Where can I get my hands on a Principi flag in Neketaka?
I feel like I should be able to get one in Delver's Row but nobody seems like they have it in their inventory.

For anyone who is even remotely interested in doing side content, do yourself a favor and turn on level scaling before you start your game. I've vastly outlevelled everything around Nehekara and am winning each fight letting the AI handle business on Veteran difficulty.

Game rules though, would be great if there was a way to turn this on after the game has been started?

I got scared by multiclassing and went with my Orlan Cipher. Trying out Ascendant since it seems cool on paper, not really in far enough to notice since I don't really need anything to get past these starting enemies other than Eder's skills and my guns.

I wish it didn't bother me as much as it does that the import AND world state creator are buggered. If it was just one or the other it would be fine, but as is I can't really bring myself to play :negative:

I don't want to get super far in THEN restart, like I know I'm gonna.

Any tips of a powerful cipher build? Do I have to multiclass?

Whisper of Treason is pretty much a one stop shop ability that I imagine will get patched to be so good. I multi'ed with Ranger to get more weapon DPS (using dual pistols/blunderbusses + Wolf) and because the L8 and 9 Cipher abilities seemed super underwhelming. My Ranger half is mostly passives, though.

Is there a way to change your party from the ship?

The blessings make that less of a big deal. I was considering restarting anyway until I got stuck in this buggy encounter, since I have a better grasp of the mechanics. There's plenty of reasons to play even though it won't be wholly consistent.

Man the new music is great and VA performances for Xoti, Sarefen, and Tekehu are exceptional.

They're all voiced by veteran video game/anime VAs (Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien, Travis Willingham, respectively), so no surprise, although Texan twang Laura Bailey threw me for a bit of a loop. Matt Mercer does as great a job with Aloth and Eder as he did in the first.

Has anyone had any luck with the "uncharted islands" or "quell mutiny with violence" checks?

I've been sailing around with zero food etc. trying to start a mutiny and I totally killed a bunch of my crewmen when poo poo went down, but no cheevo. Also I can't figure out how to name islands or if I'm finding nameable islands or not.

Similar issue with "enchant five items" : i can enchant five separate items but no cheevo. Do I need to enchant them to max? Anyone know?

Also, is there a list of "major ports" in the deadfire yet?

So does this game run well on old toasters? I just got burned by our laptop being unable to run Frostpunk at a playable level so I'm all :ohdear:

I have a slightly older computer and turning on the 'miscellaneous' option in graphics (which I guess activates dynamic world lights?) devastates my frame rate.

But maybe I have some other issue going on, I dunno. :smith:

I cleared out the "Cavern of Tuk Tuk" and got to name the island it was on. They're out there, but you have to clear the Island's dugneon first I guess?

Just post the custom portrait you want to use and I'll give it a try.

Just a word of warning, Pallegina's Level 1 picks (aka the ones you can't change) kinda suck IMO, especially on the Chanter side (I can live with Flames of Devotion even though it's not Lay on Hands). I also have no idea how to make good Chanter AI scripts.

If the sidekick characters can interject in normal conversations then I would buy DLC that just made them do that a lot. That's all I want really, party members constantly whispering asides to me during conversations with other characters, like in the previous game

Disable Steam Overlay, update video drivers, run borderless window. All of these have given me significant improvements but not quite solid fix. I find when it happens most of the time middle clicking fixes it.

Is there any way to get summons to automatically start attacking once they're summoned, or do I have to individually select and direct them every single time they appear? I'm playing a Beckoner Chanter and between this and having to manually retoggle my chants every time I load a saved game it's getting a little frustrating so I'm hoping I'm missing some obvious option somewhere.

Edit: Or even a "select all summons" button?

I have a deeply foreboding feeling about this lantern thing.

I wish there was a way to have some sort of discussion about it with her. Xoti just says she's going to suck up all the souls you meet and.... you can't say poo poo about it? I mean, she can't actually see them, so why can't to take them and then tell her to go for it when they're gone? Or ask her not to? Or discuss it in some way?

You can tell her not to when you find some, or tell her off, etc.
