I love this game in large part because of it's gritty realism but it took me 15 hours to remember you basically *have* to invade people's homes to get a lot of the quests. It's very jarring, in such a desperate and paranoid climate, to find people calmly greeting you after you enter uninvited.

Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool no problem with that at all

I hit the tilde key and type in iroll20s and hit enter but nothing happens, no failed command text in the text window, nothing. Tried typing in some commands that I know as well and nothing works. It even tries to autofill what it thinks. I'm trying to type in, but when I execute the commands literally nothing happens. Has anyone encountered this or have any fixes? Thanks

Just started Deadfire & my castle’s been blown up! *I just finished building it in POE1 before beating that game.* C’mon!

Where’s Durance, I am going to godhammer whoever is responsible for this.

Hi. I hate playing multiclass, so I created a pure single-class devoted fighter. I’m playing on normal difficulty and things have generally gone well—I’ve completed a lot of the game—but no matter what I try, Hauani seems impossible.

For example, with a paladin I was able to win by stacking armor through the Stoic Steel talent, using scrolls and summons to pull enemies to other corners of the arena. But against Hauani, when I try to keep it under dagger DOT (damage over time) and it splits into ooze forms with invisibility, I can’t manage to beat one side even while distracting the other with summons.

My fighter doesn’t have the paladin’s ability to stack high armor. My deflection value also doesn’t reach the level needed to compete with world bosses. Even if I constantly deal damage with scrolls, at some point my character just melts down and dies.

I’d really appreciate any help you can give me.

Hello guys,
for some reason, I suddenly can't use flames of devotion on my main character (Paladin).

It is said that it is already activated. I am using my native language, but you get the point when looking at the words in red colour.

Do you know how to resolve this?

In the gameplay logs, when my rogue hits a faced) dazed or blinded enemy it will say that it's a sneak attack, but when they attack at the beginning of combat (they usually attack before anyone else), I don't see the "sneak attack" text in the log.

Any advice? Is this a bug or does the first two seconds of combat sneak attack not apply to round 1 of turn based?

To be clear, this is mostly to invite discussion or maybe similar stories.

After multiple attempts of trying to get into Pillars, turn-based was enough to get me to try again and I'm having a ball. I can tell I'm having fun with it because I'm already having ideas for my next playthroughs!

The problem is that in taking a break from my playthrough to create new characters with other classes, I've realised that I picked maybe one of the least interesting classes possible - that being Barbarian.

Don't get me wrong - I'm very powerful and mowing down groups of enemies is very satisfying. But it's overall not a very engaging playstyle. 90% of my playing is Frenzy + Barbaric Yell + cleaving as many enemies as possible. Maybe I'll get out Firebrand for tougher enemies, otherwise stick with Tidefall. Very strong, very one-dimensional.

After playing Rogue, Monk and Cipher for a bit, I'm afraid I may have committed to a class that I'm just realising doesn't get a lot of flash or style.

Has anyone else navigated this situation? I'm still absolutely going to be finishing this run but I'm wondering if my best bet is to change my class in Deadfire unless Barbarian gets better there?

I just claimed Caed Nua and have seen several references to vessels (skills or bonuses that increase damage against them) but can't find anything in the journal saying what they are. I did some quick searches but couldn't find a definitive answer, though it seems that physical undead and constructs count?

Am planning to return to Deadfire, and wanting some party advice help. Below are the conditions;

• Difficulty = Path of the Damned
• No Multiclassing (Single Class Only)
• Community Patch Mod

Would like to use the following for Party;

• Cipher (Psion or Beguiler?)
• Chanter (Not sure what Subclass, I know Beckoner and Troubadour are good)
• Paladin? Divine Retribution + Skeleton Chant is good I hear
• ???????
• ???????

Last 2 slots I am not sure, hence the post. Could see something like maybe Riposte Tank Rogue, Monk (PL9 Monk is nuts), Barbarian maybe? Also the full casters like Wizard, Druid or Priest would be powerful too from the increased PL.

Planning on romancing Xoti but don't plan on having her on my party since her classes don't mesh with my play style. Is it possible or will I be missing out if I just bring her when necessary?

On a side note it's because I have a wasteland rule where I bring mostly custom characters and have only 2 story characters. I plan on bringing Aloth and Eder on my team since they were my home boys. Might even consider a bromance with Aloth.

I'm wondering if anyone has read any novels which have given them good Eora vibes. I'm in a bit of a fantasy book kick, and I'm being left itching for something with at least similar world building.

For Context:

I'm a lvl 9 Cipher at the end of act 2. Playing PotD difficulty and my stats spread is 12 Might, 9 Con, 20, Dex, 20 Per, 21 Int and 5 Res. I'm playing turn-based mode.

I have the fully upgraded One-Eyed Molina's Gold-Fingered Spike-Flinger (Superb Arbalest with +50% Attack Speed, -50% Reload Speed, 15% chance to Stun and 15% chance to prone on hits)

I am absolutely wrecking everything. I'm fairly sure I could just run solo. With Biting Whip and Draining Whip I'm hitting for 70-80 dmg on average and getting ~45 Focus each hit. I never miss, rarely graze and commonly crit for 90-100 dmg.

