HoopleDoople Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For my first Deadfire playthrough I imported my PoE save, and there were some definite downsides to the choices I had made. I didn't have access to the Devil of Caroc Breastplate and at one point Wael made me lose all my scrolls. I have no complaints about this, and in particular found the loss of scrolls highly amusing. But going forward I would like to understand the optimal choices so I can strike an appropriate balance between power-gaming and role-playing for a given run. I would greatly appreciate some insight into which choices impact gameplay beyond merely altering plot/conversations. A list of no-brainer choices that are pure upside (e.g. Devil of Caroc spared Harmke) would be fantastic. Opinions on the choices that offer mutually exlcusive benefits (e.g. Aloth's Leaden Key decision) would also be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountGrishnackh Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Out of the top of my head: Wispers of Yenwood and Blade of the Endless Paths forged Devil of Caroc Dead for the Breastplate (dont know if sacrifice enables the breastplate) Sacrifice any companion not reappearing in PoE2 depending on char build. Eder, Aloth, Pallegina Alive Aloth rebuilds leaden key (enables headdress) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eder, Aloth, Pallegina Alive Aloth rebuilds leaden key (enables headdress) Sacrificing DoC does give you the breastplate, and you'll get +1 dex after Hasongo. Is the headdress any good? I quite like the sceptre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgFIREBALLS Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Gift from the Machine. If you're going to play no-rest you could consider dealing with the souls according to Hylea's wishes to get her supreme food. Well, you could consider it either way.

I quite like the sceptre good thing you'll get both headdress and sceptre =D the headdress gives acc for the wearer and a will defense aura, so yes, its one of the best helms in the game and you get it super early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountGrishnackh Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) You get both if Aloth is rebuilding the Leaden Key? 95% sure, i definitely got both in a playthrough and im pretty sure that was the background i chose. home in about an hour, will see if i can make it 100% /edit not so sure anymore, couldn't find keybreaker scepter (sold most stuff to nekataka supplies, wasnt there, wont ship around to every other merchant right now) Edited June 12, 2018 by CountGrishnackh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubya Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 When I had Aloth take over the Leaden Key he got the headress, when I had Aloth destroy the Leaden Key he got the sceptre. Both are nice but I prefer the headress and story wise I like Aloth as the new Thaos I gave all the souls to Woedica in my game because I thought Thaos had the right idea and got +1 power level in game I think. My PoE runs were all on a different computer so I had to use the create a backstory option and answer how I did my quests. Is there a list somewhere that shows what happens in game based on your choices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cevogreen Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Bump, I've done some searching but I have had trouble finding a true list of outcomes for each pick in the create-a-history option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaylon Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Hylea gives an unique food with 3 charges (start of the game), Berath gives an item with 3 charges (start of the game), Galawain weakens the dragons (they have a strong debuff called Galawain's Favor), Woedica is supposed to give +1 PL (however the conditions to activate it are unknown). Rymrgrand's and Wael's rewards are unknown. Edited June 17, 2018 by Kaylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yougottawanna Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm just wondering if there's any new info on the Woedica +1 PL thing. I assume that pledging to Skaen and then giving the souls to Woedica gives you +1 PL at Hosongo but I wondered if anyone had tested it.

omgFIREBALLS Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 We're getting some Obsidian attention in this thread, but so far we only know about Gift of Hope, which was supposed to be the reward for not sacrificing anyone to the blood pool but is bugged. Hopefully Soul-Power is next to receive clarification. Quote Out With The Good: The mod for tidying up your Deadfire combat tooltip.Waukeen's Berth: Make all your basic purchases at Queen's Berth.

schalins Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Now that we know that the "Gift of Hope" got axed, does anyone knows how to activate the +1 PL Woedica PoE1 ending perk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgFIREBALLS Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The more likely thing seems to be that if we get CDiaz to ask about it, they'll say it wasn't implemented and they'll remove its game data too. Rinse repeat until there are no more talents that the community doesn't know how to get. Which currently seems to be three and they all involve evil (GftM, ER and the mutiny talent).
