Have any of you played enough of the game to evaluate it yet? Were you happy? Disappointed? I don't have the game, so I'm curious how people are reacting to it. I liked the game. Very similar to PoE I, but less confusing. They improved the combat mechanics so you can see better in advance how likely an attack will succeed, readjust targeting etc. Still lots of reading, sometimes a bit long-winded, but enjoyable most of the time. I had hoped for more content for the personal quests, if you can even call them that. It usually ended with something like "Good we have talked about that, let's move on.", no impact whatsoever (for me at least, maybe it's different when you are mean to them). What PoE II does nicely is the reactivity to your actions, background, race and so on. I had feared they would reduce this, being fully voiced now, but even if it's just one line regarding your character, it is still there.
I don't now if you have played the first part, but if you liked that one, you won't be dissappointed by PoE II. Didn't reinvent the wheel *cough*, but made small improvements.

This is so weird... Finished the second PT. I think a glitch happened because of some strange sounds in the game so I tried to get the files verified. It took so long that I wondered if anything has been done so I cancelled it. I tried to start the game, no go. Nothing worked so I had no choice but to uninstall and reinstall, without deleting the save files. What went nuts; Xoti. I told her to release the souls into the adra. Instead, she absorbed them. I don't recall that happening at all in the first PT. I had to reverse and told her to keep; she released them. Then she confessed her interest and I chose; no, not interested. Imagined my bewilderment when in the ending narrative, the protag has apparently robbed the cradle. What?! I said no. What part of no does the game not recognised? Ship battle; So I know what's port and starboard but the images during the battles do not conform. When the ships are facing each other head-on, does it make sense cannons can hit the other?! When starboard is facing the enemy, the game tells me to fire port cannons. What? I chose to side with the Huana so they took back control of Deadfire. The Principi were routed and I killed that old guy at Ukaizo. I've to say I'm not happy with the bombing of the Citadel; isn't there a better way? Like creating a false alarm to get everyone out? I my eyes when the first thing I heard when I walked into the gunpowder storage area is a NPC saying (to herself); Oh I must write to my kids. Really? Really? So the trading factions were reined in and the pirates vastly reduced. I lost Maia of course, because of the Citadel incident. Pel got kicked out by the Republics. That stinks. Might go for a 3rd PT. I didn't manage to romance anyone this round due to the Xoti glitch. Btw, I don't think much of Eothas's reason for destroying the Wheel. The whole premise is BC and confusing to me. Also, it's obvious recruiting Maia is pointless if the intention is to support Huana. Her personal mission enabled assassinations to occur, destabilizing the region just so her countrymen (or king) could gobble up territory and control it, and she definitely will not support bombing the Citadel. Pel is also another companion whose presence is meaningless in the long run. Other than her personal quest that shed light on her past, there is nothing more that she contributes, aside from religious standpoints with Xoti.

Have any of you played enough of the game to evaluate it yet? Were you happy? Disappointed? I don't have the game, so I'm curious how people are reacting to it. I wasn't that fond of the 1st game, but it did give me my RPG fix. The second game is a vast improvement IMO, the ship and island exploration reminds me somewhat of the 1st Mass Effect game so it was pretty cool. This game is MASSIVE, so much stuff to do, and because of the improved combat it doesn't overstay its welcome like the 1st game. The story is meh, but its an improvement over the 1st game. While in general I liked the companions, some of them suffer from the DA2 syndrome: being too far into one side of the political battle. It's not as good as DOS2, but its good nonetheless, and now that Bioware doesn't make RPGs at least for some years to come and CDPR releases a single game in millions of years, Obsidian is probably the goto developer for the classic real-time with pause RPGs.

Have any of you played enough of the game to evaluate it yet? Were you happy? Disappointed? I don't have the game, so I'm curious how people are reacting to it. A definite improvement over the first one, though, I did have some technical issues with it and decided to put my PT on a hold until the game gets more patches, and then give it another try. I've gameplay issues with it and other stuff. One of these is the contradicting images I see in ship battles. Do you expect either ship to inflict dmg when they're facing each other? Surprise, surprise, they do! Where do the magic cannonballs come from?! Do you expect to fire port side cannons when you see the enemy ship (broadside) on your left? You do, right? The game tells me however, to fire starboard cannons! The bows of both ships were facing the same direction, btw. I've no idea if this is a glitch that occurred when I tried verifying files or from the recent free DLC.

