Классы (pillars of eternity)

Usage[]

Skills come to play in a variety of different contexts and partially determine
how the player character or their followers can interact with the world around them.

Notably, only the Watcher’s skills are taken into account in dialogue (i.e. a dialogue option that requires 8 Lore won’t be available to a Watcher with 7 Lore, even if they have Durance with 12 Lore in the party). Other party members can use their skills in regular gameplay (the game will automatically select the character with the highest applicable score whenever eg. Mechanics are used) and scripted interactions where it’s possible to select a character to carry it out (i.e. retrieving the dragon egg during Nest Egg, where you can pick a character with a high Athletics score).

Effects

Release[]

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire was released on May 8, 2018 (exactly 1 year, 2 months and 13 days from the completion of the Fig campaign) on Windows, Linux and macOS, via Steam, GOG, Origin and the Mac App Store.

Czech-based developer Grip Digital was sub-contracted to develop a port to console platforms (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). The port would address adapting Pillars’ traditionally mouse-based UI to work for touch and gamepad-based input, and would include a number of performance optimizations for the hardware. While the project was originally scheduled for completion in Q4 2018, it saw a number of significant delays. Upon the release of The Forgotten Sanctum in December 2018, Obsidian announced that the game would ship to consoles some time in 2019. However this was eventually pushed back on December 9, 2019, when publisher Versus Evil announced that the game would finally be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on January 28, 2020, with the Nintendo Switch version following «later in the year.» This comes almost 2 years after the original PC release. The announcement detailed that the console version will be distributed both digitally via the Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, and Nintendo eShop, as well as physically through a partnership with publisher THQ Nordic. The physical release will come in the form of a Standard release and an Ultimate Collector’s Edition, which bundles in a number of physical bonuses. As announced, the game was released to consoles on January 28, 2020.

Editions

On PC, Mac and Linux, three different editions of the game are available for purchase — Digital Standard, Deluxe, and Obsidian editions. These editions are only available on Steam and GOG, and provide additional digital and in-game content on top of the base game. The expansions, season pass, and the Explorer’s Pack can also be purchased individually.

On consoles, the release is consolidated to a single «Ultimate Edition», including the base game and its expansions up to patch 5.0, but no digital bonus content. The console release also includes a «Ultimate Collector’s Edition», which contains a few physical bonuses that were previously only available during the .

1 эксперимент и развлекайтесь

Хотя вы можете оказаться в более неспешном приключении, если внимательно обдумаете персонажа, которого вы создаете, может быть не менее забавным повозиться с вариантами. Игра предлагает увлекательную задачу, но она достаточно сбалансирована, чтобы гарантировать, что у вас всегда будет шанс на успех, независимо от того, какого персонажа вы создадите.

Так что не переживайте слишком много над созданием персонажа. Идите против стереотипов. Сделайте глупого или необычного персонажа, если хотите. Или просто придерживайтесь стиля персонажа, который вам нравился в прошлом. В конце концов, все ролевые игры — это личное самовыражение и потеря персонажа и истории.

Pillars of Eternity — фантастическая изометрическая ролевая игра, которую стоит переигрывать снова и снова, пробуя новые классы и стили игры. Посмотрите, что лучше всего подходит для вас, а затем снова пройдите игру с совершенно другим творением.

Points of interest[]

