No names were named. If you choose to project your own silly billiness onto my post that's on you

Yup, and even when other games in the same genre do well it doesn't necessarily hurt Deadfire. It might come as a surprise to some people, but I know at least two distinct individuals who own both Deadfire and DOS2 (one of them even likes Bethesda games but he's a silly billy).

I'd even go so far as to say 26th is pretty good given that the list includes games that aren't really RPGs (at least of the same type as Deadfire) and that the list includes games like the Witcher 3 (and 2 and 1) and Divinity Original Sin 2. And bear in mind Deadfire was (admittedly briefly) the overall top seller on Steam near its release (a bit like Two Point Hospital is right now*). *Or was when I checked, it might already have been replaced for all I know.

Yeah, that's the same way I checked just now. To elaborate, when you remove multiples of the same game from the chart, at this moment Deadfire is the 26th best seller on Steam. I don't know over what window that is calculated (I'd guess it's a continuously rolling week long window). As for whether it's selling well on Steam, it's really hard to say. What did PoE's position look like day-by-day four months after its release and how does Deadfire compare to it? I don't know and I doubt anyone other than Steam and Obsidian do. Hopefully eventually we'll get some news out of Obsidian, both about how well Deadfire has sold and about whether or not they're going to do a PoE3.

Indeed. Teasing is supposed to keep a person excited but there was so little in that teaser to actually be excited by. It revealed that SSS will contain at least one new map (which we could probably guess) and a new enemy that looks like an Engwithan Titan that's been set of fire.

Where are you getting that from? I've done a search on Steam for games with the tag RPG and ordered by top seller (here's a link, although I don't know whether it'll work properly: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?tags=122&filter=topsellers&page=2) and Deadfire appears in the 37th place. However there are two things to consider with this: This method of determining top sellers only represents sales within a window, not all time sales, and that window isn't stated (I know this because the overall top seller at the moment is Two Point Hospital and I can guarantee to you that that hasn't outsold PUBG in absolute terms). If we look at the other entries in the top selling Steam RPGs we see some weird things. For example, not surprisingly there are three entries in the top 25 for The Witcher 3 (the GOTY edition, the base game and the expansion pass), four entries for Black Desert Online and two entries for Divinity Original Sin 2. That's a total of nine entries in the top 25 for just three games. Moreover there are some games in the list whose status as RPGs is questionable e.g. Crusader Kings 2, Payday 2 and Stardew Valley. Given these two factors I don't see Deadfire's position in this ranking as being representative of very much. It clearly doesn't represent overall sales (overwise PUBG or CSGO would definitely be at the top of the overall top sellers), the rankings are bloated by multiple entries for the same game and they include games that Deadfire shouldn't even be being compared to. EDIT: of course if I am being naive in my method for checking top sellers and there's a better method please do correct me.

Who's talking about how to pirate games? I see people talking about pirating and how it does or doesn't affect sales, but no one has actually explained how to do it.

Terrified, but I believe that Obsidian removed the ability to cause disengagement attacks caused by Terrified enemies at some point during the beta.

The teaser doesn't tell us much (nice map, cool monster), but a release date is much appreciated.

Interesting, though it doesn't surprise me. There has been a movement away from Steam amongst a subset of PC gamers on the grounds that Steam is bad in a variety of ways, and GOG is probably the main alternative for these people. In addition to what house2fly says (which I agree with), I suspect that Deadfire is probably more popular amongst this group than amongst the population as a whole (old school CRPG fans are more likely to be the sort of people who will leave Steam on ethical grounds). I look forward to hearing news from Obsidian itself on how well Deadfire has done. I am quite willing to believe it hasn't done as well as Pillars, but I strongly suspect the news of its failure will turn out to have been grossly exaggerated.

Even then I think they do it anywhere near as well as more linear games.

I'd assume Ondra's challenge would involve repeating the intro sequence with Berath every time you rest as well, since she'd have to remind you that you're her Herald and that you have a job to do.

"The question would be what god would make sense to associate with such a change?" Maybe Woedica? She is not in the timeline yet. My thought as well. Maybe Abydon as a Plan B? Rymrgand: entropy is tiring stuff, you've got to take a rest to recover from its effects.

Now that can't be right. I've seen multiple threads on these very forums declaring that Deadfire is the biggest flop since Willy escaped his enclosure, some appearing less than a week after release when Deadfire failed to knock PUBG as the Steam top seller for more than a day or so. As I understand it, Deadfire is so unsuccessful it has literally sold negative copies: Obsidian have actually had to pay people to install it on their computers.

As I understand it, SA goes through phases of being viewable by subscriber only and phases where it's viewable by all. Not sure why exactly.

Fairly certain they do. The armour, at least, starts as Superb (I haven't had a look at the shield yet) so it would be surprising if it didn't upgrade to Legendary.

He did and it was fun to watch

This guy gets it!

Pun intended?

It's explicitly a Battle Axe rather than a Pollaxe that simply looks like a Battle Axe, so I'd expect so. I was somewhat surprised how few additional weapons there are in the expansion, although I only took a brief look last night so perhaps I missed some. That said, they are pretty cool so I'm not too bothered.

I think the best we've been given is the three season pass DLCs are supposed to be a similar length to the DLCs for New Vegas.

Yep. To the best of my knowledge he isn't leaving Obsidian.

This is, sadly, pretty much never going to happen.

You should have a key available in your Obsidian Portal, I've had it since (iirc) shortly after release. No need to log back into Fig afaik. Portal can be found here [urk]https://eternity.obsidian.net/[/url] (top right).

Parody is hard to detect when it mimics reality so closely so, perhaps, next time just say "no".
