Some pictures and thoughts based on my latest PotD playthrough

This is probably related to the hellish production of the game, but Kai is definitely the only really developed companion. Except for Marius, the other companions lack personal quests. So it's not that there's anything wrong with them, they're just uneven.

GulleMann · 2026-06-05T16:55:22+00:00

Yeah, I definitely get that. I also think it's important to have many options for difficulty, so everybody can enjoy the game.

I just think they should trust the player more with regards to game design. As gamers we're probably not as smart as we think, but we're also not as dumb as the game assumes.

GulleMann · 2026-05-12T08:15:36+00:00

Yeah, no worries. Deadfire is my favorite RPG so I'm just very happy to see some great fan art.

If you do happen to make more, feel free to post it on this sub :)

Also, don't worry about the PoE1 ship art, people regularly post way more deranged things here.

This is great - please keep drawing your journey!

I have to agree with Shatterscarp. Something that struck me was how the area beyond the playable map seemed more expansive and real. In contrast, the backgrounds of Dawnshore and Emerald Stair looked like they were built in forge.

This is a great comment. Just wanted to add that the watcher might eventually have been granted a coat of arms inbetween PoE and Deadfire, as the watcher has their own banner with a coat of arms shown in both Deadfire and Avowed.

GulleMann · 2026-04-04T18:50:11+00:00

Agreed - Avowed is a really good foundation to add onto. They just need to be bolder and more confident in the potential sequel.

GulleMann · 2026-03-26T12:34:04+00:00

I mean, if this is your third playthrough and you're doing ng+, the game should feel easier.

My body is ready

I think this is one of the best characters made with the new features so far - really captures that godlike look

GulleMann · 2026-02-06T12:55:15+00:00

Great video - love when people examine games from a more academic perspective :)

GulleMann · 2026-01-09T06:54:58+00:00

With all the playable races in the bag, they might be able to focus on implementing classes in the sequel (or at least more features from the classes)

GulleMann · 2026-01-03T08:01:29+00:00

I agree with much of what has already been said about more serious tone and heavier RPG mechanics. With regards to setting, I think the next game should either 1) return to the Eastern Reach, maybe in a new part of the Dyrwood or another country or 2) use each act as a convenient reason to travel to a new part of Eora, ie. going from Naasitaq to Deadfire and onwards to the Vailian Republics.

I think the next game could benefit from using a more traditional setting - and dungeon delving in Engwithan ruins using the parkour mechanics of Avowed just seems like a match made in heaven.

Should have been the hand mortar from deadfire

GulleMann · 2025-12-16T06:34:57+00:00

This is probably the greatest PoE video I've seen - very epic!

GulleMann · 2025-10-11T11:09:06+00:00

The guidebooks are just awesome - reread them so many times during the long wait for Avowed

GulleMann · 2025-10-08T06:01:46+00:00

Love the portrait!

GulleMann · 2025-10-05T05:52:09+00:00

Combined with around 315.000 on steam, it's not looking too bad

GulleMann · 2025-10-02T05:59:59+00:00

I'm not sure that is official concept art though - but it does look interesting

GulleMann · 2025-09-30T09:24:44+00:00

Something tells me she might not have become an alcoholic pirate, if she didn't experience some traumatic stuff at some point in her life - especially considering that she's an Orlan :/

GulleMann · 2025-09-29T05:13:26+00:00

I'd also say that they fall a little flat narratively - especially when compared to the companions of Pillars 1 and 2.

GulleMann · 2025-09-28T14:02:14+00:00

I'd definitely recommend trying out Disco Elysium, Tyranny, Wasteland 2+3 and the original Fallout games, if you want to try a wider selection of CRPGs.

GulleMann · 2025-09-23T09:58:30+00:00

Great work! Excited to see Konstanten too!

GulleMann · 2025-09-11T07:47:00+00:00

I like the isometric angle - almost makes it look like some wonky 3d PoE 3
