Tyranny is free for 3 days and it and its expansions are on sale on steam, if anyone has a hankering for a more cynical and weirder Pillars engine RPG. I'd probably feel happier about this if I didn't buy the expansions 2 days ago and start a new character yesterday, but them's the breaks. At least I finally made the right choice of playing a caster and mustered the enthusiasm to get past act 1.

That was a pretty cool event. The one where you address your crew for the first time and tell them what kind of a captain you are and what you plan to do with your freshly repaired ship. Too bad it fired 56 hours into my playthrough...

Trip report so far on Ranger/Priest (Ghostwalker/Eothas): Actually not bad. The pet summons really quickly, so you just summon it, cast a buff, and then shoot or cast more as needed. The pet is useful added dps and helps keep things off you so that you can get off your long cast spells more easily. I could see a Stalker/Priest working decently if you focused on melee weapons. Go like Berath, summon the great sword + buff, then beat on poo poo with your pet. Ginette Reno fucked around with this message at 00:52 on May 25, 2018 |

frajaq posted:"Another feature that the team is really excited about is what we are calling "Magran's Fires". Similar to Berath's Blessings, these modes can be enabled from the main menu and will add gameplay modifiers for challenges above and beyond Path of the Damned. In addition to the returning Triple Crown and Triple Crown Solo challenges, we will be rolling out challenges themed to Eora's gods, beginning with Berath, Galawain, and, of course, Magran. As always, we are listening to feedback on what you would like to see in future updates." GrandpaPants posted:Having the challenge mode options be based on how different gods would gently caress you would be interesting from a flavor perspective. Rymrgand's curse could prevent in-combat ressing and reduce healing, Skaen's can weigh negative companion much more than positive ones and lower crew morale a lot quicker, etc.

Man, I have been killing poo poo with triple digit damage without empowering. I shudder to think what I would do if I did. What happens when you empower rage? Do you make it last longer or are effects enhanced, from the buffs to the damage you get when activating Spirit Storm?

So Veteran/POTD difficulty is supposed to be fixed in the big June patch. Dunno if I should hold off on continuing my file or just keep going.

quote:"The development team is also hard at work on updating Pillars 2 with the next update bringing a host of improvements and features, like the ability to change the player character’s appearance at any time," reads a statement. "[This] will be released alongside the next free DLC, the Beard and Hair Pack, early next month." More appearance options coming. Interesting to see a appearance editor in the middle of the game (I hacked together some crap in cheat engine in order to change my hair and hair color)

What's the level recommendation for White March 2 again? I forgot how nasty this stuff is. The Radiant Spore boss basically instantly kills a party member per attack. Those stupid tendrils do like 70 damage per attack.

DoubleDonut posted:Fun fact: Eder can die during the fight on the ship at the very start of the game, and he does not show up on the beach, nor does the Steward mention him at all. It seems pretty unlikely but it's pretty funny to me that someone could, presumably, not realize that Eder is supposed to be a permanent party member. Actually if you solo POE1 and never meet/dump Eder or Aloth they just aren't there. Which makes sense, the game can't tell the difference between a solo game and dead/unmet companions.

also if you don't meet Pallegina in PoE 1 is she available in PoE 2? Unlike Eder/Aloth it does make sense for her to be in Deadfire even if the watcher never met her

In PoE1 she either wouldn't have gotten access to Twin Elms, or she would have failed her mission until you intervened. Your intervention has her continuing working for the Republics (i think?) as like an ambassador or she's been working as a guard or whatever for a few years.

From what I read and I could be wrong, Everything bad is the only way to get fragments of both the Blade of the Endless Path and Whispers of Yenwood. You can then ask the blacksmith to combine the swords to make Whispers of the Endless Path, a greatsword that cleaves on hit in a cone.

Created legacies are bugged in general wrt the shards of the Blade of the Endless Paths. It works just fine for imports right now. It's not an intentional situation.

My party keeps dying instantly. If they drop, any quests they have fail, and their portrait disappears. Details, about when/where it started but they're spoilered because: This started after going to Magran's temple place that eothas asks you to meet him at. At first I thought it was a really stupid gimmick specifically for the turbo-men in the dungeon, but i recently lost half my party and had to reload during a pirate raid. What the gently caress is going on? Did I get bugged? I made a new character and it's no longer doing this.

I've been suffering needlessly to the point I rerolled over this problem. Why yes, yes I did equip a pet. Now to decide to reroll, or stick with my new game. I rather enjoy my Ghost Heart ranger over my ghost heart/cipher overall not sure i'm a very big fan of multiclassing in general.

I had something similar happen to me after I equipped the ring you get from doing Pallegina's quest. I think it gives death godlikes a 10% chance to insta-kill kith, so I was accidentally chunking 1 or 2 party members with my berserker's carnage every fight. It ruled.

You can then ask the blacksmith to combine the swords to make Whispers of the Endless Path, a greatsword that cleaves on hit in a cone. I imported my save (I got both of them in the save) and used that greatsword on my paladin/wizard. It's actually pretty great because it takes the cone into account when hitting dudes, so it can be swung from behind a frontliner like a pike or quarterstaff.

Well beat it with my Wizard/Priest. Never did finish Aloth's quest because I didn't know where to go. I left the northwest/southeast of the map unexplored and only did Rauatai quests for the most part. Combat was auto pilot for a while. Looking forward to giving it another full run once the balance patch hits. No idea what class yet.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:I really really want to see what happens with the "everything bad" preset So far the only noticeable thing is the gods loving you in various creative ways. Berath in particular was pretty neat. If you want to metagame, spoilers. the stat boost blessing will negate most of Beraths temporary curse, sell all your scrolls before talking to Eothas a second time. You can immediately unequip Hyleas bird poo poo sails/hull. I will say there's a noticeable amount of minor characters alive which seems odd to me. Having the Blade of Endless Paths fragments also feels off. It's not as bleak as the subtext makes it out to be. Unless you need Eder/Aloth/Pallagina I guess.
