  1. He will play as a pale elf, I reckon?
  2. You must be the guy who parks his car in front of the mall door.
  3. I'm pretty sure that adra dragon will be there, because if saved she is seen (as Faloenred) boarding a ship in New Heomar. What better way to see consequences of this if not in the most "shipy" game yet? Or, maybe the devs are keeping her as a long term consequence for the third part (doubt that)!
  4. From a rp view? The "I don't give a crap" type, I guess. Or the "actually all these revelations from Iovara make me change my mind" way. Or "maybe Wael or Skaen do have a point after all"
  5. This is the Dwarven Discrimination F-off Front. http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/02/15/obsidians-josh-sawyer-on-pillars-of-eternity-ii-publishers-and-dwarven-discrimination There are many reasons that people don't play as dwarves: tendency to create characters similar to their own persona they want to have a crude dwarven COMPANION (Obsidian, I'm looking at you) they want the dwarves to be more dwarfy (again Obsidian, the looking thing) No 1 Most of people want the perfect fantasy hero, that means an idealized versions of themselves. It is easy to become such as a human or an elf. Aumaua are these big towering characters, so tall and strong is probably your next pick. Orlans are small and fluffy wuffy, but most of all they are new and interesting feature, so I wager they have also quite a following. Dwarves on the other hand, they be tough, but they lack that one spark, you know. Some say that elves are boring, but look how many main characters are elves (pretty and agile killers). Guess the dwarves win on the boredometer. No 2 It would be a blast to have such a companion in your party. Many people want to have a crude dwarfy friend at their side, Korgan Bloodaxe is a great example. And because of this maybe having more dwarves in a party would be too much: "I want my bro, don't have to be a dwarf myself". Dwarven companion is mandatory to me, and from messages of other forum members in this very thread I think I'm not alone. It's like your typical fighter friend (Eder), you want a character like that to join you and be friends in adventurin' and battle. No 3 Dwarves in Pillars look kinda bad. I mean they are just shorter humans, not distinguished enough. It may be stereotypical, but this is what people are expecting to see. Dwarves should be more stumpy and have these crazy beards (males). Beards are what make a dwarf guy proud. Warhammer Fantasy is my first choice when it comes to dwarves, picture attached below. I repeat myself, but surely he has "mean mo-fo" written on his wallet. Other great looking dwarves are in Age of Wonders III. Clockwise from the upper left: Warhammer Fantasy Pillars of Eternity Pillars of Eternity Age of Wonders 3
  6. Myieesss, that was a good decision. You should be able to do just that in the Deadfire beginning.
  7. Sea monsters? Naw, you got it all wrong, the stretch goal wasn't achieved

  9. I tend to ignore multiclassing, here's my WIP list: Aloth - wizard Eder - fighter Maia Rua - ranger Pallegina - paladin Serafen - cipher Tekehu - druid at first, later a pommel to the face I suppose Xoti - priest Fassina - loremaster, 'cause there's no chanter on my list Konstanten - barbarian, 'cause Karaz-a-Karak!!! Rekke - brawler, this could actually make sense for him, even tho I diss monks Ydwin - mindstalker, 'cause there already is a cipher (Serafen) and a rogue (me)
  10. Very true, this is why I thought to myself that Rauatai probably will be on a different continent due to Eastern Reach being rather "recently" discovered. As for JES, this may be confusing because of the lenght of the archipelago: it supposedly spans from the southern pole all the way to the equator.
  11. "The Deadfire, when we first conceived of it, I just thought it would be cool to have at the eastern edge of the known world, at least in this part of the world, the eastern edge of the known world is this huge chain of islands mostly made up of dormant volcanoes, which is where the name Deadfire comes from." Source: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2018/02/06/pillars-ii-director-interview.aspx "The Great Kingdom of Rauatai is an aumaua nation in the Rauatai Gulf north of Ixamitl Plains." "A powerful kingdom established by conquest centuries ago, Rauatai is a major naval power on the shores of the north-eastern continent." Source: https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Rauatai
  12. Just a placeholder, probably. And yet there is a reward of a detailed Deadfire map in the Ultimate Digital FIG version of the game.
  13. It's almost 5 months and over 270 participants later. Because the release of the sequel is quite near a little summary is in order: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfU-QiwWJ7nfhOcABVcNvfu-h-XGH-gs0l-WL2nqus7NRzcMg/viewanalytics As of today (2018-02-19) there were 271 participants, and the main conclusion of this survey is the fact that most players want good endings, you angels at heart you. It was debated before in this thread, and the trend easily managed to stay this way. Souls of the Hollowborn The winner is Hylea's choice, followed by Galawain's choice. The second runner up is Berath's choice, and other choices are pretty far behind. Most of the players are leaning to "good" ending, because the semi-good Wael comes next, and the ones considered to be kinda evil are barely seen on the graph. Angered gods No angered gods choice destroyed the other possible outcomes (it figures, you goody-two-shoes players). Angering gods in Pillars of Eternity is like being atheist in Poland. Defiance Bay Another strong victory for a choice considered mostly good. The Crucible Knights abandon their forge-knight project and establish order in the city. Most players probably view this faction as some kind of a noble order, so this is their pick. But doubts are more visible here, as the following Dozens are not in a bad shape. House Doemenel in shadows is the first not so noble choice to have such a following. Animancy's fate Animancy is acquited, Sanitarium rebuilt gets over 80%. I can tell that you like science and progress in the real life. The Master Below The Master is mostly killed, but some did set him/her free. I wonder, was it because they wanted/roleplayed it, or just had trouble fighting it... huh. Pallegina Half of you makes her a Kind Wayfarer in the end. Another noble thing to you, don't you think? Following choice is banished and pardoned, which means that again you good guys make her go against the ducs! Almost 3/4 of players want to save Dyrwood. Edér For the majority of players he ends up as mayor, but the secret eothasian organisation has a strong representation too. For a noticeable group of players (11% is quite a lot) this guy doesn't get his quest solved at all. Aloth Aloth dismantles the Leaden Key crushed the opposition, am I surprised? No. But there is quite a lot of players who thought that making him a grandmaster instead will benefit you somehow. Meaningless amount of elf haters here. Vela, the orlan baby Wow, what a score, this is almost tied you know. So you just wanna poison Simoc, but can't decide whether to take the baby for yourself? I'm amazed that more than 12% of players skipped this quest. The Eyeless Another almost tied score. Again the good nature of mankind makes you wanna restore Abydon, but you are almost equally divided when it comes to tempering him. Given the fact that tempering is quite difficult to achieve I'm surprised with this score. Maybe it coulda been higher were it not the scripted trouble. Some destroyers in the miniroty. Llengrath What's with these tied scores lately? Kill or pact, it seems there is no major preference, but killing seems to take the slight lead. For a bunch of do-gooders you really like to kill a lot of people. Thaos Ah, the cherry ot the top. Majority erases his memories and lets his soul go: again noble. But there are in fact two destroy options (with different incentives) so I must say that destroy choice is the winner here. *** Whatever the case, I'm really looking forward to see some of these choices have an impact in Deadfire. Thanks for voting!
  14. The answer is as simple as in our own real world: no one knows.
  15. Pretty much same story in my case. What's wrong with this world?!
  16. Stronghold visitors (particularly Azurro) are known for their absence https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/93139-rare-footage-of-azzuro/
