I just can't be bothered to deal with looking through 700 spellbooks. Some are better than others, but you can win with just about any group. You may want to play a priest if you want a class that you'll be thinking a lot about during battles.Īlso, on hard and below difficulties, you can use whatever class composition you want. Whatever class you choose, you'll probably spend most of your time worrying about what your casters are doing. They have my favorite-looking soulbound class armor too. Nice quick heals and make good off-tanks. I love to just launch into a pack and blow up my deadfire cannoneer's belt, and then aoe slice the survivors to pieces. It starts off a bit slow, but you'll be wrecking large packs of baddies by mid-game. Deadfire is such a better game that it would be nice if people could pick it up and not feel like they were missing anything by not playing the first one.2-hander barbarian is my current favorite.

If the inciting incident was different then there'd really be no need for the PC in Deadfire to be the PC from Pillars and I think it suffered from the idea that before you play Deadfire you really need to not only play but also beat Pillars. I do wish that Deadfire hadn't been a direct sequel to Pillars. Who knows if that would even help, though. I actually quite like the turn-based mode in Deadfire, though, so if they someday made a new Pillars game that was turn-based from the ground up, I guess I would be ok with that. Makes it seem like I'm doomed to be constantly disappointed.
The relatively poor sales of Deadfire stung because it's everything I want in a game, but it appears that there aren't enough people that agree for that kind of game to be economically viable. The writing, the world building, and the mechanics are all really far above anything else in the genre. I kickstarted both of them (well, I guess no one kickstarted Deadfire, but I "figged" it, or whatever) and I was satisfied with PoE 1, but Deadfire has become one of my favourite games of all time. In PoE1, it felt like you could 'play both sides' all the way through, where PoE2 forces you to make that choice.Īs much as I want a PoE3 (or Tyranny 2), I'm really looking forward to Avowed and how they make the jump to first person. That moment happens at the end of PoE2, but I love how they were both big choices with immediate consequences. In Tyranny, you finish Act 1 by basically burning bridges with one or both of the main factions, and that has some effect on how the rest of the game plays out. It's also been interesting playing this directly after a run of Tyranny, because they built upon the reputation system.
I'm only now getting into the DLCs, but I love that they flesh out the sidekicks from the base game. The feeling of traveling to an unmarked island, only to run into a cult, or a dungeon with some hidden boss, I have not had matched by any other game. It really clicked when I made Ydwin into a Rogue with the ability to apply Cipher debuffs. In the beginning, I kept having choice paralysis with the character class choices, but as I went through, I started to really appreciate what you could do with it. I loved PoE1, and I'm nearing the end of my first PoE2 playthrough (despite backing it way back). and of course the mechanics and skills, levels, etc were far more interesting and richer than in Origins. Always lots of options, always needing to move around the battlefield. And in in Pillars you have a lot more to do than you did in Origins in any given slice of time. Hits were meaty and things could knock you about. In Origins combat was a bit slower, enemies had mass and intertia to them. The only other real time system that was pretty damn good was the one in Dragon Age Origins. Base speed should really have been one tick slower. I think the base speed was a little faster than it should have been. It's great that you could slow it down or speed it up. Their real-time combat was near perfection. The ship to ship combat was repetitive and boring and not very engaging though, I grant you that. This was mostly a reaction to the turn-based crowd that kept on complaining. This was definitely not because they weren't happy with their combat system.