Companions have more personality, classes are a bit more balanced, Much more player freedom, dialogue options are based more on skill than stats. The story, though, is weaker. Much more Skyrim-like. Despite a god stomping all over the Deadfire going stuff that even has other gods worried, you spend most of your time mixed up in local politics, or pirating. Still, it's quite fun. I may run a rogue/cipher next time.

I may run a rogue/cipher next time. I haven't finished the game but it seems like there are only a handful of main story quests. Already I'm at the part where I have to pick a side (with the usual "point of no return" stuff that I expect right before I final mission), even though I deliberately tried to space out my completion of the main story with side quests. The companion content also seems rather short compared to the first game, with a pacing that at times can be jarring. Maia was hitting on my character literally within 10 minutes of recruiting her and acting like we already knew each other well, despite not having left the city or done any quests together. They do make up for the fewer 1-on-1 conversations with frequent party banter and commentary during other conversations, though, which is nice and makes the companions feel like real people. I'm definitely going to replay this game after I finish it. Might go for a priest of Berath. The degree of reactivity to your class, race, background, and disposition is unlike anything I've ever seen in an RPG before. <iframe width="30.74000000000001" height="6.819999999999993" style="position: absolute; width: 30.74px; height: 6.82px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 14px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_91981992" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="30.74000000000001" height="6.819999999999993" style="position: absolute; width: 30.74px; height: 6.82px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1470px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_6232197" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="30.74000000000001" height="6.819999999999993" style="position: absolute; width: 30.74px; height: 6.82px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 14px; top: 279px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_85243502" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="30.74000000000001" height="6.819999999999993" style="position: absolute; width: 30.74px; height: 6.82px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1470px; top: 279px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_66108887" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Also, I feel that I should call attention to how utterly gorgeous the soundtrack is. I expected something good, but not THIS good.
I'll need to finish the game before I can say for certain, but Deadfire might very well be among the best RPGs I've ever played.

It's a pity I cannot ask Ydwin (additional sidekick) more questions in the first meeting when she said she uncoupled her soul from herself with copper and adra. Bloody freck elf, where did your soul go then? Did you toss it into the adra? How does uncoupling your soul from yourself removes you from Berath's Wheel? Did you tether it behind yer like a wagging tail? Or did you stuff it in a chest by your bedside?

There were shenanigans like that demonstrated in the first game.

I'll need to finish the game before I can say for certain, but Deadfire might very well be among the best RPGs I've ever played. This is a reimagining of the music plays in taverns in PoE1. Similar thing has been done for DOS2, also producing one of the best pieces in that soundtrack:

Wow, it's neigh on impossible to get anywhere with Aloth. Rep with him is 0! Even after doing his PQ and the protag expressing interest. He's glitched to **** and back. Oh well, going to stop playing. The companion reps are broken as shucks and the romance factor not worth going for. Give me BW's style where the path is clear in dialogues and not depending on a number hanging below the companion portrait.

Finished my 2nd playthrough, this time with a wizard (Concelhaut's Crushing Doom continues to be my favorite spell). Some things that i did different: Sided with the Vaillian Company keeping Castol as director and surprisingly i end up liking this ending. Managed to romance Aloth and he remained with the Watcher. The quest Blow the Man Down in Fort Dealigh was a nice surprise as it allowed me to play it in a completely different way. In my first playthrough i sneaked around the fort until i found Lamont in the forge, freed his crew, killed some guards guarding a ship Lamont wanted to steal and rang the bell in the ramparts to indicate a ship is leaving port, then Benweth appeared and i let him live. In this playthrough i just talked to Mirke in the Court, stole some drinks and food for a wild party, planted a bomb in the piano and when Benweth appeared and started to play he exploded.

