Eternity Pillars of Eternity II Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Urthor]

In terms of maxing damage dealth, is the marginal utility of extra raw damage from might superior to extra accuracy or action speed from perception and dexterity respectively?

Might. Might is special this time around since it is applied after all the other damage multipliers.

Okay the game is not not completley balanced a party of 5 priests is not viabale at least not now maybe I can ask Josh to fix this.

 

[Lacrymas]

i considered devoted but not sure if the bonus is worth it, the numerical values are not even specified in the class description and im not trudging through hours of nerd commando's probably outdated beta videos to see if it's any good, so just regular fighter, no subclass whatsoever

It is very much worth it and Devoted is one of the best classes in the game, if not the best.

 

[veevoir]

There are no real shit classes

Rogues and Rangers would like to disagree with this statement.

Which is funny, because Rogue/Ranger multi is actually strong. Those classes exist only as multi addition though.

It is very much worth it and Devoted is one of the best classes in the game, if not the best.

This class will really shine on 2nd+ playthrough though, when you know which weapons have some good uniques. Locking yourself to one weapon type (unproficient ones get penalties for devoted) is a big drawback in first playthrough.

Rogue was god tier in POE and ranger was A-tier after patches.
Did they become shit in POE2?

Meh, Josh said all weapons have competitive uniques, so I'm not worried about that. You also get a looooooooooot of benefits to your weapon of choice, so even if axes have the worst unique you still get the bonuses that matter. I've also heard you can get a second weapon of choice at one point, but I'm not sure if that's true.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

It feels like assassin/sharpshooter is going to be good class?

The irony is blowing me away

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Why is the PoE: Deadfire desktop icon so pixilated?

 

[Hellion]

^
Game confirmed as shit.

 

[Eisenheinrich]

I don't even want to click that abomination to boot the game.

I'd hardly call rogue god tier in PoE1. Strong single target, but squishy and nothing else - needs a lot of micro to shine, other classes can get more done with the same attention. I liked the class, just don't think it's a powerhouse.

The wiki says +2 PEN and +25% crit damage, it that really that good?
I guess PEN is +-30% damage, but only if it gets you over the thresholds, does +2 matter so much?

rogue was 'dead from anything looking in his general direction' tier in POE.

How are you booting the game? It's not out yet GIVE ME

 

[Riddler]

So, does anyone know if respeccing is possible in Deadfire?

If not, is there some place where you can read about weapon bonuses before creating your character?

 

[Eisenheinrich]

When will Polygon release their review?

 

[Hellion]

So, does anyone know if respeccing is possible in Deadfire?

It is, you can spend some money in every port to respec your character or any companion.

someone caught the deleted review if anyone here wants to chew on it

infinitron pasted the whole thing in the thread anyway

Would rate this *Lacrymas* if I could. :D

 

[2house2fly]

Is Iovara (elf-ghost in PoE1) and what you do with her mentioned in Deadfire at all?

There's a bit where if she and the inquisitor were lovers you can mention her as being an old girlfriend. I don't anticipate more than that though. To be honest, I didn't anticipate that much

 

[AwesomeButton]

BTW, apparently there will be no preload on GoG. It's too late by now.

Ok, fuck it. I jumped on the decline train and bought the game, I wanted to try it out anyway and people's work should always be paid.

Hopefully it's not as bad as I fear it's going to be. Fingers crossed for the last few hours.

What are you talking about? The game is one of the shiniest example of incline and one of the best crpgs.

Graphics will be nice but framerate drops in the big areas so game will be unplayable.
