Are there any spells/talents, etc that non-beta folks want to see?

Skaen Priest :bounce: I just want to know if they get Sneak Attack again.

I've watched a bit of that guy's stream (only the part about the subclasses), and - yeah, the Skaen Priest has Apprentice Sneak Attack again :D

Damn, the beta is gettin fun but i have huge performance drops in every area (expecially the village).

Only one wilderness area is perfectly smooth.

I hope they will optimize

Went with a Fighter (Devoted) / Cipher (Soul Blade) - man is multiclassing fun in this game. I specced him for frontline defense and with just 12 Might he his hitting like a truck! Has anyone else tried a Devoted multi? The game let me pick three weapon proficiencies, and unless I misunderstood, I should only have one.

Also crazy stuff with the autopause - I checked the box for pause after long spells, and now the game is pausing before everyone's attacks.

Still plays very well, nicely done!

Don't know if anyone cares, but there might be a few screens here and there. I just want to try it out, but at the same time, someone is probably interested in this stuff.

There are noticeably more checks (and a greater variety of them) in Deadfire than PoE1. I played about 60 - 70% of a playthrough a month ago and it was something that stuck out to me.

Was slow mode removed on purpose or is it a bug?

I just spoke with Josh and he mentioned that removal of slow mode was intentional. The intentions are to slow the pace of "normal" speed combat down to something closer to the old slow mode. If you feel this isn't happening, then that should be reported as feedback.

graphics are still YES/NO slider
sad! Does it still only change AA level/methods?
that HUD layout is nice, but I thought you could drag & drop each individual element
also great to see auto pause for long casts only option

edit: what's combat time/auto-slow?

My old friend is back. It wouldn't be a Pillars of Eternity beta without him.

In case you're curious as to why this happens, it has to do with the culling of content from the Backer Beta. If strings don't get properly marked in the database for BB inclusion, they are excised in the BB build process. This causes missing strings. New strings typically have this problem because people forget to mark them.

Waiting for some parts to upgrade my broken gaming PC at the moment, but looking forward to trying this.

Good to see more skills in the game. I knew of some of them, but not all.

For people with the beta: what does the button with the head in the frame in the corner of the level-up/character creation screen do?