Finished the present PT since I'm just a few steps from the ending. I gave up on Aloth, not even going to try to romance any one in future PTs. The fish is surprisingly easy to cosy up to, his disposition went to 2 rather fast. I didn't recruit Maia and Pel this time, good riddance and zero headaches. Also chose different persuasions at the end. I still sided with the Huana. Honestly, it's so hamfisted... Hello devs, you do know gunpowder is useless when they're wet, right? The entire purpose of the sabotage is to remove the ammo so the Rautai (sp) is toothless. Why not give that option?!! Too, if the intention is to remove personnel as well, just wet the powder and give those people a bellyache for a week. Done. Why no such choice with so much bludy magic and potions flooding everywhere?
Anyway, that's that. Moving on to other games.

So I finished Deadfire. I was satisfied with just about every companion ending in my playthrough except that Xoti turned evil. Apparently I should have stopped her from absorbing the souls. I did try but she didn't listen. It was especially sad because the slide describing her going crazy came right after the slide describing how she and Eder became lifelong friends. Oof. Guess that's something to watch out for next playthrough.
The ending quest itself was disappointing and anticlimactic. I sided with the RDC and the showdown with the Principe was trivial. The fight against the Guardian, the final conversations with companions, and the last talk with the gods were all great, but I wish there had been a proper final dungeon and a more in-depth discussion with Eothas. It was all just too short. The buildup made me think this would be like the suicide mission from ME2, but nothing of the sort happened. In addition, it suffered from a lack of content leading up to it. I didn't feel like reaching Ukaizo was that much of an accomplishment because the location is given to you for free. It makes me wonder if the developers simply ran out of time.
In conclusion, the game is excellent but the main story is disappointing. I started my next playthrough as a wild orlan multiclassed as a Cipher and a Priest of Berath, emphasizing the Stoic, Rational, and Shady dispositions.

Oh good, mod support and they're now showing what actions had been taken with companions. Oh nice, now you can decide, in-depth, what decisions have been made in POE1 instead of a general brush. Very good, I'm impressed they made such efforts. kudos. Looks like this will be a game I'll keep on the SSD for a while; isn't there a story DLC this mth?

For a while I was worried that Pillars 2 wasn't selling very well, but because of the Steam leak we know it has over 200k players on Steam which is nice. I'm less worried now

^ I bought mine on GOG so maybe there'll a few thousand over there too. I'm kind of hoping the DLC story takes place after the events of Deadfire; further adventures of the Watcher during the journey home. Though with Caed Nua destroyed, I don't suppose they can rebuild something. The land where the fortress used to be still belongs to the Watcher right?

^ I bought mine on GOG so maybe there'll a few thousand over there too. I'm kind of hoping the DLC story takes place after the events of Deadfire; further adventures of the Watcher during the journey home. Though with Caed Nua destroyed, I don't suppose they can rebuild something. The land where the fortress used to be still belongs to the Watcher right? You do not own the land, you are the officially appointed Lord of Caed Nua by the Earl of the Grasp if you did the 3.0 quests chain, if you didn't then you are illegally squating the place technically.

Ah, so no fortress, no nothing. The Watcher has no home. I don't suppose the ship they're wanderers now and the ship is home.

During the Hollowborn Crisis, though, the Dyrwood was eagerly giving out land hoping to draw new people in. Wonder if that policy is still in effect...

During the Hollowborn Crisis, though, the Dyrwood was eagerly giving out land hoping to draw new people in. Wonder if that policy is still in effect... Dyrwood is split into seven provinces governed by seven erls who then have thayns to oversee their properties. Over them all is the duc. Caed Nua is in The Grasp province, under the rule of erl Bademar. The Watcher then, would be his thayn, given control of the stronghold. I doubt everything was leveled by Eothas. It would be in ruins, again , and denuded of any living soul. I've no doubt the erl would have been informed that the Watcher was not totally dead (and the reason why they left as they did) and news of their continual survival would have been brought to him after the events of Deadfire. I think, being a thayn, the Watcher has the duty of returning and reporting to the erl who is after all, their leign lord and they've to decide whether to continue in the erl's service or leave. Definitely, I think where Caed Nua is concerned, there would be an effort to draw in settlers again. An empty land means no income, no goods and since Caed Nua was a stronghold, a gap in defenses, to the erl which meant he would have to scrap up something from other holdings to make up for the shortfall for the annual tithe to the duc. In the Watcher's absence, it remains to be seen whether erl Bademar would wait for the Watcher or decide to do something.
