Gunpowder weapons take a long time to reload, but this doesn't matter if you don't intend to reload them. This build has two arquebuses: shoot someone with a Flames of Devotion shot, switch to the second arquebus and repeat and you're going to do a lot of damage. Sure, after that you're not shooting but that's precisely when you go and tank.- 86 replies

Well on a few percent of people identify as dwarves so it's not worth pandering to them. The silent majority identify as humans so, really, we should get rid of all other races.

As a person who has never played an Orlan character I am personally furious that Obsidian spent time and effort pandering to those players who like small furry characters!

Told you it was great
-
What was the insult exactly? I can't see it myself, since it was a joke, but perhaps you can see something that's not there.
-
That is true. I hope there are some more interesting staves in Deadfire.
-
Not as far as I'm aware. It's a very good weapon thanks mainly to it's crush/burn damage (it would be even better if it was burn/crush thanks to a peculiarity of Pillars coding) and is particularly handy when fighting the various spectres and shades you meet early on in Caed Nua and the Temple of Eothas since they are weak to burn damage, but I don't know of any builds that specifically make use of it.

Do you smoulder with generic rage?
-
Ah okay, then that's not a problem, though assuming you've not played with story companions before I'd say you're missing out. I am sure a stave based caster could be designed that would work fine. Pillars is surprisingly flexible with what classes you can build. That said, it's more that Durance's story dialogue makes repeated references to his staff, so it would be a bit disconcerting to me if I had sold it (I never sell unique items anyway, since money is not hard to come by in Pillars).

@CaesarCzech - first, multiquote is your friend, not your event. Second, did you really make a reference to the rise of Hitler in comparison to this issue?! I think the bastardised version of Godwin's Law is dumb, but still...
-
Indeed. At the moment there's an awful lot of jumping to conclusions. That's all really.
-
I'd love to create a mod to do it. I am fairly confident I could work out how (I did a little item modding before), but the reality is I never get round to these sorts of things. Yeah. I realised after I'd posted that when any damage multipliers are taken into account that -1 damage starts to grow (albeit it fairly slowly). As you say, it's not the end of the world but it does take away from the end game potential of the bow.
-
Sigh... did this really need to be resurrected? Other than giving the name of the writer in question, this article doesn't add anything to what we knew in the thread from yesterday. In particular it doesn't say anything about Obsidian pressuring him to resign*. *Even if it did I would be suspicious, given the source.
-
Who said Eora was fair Back in the olden days she had a Fine Hunting Bow. At least she has something better than that now eh? EDIT: hmm... actually the -1 damage perhaps makes it worse than a standard hunting bow?
-
I wonder if it's because they haven't gamed on a PC for a long time? I know that back in the mid nineties I had to go through an arcane procedure to get Mechwarrior 2 to work (it required DX5, but for some reason you had to install DX2 first), and before that there were games that came on multiple floppies and invariable failed to install at least once and often took quite a bit of fiddling to get to work properly. But yeah, these days installing a game on a PC is a pretty painless process. That said, each to his own.

Durance's story is going to seem a little odd then It makes sense for Durance's staff to be powerful, all things considered. I know it'll never happen, but I'd love to see a soulbound version tied to his story progression.
-
You'll enjoy it, it's a brilliant ability.
-
A Paladin with Sacred Immolation will do plenty of damage, don't worry about that.
-
This is my preferred strategy once it becomes available.
-
Regardless of whether or not it's justified, the end result of said witch-hunt is controversy.
-
They also aren't necessarily false either.
-
We don't know that this writer was kicked or even pressured out of their job. It's not a particularly unusual move for a contractor who suddenly finds themselves in the midst of a controversy to step back from their other work of their own volition in order to avoid tangling their clients up in their controversy.
-
It's not Eric. I figured out who it was with a little digging, but since the name hasn't been mentioned in this thread I agree with Flow that it's best if it's not. I have no idea where the idea that this was Edér's writer came from.
-
A bit of digging online seems to suggest that the writer in question wasn't working for Obsidian and it was merely rumoured that they were being brought on to work on Deadfire.
-
My apologies, I was going off the OP since Eric was Edér's writer.
