When you set your own background in this are you essentially making all the major plot decisions from the first game? How much will I be missing between rolling a new guy and selecting a background vs. importing an old save?

According to the devs, you'll miss only some very minor stuff

Also good on Obsidian to get that desperate Bioware fanbase money by making the companions horny as gently caress in the dialogue

This game will take 100+ hours to complete. 10 of which will be spent in character creation.

If you're a fake gamer sure

true PoE 2 gamers have already been carefully planning their characters in these past months :smugwizard:

So did Cohh ever recruit Pallegina? If she's inaccessible, I'm curious whether the same is true with Aloth if he joins the Leaden Key?

Nope, and I don't think he found Teheku or Maia yet either

Cohh has stalled on the critical path because he loves side content. He spent about 5 (?) hours in Queen's Berth today and left for Tikawara / Poko Kohara near the end of the stream. :negative:

Is that a slight hint on how to make these companions be available? :v:

I'm gonna watch more of Cohh tomorrow anyway and people in the unofficial Discord can always tell me if Maia/Teheku shows up

From what I heard from backer beta builds, yes

Someone mind spoiling the exact locations of Pallegina, aloth, xoti, and Tekehu?

I hope that when Tekehu introduces himself you can respond "bless you!"

Here's all companions Cohh got so far, tried to keep spoiler free as possible

Edér - Literally first person you talk to after opening sequence

Xoti - First city (Port Maje) in starting island, near Readcerans refugees/Dawnstar people

Aloth - Engwithan Digsite in starting island, part of critical path quest, after you open cage in the middle of ruins

Serafen - First ship encounter after you get yours repaired and set sail from starting island

Teheku - Watershaper’s Guild in Periki’s Overlook in Neketaka

Pallegina was met in Neketaka port but not able to be recruited so far

Maia Rua was not met yet

People watching streams, have you guys been noticing a lot of bugs, glitchiness, empty text strings, etc?

There are rare quest bugs so far yes, like NPCs not interacting properly at certain stages of quests.

Sometimes in Queen's Berth (a big area in Neketaka) there were performance drops that were fixed with restarting the game

I saw in one combat an enemy glitching, stuck in animation and dying after awhile

Importing a save with the baby orlan decision doesn't work, have to customizing one or pick a preset with that decision
