So, it's almost confirmed that our ship is the customizable HQ and that there will be pirates ambushes (and on ship fights) when traveling between the islands...very nice!

 

[Rivmusique]

With Sea Dogs-y world map and ship v ship combat?

Pillars of the Carribean

Can't wait to see how Tim Cain brings out the life and depth of this community favorite feature.

Tim Cain will be too busy bringing an AAA action-RPG to life to work on PoE2, I'm afraid.

Oh, well. Get one of the other interns to do it then.

 

[Brutan]

Will the Codex have a fund-raiser for POE2?

 

[Lacrymas]

As long as the pirate ambushes don't become gamey.

 

[Jezal_k23]

97%! We need stretch goals! It is time!

I guess there will be some kind of autoresolve at some point

Really wonder what the stretch goals will be this time around.

looks like an amateur YA author whose only game experience is some trash MMO and Tyranny. Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

 

[Sentinel]

What the fuck happened to Robert Land? He was the only one that actually wrote something good in Tyranny.
I just hope that, if Eric Fenstermaker isn't involved, Carrie Patel is writing Edér.
But who the hell is Narrative Lead Designer? That's all I want to know so I can know what kind of story to expect.

 

[2house2fly]

But, if you look at how many players finished the game (http://steamcommunity.com/stats/291650/achievements/), it's only 9.8 %. That's is extremenly low for deep narrative RPG genre.

What RPGs are you comparing it with? Around 10% is normal completion rate for most games I've seen

Sawyer

 

[Infinitron]

Right now I would say it's looking like Carrie Patel will be "Lead Writer" in a technical sense but the narrative will be determined by Josh Sawyer.

 

[Sentinel]

Well, a good thing in all this mess, at least.
I have confidence in Sawyer, even if I expect the companions to be a huge pile of shit.

Hello, Josh! I was wondering: should somebody not be able to import a savegame from PoE1 to Poe2 for whatever technical reason/be a newcomer to the series who has never played the first installment in the first place, will there be canonical, preset statuses for both the world and companions the story will take its leap from?

There will be a sequence in the introduction that allows you to specify PoE story states for a new playthrough.

I wonder if it'll look like Tyranny's Conquest sequence.

Probably assigned to Tim Cain's project.
