Archaven Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Now that Obsidian forcefully take away 1 party character, i think Ranger companions or Party Summons play an important role for the 6th slot. I'm not sure if this were asked before. I like to see ranger companions and other character summons plays an more important role and offer more customization, leveling and progression. Choose a bear companion for more tankiness? Or choose a sabretooth for more DPS? Also besides ranger, i like some other classes maybe Wizards? To have it's own familliar, constructs or even summon? Having a Nymph or a Faery as a semi-permanent companion? Like summon Nymph/Faery once per encounter/rest. These summons or companions would have their own HP, defense, resist, abilities, spells and talents? That would be great. Perhaps these were discussed. If so my apologies. Ps. I can't see myself not taking a Ranger or having any of the party members to not multi-class as one in Deadfire.

Heijoushin Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 What you described for rangers already exists in PoE1. Apart from Maia's bird, I don't think we're getting anything new there. Now, I would absolutely love the option to create a summons based wizard, but apparently this is not to be. Even in the old infinite engine games, summoning was limited... *sigh*. I'm down for a nymph companion. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) How about a succubus summon? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedrefilos Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Obsidian forcefully take away 1 party character Lol? Anyway, as it has been discussed numerous times before, Deadfire isn't gonna be just Pillars 1 with 5 characters; it's gonna be designrd AROUND 5 characters so we can't know how more important summons gonna be compared to the 1st game; not untill we actually play it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I would like it if we could select separate talents for our Ranger companions every few levels, as well as give them a limited set of equipment. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

MortyTheGobbo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Whinging about smaller party size aside, I'm definitely down for more customization of the ranger's pet. In Pillars, we just pick its type, and then there's a few abilities and talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedrefilos Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Rangers gonna have sub-classes. One's gonna be focusing travelling without a pet; we can assume one will focus more on the pet? Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a melee ranger with druid-like spiritshift ability that matches their companion? So a bear:bear, boar:boar, antelope:stag, wolf:wolf, or cat:lion.

As I understand it, a summons-based chanter is one of the subclasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
