Folie a deux Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 With her not making the cut as a full fledged companion in the base game - what are the chances of her being upgraded from hireling to companion status again as part of the expansion? Would be a shame to let the groundwork already laid out for the character go to waste, innit? Same for the sea monster hunting and fishing stretch goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 From Josh' Frog Helms Fan Club (https://twitter.com/jesawyer): "Olá. If we don’t hit the stretch goal by 5pm PDT today, she will be a sidekick in Deadfire. It would be possible for her (or Rekke, etc.) to become a companion in an expansion, but not in the core game. The new features we’re adding for companions increase the amount of work we need to do per companion by about 50%. We’re fully scheduled for companion writing through the rest of the project just with the core 7." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Also what groundwork? So far we have seen one artwork, and a vague background:-). Poor Ydwin, never hated a character so much before knowing anything about them. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rheingold Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 There is definitely an expansion. You can buy it as an add on already. 6 "Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is Love.'

Sedrefilos Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Eh. I don't want a White March again. I hope they'll go for a sequel-expansion this time. Unless the game needs fixing and th expansion is the fix (like Pillars 1). Though I hope not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a shame to let the groundwork already laid out for the character go to waste, innit? Same for the sea monster hunting and fishing stretch goal. ydwin will die horribly via a scripted event during first melee combat. goth-girl's skirt will become entangled on an oxcart or rose bush or whatever as she attempts to enter the fray, causing her to lose balance and stumble to her knees. recent rains/snows will have resulted in the ground being muddy, and when she final gets back to her feet, and readjusts her glasses, her spectacles will be smeared with all manner o' dampness and dirt. instead o' removing her predictable fouled glasses as she shoulda' done in the first place, ydwin will stumble forward, functional blinded by folly, to be moments later speared through the liver by a xaurip juvenile wielding a fire-sharpened stick and a dragon-sized attitude. thus will end the story o' ydwin. fade to black. everybody cries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mdYPBIuhJY HA!

injurai Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, at least with Rekke he speaks a different languages. He's probably the one I'm most looking forward to becoming a full companion eventually. So he'll have that period where he is picking up the language.

Because she kind of looks like an anime character I guess? As for who, she's one of the 'sidekick' companions (which exists as a way to get around the slightly smaller party size), I'll try to find the Fig update that mentions her. https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire?update=273#updates And yeah, she's Eoras answer to the coroners and investigators in crime dramas, and RL ones.
