Curious about Pillar of Eternity II funding goal 4.5 Million Ship Crew managing

[andreicde]

I was looking at the funding and I noticed that it said it was the next stretch goal but the total was over 4.5  . Does that mean Pillar of Eternity II will have managing a crew or not? Just curious

Counting slacker backer pledges the total funds gathered before features got locked in were:

$4,705,524

 

All stretchgoals we’re reach apart sea monsters&fishing and 8th companions.

 

Yes, crew management will be in the game.

Oh neat! Thanks

But from the feedback I've read on here it sounds like a complete hassle.

<shrug> I think it looks quite promising.

The crew management bit is the best part of the ship minigame as it currently stands. IMO, obviously.

I find it strange that this game as a rpg will have shipcrew management as a side game.

Floggings will continue until morale improves...

Define a "sidegame". Ship is your primary source of transportation and you are the captain. Unlike Gwent or pod racing&Pazak it makes perfect sense considering the setting.

Hey, you never know what kind of kinks the crew may be into.

I don't think it's strange at all. This game is from Obsidian, which has Chris Avellone as a shareholder (or however it's called these days) and Chris Avellone did writing for a game called FTL (Advanced Edition). Coincidence? I think not!

 

And this ship/crew management stuff is straight out of FTL.

I am really looking forward to crew management. I have a feeling I will spend a great deal of time trying to improve my crew and ship and hope the tools are there for me to do it, which I expect they will be. My one big wish would be to allow a proficiency slot be spent to make companions into crew, but that seems unlikely at this point.
