ManifestedISO Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I wondered that, too. One of my favorite bits from the old D&D Dragonlance novels was when the god Paladine took the form of a befuddled mortal wizard, literally setting events in motion. 1 All Stop. On Screen.

Ganrich Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Could be Eothas is a companion. What class would the god of renewal, light, redemption, spring, rebirth, dawn and birth be? I must say the only class to fit him would be a Priest. It's the best fit. Perhaps a multiclass? Priest/Druid (spring/dawn), Priest/Paladin (he isn't happy and that could make him much more martial), Priest/Fighter (same reason as Paladin), Priest/Barbarian (same as Fighter and Paladin but it's down right rage), Priest/Chanter (I don't know...), and I don't think anything else fits. EDIT: Priest/Monk could also work if they play up that the Godhammer damaged him, and now he embraces that pain while also embracing the betrayal from the Kith of Eora and feeding on that pain.

Dr <3 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Or maybe they just forgot an "l" or Hel means actually "hell". Would make sense: ethoas "quenched the flames of hell" ( actually hell or a reference to godshammer) and came back to Life to finish the job, pissed like only a God can. Actually we don't know the reason of his First personal crusade, maybe the sequel will light this mistery ad well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suen Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I wonder if Eothas will have a ego bigger than his shiny head. No matter what, we are going to meet Eothas. This is awesome. I've come to burn your kingdom down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethics Gradient Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Btw: anybody dechiphered the symbols? Medium-high confidence that it spells out deadfire. Check out the first page or two of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Phoenix Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 About Hel from SA forums (they are opened now), quote from Josh Sawyer: People use the term Hel in two ways: 1) another way to refer to the Beyond, the place where souls go between incarnations or 2) the depths of the world, where people assume adra pillars originate. In most Eoran minds, these are the same place, the former being metaphysical/spiritual, the latter being the physical. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, since recently when he was asked where the pillars go, he said "that's a very good question, I'm not going to answer that". Maybe we'll go there? Although Hel being the Beyond sounds more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anameforobsidian Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm gonna be pissed if it's a Fig campaign that I miss because I live on the East Coast and have job where I can't look at the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baramos Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Didn't they mention they were working on it last year? Maybe we won't get a kickstarter/fig campaign at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also continued a little further on his Q&A tumblr page: "Hel does not have an inherently negative connotation in Eora, i.e. it is not imagined/described as a realm of fire and brimstone where souls or tormented."

Guest Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It is more likely that Eoathas has return, and feels like got hammer in the head, so is a bit moody. Eder poster claimed that Eder god has return, and is not forgiving one. Not to mention that Eoathas is master reborn, and his power wasnt fully wiped out in PoE1, and Eora is generally driven by soul recycling. Not to mention that new incarnation of old god brings some good crpg memories. ;- I don't think it's a coincidence that Eothas is the god of rebirth. Also, consider that Abydon was destroyed and then rebuilt himself (so we know it's something they can do). Also, Eder mentions that Eothas was the god most understanding of humans and sympathetic to them. If you read, The Great White Stag (in-game book), I don't think it's too much of a stretch to speculate that Eothas doesn't approve of what Thaos has set up and is actively working to undo the whole system.

AndreaColombo Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So, someone didn't get the memo on the counter and spilled the beans early: https://gameup24.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/obsidian-announces-pillars-of-eternity-2/ Looks like our guess for Deadfire was right all along. Also, Boeroer companion confirmed. 5 "Time is not your enemy. Forever is." — Fall-From-Grace, Planescape: Torment "It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most.
