This is what I would call a mmorpg activity. Something I would rather have crew do for me and say come back after 8 hours and they have fish for me rather than have me grind and waste time on it.
Ydwin is a pale elf rogue/cipher: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire?update=278#updates8th companion, ydwin? Let me guess is a mermaid that you can only catch with very special bait while fishing on your ship.
Once hired, crew members can be assigned roles on the ship, and will play a role in the events and battles that you encounter at sea.
I wonder what they mean by that exactly. Will we be able to control them in battle like party members?
