Gary1986 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 How will this quest affect the main character in POE2:Deadfire? What will the talent ''Gift From The Machine'' do in POE2:Deadfire? We know maybe we will still have it, but it will work differently apparently (Ive heard this mentioned a few times online). How differently though? If its ends up being a talent that is something like ''+20 defence when struck, hobbled, etc'' It wouldnt be as exciting right? Also there must be a bonus in POE2:Deadfire for blowing up the machine in POE1 (the good ending route for Heritage Hill) and in-turn missing out on the talent, otherwise everybody would just go down the ''bad ending route for Heritage Hill'' and get the ''Gift From The Machine'' talent. Reason im asking this is because im slowly working my way through POE1 again, and i want to make this run my final run so im ready for POE2:Deadfire. Im now at the quest Undying Heritage, and im unsure what to do considering it could have an effect on POE2:Deadfire. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexGames Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Only thing we know is that these unique buffs will carry over Deadfire in one form or another. But that's it, nobody will know until release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Also there must be a bonus in POE2:Deadfire for blowing up the machine in POE1 (the good ending route for Heritage Hill) and in-turn missing out on the talent, otherwise everybody would just go down the ''bad ending route for Heritage Hill'' and get the ''Gift From The Machine'' talent. Why should it? You are either greedy or selfless. Rewarding player with something just as good, or better when folowing selfess path defeats the purpose. Bioshock messed that up badly. Someone on stream asked Josh for good paths to be balanced as far as rewards are concerned, and he said that if you are greedy you get more stuff - that's the point. Do what your character would do. That's what choices are for. I doubt state of Heritage Hill will impact Deadfire much, maybe a different line here and there. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna be a goody two shoes loser like me, well you better do the right thing and not take the stuff. Even if that stuff is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxQuest Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Reason im asking this is because im slowly working my way through POE1 again, and i want to make this run my final run so im ready for POE2:Deadfire. Im now at the quest Undying Heritage, and im unsure what to do considering it could have an effect on POE2:Deadfire.On first run: I stopped the machine, with the intention to comeback later (probably with some captured leaden key agent), learn it's secrets and after that safely destroy it. Was quite dissapointed that it's not an option. It's not even posible to tell lady webb/duke/guards/or whoever responsive, to continue keeping the quarantine and disallow settling at least untill the machine isn't demolished) So on subsequent runs (and relying on meta knowledge): I was desotrying the machine; and adding "Gift of the Machine" via console. Wonder how it will carry to Deadfire now Edited February 9, 2018 by MaxQuest 1 PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules PoE2 useful stuff: community patch, attack speed mechanics, enemy AR and defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedrefilos Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Why so many people assume non-developers would know anything about transfered choices? Did they ask Josh and he pointed them here to get his revenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
