A new update for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire titled 'Making Pillars II Gorgeous'.
More information.
Pillars of Eternity II - Making Pillars II Gorgeous
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
New beta patch has the ship features (crew, battles, resources, customization).
I tried it a bit last night, ship battles (not boarding) is a text round based mini-game with sound FX. I like it personally, needs a few changes to help comprehension though and a "skip" button (it can be lengthy battles for people who just want to board the other ship, Josh announced a "skip to boarding" button is coming already).
Another thing I really like this beta, the +1 sec to recovery for almost every actions. It makes combat less busy and crazy. Unfortunately, some people are already saying it sucks because stuff aren't dying fast enough (they just want every encounters to be done in a few seconds).

Loved the video and for me the biggest plus was the animal companion animations. Always love touches like that. Looking fantastic. The only game I think, so far, for 2018 I am really looking forward to.
Very nice! Something that might have been enjoyable to see as well, would have been any difference between Pillars 1&2 in regards to "weather effects" (rain, sunshine, wind, snowfall, fog etc. )
Still, it's nice to see that this game will be beautiful and then some.

I really like the dynamic shadows, and more environmental animations are always welcome. I thought the spell visual effects are supposed to be dampened when they go off near creatures during combat though, so I'm not sure how much of that flashiness we'll really see during the game.

I love the compare and contrast. Very impressed with these upgrades. Have they released the recommended system specs yet?

Was reading the comments. So many idiots. Give them a story mode with one hit combat. Of course their pride would never let them play that mode. They have to play on hardcore then bitch that it's too long and too hard.

They listed POE1 specs for the beta and current pre-orders, but it is subject to change.

Just the fix I need after going cold turkey since Divinity original sin 2. Looks great, glad I backed it.
are they improving the character movement animations? I had no problems with PoE graphically, but the way your party moved was often a little odd, they almost glided in some cases or moved in mechanical lockstep. Looked unnatural.

This video looked nice and cool, but then I watched one with sea battle and it was...
I dont know if I ever want to go through that more than once. I mean in a nice looking video game Im suddenly thrown into pen-and-paper style combat! Why?!
If you cant make it visual, then just skip that part - do we really need sea combat here at all costs?
