What are your favorite narrative/thematic elements of Pillars' world/story/lore? And Why?
Messier-31 replied to injurai's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)One more thing! The world is very unique but I also like the familiarities with other work (NOTE: some are quite obvious, some are pretty subjective and entirely mine) Iovara is Deionarra (Planescape Torment) redesigned, not only in name but a bit of her story as well Fulvano is Volo (Forgotten Realms) redesigned (and a hack) Godlikes are Planetouched (Dungeons and Dragons) redesigned, while aumaua and orlans cover for halforcs and halflings Teir Nowneth - aka Heritage Hill tower - is the Severed Hand (Icewind Dale) redesigned, even dev commentary says it so Durgan's Battery is your beloved abandoned dwarven fortress in fashion of Mithral Hall (Forgotten Realms) The Black Hound inn is a nod to the cancelled 3rd part of the Baldur's Gate saga Svef is Fisstech (The Witcher) redesigned St. Waidwen, the divine king of Readceras, is based on legends of Hans Böhm, the Drummer of Niklashausen Aedyr Empire is our world Roman Empire with some pieces of The Empire from Warhammer Fantasy (sidenote: the union of men and elves is quite new and interesting) Eír Glanfath has some Loren Forest vibes (Warhammer Fantasy) Sanitarium in Defiance Bay is Spellhold (Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn) redesigned Vailians from Old Vailia and the Republics are so much like Tilea and Estalia (Warhammer Fantasy) Dunnage in the Deadfire is Sartosa (Warhammer Fantasy), the seat of power of local pirate princes ("Príncipi sen Patrena" means "Princes without Fatherland" imo) and Captain Furrante is boss And last but not least: the Eastern Reach is the Dalelands (Forgotten Realms) flipped over There is a notable absence of a good super wizard w/ pointy hat in likes of Gandalf, Elmister, Zandalor... archmages you meet are kinda dix, but that would be just another cliche on my list. And yet I like these things!

Deadfire is going to be an absolutely epic game of our generation
Messier-31 replied to firkraag888's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Don't give them ideas! There are some people who will take that as a challenge... 3D printers are changing lots of established norms.

What are your favorite narrative/thematic elements of Pillars' world/story/lore? And Why?
Messier-31 replied to injurai's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Hokai. Colonisation This is quite interesting to see nations trying to expand in the newly discovered lands. Also it was a good call, because this whole setting is *really* new, so the world your protagonist gets to explore is also new for him (the character) and you (the player). You are actually being amazed by the things you discover, because you know next to nothing. Renaissance-ish period I like the medieval themed european settings just as the next guy, but this whole age of discoveries, gunpowder etc. was a refreshing of the genre without being over the top in my opinion. Artificial gods It makes you wonder about the Engwithans even more. What was life back then without gods? What/who did they worship before creating the current pantheon? Was it even ethical to impose such a belief system in this world? Smaller things and details Different types of currency, a unique reasonable calendar, a lot of detail put into the made up languages. I love it, because you can literally translate some of the things yourself when you see the pattern. The world building of this game is great.

Messier-31 replied to injurai's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I guess this thread shoulda been in the Stories forums (you know, the one with spoilers free policy). This is the no-spoilers section. As for the topic, gonna write something up later
