Maybe it’s just because the plot is less dour. Maybe the voice acting is why Deadfire’s writing seems sharper than the original’s. So that same tank’s attempts to communicate with a bird land with firm comedic timing. Every line of dialogue (besides your player-character’s) is fully voiced and with pretty good acting most of the time. Now I know just what my chain-smoking tank of a farm hand (who then became mayor) is meant to look like. Its top-down perspective is complemented with bigger, more detailed 3D models for party members. Luckily, Deadfire does a much better job of presenting it all than the first PoE. There is an enormous amount of lore and activities to absorb. But my player-character is the perfect psychic, soul-reading, pirate lord for the job. It’s a lot of intrigue to disentangle-with consequences rearing their ugly heads immediately after doing so. For the time being, though, I’ve got pirates to hunt, my own crew to manage, several imperialist governments to support or betray, and a talking sword to placate.
He’s not the one I’m hunting as part of Deadfire’s main story, but I lied to him in the first PoE. Some of my choices from the previous game have already come back to haunt me, thanks to an imported save, though newcomers have the option to write their own history near the beginning of Deadfire. The pirate-centric sequel to developer Obsidian’s throwback RPG doesn’t skimp on that facet of the pen-and-paper role-playing game it replicates. There is no shortage of choices to make in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire.
It’s making me uncomfortable, but the bonus stats I get for keeping Modwyr around are too juicy to pass up. Her name is Modwyr, and she only stops insulting me when the conversation turns toward potential violence. I know this because she (he? it?) told me so.
