Frog Man

honestly the closed beta was such a blast, its fun to revisit it. I love that they didnt start the beta at the beginning of the game, but in tikiwara instead. it was surreal to hop in poe2 for the first time after playing pillars 1 for 1000 hours

Fun challenge for the power gamers here. I fired up the closed beta for Deadfire which is still playable, they start you at lvl 6 with a fighter, priest, wizard, and rogue and your created character in Tikawara with the entire island and Poko Kahara playable. On Path of the Damned, I'm not even sure it's possible to beat it. I've tried a few different builds and my team just gets steamrolled.

Still Here! Also the pillars Reddit is pretty active too with Boeroer and others responding there often. I played a full turn based run through last and it’s so refreshing returning for RTWP this time. I just picked up Vatnir (my favorite character!) and am tackling the beast of winter with a wonderfully fun party. 1) sc troubadour bc I want to see the dragon summon 2) rekke monk fighter - sturdy and reliable 3) Maia doing the pin down poet job proning everyone with arbalest 4) vatnir zealot blasting away with scepters 5) Tekehu theurge spamming heals and foe only aoes. EKERA! long live Deadfire!! I’ll keep replaying it every year it’s just the best. If you’re looking for other games I do recommend darkest dungeon 1 and 2! Great turn based fun and the only games I’ve spent as much time on as pillars.

bo we ARE SO BACK!!!!!

NOW THERE IS MOTHER****ERS

Not to tin foil hat but would they put this much effort in for a game that launched so long ago? Or do they have ….other plans in the future…. a guy can dream! KICKSTART AN ICEWIND DALE STYLE PILLARS GAME I WILL SEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND PICTURES OF MY WIFES BOOBS

WE ARE SO BACK JESUS LOVES US AND LOVES OBSIDIAN !!!!! @thelee @Boeroer @MaxQuest @omgFIREBALLS EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!!!!! and yes I volunteer for the turn based testing

This will go nicely with my full party of priests!! Love it bo

Love the build. Gonna give it a go!

Nice! Was just reading about blade feast in another topic on here. Awesome stuff. I guess a concern would be that you can’t get Engolio for quite some time right? The hanging sepulchers are tough …

Long time no see all! It’s that time again, I’m ready to go back to the Deadfire. Will be doing a POTD run. I’ve never done the archetype of the big nasty 2hand warrior guy who smites waves of foes with his giant sword. Would appreciate a build suggestion! All classes/multiclasses on the table, but would like to use a 2hand sword.

Are we back?? IM THINKING WE’RE BACK

one more question - does the unarmed build work with tuotillo's palm or the magran shield? or should i stay with just fists

Bo - thank you for generosity and wisdom!!! Now the only difficulty is deciding between those two awesome builds. A few quick notes: first build reminds me of an unarmed Barb build that you made work for Pillars 1 ! You must enjoy this sort of thing (I love finding ways to make fists work in this game and in others Concelhaut's touch is awesome - im finishing up a run in Forgotten Sanctum right now and Fassina has been conjuring that with a phantom and the two of them have been punching people's faces off. love that trick. wasn't aware of the grimoire swap trick! Fighting with fists - do you not get the bonuses of items taht say 'get X with weapons' - like belt of magran's chosen - +3% damage dealt as burn with weapons ? i've ALWAYS gone spirit tornado on barbs, excited to try out blood storm Again thanks for this! Excited to play an evil bastard this go around and see some of the reactivity for being a famous cannibal. If my companions or crew piss me off i'll probably eat them too. will report back and let you know how it goes!

Only restrictions - no command line cheAts (still hunting achievements!) lowest level for my party as possible turn based mode only explanation - for my new playthrough id like to use Vatnir as early as possible but that damned zombie dragon stands in my way!! I usually can’t beat her unless I have a geared out lvl 14 or higher Party. So please help me kill her sooner so I can recruit Vatnir! gracias!!! edit: one more note - this doesn’t have to include cheese if just have some solid strategy I can employ to beat her. I know about interrupting Llengraths safeguard.
