I am super upset that Pallegina was made an uggo and doesn't look like herself in PoE1.
As far as I know, yeah, nobody in Obs can play the game on PotD, and so that difficulty goes virtually untested, that was true in PoE as well. And even then, PotD in PoE wasn't even as difficult as SCS, which is the most lenient of BG's difficulty mods.
It's hardly fair to compare the base game to mods though.
SCS is more challenging which means more fun than PoTD (So do what SCS did..) . Also I strongly agree with Lacrymas's earlier point.
Josh can literally do whatever the fuck he wants in POTD without risk hurting the normie's feelings.
Just sawyer-balance the game around Hard, Nerf down for normies and throw the farm at us in POTD.
Quit giving us blue balls.

Isn't this game taking place 2 years after the end of PoE? How does that make Eder, or anyone else, "older"? Pallegina was 25 in PoE1, yet she looks aged decades in her new portrait as well as looking like a completely different person.
Get help.The only option those SJW's in power at Obsidian saw for making a male character belonging to a race of huge, muscular, warlike humanoids was to turn him into a cheerful artist (and treehugger). Can't glorify the male penchant for violence, can't risk a shitstorm by purple haired snowflakes ranting about the "clichéd" huge male fighting character.
Indeed.I need to get off this gay Earth.

The 'improved' potrait is very wrongheaded. It neuters and flattens the character.
Pallegina is all about dualism: Duty Vs Heart, Lace Vs Steel, Passion Vs Stoicism, Human Vs Godlike. You know she is a person deeply and dramatically divided by an inner conflict because of the enormous blood-red slash that is sundering her unyielding breastplate in two. She wears her heart on her breast. It's the most prominent block of uniform color and demands your attention, saying 'hey this person has a streak of heart literally a mile wide. It divides them'. Maybe that's too subtle? This simple visual representation of a person conflicted is suppressed in the new portrait.
In the original her feathes are clearly demarcated from her natural hair - her humanity is distinct from her godlike divinity. Again, an uneasy truce, tense coexistence. In the new portrait, this is diluted. The feathers just bleed into the hair. Pallegina the human is at peace with Pallegina the Godlike. Boring.
Because the tone of her skin has been lightened the feminine lace of her shirt is harder to see, taking the energy out of its struggle to breathe free of the suffocating steel encasing it. She's no longer struggling to express a more caring, gentle side of herself.
Everything about the original portrait illustrates a tremndous pent up energy resulting from these layers of inner and outer conflicts. The half snarl she's wearing reinforces the impression that this character is sublect to raw emotional turbulence. She is the center of immovable objects meeting irresistible forces. That try as she might, she is unable to suppress her rich inner life because it bursts out of her collar, in brilliant feathers out of her eyes, in a huge slash across her body.
The new portrait sucessfully supresses Pallegina. Its as if the artist thought 'how can I take this powerfully conflicted person and pacify them?'. It sucks.

In Pillars, the only other Aumaua was a female Barbarian. In Deadfire, the only other Aumaua is a female Ranger. Both are martial classes. Get your head out of your ass, the writing is on the wall.
Wether you take offense to such retardation is up to you. Retards probably don't mind other people's retardation as long as it doesn't get in the way of their limited interests.
Which is the same thing as a humanities major. If an American humanities major says they were taught critical thinking, then you know they have no critical thinking skills.Someone with a humanities major
plz no prejudice
this bullshit could have been written up by any emo teen.
Why would I take offense ? You're the one who's obsessed and needs help. If you want actual examples of social awareness in poe, there's sagani and her matriarcal tribe, who comments on how her husband is such a good cook, or Pallegina's reflexions on how she's a brother because she's assexual or some shit. But they're way more discreet than the transsexual in SOD or the one in Mass Effect.In Pillars, the only other Aumaua was a female Barbarian. In Deadfire, the only other Aumaua is a female Ranger.

And here you are, getting on your high horses because there's a bard who's 2m tall.
Talk about retardation, you sbastic.
Eder looks like Neil Patrick Harris on the "revised" one

The lore college of Rauatai is central to its culture, its chanters responsible for maintaining history and traditions alive. All students answer to the Keeper of the college, who is responsible for weaving their stories into the chant that serves as a record of Rauatai knowledge and lore. Furthermore, it is one of the greatest libraries in existence... According to its chanters at least.

Maybe that could explain why they put aumaua chanters in their game. But I don't know, now that you made me woke, I think it actually has to do with a feminist agenda.
give some fucking sources man, I had to cp that shit into google.
At any rate, that snippet doesn't say anything about lore keeper being strictly a male role, does it? If it's central to the culture, why do we only get male chanters? Either it's an honorary but ultimately powerless position reserved for men, or Chanters are kangz and womyn must hunt and gather and protect the tribe. Either way, you owe us some answers Obs
Brings me back to my original point. Nobody feels like this information is lacking, besides those who are obsessed with the matter.
But since the wiki also states that chanters serve in the military, it would actually have been more questionable if all aumaua chanters were to be female.
