The symbols. What do they mean?

post portraits. no matter how unlikely the models will actually resemble them.

>Guidebook coming out April 3
Why don't they release these backer bonus items a few days before so that people can read them and get even more hyped for the game? Hire me, Obsidian.

also durr hurr poe is boring and I don't like reading. now that it's out of the way, let's have a great thread everybody

I bet picking the wrong choice here will lock you out of half of the quests in Deadfire.

he agreed to it so I forced him to let her have the notes. I doubt that the decision matters though in poe2 because you know what happens.

She's still alive in my heart

I could swear I saw the picture of a scripted interaction of you walking around Neketaka that had you finding Bellasege in a street or something. No shit.

who else would play the shit out of a real time mmo poe. I think if the time never slowed or sped up it would be good for managing only 1 dude in a party. Fonline was so good and if someone did the same kind of game for someing in the poe universe it would be amazing

There better be one you nerd.

I knew I wasn't crazy

reminder that Pillars fags are cancer for tolerating those avatar nyah faggots

I've filtered them long ago

Whoa, neat.
But what does this mean?

These whole party interactions remind me of SoZ. I unironically loved SoZ.

Her laboratory equipment is responding to your strong watcher soul that has been torn apart by Eothas?

Cosmic cat when?

...

Hey! That Edér portrait looks better than the one we ended up getting!

W-what does it mean for the one who stole her notes?

Why is Eder so smug

What the fuck, wouldn't you not get achievements if you use a console command?

No, any command that works without iroll20s doesn't block cheevos.

Was Caedman right?

4

Right? Who would even pick anything else?

Looks like the Tyranny combo system is coming PoE2's way.

Me so I could make him stay in the sanitarium for the riots

[1] and report to the statueman.

Nigs get nogged.

>caedman doesn't drop his grimoire when killed
Pretty boring.

*teleports behind u*

Good luck with that.

*screams and kills your backrow*

*mindhaccs you*

I'm playing this right now. How do I build my chanter?

Might Int Per for dragon trashing afker.

I've been thinking lately. Everyone says that Pillars' story is shit, and to an extent, they're right. It's rushed, overly verbose and doesn't all fit well together. But when it comes to video game stories, I think Pillars' feels fresh and thematically consistent and coherent to a pretty high level. All of the companion quests and main story events feel like they're all focusing in on the same beats. It's all about science and faith and how they can connect and ally or clash with one another. I'm not trying to say that it's another Planescape Torment, but I found it much more interesting than generic stuff like the Baldur's Gate or Dragon Age series. Just dropping my hot take.

>playing a pet ranger on PotD

The game is not supposed to be THIS fun.

>they're right
You're retarded. Pillars' story is great, you just have to be a non-brainlet and read the fucking lore. "People" going through the game without paying attention to the lore and actual people who appreciate and immerse themselves in Obsidian's world building efforts will perceive Thaos, for example, completely differently. To the first group, he is just a generic bad guy trying to resurrect an Ancient Evil. To the second - he is the protector of the legacy of his people, trying to save entire civilization from themselves by preventing them from learning the truth behind the gods.

Because they contain spoilers.

That's why I said "to an extent". You're being overly defensive. The story of Pillars is good, but it has flaws, particularly in how it is presented. Fenstermaker himself admitted it's the first draft they released and they didn't have time to edit it. Let's not pretend it's flawless, that's getting into fanboy territory.

The first guidebook didn't. It talked about gods and factions without getting into the truth of the pantheon or even the Leaden Key.

>gain [insert random power] BUT...

You're right but that's what Josh said.

>generic stuff like the Baldur's Gate
>fantasy detective is generic
The plot in BG1 is surprisingly good and well thought out.

Who cares about fun user, what's important is that no class is even slightly better than another. It will make them really unique and rewarding to play, see.

Pretty sure Sawyer gave up on the idea of pure balance with the subclasses. For example, Devoted is godlike, while Mage-slayer is a joke. Skald is excellent while Troubadour is average at best.

Can you change your class after you import your PoE save?

How does that work lore wise?

Which means you should simply buff mage slayer and troubadour. The game is better when it's "strong party vs strong enemies".

Someone said here that Bleak Walker's Black Path(aoe fear on kill) can trigger weapon effects like Tall Grass's prone(assuming the fear effects crit).
Could it be possible to proc spell effects too? Like Steadfast's sunlance?

>I'm Fighter McGee
>Hm...I want to try to learn the bow and get a pet Lion
>I'm Ranger McGee

You were EOTHASED to level 1, so you are starting anew.

So what class is the best in PoE if you really hate the combat system? One of the casters, maybe? Chanters are shit, so don't even go there.

Why is the Obsidian forums such shit? You'd think the higher tier backer there would be more level headed but they all seem to hate the game and everything about it.

Bah! No fun

You can even change races. I suspect you will be reborn into a new body with the old memories, Thaos-style.

>How does that work lore wise?
Berath will probably play a hand in that, as you can change your race as well.

>Someone said here that Bleak Walker's Black Path(aoe fear on kill) can trigger weapon effects like Tall Grass's prone(assuming the fear effects crit).
I did, I personally tested it many times, but the Frightened effect has to crit, since the Prone affliction is applied on crit.

