Man now I wanna know what Tekehu's quest is. Also just from carting Tekehu and Maia around, while I think most of the relevant conversations fired, they eventually literally hugged it out which I feel this was a bit early for. I haven't even left Neketaka. Though I have done like almost everything I can here besides the Sepulcher.

Got Pallegina, did her initial level ups, closed the menu and tried to take a step. Xoti and her immediately blew up into a "it's her or me" standoff. I find it hard to believe relations are intended to progress quite that quickly. Positively, I really liked how Eder commented that while I was a Rude Dude (Cruelty 4), he respected that I was in general channeling it toward good deeds. Nice accounting for rep vs. results, props. Got a fair amount of Berath Bux and am going to cool my jets until the import fix. Really looking forward to a serious playthrough.

So I just had a principi / valian / huana sidequest where I went out and completely destroyed a slaver colony despite the protests of one and a half of these groups and none of my companions remarked on it, even a little. That seems... Odd. Rope kid is this a bug or intentional.

I made a level 1 character just to see what my Berath's Blessing would buy me now that I have 31 Berath points. Ok then. Thanks, freaky lady/dwarf, that's not bad. It's not enough to restart but I've been kind of annoyed by some of my skill/stat choices on my main -- and the druid starting skills in general -- so I think I'm just going to cheat engine the poo poo out of this, plus give me back the skill buffs I bought in Neketaka that respeccing ate up. E: I could have even more starting skills, if I'd picked a better background. Artist or Mystic would have two skills more. You can probably minmax classes better but I wanted a War Caller so I made a War Caller. Xerophyte fucked around with this message at 08:03 on May 11, 2018 |

Inverness posted:Any thoughts on multiclassing Serafen as barbarian and cipher? It really didn't gel in my experience. Frenzy didn't really contribute to the spells and I felt each class' playstyles were sufficiently contradictory to each other (or oversimilar in a few cases) that combining the two never felt like a superior alternative to specializing in one. My personal opinion, of course, but I'll just have him be a pure cypher on my restart. Buck Wildman fucked around with this message at 08:15 on May 11, 2018 |

Holy cow the far southwest island is bonkers. Since it's so close to Maje I don't know if everyone finds it early but it had the craziest tomb I've seen so far. It had like 50 traps and ended with a pretty DnD puzzle. Then the west part of the island has an amazing little event where you meet another adventuring party and swap stories while camping (if you didn't murder them like a lunatic). That island was great.

Found my guy, they did about as well as they could making my concept serviceable (my original idea was an ascetic fallen Paladin drinking seawater to hallucinate), but he’s still a lil corny I think. What I loved was that he was given my item, and the dialogue suggests the story of the item isn’t actually over, and that he’s part of it.

The AI behavior editor doesn't allow me to select the takedown ability of Maia's bird. This even though the default cautions ranger behavior has them configured. This is the only ability it has currently.

Need some quest related help here: Principi - Symbols of Death I've gone to Neketaka and talked to the folks at the temple; they sent me into the catacombs below to find the tomb but the door that I need to open requires the names of both skeletons guarding it. I found the one on the left (Borthwn), but I have no idea where I can find the name of the one on the right. Help!

Managed to play for a few hours today. The difference in the quality of the combat between this and the first game is staggering! It feels like every aspect of the gameplay has seen a major improvement. I'm playing a transcendent as a sort of practice run to get achievements for Berath's blessing and I'm shocked there are people who aren't impressed with soul blade. Soul annihilation means you deal more than double damage every other hit! Maybe it gets less bonkers later because of scaling, but since it scales with your focus, which scales with your melee damage, it will always represent a massive damage boost on any melee character, particularly those that use single weapons or two handers. And you get soul whip and some cipher powers as a bonus. It's making me really question playing a wanderer, even though if I'm doing my math right, each point of accuracy gives a massive damage boost to a high level monk, and ranger has by far the most accuracy of any class, not to mention the animal companion.

