Release Date: May 8th 2018
Platform: Steam, GoG, PS4, XBONE, Nintendo Switch
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Publisher: Versus Evil

Chase a rogue god over land and sea in this sequel to the multi-award-winning RPG, Pillars of Eternity. Captain your own ship on a dangerous voyage of discovery across the vast Deadfire Archipelago. Delve deeply into the story you create through the new character customization system, meaningful companion relationships, freedom of exploration, and a world that reacts to the complex, moral choices you'll have to make.

-Discover exotic new cultures and environments as you plot your own course through the Deadfire region in your own upgradeable ship.
-Choose from 7 unique new, and returning, companions to accompany you. Watch how they react to each other through the all-new companion relationship system or, instead, create your own custom party members from scratch.
-Play your way: create a truly custom alter ego with the new multiclass and subclass systems.
-Witness a living breathing world built on hand-painted backgrounds integrated seamlessly with 3D models, dynamic weather and lighting, and stunning visual effects.
-Captain your crew and upgrade your ship wisely to repel boarders, survive canon fire, and keep a potentially mutinous crew in-line.
-Import your Watcher and choices from the first Pillars, or create a new backstory for your character with an easy, built-in system to decide these choices.

i am not too fond of full voice acting in crpg, i think it is a waste of money, but obsidian have a record of good VO, so yeah i am not too worried but still think it is too much of a resource hog

I can't wait for this. They recently showed off a new dungeon on a stream and the lightning is FANTASTIC. Properly dark and spooky and having a light source such as Xoti's lantern or a torch would be a huge difference.

32/55 seems to be where everyone is at regarding codes, a topic here is keeping track if anyone's interested: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/95782-the-deadfire-scavenger-codes-everything-we-know-so-far/page-1

Sadly this promotion isn't available on GoG as it doesn't support how they are doing it but they did say they are looking at things for GoG users and this stuff will probably be available in-game anyway. It's not OP they said, just a little boost to get you out the door so to speak.

It was bad enough trying to choose a party with the limit being dropped to five and choosing between making new friends with the new companions or chilling with your old buds...

...but then they announced the entire Critical Role voicecast so it's now impossible to choose.

I think a were-shark Druid voiced by Travis Willingham is on lock, though.

EDIT: Also, isometric view is best view.

Eder, Aloth and the paladin birdgod chick I believe whose name I can't remember offhand. Think the rest are new ones.

I'm can't wait for this to come out though. Really hope it lives up to all the hype.

Oh what happened to Avellone?? I thought he was a backbone of Obsidian (I don't know too much about the company though).

Frick the first game is so extensive I have put so much time into it the past few days and am still in Act 2.

This is also true. Still makes me sad as he should be even more important than Eder I'd say, or have more reason to want to be involved.

Damn management issues.

Please buy this game, preferably at full price. It is 11/10 objectively. You should also buy multiple copies and then do nothing with them because it's that good.

Source: I have $1000 invested in it.

As it's listed as a sequel, am I going to have to play through the first one? I have it, but I haven't beaten it. Also, I'm getting the physical edition of this one, because fuck yes. I love physical Editions. It was nice of them to give a courtesy GoG key along with the physical edition of the game.

from what i've learned yes, but you really should play the DLC.

it's just so much better than the vanilla

the bossfigths are fun, especially the optional super tough one
the new class monk is fun to use too
encounter design feel more well thought and planned
the soulbound weapons are awesome.
give a better scope to the story and lore especially for the gods
the maps are just beautiful as ever

they are excellent expansion for sure