• You enter the area from the eastern side. Just to the south is a wounded winter wolf, which you can choose to kill, heal, or ignore it (see The Hunter’s Favor for more details). After the interaction you receive a Silver Arrow in return for the effort, used to create the soulbound hunting bow, Stormcaller.
• To the southeast is the Russetwood crater, with a feral druid and several winter wolves near its western edge. Just beyond a small rocky outcropping is a hunter’s camp, where, after sparing the druid wolf in the cave to the north, you can find the hunter’s totem needed to bring back Thyrsc’s son.
• Defala and her group of slave trackers can be found in a clearing in the center of the area. Just north of her is the ice patch where Qexetl dumps the Giftbearer trinkets (see Regrets Worth Trading for details).
• To the southwest lies an abandoned camp with a soul and a hidden rock containing the tattered map. Interact with the soul to meet archmage Ninagauth.
• Near the western edge of the map is Felisa, with her band of undead cannibals. Just north of that area is the entrance to the encampment of the crag ogres: Flames-That-Whisper caverns. The overlook has a half-buried crate with supplies. If The Ogre Matron is completed without killing the ogres, Morug will setup shop outside the cavern afterwards.
• Greyjaw is an unique bear boss in the clearing just next to the entrance to the caves. The bodies have a journal page on them and the Coil of Resourcefulness.
• Next to it is a clearing with the wolf cave. The cave itself is small and contains Suldrun spiritshifted into a wolf (see The Hunter’s Favor for details). The far side has the unique wand Curoc’s Brand on a corpse frozen to the wall.
• In the northeastern corner are several encounters. Northeast of the lake, Vamrel leads a group of pale elf slavers struggling with an ogre slave. She drops the unique sabre Bittercut. Further north, there is a body buried in a landslide (pilfer it for a pair of Boots of Speed). A shrine to Galawain in the extreme north-eastern corner is guarded by an Ice Troll.
• If you have the bounty, Laenric will spawn northeast of the lake.

Волшебник

► Тип схватки/боя — Исключительно дистанционные.

► Основные характеристики — Интеллект и Сила.

► Вторичные характеристики — Ловкость.

► Основная особенность — «Магия на любой вкус и цвет».

Описание

Этот класс может сеять хаос и разрушение на поле битвы, но вот может умереть даже от обычной простуды, поэтому очень важно следить за балансом своей группы. Это мы говорим о балансе атакующих и так же защитных заклинаний

Кроме этого, каждый играющий может запутаться в процессе колдовства. Первое, что следует запомнить, играя Волшебником: прежде чем применить заклинание, его необходимо выучить; далее выученное заклинание необходимо переместить в специальную волшебную книжку — это может быть гримуар;  теперь колдуйте!

Если вы мучаете своего Волшебника и не даёте ему отдыхать, тогда учтите то, что он будет иметь ограниченное (сильно) количество применяемых заклинаний, но вот более «продвинутые» маги умеют восстанавливать некоторые заклинания сразу же после схватки. Помимо этого, вместительность волшебного гримуара так же будет ограничена (по четыре заклинания каждого уровня), поэтому не взирая то, что волшебный гримуар является многоразовым и заклинания каждый раз можно менять, лучше всё-таки иметь несколько таких книжек. Стоит помнить, что Волшебник не для новичков, так как для его управления вам потребуются определённые навыки.

Сайфер

► Тип схватки/боя — Абсолютно любой.

► Основные характеристики — Интеллект.

► Вторичные характеристики —  Ловкость и Сила.

► Основная особенность — «Огромное влияние на разум».

Описание

Сайфер — это самый гибкий и интересный класс в игре! Он имеет огромное количество самых разных навыков, которые будут влиять на разум вашего врага. Сайфер может стать как воином ближнего боя, так и дальнего, а его средоточие на интеллекте помогает ему атаковать ментальными умениями. При помощи этих умений вы можете сводить своих врагов с катушек, уничтожать и калечить их здоровый рассудок, вводить в ступор, обездвиживать и даже подчинять своей воле!

Если посмотреть на этот класс с другой стороны, то его  сила и ловкость вполне позволяет создать прекрасного бойца ближнего боя, который владеет любыми видами оружия и не важно, двуручная пика это или же небольшой кинжал, а может даже и рапира. Несмотря на всё, он даже в самом начале игре может сразиться одновременно с несколькими противниками сразу: парализуя одного, контролируя другого и сражаясь с другим! В общем, полезный и универсальный класс во всех смыслах

Несмотря на всё, он даже в самом начале игре может сразиться одновременно с несколькими противниками сразу: парализуя одного, контролируя другого и сражаясь с другим! В общем, полезный и универсальный класс во всех смыслах.