>Could it be possible to proc spell effects too? Like Steadfast's sunlance?
Never tried any other affliction, only Prone from Rumbalt.

I wish they'd change which God saves you based off the ending choice.
>MFW Woedica saves you
>MFW you're now Thaos.
Or Wael who will save you and just have you wake up with no context.

>rtwp

Kek, at least Larian offers us a superior alternative.

Quite right. I for one enjoy the romance and clever titty dialogue and expansive reactive story.

Tanky chanter is one of the best for that purpose, actually.
Try cipher, I guess.

What portrait are you using?

>Wael
>doing anything for you
LOL

Animeshit.

Good taste.

>superior alternative.
Ironic, seeing how TB shitters have been just BTFO in another thread.

>forums.obsidian.net/topic/96145-some-paladin-ability-names-and-a-cross-class-are-a-bitd-and-d/
Paladin skills should not mention religion.

>Wael why did you save me?
>Because you're going to do something for me.
>What am I going to do?
>I don't know.

Well, it's true that none of the orders are explicitly divinely focused.

I think that poster is more concerned about the semantic similarity to D&D's paladins, though.

Amnesia?

Truly /ourgod/

Just as likely as him killing you.
Why? Because lol why not.

They get blown out in every thread user.

Religion and faith are a big part of PoE's story because its ultimate theme is knowledge and how to live with or without it. Iovara even makes it obvious near the end of the game by asking the question that contextualizes the entire game. "What if we can be assured of nothing?" Of course the shitposters and brainlets immediately take it as an atheistic take on religion, but it's so much more than that. Ignore the gods or even science for a moment. Think on Edér's quest. Think on Sagani's quest. Think on Kana's quest. It's not just about seeking knowledge and gaining it. It's about learning to live with what is beyond our understanding. This is perhaps a good reason as to the Priest of Wael meme. If PoE had only one god to describe the story, it would probably be him.

Say that to /sci/

>This is perhaps a good reason as to the Priest of Wael meme
You know this has nothing to do with everyone playing a Priest of Wael now, user.

Fine. It's a good excuse, though.

You mean the argument which is presented as "This is inarguable, because this is a fact". Nice :argument" when you have to insist that everything you say as fact.

>priest of wael has some special stuff in PoE2
>we'll never find out what's that

Please stop. You shitposted and tried to ruin OS2 threads, and now you're trying to ruin POE2 threads. Just go post in console wars threads, and let people who are interested in things other than repeating the same childish jibes over and over again have somewhere free of pointless shitposts.

What's wrong with arguing on Sup Forums? I don't see what's ruinous about those posts.

Fuck off, larianigger. Go make a Kiddinity thread and see how many responses it gets before it dies.

Can someone explain positioning to me?

The second there are more than 3 enemies battles become clusterfucks where no one can move.

Wael is the god of mysteries, not lolsorandum. Bringing the Watcher back to life is within their purview because the Watcher has a history of uncovering long-buried secrets but is also unpredictable (as player characters are wont to be), making the Watcher's future actions (and their effect on the world) a mystery even to the gods. Killing you on the other hand doesn't do anything for Wael except in weird edge cases like a Watcher that encourages everyone to keep their heads down and not concern themselves with anything outside their station.

You could also argue that Wael would want to kill the Watcher because they demystify mysteries and solve riddles, but Wael's lore points to greater knowledge only giving people more awareness of how much they don't know, so I don't buy that.

Remember when PoE had a big negative review on RPG Codex and you had tons of people linking and quoting that review to shit on it?
Well... I'll just leave this here. Just some food for thought :^)

>go check out the other thread
>defense of RTWP combat is "THis is inarguable, because this is a fact"

>is the god of mysteries, not lolsorandum
user...

That guy really has a flair for the over-dramatic.

>Go in as monk
>take devotee fighter subclass and spec into quarter staff

Top end monk spells in the first one werent super grand so I probably wont be losing out on much

>"Darth Roxor's final thoughts.. " (c) Darth Roxor
Forums were a mistake

Arguing is not shitposting. In an argument you call someone a nigger while explaining why they're wrong, not

Move to a choke point and AOE everything down. We MMO now

You can't dual-class into subclasses. Subclasses are only for single classes

but that's wrong. you can still specialize in a dual class

Bottom row of purple looks like the skills. Tow below that is obviously NPC relations. Row above that is the 5 factions in the game and the row above that is fuck I don't know. If I had to guess I'd say the six settlements in the game.

It helps to have a fighter with Defender mode on to go in first to lock down most of their melee units with engagement, then focus your CC on any that manage to slip by. This focuses most ranged attacks on your fighter as well.

The first thing they mention in any interview regarding classes is that you can multiclass subclasses.

The only one shitposting here is you, larianigger, since you're the only one mentioning Kiddinity. Again, fuck off to your dead Kiddinity threads, this is a PoE2 thread and there's nothing for you to do here. When it comes to posting about Kiddinity, I ONLY respond, I never make any Kiddinity threads and I do not make any Kiddinity related posts here unless they're responses to larianiggers like you. You want me to stop posting? Then shut the fuck up about your turd, mongoloid.
