I think this definitely needs a patch... To make all other companions be nude too!

Sigh. I've no doubt people dislike the resting system. I didn't say otherwise. I said I doubt any significant number of people actually went back to town regularly during dungeons to resupply in PoE1.

Eothas never saw that coming when he broke the wheel

Adding a malus to hardtack and water won't change anything: I'll just use rice instead (same as I do for my ship). Add a malus to that and I'll just use the next cheapest food and so on. Money really isn't scarce so unless they make all but the most expensive foods come with a malus it's not going to matter. Also I doubt many people actually felt forced to return to town to buy camping supplies in the middle of dungeons. I strongly suspect that's a narrative made up by people who didn't like the camping supply system (probably because it was a change from the Infinity Engine games). Some people might have gotten frustrated and given up on the game as a result, but the idea that any significant proportion of players were actually regularly sitting through three or four load screens to resupply sounds like bull**** to me.

She surely needs her own Nalpazca variant that works with alcohol. That's the one true perfect class for her.

Yeah I am. I played a few partial play-throughs and am now returning to PoE1 to play an import save and Tyranny (for the first time). I'll probably take another look at Deadfire when the Beast of Winter drops.

Thanks for the heads up, it's only free for the weekend but it's for sale at 66% off as well so I will probably pick it up.

I really don't. Of the three sidekicksfour she's the one that interests me the least.

When you respec you lose all your Watcher abilities and the only way to get them back is via the console. Are you going to claim that's intended behaviour?

It's a very cool item. Which item did you create in PoE if you don't mind me asking.

The exact same is true of Meteor Shower and Wizards: it's exceptionally broken and not representative of the class as a whole. Only difference is it's a high level ability rather than one available before leaving Port Maje. Again, no they weren't. People were well aware that Wizards were viable in the beta (when this "whining" was taking place), just that there was a big disparity in power between them and the martial classes. Based on the information available in the beta this was definitely true. Even post release I'd say it's true, although less so at high levels.

It's not underpowered no, but they are underpowered compared to (some) martial classes. Meteor Shower is overpowered right now yes, but it's PL 9. Fighters get cleave stance at (iirc) PL 2 and that trivialises the game. Similarly with Monks and Swift Flurry. The whole balance is broken right now. The game's a cakewalk on PotD by the time you get PL 9 abilities (actually long before) regardless of class.

People didn't say they were going to be useless. They said they would be underpowered compared to martial classes. They are.

Agreed. It makes perfect sense.

To avoid bugs Obsidian have to make sure they thoroughly test the new alcohols. After that they need to recover from their collective hangovers. Only then will the DLC be released.

Hah, no worries on that front. Four us fine by me.

It's not from Latin so no.

Seems like a worthwhile thing to buy next time its on sale.

I think it's a holdover from PoE's DR system, where Raw damage was a lot better (and so needed lower values to be balanced). I agree that in Deadfire it's too low.

Yeah, but then that kinda begs the question "what was so great about Galvino's creation of Devil?" The whole thing was that she wasn't a mindless automata, but neither are those two.

Indeed. The concrete existence of a soul in Eora makes the question more complicated. I'd tend to take the view that all vessels we meet (apart from Devil) are dead, since they take the form of classical undead or mindless automata* but Devil is a more complicated case certainly. *Actually I'm not sure whether the throne lady of Caed Nua and the chief animancer in Defiance bay are vessels or not?

In before Twinned Shot becomes the most powerful ability after nerfs to everything else.

I think this becomes a philosophical question about what being "dead" means in a world where your soul can, and often does, survive your body's destruction. If we're going by what happened to her original physical body then I strongly suspect the villagers who wanted her executed didn't leave it intact after he soul was transferred, so she's almost certainly dead by those standards. If we're going by what happens to her soul after her physical body dies then a lot of people who are obviously dead in game aren't actually dead (Persok for example isn't dead, since his soul is fine and in another vessel).

It's confirmed, I'm really good

I've never played it. Is it worth a go?
