PET NEST WITHIN KEEP (REQUEST)

[Yosharian]

 

Pets will be useful in POE2 - they will give you various bonuses like another trinket.

 

That is something I'm not actually excited about. I'm pretty sure I always used one in PoE but I think that pets are silly little things to have a laugh (except Concelhaut's skull maybe :D) and shouldn't be forced on players, good thing that we're gonna be able to hide them.

 

Kind of shame that we have pets bonuses but class trinkets had been cut though.

 

 

Oh yeah?  Well I am excited.  I'm very excited.  So there.

I'm actually starting to consider having a cat follow me about, if i could rename it to Morgana. And it shouted advice from the side of the batllefield.

Why are people so into pets in games?!

 

Never liked it in WoW, don't like it in PoE. This isn't pokemon god dammit, god dammit!

 

As with any feature, I'd like it if I felt like the world and/or characters reacted to it. Like instead of having dozens of different creatures there were just two or three and they kind of became a staple of your keep with all of the companions having a few dialogues and interactions with them or anecdotes about their behaviour. Without that it's just pointless cosmetic fluff.

I'm late to the party, but just adding +1.

 

And if pets really got stats, I repeat what I said for PoE, I hope that's not tied to the creature. I really don't want to have to abandon the pet I want for the bonus rather than using the pet I do want to have around but it might have a really bad boon.

After sending them to the ship, wandering about being able to swap them on the spot from a list as someone suggested here sounds good too.

Josh has said a few times during recent streams that this will indeed be a thing in Deadfire.

 

Ships will have an upgrade item called the "Menagerie" where you can place extra pets.  Those pets will freely roam your ship while you sail around Eora, and you can swap them in and out as desired.

If its cosmetic than it's hardly pointless.
