Who is Mirke?
Katarack21 replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I'm surprised she's not Nalpazca so she can get bonuses for being drunk all the time. -
Yeah, but that menagerie was pretty sweet. Or, to like her as a character because she at least has second thoughts about an order that she followed but didn't agree with. And, the Huana have a permanent slave class as part of their culture - do we want them to have strong leaders to carry that forward? It is the gray areas that make this an interesting discussion. I'm not sure that I'd call the Roparu a "slave class". Nobody *owns* a Roparu; you can't buy them, sell them, trade them, etc. And the Roparu appear to have rights; nobody forces them out of bed with whips and clubs and beats them if they don't show up for work. They're treated very badly, but they're more like Untouchables than slaves.

Who is Mirke?

I didn't start a new game, but I hadn't finished Fort Deadlight yet, either. I did it real quick and then she joined. -
She's a meadow orlan. It's the forest orlans that are furry. Or as the SLAVE MASTERS say, Hearth Orlans and Wild Orlans. Isn't she the same type as Serafen? He sure looks furrier than her, she looks like a small blue human or elf. No, he's a Wild Orlan. She's a Hearth Orlan. Hearth Orlans only really have fur on their ears and sometimes lightly on parts of their bodies. The whole reason they're called "Hearth" Orlans is because they look more "normal" and were preferred as house slaves because of it. She still has the size, giant ears, unusual skin coloration, and cat-slitted eyes of Orlans in general.

Is she a raider? Does she come with points in sleight of hand? Her background is raider, yes. She does not have points in Sleight of Hand at level 1--she has Alchemy 2, Athletics 3, Stealth 1, Insight 2, Metaphysics 2, Religion 2, and Streetwise 1. -
That is, I picked the "everything wrong" option from the background histories and started up a game as a fury druid/evoker wizard. I'm only a couple hours in, so I can't say a whole lot, but there's this: 1) *MAN* the god's are pissed at me. 2) The opening segment is considerably more difficult without Eder.

Alternatively, it's the far future many years after the Breaking of the Wheel; the Oldwalls and the Spires are the last remnants of a failed animancy project meant to fix it. The God's are long dead, and humanity has forgotten the existence of the soul; it is now manipulated only unconsciously and instinctively through the prism of belief. Technology has regressed to the bronze age again, and all knowledge of the past was lost due to the effects of the last animancy project, which shattered the world an caused Orlans to turn into Beastmen. The other Kith races were slaughtered in anti-animancy pograms. Goodbye Eora. Welcome to Terratus, where evil won.

Maia's mission was an assassination of an effective leader who was politically inconvenient. He was innocent of any wrongdoing. That isn't exactly the same as killing someone for criminal behavior. You can certainly argue that killing is not the right penalty for a criminal, but one of those seems worse than the other. No? I'm not taking the bounty because I want to right wrongs and make the world just. I'm just killing a dude for pay. The legal aspects were all taken care of before I got involved; the man may be a convicted criminal and all, but for me personally it's just a job that I'm hired to do. I'm providing the service of killing this dude, for the exchange of money. So from my perspective, from my personal standpoint, no. There's not much difference.

Some people here want an excuse to absolve assassinations done by Rauataians, and Maia in particular, so they employ a reverse psychology on the Watcher by implying he's no better by taking bounties, that's all Well...I mean, they take money to kill people. You can parse it lots of different ways, but at the end of the day the job is murder; telling yourself anything else is just justification.

Favourite side quests?
Katarack21 replied to Yenkaz's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Overgrowth has that unique diving helmet interaction, which I think is really cool, and you learn a lot of intimate history about the Deadfire that's totally optional. And the Kraken is one of the best boss encounters of the game, IMHO. -
In Tyranny, the world seems to run on belief. If enough people believe strongly enough in something about you, that thing will become true. This is how Voices of Nerat went from a normal human man to the insane fire-covered skull-thing he is. How does this correlate with the soul-fueled magic of PoE?