2 Обдумайте настройку вечеринки

Во время вашего приключения вы можете выбрать из 11 замечательных товарищей, и вы сможете организовать группу из шести человек, которые присоединятся к вам. У каждого из них есть своя уникальная история, навыки и способности. Этих товарищей можно найти в мире или нанять в зале искателя приключений.

Убедитесь, что у вас есть отличная композиция для вечеринки. Например, если вы, вероятно, захотите, чтобы в вашей команде был Эдер — человек-боец, то играть за бойца самому может быть немного излишним. Во время игры вы столкнетесь с множеством проблем, поэтому убедитесь, что вы готовы ко всем. Убедитесь, что у вас есть кто-то, кто подходит для исцеления, а другой — для того, чтобы принять на себя основную тяжесть урона.

Пользователи Magic тоже всегда жизненно необходимы. Подумайте о группе, которую вы хотели бы иметь, например, от D&D party, и помните об этом при создании своей первоначальной роли. Таким образом, вы можете быть уверены, что ваши будущие товарищи хорошо дополнят ваш стиль игры.

Дополнительный совет по созданию персонажа — убедиться, что основные цвета каждого члена группы довольно различны. Это позволит вам выделить ваших персонажей во время битвы и вам будет легче отслеживать их всех.

Interactions[]

Companion

Xoti is found at Port Maje at the Dawnstar encampment if you haven’t searched the Engwithan Digsite, or at the Temple of Gaun in Neketaka. Simply talking to her and revealing that you are a Watcher following Eothas will earn her faithful service. She starts with the unique hatchet, Xoti’s Sickle, and Xoti’s Lantern.

Class

• The class options available to Xoti are the priest subclass , the monk subclass , or a multiclass of the two (Contemplative).
  • is Xoti’s unique priest subclass that grants Hatchet proficiency and a selection of protective Eothas spells as well as druid-like plant spells.
  • is Xoti’s unique monk subclass with buckler proficiency, +3 Wounds per kill, but +1 Wound ability cost.

Reputation

• Xoti likes:
  • Pro-Eothasians: Supports the followers of Eothas.
  • Lighthearted: Appreciates jokes and levity in life, even in the darkest of circumstances.
  • Impassioned: She is a passionate person and responds well to people with similarly strong emotions.
  • Worldly: Appreciates a cosmopolitan lifestyle and outlook on life.
• Xoti dislikes:
  • Antireligious: Believes the gods and religions serve a useful purpose for mortals and dislikes irreverence or insults directed at them.
  • Irresponsibility: Finds it distasteful when others do not take their duties seriously or attempt to evade their rightful responsibilities.
  • Skullduggery: Takes a dim view of people who employ underhanded and deceptive tactics to get their way.

Relationships

• As a fellow follower of Eothas, Xoti is infatuated with Edér from the moment they first meet.
• Xoti’s religious zeal causes Edér to keep his distance, but this can be addressed through specific companion banter.
  • After the banter that begins with «You’re a follower of the light?», Edér will seek advice from the Watcher.
  • Any response results in a resolution between Xoti and Edér, allowing them to become friends instead.
• If this situation plays out (or not), it will be reflected in Xoti’s end-game slides.

• Xoti and Maia can form a relationship through their mutual reputation likes.
• The Watcher learns about this through banter and conversations with Maia.
• Their relationship/breakup will reflect in Xoti’s end-game slides.

The Watcher

Xoti can be romanced if your reputation with her is positive 2 or higher. More ‘intimate’ dialogue options are available after she wakes up from the nightmare.

Buffs in Pillars of Eternity[]

In addition to a character’s base Survival, there are various ways to gain further bonuses. Some of these buffs are permanent or can be activated for as long as desired, while others must be enabled and then expire after their duration runs out. Some can only applied to the character themselves, while others apply to allies. Some buffs stack, others are mutually exclusive.

A character’s Survival score for a certain attack can benefit from the given number of bonuses from each of the following tables at the same time.

