bismarck26 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I love the physical strategy guide for PoE with its art and background info, etc. I haven’t found any information about them doing something similar for Deadfire, does anyone have more info about this? Or do we expect to see something like it closer to release? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan88 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I hope the same thing...the first guide is a masterpiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexGames Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is it the "Guidebook" you're talking about ? If so, Volume II is indeed part of the Collector's Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Quite sure they mean the strategy guide with a proper game walkthrough, whilst the guidebook is centered around art and lore. Don't think theres any info out about it, to my knowledge anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dog_days Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Someone asked back during the Fig campaign and they said they had no current plans for one. I don't blame them. Despite the POE strategy guide being the handsomest strat-guide I've seen in about twenty years, the Internet will make its own complete guide within a week of its release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedthefreak Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Someone asked back during the Fig campaign and they said they had no current plans for one. I don't blame them. Despite the POE strategy guide being the handsomest strat-guide I've seen in about twenty years, the Internet will make its own complete guide within a week of its release. That's literally never stopped any publisher from pumping out tons of strategy guides for all the major releases. I have a collection of hard cover guides, many folks like to collect them, so if they don't make one it would only be because the previous one didn't sell well and they don't want to take a risk on a second one. The first one is gorgeous, though, and I'd love to have the follow-up right next to it on my shelf. We still have plenty of time for a listing to show up for one though, I'd wager we will indeed get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck26 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 I’m hoping we do, the first one is one of the prettier guides I own and I also like to collect the hardcover guides. I know most, if not all of the info in it will make it online, but I still like the physical copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 For what it's worth, I'd pay 30-40 dollars for a hardcover strategy guide. I absolutely love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra Moon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Eh, if they do make one I'm hoping for a nice indexed and bookmarked PDF, much easier to use then anything physical, easier to store, and no risk of papercuts or damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelee Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 For what it's worth, I'd pay 30-40 dollars for a hardcover strategy guide. I absolutely love them. Problem was that the strat guide for PoE1 had sections that were really poor quality. Lots of typos, errors (probably because the game changed in between strat guide write-up and game launch), mislabeled maps, etc. Beyond that it also only took a few patches for some of the sections (character-building ones) to become really obsolete. I still used it a bit, but I empathize if they wouldn't invest in another personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattyblue Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I would buy either a digital or a paper strategy guide if it would focus on mechanics like combat, skills, abilities, and those things and less on a walk through. It would be nice to read about Deadfire even when I could not play Deadfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmarSlobberknocker Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I came to the table too late for one of the PoE1 strategy guides and I refuse to pay $200 on eBay for one. I really hope they make a physical strategy guide for PoE2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they make a physical strategy guide for PoE2.Yeah, about that.... I can't see anyone being stupid enough to pay that much but hey, it's not my money and someone will probably buy it lol Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone!

Urthor Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Ordered the book, yeah no news sucks a bit. Not getting the book on release is going to be sadface.gif, you definitely expect within one month of release for these things but no news is bad news. Like if you are going to offer it surely you should at least disclose when the strategy guide is in fact coming. Prima manages to get their guides out pretty on date to start with, I thought the deal was that these guidebooks are outsourced then 1 bloke comes in and hangs out with the Q/A department and writes the thing.

syphonhail Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I don't see anything from Prima on a new guide being made. Its a shame since the last guide was so beautiful. Maybe they will release one with the console version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Rohk Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'd love a Deadfire one to go with my CE PoE1 too! You read my post. You have been eaten by a grue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarevok26 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I found out they created a CE guide for PoE1 about a year after the release and I was disappointed that I didn't know they made one but decided to get one soon as possible to avoid price increase. Definitely want a CE guide for PoE2 as well... very gorgeous item to the collection that I enjoyed reading through. Eagle eyes on this one... there's no way they will say no to creating a 2nd masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