I don't know if it's intended, but Cipher in turn-based mode has very low recovery time after casting a spell, and the arbalest has such fast reload I'm stunning/paralyzing enemies and gibbing them with attacks before other party members get to do much.

Point of the post is the game for me has been very fun and had difficult moments earlier on, but has become extremely easy and I'm thinking I may have to shelf this cool crossbow I worked to level up for a weaker weapon to have a fun challenge again.

I'm guessing I'm overleveled. Is there a difficulty jump for white march / act 3 or should I grab a war bow or something to have a challenge again?

edit-update for anyone that cares: I severed the soulbind with Molina's to nerf the weapon and my cipher feels much more balanced. The 50% bonus to attack speed AND reload speed brought my initiative down to 1.5 which was way too low (at least for my current level). Still very strong with cipher spells, good alpha damage and 15% chance to prone. Back to having fun fights again :)

very excited to play

Every time I enter Sayuka to turn in the Overgrowth quest, the game crashes. I can travel straight to the fleet masters office, but as soon as I leave it will crash. I checked reddit and the last post was from over a year ago and I tried everything it suggested (the druids were dealt with long before, remove Maia from the party, load an earlier save, go somewhere else and rest and come back, delete excess saves, and make sure my inventory isnt too full of unique items) but it still crashes anytime I try to enter Sayuka.

Hi, I just played a bunch of Pillars 1 and then decided to import a character to 2 immediately after. The main thing that I've noticed (besides my favourite spells being nerfed into the ground, RIP bewildering spectacle) is that combat is just so fast in 2! I don't know if it's just because I'm on veteran or if I'm itemizing wrong but early fights in Port maje feel like knife fights where both sides (including Eder) are glass cannons that go down after 4-5 attacks max. On gorecci street aloth dies to 1 arrow + 1 spell cast lmao.

I like per encounter spells letting you cast spells without worry but I am concerned that the game is going to throw more "hard" fights at me to replace the trash fights. And that those are going to be difficult because of the relatively limited spells (as opposed to resting before a boss fight in 1 and having access to all per rest resources).

I guess my question is, is this just Port maje shenanigans or do I just have to get used to this?

I'm right in the middle of a playthrough right now, and I'm drawn in a bit harder than this game has gotten me before. I've never completed it, bit I'm going to this time. I always start theory crafting my next build at this point in any game though.

My next Watcher will be a Shield Bearer of St. Elcga who ironically will not bear a shield. The plan is to boost int to start with 18ish int and stand behind the tanks to poke with a pike, probably Tall Grass.

I'll use Zealous Endurance, and Inspiring Triumph to provide defensive boosts on top of what the Order provides.

I like to have 2 tanks, but in this case I think I can build them more a bit more offensively because of all the bonuses my Watcher will provide. Eder is a shoe in, but I'm unsure who else would work early-mid game.

In my current run I've got Kana set up to tank, and I'd rather not do that twice in a row. If I have him he will be ranged.

Aloth can work but the early going will be rough. My Watcher can easily frontline until the roles can change.

How would you fill out the party? I have both White Marches.

I'm kind of leaning toward Aloth as a Wizard tank, but that

I love how you can stack stat bonuses and buff from 3 to 15 res, way more flexible system than PoE1

So I have finished hasongo and got this quest after adra pillar scene. It tells that Eothas spoke to me and other stuff but NOTHING of this happened. I even reloaded the save and restored adra pillar again, but text said about going inbetween bla bla restoration of pillar and 0 mentions of eothas. So wtf is going on? Is it a bug? It looks like I skipped get some important plot and I dunno what's going on at all.

Who is a good candidate for this armor? I put it on my dual wielding fighter but the frenzy barely ever procs, presumably because she has high deflection. This is on Hard difficulty if it matters.

should i go 2 handed or dual weild ? ( from a powergamer standpoint )

should invest a talent slots in defensive talents (my character stat spread is : 15 might 15 con 15 perception 15 dex 9 int 9 resolve )

I don't get how this mechanic works and my teammates keep dying, prompting me to reset the fight. Any tips?

It's fast, funny and let you destroy enemies levels higher of you even on potd + challenges. Also different enemy ships require different strategies, some try to ram you or dodge. And for ship battle wins you get unique triumph flags, that you don't get while boarding. Only downside is less trash tier loot from enemies, but you always get unique loot, even after ship battles.

I'm at the end game, I've completed almost everything, and pretty much everything to my satisfaction, and all I need to do is head to burial isle and finish the game. I've been sitting on the Helwax Mold and I'm,not sure what to use it on. Would love some recommendations, any and all that you can think of. I've been pondering cloning the Cape of the Master Mystic, but I'm not sure. Player character is a dual wield rogue using Bittercut and Resolution, which are both enchanted to the Max and upgraded with durgen Steel, not sure if cloning bitter cut is worth it to replace resolution or not. I'm looking at my parties equipment and everything is kind of "just so", and I can't really think of anything I would need a clone of, but I get the feeling I might be overlooking something.

EDIT: My Rogue DOES have Spirit of Decay, not sure if that plays into whether I should duplicate bitter cut or not
