Just beat my rerun of the first game last night but stayed up way too late to do it so I won’t start the sequel until tonight. Question about how the ending of the first game affects the sequel: Does the “gods are fake” thing get brought up a lot? I thought that twist was kinda dumb and the fact that everyone just kind of immediately accepts it as fact even dumber. Like I didn’t even get any special dialogue options for being a priest. The main reason I picked priest was for the dialogue, if the sequel throws all that out I’ll probably change my character to a monk when I import her over, if that’s possible.

havent started 2 yet but theres at least one good reaction to the big twist in 1

yeah there werent that many good dialogue checks but the ones that were there were cool



but yeah tht bugged me for a while but i guess the ideas that even if the gods are artificially created theyre still real, in the sense that theyre still impossibly powerful entities with dominion over their portfolio. thaos is the primary guy that made the gods and he makes deals with woedica as an equal, not as a superior. ultimately if you pray to magran youre still praying to the god of fire, however she got there

I didn’t get to play the sequel as much as I wanted to but so far I feel like it’s a big improvement over the original. It looks like they’re making companions a bigger part of the story, they can actually get involved in conversations and really talk to each other instead of having 4 party members shout out unrelated interjections one after the other like the first one. You have a relationship bar with each one that’s increased or decreased based on your actions or dialogue but each companion also has a relationship with each other so I’m excited to see how that plays out. My character, Edér, and the new companion Xoti (the only two companions I have right now) are all Eothas worshippers and both companions like humorous interactions so we’re just like this gang of wisecracking religious fanatics running around blessing people and cracking up at each other’s stupid jokes, which is fun.

Multiclassing is pretty neat too, I went Priest/Monk so I’ve got all the priest abilities and buffs but can also occasionally break out some Hokuto Shin Ken. And when you recruit a new companion you can choose between one of two classes for them to be, or for them to multi class the two. It’s cool that each combination of classes has its own name, too—as a priest/monk the game refers to my character as a “contemplative.”

Oh also pistols are finally considered 1-handed weapons. I guess that means you can dual-wield them but my first thought was “does that mean you can have a saber in your right hand and a pistol in your left like a real pirate” and hell yeah you can. That’s my second weapon set for enemies that I’m apprehensive about punching in the face.

Kinda fell off the first game after beating it. Buncha stuff to do still but hard to find the motivation to just do it. Really looking forward to eventually getting the second one though. Being a god-slaying pirate badass sounds like a good time.
