Favourite Sea Shanty?

[Zap Gun For Hire]

Another Aim'Spirente fun fact!

 

 

Remember how the captain is called Parfitto? Well, guess what captain and what ship will hunt you down if you anger the Vailian Trading Company a little too much?

 

It's a fine three-master thin like a bird...

 

 

 

Question about this very fun fact:

 

 

Did his ship appear on the World Map before you ran into him, or was it a scripted interaction?

 

Still trying to figure out how to spawn these anti-Player ships in a game where I'm in good graces with everyone and I want to know what to be on the lookout for as I muck about with the data files and whether I'm on the right track or not.

Appeared on the world map to the south.

 

He didn't actually hunt me down. He just patrolled that location. I hunted him down. But it made for a better story.

 

I don't think I've tried pissing off the Principi for a ship but the Huana/RDC ships appeared on the map. If you piss off the RDC the way I did you can't even avoid the fight.

Aim Spirente is based on a song of a German band called "Santiano". If you like it, you might like their music in general,

 

Not quite. The Santiano band grabbed hold of a shanty that is at least 150 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santianna

 

Just as "Oktoberklub" made an anti-capitalist song of this traditional. ;-)

Are they all based on other songs because many of them remind me of folk songs I like but then folk melodies are usually used for multiple songs?

They actually are. You find the "real" names of the folk traditionals on this credits page, filed under "sea shanties": http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire/credits

Faithful is the one that got stuck in my head. I've caught myself singing it once or twice without thinking.

 

I think I missed out on a lot of the others though. Do you need to get crew to get certain songs or do you get them all off the bat?

Turned the shanties off before starting the game.

Omg Faithful Sailor is the best song I've heard since I first listened to the Beatles or Catstevens! Faithfull Sailor made me cry!! It is that intense!!!!! Obsidian please dont stop good work like this!!!! Music is half the game and thats also true for movies!!!!

Why would you do this?

Sea shanties are good but the songs Justin Bell has created for PoE1 and 2 are great.

 

"Defiance Bay" song from PoE1 is superb. I've learned to play perfectly "The Black Hound" song from PoE1 with my guitar