Unlimited – Permanently active once learned

Equipment

One only – While equipped

One only – Duration: see table

Resting

One only – Duration: see table

Setting and story[]

The game takes place in a brand new fantasy world, Eora. It is roughly based on 16th century medieval technology levels, where magic and power is determined by the quality of a person’s soul. The story takes place in a small nation in the world’s southern hemisphere called the Dyrwood (DEER-wood). The Dyrwood is a heavily forested, coastal region where colonial powers from across the ocean have settled and formed an uneasy relationship with the local residents, the Glanfathans, tribes of orlans and elves who are protective of the ancient ruins of Eir Glanfath on the forest’s interior. Eir Glanfath was the home of the Engwithans, an ancient melting pot of races that built elaborate, often massive, structures out of a living shell-like substance called adra. Though the fate of the ancient Engwithans is unknown, their dangerous and complex ruins show evidence they possessed extensive knowledge of how souls work. For this reason, all of the surrounding colonial powers aggressively fight for the chance to explore and plunder Engwithan ruins, often bringing the local tribes into conflict with their relatively new neighbors and the neighbors into conflict with each other.

The central character in the story is a newcomer to the Dyrwood, caught up in a bizarre supernatural phenomenon. This event puts them in a difficult position, where they must explore the new world to solve a series of problems that have been thrust upon them.

Cult[]

The cult of Ondra takes on many forms, the most noticeable of which are Ondra’s Giftbearers. They are a group which collects trinkets, love notes, and other objects from people that live far from the sea in exchange for a small fee. These objects are then cast into the ocean or dropped in a particularly deep spot during a special ceremony. There have been some cases of Giftbearers abusing their responsibility, which led to them being mistrusted or even attacked in some areas.

Of note is the secretive Abbey of the Fallen Moon, a remote cloister in the White March. Unknown to all but the highest ranking members of the cult and Giftbearers, it is built around the corpse of Abydon, the smithing god. It houses both the Salt Well, where the greatest burdens are forgotten, and the orders of High and Low Tides: the most revered ranks of Ondra’s faithful, dedicated to memory and forgetting. The order of the High Tide is responsible for the day-to-day operations and defense of the Abbey, as well as preparing for the Low Tide’s vows. The Low Tide is composed of Giftbearers who inhabit the Halls of Silence beneath the Abbey, where they submit to slow erasure of memory. Ultimately, they are sacrificed in the ritual of the Rising, where the Tidecaster selected by the Conclave arrives to drown them all and allow members of the High Tide to take the vows and inhabit the Halls below. Notably, many members of the Low Tide later regret their choices and the slow disintegration of their minds. Thus, the ritual is designed to prevent them from ever leaving the confines of the Abbey and revealing their secrets to the world beyond.

Rituals

The ritual of sprinkling holy water is one of the most important traditions in the Ondrite church. For Ondra’s followers, it signifies not only a sanctifying of the church, but the actual presence of the Lady of Lament herself. All Ondrite holy water comes from the ocean, and those pilgrims who convey the water from the sea are held in great esteem among Ondra’s faithful.

Melee weapons[]

Different melee weapons will have different attack speeds, but for most weapons will be categorized by their relative handedness and speed (Fast One-Handed, Large One-Handed, and Two-Handed). Fast one-handed weapons attack more frequently than large one-handed weapons. Two-handed Weapons are almost universally hard-hitting weapons, that can deal more damage per-hit than their one-handed counterparts, but you cannot use a shield with them or use a second weapon.

Fast one-handed weapons are particularly effective against enemies with low damage reduction and two-handed weapons are particularly effective against enemies with high damage reduction.

Fast one-handed

Large one-handed

Two-handed

Background[]

A trader from the Aedyr Empire, Heodan left home to expand his family’s mercantile enterprise, which had been taken over by his brothers. He decided for the Dyrwood, as being a former colony of his homeland, and chose the caravan of Odema to start with his efforts. Though he is the only one of his family who had to leave to build an existence, he doesn’t see himself in a disadvantage, and in his eyes all the siblings are working together for business’s sake.

Challenged by life on the road in a larger way than he expected, and constantly remembered by the «prickly locals» of the Dyrwood’s independency from the Aedyr, the simply but neatly clothed rogue’s trying to make the most of things by selling basic traveling supplies to the caravanners.
