I really hope they are further along with fixes etc than I am expecting. I want so badly to be optimistic, but I know more than I want to about game development, and I'm expecting at least three more major patches for the TBM to be "finished". 

 

I'll be so happy to be wrong though, hopefully only a few hours left to find out.

I would honestly be surprised if they released any more patches after this one (and pleasantly so, mind you.)

If they call it a day after this patch, I'll be genuinely flabbergasted. Think for a moment how many patches they have needed after every release (main game and DLC) in order to fix new or longstanding bugs - and we haven't even heard yet if they consider TBM out of beta yet. 

 

There is zero chance this is the "last" patch. Not when they are dropping such a large patch on us - when we see a decrease in issues being fixed by patches, and patches become extremely scarce, that's when we can expect patches and updates to cease. But not now, not when they still haven't finalised a version to be ported to consoles. There is just too much going on for this to be the last patch. 

 

However, assuming TBM is coming out of beta, this may be the last bit of new content. We may only ever see fixes after this.

There were 8 more small patches after PoE1 v3.0.0.

So I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least 1 balance patch and around 3 hotfixing ones :)

Wow. Given how this has gone -- commercial disaster, Microsoft acquisition, long silence from developers -- I would think it's pretty much set in stone that this will be the last thing ever for Deadfire, and probbly for Eora, too.

 

Will be very happy to be proven wrong, but I'd say this will be it.

I'm pretty sure it's not the last thing we heard from Eora. Else Josh wouldn't be so invested in playtesting the Pen&Paper version. :)

It would also mean to not use an overall successful IP. Even if Deadfire sold less than expected (who knows how long it lives though), PoE did very well and both saw acclaim from critics and users as well - even won awards. You don't simply abandon something like that.

If we'll see another isometric party RPG though... Don't know. Josh said multiple times (and just recently) that he needs a pause from isometric party based RPGs. Doesn't mean that nobody else will design  PoE3, but maybe it's a hint that the motivation isn't as high as it used to be when it comes to developing such a game.

I would be fine with a tactical RPG. Or Kotor on Eora. Hey, even a beat'em up would be cool. Seeker-Slayer-Survivor style. ;)

I would probably buy any games in the Pillars of Eternity universe (provided they were made available through GoG), but if it's any genre other than RTwP isometric party-based RPG, there's a good chance I'd get bored of it before I'm halfway through (speaking from experience.)

That said, I would be delighted if the upcoming patch were not to be the last for Deadfire.

Very cool!

 

Also, confirmed as the final patch (unfortunately.)

Awesome news - definitely looking forward to trying this out :)

 

Anyone know when the patch will be live? I thought it might be live already, but Steam apparently didn't get the message, because even though the News feed has the 5.0 update, nothing is being updated. I verified the game files, and 4.1.2 is apparently still the latest official release Not sure if it's me or if it just hasn't been actually released yet.

That patch is tempting - I mean the ultimate, wonder how TB-mode ended up, hope they got it all settled!! ... As for the other patch, Magran's though ... thinking diplomatic is the way to go!  Also, who can record for that long????  30 plus hours straight of recordings?

I'm not sure if this was ever brought up anywhere, but I've started a new game and it appears to me that a lot of dialogue was re-written and even re-voiced. I'm noticing a lot of altered lines that I swear I haven't heard before, and I've barely finished the tutorial cave.

I am particularly impressed, not only since I thought this not necessary for minor NPCs, but the re-voicing must have cost even more money.

They mention in the video that they redid some content including new voice-overs. Mainly relating to Woedica and Eothas so don't expect the whole game to be new but supposed to make the gods' motivations clearer.
