Obsidian is having a community item creation poll on twitter

Obsidian seems to be letting the community give their opinions on a single item (to be included in a later patch) via Twitter polls.

 

Greetings Watchers! Because we love you all, we want to work with you to create an item in #Deadfire. Over the next few days, we'll be putting up polls for various aspects of the item. The winner of each day will then go into the item in an upcoming patch! Stay tuned!

The first choice is already up and it is what the weapon type should be (Wand, Pollaxe, Morningstar or Hunting Bow). It ended up being a bow.

 

The second choice is up, and it is about its appearence (Engwithan, Animancer Technology, Huana Tribal and Undead). Animancer Technology ended up winning.

 

The third choice is up, and it's about its effect (Speed, Power, Hindering Foes, Wild and Unpredictable).

They should do a poll here for a runner up item.

Wow, I’m a golden tier funder while my item is not made in the game yet, now they are doing a poll ahead of mine, good

Huh. Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised... Maybe they're being included in the same update though. Also, mind if I ask what weapon type you requested?

DLC maybe?

 

FWIW, I was told the backer items would be sold by merchants and designed mine accordingly. I was a little miffed to find it as loot on a quasi faction-locked quest. I get your frustration.

Yeah the support told me it can be put into one of the DLC.

Soooo... little spoiler?

 

 

EDIT: The custom community item clearly must be a pollaxe. Vote for pollaxe, people. Vote for pollaxe.

Oh i regret my vote now that hunting bow is winning. oh well. 

yes yes everyone vote hunting bow! hunting bow master race!

It needs to be a hunting bow because Deadfire only has one unique and that's it.

Pollaxe has Wahaī Pōraga and Lord Darryn's Voulge.

But Pollaxe is so much cooler. Who wants to unironically use hunting bows, come on

I will not, I don't like bows. But I'm so amazingly objective, yeehaa!

Hunting bow and if it's possible with a nature theme or music. 

 

Hey baby, I will play my bow while my arrow hits you. 

make it shoot lightning! oh I mean acid. 

I dont have Twitter (and I dont want). I think Obsidian need use oficial forum for this pool.... Stupid socials webs

Maybe they're worried about the Codex people.

 

(kidding)

Thank god there's no option for sword or sabre. The weapon type with the least uniques needs to win, and I'm a sword guy.

Obviously Twitter has a higher reach AND from a marketing perspective it would be not very effective to place such a poll in a forum where most likely everybody already has Deadfire.

 

We have a bow that is ice-themed (Frostseeker) and another that does corrode damage (Caedebald's Blackbow). It's time for a bow that shoots mud!

 

I call it "Fango Pack".

 

Chance to apply a single-target version of Slicken on hit.

It obviously needs to be a sword, and possibly made from obsidian.

Oh wait, that's the other thread

I really hope we get a wand. They let us dual wield them in Deadfire, then only gave us one unique.

The lightning's going to be for when they bring back Stormcaller from PoE1.

 

Because they really should. I think we should have a flashy bow for every element.

Wands are bad, mmkay? Scepters is what you want to dual-wield. I voted Morning Star - by far the most useful thing we can get. There are two in game, I think, one of which sucks.

Frostseeker is a war bow though (because of me missclicking mind you, the intention was to make a hunting bow).

 

But a hunting bow doing electric damage could be a fitting homage to the Shortbow of Gesen from BG2.

I want a one handed morning star ...
