POE 2 Suggestions
Quillon replied to armyrangr25's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Well it seems characters open space for each other with sliding to the sides in the gameplay vids, maybe the above topic won't be needed. -
First of all its crowdfunding done right: They have used crowdfunding again to increase the successful first game's budget, scope up the game not to mention the technological leap unlike some other devs who crowdfund their sequels & make them in the same confines they made the first game in. Second; what Adam(or Andy :D) says in the thank you video between 0:45-1:25 + crew system. Third; all the design parallels between Deadfire & New Vegas.

You can "one trust to the right spot" and kill with many things; a knife, a pencil... You wouldn't enter a medieval battle with a dagger in hand if you have options. Daggers are essentially medieval side-arms, but made so they can be main weapons & used in open battles in RPGs, so RL references & how good daggers are in RL meaningless here, talk about daggers for what they are in RPGs. And again, I'm not questioning daggers' place in the game; I like daggers when a rogue dual-wields them the best and I frown upon if a paladin or priest wields it If you can find a valid concept and the game allows it so you can make dagger wielding paladins & priests, good for you. You would never enter a battle with a dagger in hand because it's a side-arm, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't employ it in battle. Especially in later periods where plate armour started to be used, a dagger was an effective sidearm to have because given its size and length it was very efficient and accurate at getting between the plates of the armour and dealing a lethal wound to your adversary (in close quarters and once the other knight was disabled, that is). This is my understanding anyhow, and I don't see why it would be so incongruent with the world of Eora too. Why do you guys need to tell me how awesome a dagger is in RL again & again? Daggers are awesomER in RPGs, cos they are so good so you would employ daggers as main weps in open battle. How do you guys interpreting me not liking certain character concepts' wielding daggers to me questioning daggers' merits?
