So I imported a character, who had sacrificed a companion to the Skaen blood pool and used the Machine to buff himself, but I see neither effect carried over to PoE II. Is this a bug or do evil characters get the shaft (again)?

Josh implied that you might regain some benefit from these talents at some point during Deadfire, though I have yet to confirm that.

I think you will recover those talents later through the game...

Ugh. Wonderful. Totally worth it.

I didn't know that so I imported save with different talents because of more roleplay aproach in this particular save in PoE xD Too bad. Evoker could greatly benefit from Gift from the machine and Merciless hand and other.

Protagonist should have cruel personality at the beginning, if he sacrificed a companion at blood pool.

Yes, I noticed that. Not exaclty worth it though.

 

You're a monster.

Come on, Maneha was garbage anyway.

^ Hah! I too sacrificed Manhea XD

We do not sacrifice people to blood pools!

It solved her personal quest. Arguably it was the kind thing to do.

A free +1 to Might in exchange for getting rid of an annoying character? Yes, please. Plus, I was already the Barbarian in the group anyway. She was redundant.

We do as we please. Besides, I was role-playing a survival of the fittest kind of character, who was looking to improve himself in any way possible.

I can confirm you do regain the perk later on. Regained mine, from sacrificing.. yes, you guessed it! Maneha.

Cool, can you spoiler me? Is it from a side quest or does it happen during the main story?

This is cool, what about other ones like the one you get for sharing knowledge with Llengrath?

Devil of Caroc is the ideal candidate for the pool because she's unhappy and will die anyway no matter what you do... (also she gives the best bonus... :dancing: )

(also she gives the best bonus... :dancing: )

Well, that depends on character builds, doesn't it?

+1 penetration I think it's good for every build.  :)

I’m gonna need spoilers on when these bonuses are gained back and how they translate from PoE to Deadfire #buildplanning

Ok, here you go, spoiler where you regain it, high level description:

Main story quest 3

After you talk with Queen for the first time (so quest after leaving port Maje)  you get sent to a location with second pillar (that would make it 3rd main quest). Reach the pillar there and have a second chat with Eothas.

I have tested this and didn't have a cruel reputation at the beginning, at least no points visible in the reputation menu and no defense drop for Faith and Conviction on my paladin who disfavors cruel behavior.

Yes, an overlook perhaps, 1 cruel reputation is needed to sacrifice a companion in POE1.
