Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lacrymas]

The small udmurt has an unflattering bra, the cup size is too big and the supports show through her shirt... Much decline.

It's obvious she's not the one with the boobs in that "family".

Freedom units? You measure the height in freedom fries of course.

(chops fries into tiny pieces) 1776 FREEDOM UNITS! SAWYER IS BIGGER THAN THE ADRA STATUE!

--------------------------------------
Two comments regarding top left corner elements:

(1) Date, it says 19 Majprima 2823 AI: Majprima is something like mid spring, ~early in the year. According to the wiki's timeline the PoE1 story begins in the exact same year, 2823 AI.

I don't remember how long the PoE1 adventure can last. If the video's time is supposed to be official, then Deadfire starts right after PoE1 (?, though perhaps the save import will influence the start date). But my guess or more like wish is that it's just the placeholder here for now, to show how time advances when you sail.


(2) There are world coordinates kept at zero the whole sailing sequence. Possibly it's just unimplemented yet. However, I was also thinking - perhaps one would also need to own some navigation means and have proper skills and knowledge?

Just a paragraph of wishful thinking:
What would the party need to narrow their position? What about a quest to obtain magnetic compass for the means of determining directions? Then couple it with general navigation skills and coastal / regional knowledge or buying a local sea chart. There is also something to say about the knowledge of the relative positions and movement of heavenly bodies across the sky, while using the marine astrolabe or the quadrant instrument. If nothing else, it can mechanically shorten the time needed to travel from location to location. Likewise, buy the ship with some proper long mast and perhaps (if already invented) also the telescope -> better and more distant visibility. Etc. But it would be neat if used for the narrative purposes too. Also hidden stuff. I mean what if somebody hints us coordinates of treasure, or so, using the most obvious example...
--------------------------------------

TL,DR: So from those of you who plan to attend the Q&A, is anybody interested in asking whether they are implementing some navigation tools and skills?

Laugh at my measuring system will you? At least I can call you an Islamic goat-fucking pedophile without having the police knocking at my door.

Yeah, I think they said somewhere that several years pass between PoE1 and 2.

Thanks for info. I thought so too. I dunno, it would also make more sense from the perspective of ending slides.

Just a handful, like from 2 to 5 years, iirc.

Someone ask if they are redoing the battlefield UI to be clearer.

 

[Arulan]

People complaining that hard achievements are part of Steam achievements and they can't 100%. What the fuck.

The man with the Obsidian shirt standing beside Sawyer is a fucking giant. Isn't Josh like 1,85-1,88m? He almost looks like a dwarf next to him.

Justin Britch is like 6'8* (in freedom units). Josh and I are both like 6'2", and he towers over us.

 

[Infinitron]

Confirmed that blue dude is an Aumaua godlike Excidium II

Thank you for focusing on that comment instead of the really fucking stupid bra observation.

 

[Infinitron]

Bobby Null takes the blame for botching factions in PoE1 lul

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

They've hit sidekicks goal like 4 hours ago, and already went up additional 200k when I'm writing this post. Safe to say that this was all planned after all.

 

[Infinitron]

Reverse pickpocketing is in, Fallout+IE ultimate combination confirmed

111 backers before new Fulvano destination.

PayPal not coming until after the Fig campaign is over.

Jesus, how hard is that? Maybe this is a Fig request?

 

[Orma]

The world map stuff is pure incline. Love the sound of that, so nice.

Oh man, 300 hours of playtime at least

What did he say? I don't remember him saying anything particularly impressive. Maybe I was distracted though.

 

[Rev]

I don't think it's because it's hard to implement that, just that they want to prioritize Fig so that people are more inclined to back there and they get to keep more money (since Feargus is on Fig's executive board).

yeah, no way the game is that long. you're delusional

 

[Infinitron]

He didn't say that, Ormagöden is just privately fantasizing.

 

[Sigourn]

It's funny how this campaign is basically Fig Funds and nothing else at the moment. It was about 3,429,000 when I went to dine just now, at 1,72M, and now it's 3,480,000, at 1,79M in Fig funds.

I'm not complaining, though.