So guys have any of you discovered the consequence of siding with different gods in Pillars 1 ending? I sided with Rymgrand or whtever his name was and have yet to see any consequence. I also sacrificed a companion to blood pool but the effect did not carry over, is this just an import bug?

Pure monk is genuinely better because of how good some of those abilities you get sooner are. Or barb monk for the ridiculous criticals. Ridiculous criticals.

Judging by the ones I've seen, they're all probably really minor. Galawain gives Dyrwoodan companions (Eder) +5 health, Hylea gets you some special food on the beach, and Berath gets you an AoE heal/damage consumable right after you wake up.

My one big complaint - and it is a big one - is that because the save transfer / world pregen stuff is so shaky, it's really hard to tell what we're supposed to see and what we aren't as far as reactivity goes. Maybe there's nothing that's SUPPOSED to react to that. Maybe there is, and it bugged out. How do we even report that? Heithinn Grasida posted:Managed to play for a few hours today. The difference in the quality of the combat between this and the first game is staggering! It feels like every aspect of the gameplay has seen a major improvement. As was mentioned before, Cipher/Monk was probably amazing in the beta, before we knew of those high level powers. And now we know of those high level powers, and they are absolutely incredible. I'm not sure any monk multiclass can be as good as pure class monk. Also the thing with Soul Annihilation is that your weapon attack doesn't...actually matter that much. Like, it's literally just a standard attack with your primary weapon that, if it hits, has a ton of raw damage based on your focus dumped on top at the end. That means Soul Annihilation is more or less just as good with any weapon, since it's basically just an auto-attack hit. This is different from most other abilities that apply lashes or percentage changes to your actual weapon attack, meaning the stronger your weapon, the bigger the boost to them (which is why sabers reign supreme as far as base weapons go for dual wielding). Soul Annihilation doesn't actually use your weapon stats in the slightest, outside of "make an attack." I've started leaving monk (and DEFINITELY cipher) behind and instead glancing at barbarian for good melee multiclass. I think Barbarian (Berserker sorta), Fighter (Devoted), and Paladin (Bleak Walker/Goldpact to a lesser degree) as your big melee multiclass multipliers - they have a mix of incredible passives/buffs and powerful active abilities right from the start and can be added to almost any character concept that wants to murder in melee. The "sorta" for berserker is there because it assumes you have a way to deal with it's Confusion, although to be frank it's still plenty awesome without that, just a little more dangerous.

I'm up to 6th level wizard spells and the class is really doing great now. The spell that turns people into pigs (basically baleful polymorph from dnd) is super effective. Gaze of the Adragon or whatever the spell that petrifies people is nice and the chain lightning spell is big damage and party friendly. I noticed though that when you polymorph an enemy they don't run away like the spell implies they would (the pig form gets a big speed increase) and instead just stand there to let you kill them.

Does anyone know any console commands to reduce disposition points. It is really boinked in the game. I dont care about achievements. I just want to remove the +1 diplomatic and benelovant from my bleak walker. I tried the old console commands of pillars 1 but they are not working.

Like relationships are so it's clearly not some weird engine thing, but I don't know what it means for someone to have a disposition of being Cruel and Benevolent, y'know? Unless there are dialogue options that are basically "oh god I don't know what to expect from you"

OoohU posted:Does this game still run at 30-40 fps and suffer from micro stutters on top end systems like the first game? Kinda for me. FPS is variable between 20-60 FPS, trending around 50-60, most drops during ship boarding actions or heavy weather. Micro stutters come up occasionally but they're fixed with a quick reboot of the game. I think the difference between this and PoE1 is that the framerate drops feel like they're justified more - the visuals are quite pretty and the physics are satisfying. I think PoE looks decent throughout and stunning at times (especially with a good Reshade), but Deadfire is consistently stunning. Could it be optimized more? Probably, but they've come a long way since the first beta builds. Savy Saracen salad posted:Does anyone know any console commands to reduce disposition points. It is really boinked in the game.

Presuming folks choose the decisions they feel are best and not for powergaming purposes, I think it decently reflects how someone can be complicated (or uncomplicated).
