Starting back at level 1?
kirottu replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I do think there needs to be something for our Watchers to show what they went through in POE. Like "You're the Hero of Dyrwood. You get +2 resolve."

Starting back at level 1?
kirottu replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yea, I don't get how stealing part of your soul suddenly makes you forget how to swing a sword or sing a song. Lorewise, your character's powers are soul based. That means getting soul drained is the equivalent of level drain in D&D, except Eora is piss poor in term of soul restoration magic as the first POE game showed (aka it has none and everyone screw things up the moment they start to play with souls). Also, remember that a bîaŵac kill most people and that steal souls from a bodies...except the Watchers, they still end up on their asses and get weird visions because of it though. Indeed. They have set-up an entirely in-universe plausible reason for this, it fits in with the given lore easily. Actually they do have a legitimate reason for it plotwise, it's called bad writing. If a kid writing an essay at school had written a story about a big bad giant climbing out of a hole and hitting a character with a nerf bat while devouring his soul he'd probably fail. I certainly don't expect this level of writing from Obs. I am really not opposed to starting with a new character at level one who has to deal with Eothas, but really this is just silly. At any rate I'm not going to keep harping on by it, it's a done deal. As said, I will still play the game, I've just dropped the pledge by about 2/3rds because this childish writing does not bode well. That's it. The game still will get funded and do well I'm sure. Just not off me. It's not called bad writing, it's called bad premise. Even then how good or bad it is is matter of taste. I have no problem with it.

kirottu replied to Ethics Gradient's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If there was a profession where ineptitude was a requirement it would be game journalist. "Time, how does it work?" "IDK, just post it now LOL." "LOL KK."- Why Not Both?
kirottu replied to CursedByLight's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Obsidian could do Fallout series set in Europe. It would be geographically far enough from Bethesda's Fallouts so they both could do their own thing in peace.- Project Louisiana is actually once cancelled Seven Dwarfs game.
What's my proof you might ask. Well, gather around kids and let me illuminate you with my big and shiny logic: Louisiana starts with the letter "L". If you turn it upside down it kinda looks like number "7", like in Seven Dwarfs. Boom! Minds blown! That's the important part. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.- Chelsea Manning Sentence Commuted

kirottu replied to cplr's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Looks like soviet farming simulator where you get to choose who to resurrect: Lenin or Stalin. Set in future with space combat and total freedom of what kind of waterfall you get to build.- Chelsea Manning Sentence Commuted
This is appalling patriarchy in action. Just because she's now a woman doesn't mean she couldn't have served the sentence she got when she was a man. There's no doubt in my mind that she would have actually served her time better now, but she was robbed the chance to show everybody that women are better than men, because powers that be, i.e. patriarchy, got scared.- What's on the idiot box?
I do mean that literally. I don't think Mycroft would make such a stupid decision. It doesn't make any sense.- What's on the idiot box?

1) Boomerang guy had surveillance boomerangs (which he used to spy on Incubus). He was also a fair fighter and shown to be able to break into places, so not without some skill. All of those are things those no-name SEAL guys could do. Well, not with boomerangs, but, like, they could have a surveillance drone or something. Did they show that? I might have dozed off at that point.- Movies You've Seen Recently
I saw Rogue One today and I would rate it as second best Star Wars movie after Empire Strikes Back. I even got bit teary eyed two times: and "red leader, gold leader standing by" scene.- What's on the idiot box?
I actually enjoyed Enterprise, but I'm a Scott Bakula fanboi so that might got something to do with it. The opening theme is just pure cringe though.- First trip to Europe
You're just mad, because I didn't mention Angela Merkel. She just a second rate Tarja Halonen.- First trip to Europe
