The animations are real nice - clear and well-timed without being weightless or overly exaggerated. There's some velocity and drama in the attack animations. Gamebryo games don't have such good anims and physics.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if Berath's challenge still permanently kills non-controlled party members if they go down during boarding battles? When I played a couple of months ago you'd just lose half your benched party members during boardings and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it. It made ship-to-ship combat the only possible option and had the knock on effect of being a huge tax between less money for loot, and more money on ship upgrades.

Are there any places that I want to bring the sidekicks to besides the obvious places like the DLCs? I hear Rekke has a few interactions? I'm mostly rolling with my boy Eder, Aloth, and Serafen. I'll obviously bring Tekehu along for shadow under neketaka, etc. but I just wanna make sure I ain't missing other obvious stuff like that.

Ydwin has, I think, some lines in the Reef where there's a bunch of undead. Overall, though, the DLC is your best bet for sidekick interaction.

The only staple in my party is Eder because who else is gonna comment on cute animals? Everyone else will hopefully have some time to shine without it impacting the overall exp gain too much. Shame Mirke doesn't have anything.

The Tyranny thread seems dead so I thought I'd ask here: any tips for starting out? I'm doing an unarmed/frost magic character right now since the frozen debuff seems to mesh well with unarmed.

it's been a long time since i played it, but i beat it on POTD with an unarmed character. It's honestly pretty easy. The basic tip I remember is: no matter what else you want any given character to do, pump the magic skill (i think it's lore?) every level because everybody can cast spells and you want everybody to be good at it. Unarmed is really good because it can proc certain on-hit effects really quickly. The one you really want to keep an eye out for is "volcanic weapon" (shows up maybe halfway through the game i think); when you get it, experiment with it but make the strongest version of it you can and have your best spellcaster drop it on your PC at the start of every fight and watch as they belch out huge AOE every time they land a punch. Edit: story mild spoilers: I found the two main factions to be equally gross and didn't want to work for either of them. There is an obvious path you can take where you tell them both to get bent in act 1, but a less obvious path also exists where you can work with the rebels instead and I recommend you look up how to do it if that's something you don't want to miss. andrew smash fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Dec 10, 2018 |

I'm doing an unarmed/frost magic character right now since the frozen debuff seems to mesh well with unarmed. Some random tips. PotD difficulty is only really difficult around act 1. This means you shouldn't stockpile consumables for the future, use them now and use them often. Look up a trait that allows you only use Parry (or was it Dodge) for both ranged and melee. Decide if you want to grab it and, if yes, turn off skill progression for the other skill. Everyone is a caster even if they don't look like a caster. Bad caster with a low skill for a spell will randomly hit or miss. But buffs and heals - I guess they never miss, huh? And the effect is percentage-based. So even that beastwoman will be useful as a healer. Get everyone a heal spell and use it. Initiate combat on your terms. You can usually spot enemies from far away and 2 of your starting characters (Verse and Lantry) have ranged attack. You can teach Barrick something too, maybe slow or stun to make the first few seconds of a fight more manageable.

I don't know how Obsidian could work on the IP these days that they're owned by Microsoft (well, technically paperwork is still being compiled, but I doubt they can start a project with another publisher now), so unless Microsoft buys the IP, I'm guessing Paradox will have to develop a new Tyranny with another partner or internally (Harebrained Schemes is probably their best-suited studio, given their Shadowrun pedigree). I'd be a little bummed if a Tyranny sequel was developed by a different team, but if the team had a proven track record, I'd be very willing to give it a shot.

So far, I've been spoiled by Deadfire. The ai is garbage in Tyranny and I don't know how to turn it off. Edit: actually I'm pretty sure the ai is worse than pillars one. At least I don't remember Eder overriding my input to use knockdown and electing to instead tank 3 disengagement attacks to perform a single basic melee strike on a full health enemy 10 meters away.

So I think like a month before Pillars 2 came out I made a post here talking how I was going to replay the game to game to get a perfect playthrough for pillars 2. Well all this time later and I've still not finished it and at this point I'm ready to give up. Are there any choices in Pillars 1 that carry over to Pillars 2 that are not in the choice maker. Even if it's the most minor of things.

Is there a timeline somewhere that shows the main story-related events in poe1 took place? Like how long before the saints war was the inquisition? The one on the wiki seems to be much broader in scope.

I generally assume the in-game calendar(PoE1 takes place in the year 2823) is roughly as old as the gods themselves, though Deadfire has a few lines that bring the creation of the gods closer to the Christian Chlassic of two thousand years ago. The Inquisition was right after the creation of tje gods, since Iovara mentions talking with actual Engwithan missionaries

Oh yeah, that makes sense. It was weird to have a character suddenly talking about Engwithans walking around in the world when they were previously an ancient precursor race. I guess that was the hint.

The official wiki for Pillars has a timeline, btw (obviously it includes spoilers, but if you're looking for something like this, you probably don't care): https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Timeline EDIT: Actually, now that I notice, the creation of the Gods is conspicuously absent, probably because the timeline given in game is vague, or maybe because they wanted to avoid spoilers for new players.

Anni Iroccio: The New Year While only 150 years old (and of Vailian origin as well), the Iroccian calendar is currently used throughout most of the Dyrwood and the surrounding areas. While the Dyrwood was using the Aedyran calendar until recently, they gave it up in favor of the Iroccian calendar. The transition was easy to get people to make because the Aedyran calendar was hopelessly inaccurate. Iroccio calculated that it takes the planet approximately 334 days to orbit the sun, so he took the nine months from the Aedyran calendar and broke them into sixteen months of twenty days each, with each season consisting of four months. The length of each month corresponds to how long it takes Belafa (one of our moons) to circle the planet. At the end of each season, three days - not part of either season - are set aside for people to celebrate the transitions. Lastly, the final two days of the year - New Year and Mid Year - are used to observe the beginning and midpoint of the year. To prevent any confusion for the transition from the old calendar to the new, Iroccio kept the year the same. So, although the calendar has only been in existence for 150 years, it is currently 2823 AI (Anni Iroccio).
