Hey, since this is now the catch all PoE thread, is there a bug fix for spellbind items not working? I have Bilestompers and Gaun's Pledge equipped on various party members, and if I'm understanding correctly, that should put an extra ability on their bars, right? Except nothing appears, no matter who I equip things on.

Cheston posted:

I thought the Orlan baby was like, some core part of the Twin Elms questline, then I got there and you have to go way out of your way to get roped into these bizarre baby-related plots.

I didn't even finish the quest, it was totally in-character for my Watcher to go "no thank you I do not want to steal a baby or poison a guy."

i am totally stealing that baby for at least one playthrough though

I think it's mostly cause the game actually goes out of it's way to acknowledge it in the end slides, rather than treating it just like a throwaway quest, that makes it stand out that much more. I'm worried that they're just gonna have her die at the beginning of Deadfire, but I feel like Obsidian is capable enough to include her in the story at least a little rather than feeling like they wrote themselves into a corner by letting that end slide exist.

There should be a subquest where you get to the ancient evil and it's past all that and really just wants a beer and to see the sunset again.

That's kinda describes the Adra Dragon, though it gets a little murkier when you consider the possession of an unwilling vessel and all.

Speaking of ranger pets, I'm doing my first ranger playthrough on POE1 and took the boar, who I love more than anything (even my orlan baby) and would willingly die for, but she is just a small, tiny thing. rope kid please give a shoutout to the art team because boars in POE2 are giant mammoth sized hunks of meat and I love them so much. Everyone please take pet boars.

Try unchecking the Dreadfire pack in Steam, wait for it to 'uninstall', then recheck it to install it. Sometimes Steam 'adds' DLC without actually downloading it for some reason.

I had an issue with the merchant not appearing and the only solution I got to work was to restart Steam, hopefully that works if non of the other solutions help.

I'm playing this again, hoo boy.

I've played once without white march, and i've beaten white march twice, and i've fizzled out on white march 2 twice.

Is the temple of ondra more or less the end-level of WM2? Last time i played, i had a few other quests standing out but i went ahead and plunged into the temple, and it was an assbeating i just wasn't in the mood to micro my way through. I'm wondering if finishing WM2 is really very high on my priority list.

Pretty close, there's one more map+dungeon combo after it but it's not as bad (and full of goddamn prone-causing monks :argh:) as the temple.

Article came out a few days ago with a few tidbits

Article posted:

For veterans, there's repercussions from big choices made in the expansive game before it, such as pissing off a certain god leading to your ship (which replaces the original's strongholds) being perpetually pooped on by birds ("What we affectionately call 'The poo poo Ship'")

Hylea PLEASE

Also says the game is fully voiced which I think we knew was an option but is our first outright confirmation? Also Obsidian is telling Deadfire fans to watch their stream tomorrow morning for some big news that everyone has been asking about, so probably more voice acting news if I had to guess.

We'll be streaming about Pillars II, and there'll like as not be some cool stuff that you'll be interested in, and maybe one or two announcements regarding stuff you may or may not have been waiting to hear about.

Not really. I know the subreddit has had lots of buzz about voice acting so most people are assuming it's going to be related to that. Other popular theory is they'll reveal what those mystery codes on their promo images are actually used for.

RPG panel just announced that the entire cast of Critical Role will doing VO in the game, which was probably the big announcement? I mean like half of them were already in POE1 as background characters and we all know Matt Mercer voices literally half your party already.

Weekly livestream where a bunch of voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons. I love it, I'm sure some people hate it, but I'm definitely okay with them doing a bunch of voice acting for Deadfire. Also this pretty much confirms Travis as Tekehu, hell yeah.

With the big ol Critical Role announcement (your mileage may vary on excitement levels), the staff are posting party member quotes and trying to get fans to guess which cast member is voicing them. All it really reveals is that Tekehu, Rekke and Serafen will be voiced by a member of Crit Role, and that Rekke speaks in loving tongues.

"If it untangles me from the guild's apron strings, then you can mount me as the figurehead of your fair ship. Our quarters may smell of fish before long, but your crew will be more beautiful by association, I say." -Tekēhu

"Unrefined? Begging your pardon, captain, but I be the high loving model of the gentleman of fortune!" - Serafen

"Lap pile kiku? Lakaris? Ke zilas tahun?" - Rekke

In more Critical Role/Deadfire news, they've additionally announced more goodies

Basically they're adding portraits of their Vox Machina characters (which was their party name in their first campaign that wrapped up last year), and voice over sets for those characters as well so you can make them as custom party members/your own watcher if you so choose. Basically it's a reference that you can easily avoid while also making a Ton Of Nerds happy. The preorder site crashed as soon as this was announced, so safe to say this was a good partnership for Obsidian.

Also even more 'guess who is voicing this companion quote'

"I'd not experiment upon myself without relative certainty it would be a success." - Ydwin

"Captain, I just wanted to say I enjoy these little moments where we negotiate with things that can eat us." -Maia Rua

rope kid himself joining the 'post a quote on twitter' page, this one seems uh, pretty spoilery.

"You do not need to follow me, for their sake or your own. Something beautiful is coming, something that will save us all." - Eothas
