Hey, at least there's ship combat to keep us warm until a year has passed. -.-

Good thing we scheduled the Final Deadfire review for 2019.

Doubt that Darth Roxor will manage to finish this one.

It's not like he needs to actually finish the game to write his Magnum Opus.

Ah the modern gaming journalist method

Not only that, but the lack of hard counters relegated the Priest to sub-par support at first, they didn't become really crazy until the WM patches came. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but they have less than a month before release, yet there's no beta update. Come on, Obsidian, are you going to release the game in an untested and random manner? That's probably exactly what they'll do, actually. Sooooo, don't know what to think about that, except that it's obvious I'm going to wait for patches.

The priest could be redeemed by these power level 9 divine incarnation thingies.
Also I don't think it's gonna be the case for reason of sawyerism, we still don't know how class balance turns in late game.

I miss the days when Bulgarians were a minority.

It only depends on you, you know. Honour your legacy, proclaim another sultanate and invade the balkans like in the good days of old.

found the character I'm going to romance

Me too.

The game literally comes out in 3 weeks, what is taking them so long for a new beta patch? We need to see the direction they are taking and tuning they are capable of.

Too bad the game didn't end up being delayed, they could really have used a month or two. more.

Well, there's no point releasing a beta patch if the Open Beta is due to 3 weeks from now.

- In Deadfire, the companions interject in conversations much more, NPCs respond to their interjections more, the topic system makes them develop attitudes toward each other, and they're just generally more reactive across the board.

The feedback we received during our internal dev play week was almost (?) universally positive as far as the companions' involvement in the story goes.

- There are cases where companions can attack you, but it is more likely that they will simply leave you. They aren't suicidal, and one of them vs. you + four other people is unlikely to go in their favor.

- For a while the weighting of Animal Cruelty was set so high that if you like, looked at a dog the wrong way, Eder would immediately say (paraphrased), "Hey, you're a piece of poo poo. Bye."

- I wrote Pallegina and pickups for various Edér lines. Eric wrote the vast bulk of Edér. Carrie wrote Aloth. Megan starks wrote Xoti. Paul Kirsch wrote Maia and Tekēhu.

- I've met Matt Mercer a few times. He's a great guy. I don't recall him needing any coaching for Iselmyr's accent, though the only session I sat in on was our initial Deadfire one when he was voicing the Fig movie script and Edér and Aloth's voice sets. I normally don't sit in on his sessions but I wrote the intro and Edér's voice set.

And who wrote Serafen? Carrie?

 

[Sentinel]

Why does Serafen always get ignored by the devs? Don't think I've seen them mention him even once.

 

[FreeKaner]

He looks like coolest companion, a barbarian cipher bluebeard orlan.

Anti-SJW nightmare in a nutshell. PC-friendly progressive characters will now effectively attack and murder you during your playthrough given you display any form of bigotry, transphobia, racism of animal abuse. The "Game Over" screen is then replaced by a picture of Justin Trudeau giving you a judgemental look.

Also looks like the most chill companion next to Edér. Everyone else looks like a total cunt judging by the portrait.
