Are we guaranteed an expansion or more? I haven't looked at the stretch goals for the campaign, other than we aren't going to get fishing, god damnit.

Ginette Reno posted:People really didn't like the stronghold? You can build all of it without even being there, and the quests are a clever way to keep companions on the sidelines leveled up and still contributing to the group. It's so low effort on the player's part to get great value out of it. My beef was mainly that it was designed around notions of a balanced economy, as though such a thing were actually possible in an open world game. So you end up getting progressively more rich as you sell off your billions of xuarip kits, while the stronghold is designed to only net you slightly more resources than what it required be put in. They were pretty open about how they made the stronghold unappealing in order to assuage the fears of players who wouldn't want to gently caress with it. The best way to make a mechanic something capable of being ignored, when you can't outright cut it, is to make it pointless.

Yeah I played on release and was a backer but I can't remember what the release version of the keep was like beyond that it had the Endless Paths. Tbh I like it well enough though. It's not the coolest thing but mechanically I enjoy getting my companions xp and loot rewards while I'm off doing my own thing, and the Battle of Yenwood + Endless Paths are fun. I also like how low maintenance it is. Skyhold in DA:I is cool but god sometimes it's exhausting playing that game between talking to the hundred npcs there, doing the judgments, etc. Maybe I'm just a lazy gamer but occasionally I appreciate the low maintenance route to things.

An early draft of the plot was going to involve a climactic battle at the keep, according to one interview the head writer did. I hope Pillars 2 will have a nice meaty ship battle at the end

Are you saying you think Josh is a bit up himself? Just finished my definitive play through of the first game, got all the ending slides I was going for, biggest thing I'm not sure about is I feel I screwed up a bit in my conversation with Iovara near the end. Even though it wasn't 100% "perfect" for every little side quest and task - I don't think the import/decisions will be that precise. Finally got the Explorer achievement to trigger too!

Chairchucker posted:3 x DLC Makes sense. Instead of one big DLC zone split into two pieces, they can add a new set of islands/stories in each DLC. One DLC is the haunted spooky island of the ghost pirates One is the lands where Sagani lives etc CottonWolf posted:rope kid on companion multiclassing options: Gonna have to look at the final high level talents, but I'm very in favor of rogue subclasses. Specifically if you have multiple in the party. Like all your melee guys. Very good positioning/disengagement, and they synergize extremely well. If you have your main melee guys with rogue subs and you pay any attention to positioning at all to set up a tag team thing then they both get +50% damage passively to pretty much every attack they'll ever make. I think high level abilities will have a hard time competing with that to be honest, as it's pretty much going to be working for from level 1 to the end of the game.

On the Obsidian forums, I've been making the argument for multiclassing to rogue on tanks even if it's your only rogue. Escape gives great manuverablilty for blocking enemies moving to squishies once the battle lines have solidified, and both reposte and persistant distraction synergise really well with high deflection/high engagement builds. Basically non-specific tank/Streetfighter seems univerally great, if you've got the AR/deflection/healing to ignore/avoid/take the hits.

Great Maelstrom is an actual level 9 spell in Deadfire, so good guess. Though Charge is apparently a single-class only ability as well, so I don't know if I really want to multi a Fighter.

I'm completely out of the loop. Is there a 'primary source' for information from the beta? In particular, I'm curious about fancy clothing. I have good and evil runs. In PoE, my evil PC wears heavily augmented Vailian clothing because he fancy. What are his options in PoEII?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Yeah, we'll have to see the capstones, but my instincts are telling me "dual your melee, single your casters." I'm prepping a Priest of Eothas for import. It's pretty fun so far. Priests are probably the best class in Poe1. They nuke for crazy damage, heal really well, and a main char Priest also gets an absolutely ridiculous holy radiance. For comparison I'm level 6 right now and my Holy Radiance does 100 damage over 3 seconds to vessels. I think Durance's does something like 50-60. With the Bartender Ring as well Vessels just get dropped by my Priest. And of course their buffs are second to none. I don't know that I'd ever even use the new game options for Poe2 tbh. I really enjoy Poe1 so it doesn't bother me to play through it again. But I'm the type of crazy person who just finished a full series playthrough of Dragon Age and has done numerous full series Baldur's Gate runs so yeah. I'm undecided yet on if I'll multi-class the Priest. I haven't done the beta at all so I have no idea the worthiness of doing so. I'll probably just wing it on my first playthrough like I usually do.

I've always been so bad at multiclassing. I can never decide what would go well together, instead of purely focusing on one class to get it as best as it can get. POE2 is going to be hard on me just from creating character builds alone.
