PILLARS OF ETERNITY 2 SWITCH FULL
I wanted weapon switching to be a bit more of an option (taking up a full turn is very limiting) but also still be a bit punishing so you have to really want to use it. Quick Switch talent now ameliorates this accuracy penalty to -10, increased by 1 every level.īlack Jacket subclass: No change from base game.

That struck me as a little too punishing for what I wanted, so I've also set the effect to clear if you score a graze, hit or crit. Note that due to how turn-based mode translates time into turns and rounds, the effect will actually be present for 2 rounds- the round when you switch weapons and trigger the effect, and the round after. So at level 1 switching weapons gives you -20 Accuracy, at level 2 it gives you -22, at level 3 it gives you -24, etc.ĭuration: One round for each time you switch. Penalty: -20 Accuracy, additional -2 per level. If you switch again in the same turn, the duration is increased.

This ability makes weapon switching a free action, and gives you an Accuracy penalty. When in turn-based mode, all characters except Black Jacket Fighters are autogranted the passive ability "Tactical Weapon Switch" at character creation (or, in the case of companions, when you first meet them). THE PLAYER CHARACTER MUST CONTINUE TO SUFFER WHOLE-TURN WEAPON SWITCHING UNTIL YOU BEGIN A NEW GAME OR RETRAIN! However, Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently hinted the existence of another mystery project that’s apparently in Obsidian’s pipelines right now.NOTE: THIS MOD'S EFFECTS ARE APPLIED WHEN A CHARACTER IS ADDED TO YOUR PARTY- TO PUT IT ON EXISTING PARTY MEMBERS, REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR PARTY AND THEN RE-ADD THEM. Following the success of The Outer Worlds, especially on Xbox Game Pass, the developer announced Grounded as its next in-development project. Obsidian Entertainment now hails as one of Microsoft’s first-party studios. For those unaware, Deadfire is available on Steam in all of its glory. The game will be the same across all three consoles apart from notable performance metrics. Frey has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch version will not receive any exclusive features.

This will be the Ultimate Edition, containing every piece of content and update released for the PC version in the past two years. Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is scheduled to release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 28, 2020. Hence, understandable as to why the developer is requiring additional time to optimize (or finish) the game on the hybrid console. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One still offer beefier specifications when compared to Nintendo Switch. Frey though did note that trying to ensure good performance on limiting hardware was a challenge. Neither did he offer any timelines as to when fans can expect Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire to release for Nintendo Switch.

The issues that I mentioned with consoles are significantly multiplied on the Switch.įrey didn’t offer any further details as to how far development has proceeded for Nintendo Switch. Hence, why Obsidian Entertainment has been refraining from mentioning a release date for the hybrid console. All of these development issues were “significantly multiplied” for Nintendo Switch. Frey noted that trying to port Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for consoles while the PC version was still in development was extremely tedious. In addition, eying an “ultimate” release meant that the console developers had to wait for finalized changes or content from the main PC developers on a regular basis. This was primarily because the game was never meant (built) to be released for consoles. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were practically created with a new codebase based off the PC version. Speaking with SegmentNext in a recent interview, production director Alec Frey revealed how difficult it was to bring Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire over to consoles. Unfortunately, those awaiting any news about the Nintendo Switch release will have to wait further for an undetermined period. Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire will be releasing officially for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at the end of the month.
