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

[Sizzle]

There's a dodging system (animation) now for when enemies miss you. Nice.

 

[Ivan]

I miss you


"I've played though Tyranny....FFFFFFour times."

 

[Ivan]

"If I import a save. will the game use that save?"


JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

 

[Arulan]

This interview is terrible. Though I suppose Josh must be used to answering these types of questions from most mainstream journalists.

This interview is terrible. Though I suppose Josh must be used to answering these types of questions from most mainstream journalists.

It forces Obsidian devs to lower their game, though. I can understand the necessity for sites like IGN and Gamespot, but why is this random nutcase on Twitch so important?

 

[Sizzle]

There's an Alchemy skill, which ties into either potions or poisons you can craft.

 

[Sentinel]

There is an alchemy skill for potions or poisons (josh doesn't remember) - poison crafting is confirmed in though.

That's pretty much the only new thing revealed in the stream.

 

[Sentinel]

More Multiclass names

Fighter/Ranger - Hunter
Fighter/Rogue - Swashbuckler (??? not sure tbh)
Wizard/Monk - Disciple of Scrolls
Wizard/Ranger - Arcane Scout
Rogue/Paladin - Holy Slayer
Paladin/Cipher - Illuminated Soul
Paladin/Chanter - Herald

I think?

 

[Sizzle]

More multi-class names, didn't catch them all:

Fighter/ranger- Hunter
Fighter/Rogue - Shawshbuckler
Wizard/Monk - Disciple of scrolls (Josh doesn't like this one :D )
Rogue/Paladin - Holy Slayer
Paladin/Cipher - Illuminated Soul

 

[Sentinel]

No unique dialogue if you solo the game.

 

[Sacred82]

you guys have each other on ignore or something?

 

[Sentinel]

Priests are getting more reactivity related to their faith/background when compared to PoE1. Same for Godlikes.

No low INT dialogue options. There might be reactions for that once in a while though.

 

[Sizzle]

More class/race/religion/etc. reactivity confirmed. But we already knew it was probably going to be like this.

No low-int dialogue.

TheSentinel I'm going to let you do this, kind sir :D

 

[Sentinel]

Alright Sizzle you keep posting I'm going back to Warhammer.

 

[Ivan]

gave each of you PARTICIPATION AWARD

 

[fobia]

You can't both go! :D

 

[Lacrymas]

Some of those names are terrible. Holy Slayer? lol, sounds like a 14 year old's MMO character name.

 

[HollyhockGod]

And to think that they need to invent sub-classes names as well. Oh Josh, What have you gotten yourself into?

 

[Sizzle]

Variant voiced lines based on how your companions feel about you.

Monsters from PoE1's Deadfire Arch. book - some, not all, of them will be in the game.

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

Some of those names are terrible. Holy Slayer? lol, sounds like a 14 year old's MMO character name.

It kind of suits your avatar though

 

[Sizzle]

Inventory & weight limitations - still not a thing. The stash is better integrated into the inventory. Personal inventories of characters are a bit smaller.

 

[Projas]

Some of those names are terrible. Holy Slayer? lol, sounds like a 14 year old's MMO character name.

I want Holy Diver.

But really, why should it be "holy" in the first place? Paladins in Pillars don't have to be holy.

 

[Excidium II]

More multi-class names, didn't catch them all:

Fighter/ranger- Hunter
Fighter/Rogue - Shawshbuckler
Wizard/Monk - Disciple of scrolls (Josh doesn't like this one :D )
Rogue/Paladin - Holy Slayer
Paladin/Cipher - Illuminated Soul

lol those names suck! Most don't even seem descriptive of anything.

 

[Arulan]

At least he asked some of my questions.

 

[Sizzle]

Less lore-dumps from characters. You'll only be able to ask the "Tell me about ____." questions from characters which make sense to know information like that.

There will probably no walking in the game - it's not high-priority. It wouldn't be difficult to do, but there's more important stuff to do.

That's it. Really not a lot of new info at all.

There will probably be more info on tonight's Obsidian Twitch stream with Josh and Carrie Patel.
