How do you name uncharted islands? I can't figure it out in the UI, or maybe I haven't hit an uncharted island? Anyone have a video of this?

Uncharted doesn't mean uninhabited. You have to make history forget the native name of the land.

Ok, Xoti discussion. I have no idea if giving the souls to the animancers or the Adra is a good idea or not. I convinced her not to keep them, though, since that seems like a really bad plan.

They're specific islands where a prompt will come up after you clear them out. They're all tied to the cartographer quest in the main city but you can do them whenever.

you get the quest from the cartographer in queens berth then go explore the islands in the area he tells you to. you then do the short dungeon these islands have and when you leave it you'll get a popup asking you what you want to name the island

Absolutely yes, although blunderbuss has been changed/nerfed (notably, fewer projectiles and way shorter range).

So the Duskfall sword that you get from the feuding Valian families is bugged. It is supposed to give you 30 attack for the opening move of a fight but somehow it now is apples to my character permanently even when I use a different weapon

In POE1 I could set MSAA to 0 and that was the only way I could get it to run at a decent clip on my dinosaur laptop. Jaggies ahoy! Doesn't seem to be available in the default graphics options for Deadfire though. Is there some config file I can edit or console command I could use to eke out a bit more performance?

They're a paladin order. They're an option when you select the class at creation.

Thanks, I went back and got the quest and went into a mini-dungeon and got to name an island. Wanted those points for Berath's Blessings.

Of course. Remember that for paladins and priests you get stat bonuses for behaving in a way favored by the order and penalties for doing the opposite, so roleplay may be a little restrictive. I think Goldpact Knights favor rational and stoic. So be prepared to do a lot of polite silence in dialogues.

You generally have to beat the encounters on the island first.

Are the companion quests all tied to main quest progress, or just time spent in the party? Just wondering because I got the icon indicating Maia had something to say, but there were no new dialogue options and I'm worried her quest bugged out. I already did the part where she leaves the party for a few days to assassinate the ranga and now there is nothing related to her in my journal at all. I did the MQ stuff in Hasongo but haven't continued any further.

I'd add that you don't have to BEAT the dungeon/area but you at least have to enter it, and then you should be able to name the island when you go back to the world map.

Think this one's tied to in-game time. She returned to my party after a few days of petering around the islands.

Ya, she already returned and I went through all the dialogue with her and went to see her boss and resolved that. But nothing new has come up since, even though I've gotten the icon indicating she has something to say (twice!) but there is never any new dialogue available.

I've named two islands so far and in both cases the game automatically prompted me to do so after clearing all the dungeons/clickable poo poo on the island.

I'm playing on a 5 year old toaster laptop and the longest loading screen I've seen was like 30 seconds. For loading a screen I've recently been to (going in/out of buildings) it's like 5 seconds. Way better load times than PoE and even Tyranny. I'm really impressed at Obsidian's devotion to toaster gaming.

Ssd makes a big difference.

CRISPY XAURIP (there's a ship name for you).

Man, I think cutting my teeth on Fallout 2 back in '98 must have fixed my standard for "buggy" somewhere in the stratosphere, because I look at stuff like this and it barely registers. Like, we've got what, a bunch of script jank? A little memory leakage? Some weirdness in how modifiers are applied?

I could maybe do without the game hanging if it ever loses focus, though.

MSAA is literally right in the graphics options menu and can be set to zero, 2, or 4.

I did the same with him. He seems a little fragile when surrounded but he hits hard and Cipher abilities are as powerful as they were in Poe1.

Apparently anything with a 'reload time' is broken? Clicking to attack or use an ability while reloading just ends the reload.

Owns.

I've noticed that re-shooting barrels is instant upon clicking. I wonder if that's intentional? If so, is that bit o' code activating inappropriately?
