He says it’s about 15-20 mins of story info when you start a new game, so there will be that, then at least an hour of character creation cause he plans on going through all options for theorycrafters, in case any of y’all wanna plan around that.

I don't think all of the old companions were represented in the legacy. Some of the ones that were were kinda interesting. Devil of Caroc's endings didn't make her seem like she had much of a future

Was almost wondering if there was like an alternate Wael or Skaen route from that. But that's funny too.

Lmao rope kid talked about a gag ending they discussed for New Vegas where you could go home to California through the gate at Mojave Outpost, looks like they finally did it


E: I'm sorry, when you say Chanters can summon a dragon, do you mean a dragon as opposed to a drake? Jeepers H Crackers.

IIRC terrified is much more potent in Deadfire, as in enemies literally poo poo their pants and can't do anything at all

They can't advance towards the caster and can't use any active abilities at all, iirc.

Isn't this what Mental Binding does though? Or did they nerf that spell since it was so ludicrous in POE1?

Yeah mental binding was nerfed into the ground in several different ways. In the most recent beta at least it was six seconds of paralyze for three secodns of cast time and three seconds of recovery, and the effect of paralyze is much less too.
