Thanks @Antimatter ! I would love to see someone else give it a shot at some point; The subclass and multiclass systems really provide this game with a ton of variety, and the world map is basically completely open once you reach Neketaka, allowing for a huge variety of approaches and routes, so...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Ashen Maw, The Final Maneuver, Ukaizo (Final Update) Since we're skipping the dragon battle, there's little combat at the Maw, and what there is is quite easy: Now, Hazanui Karu tasks us with killing the huana queen - I haven't done this all that often...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Hasongo, Old City, Faction Quests and Berkana's Folly At our levels, both Hasongo and the Old City didn't cause us any trouble at all - not much to say about these: After that, we travelled to Poko Kohara, where we took down the Engwithan Titan, first...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - North-Eastern Exploration and the remaining Bounties We start our trip to the north-east with the battle at the coal mine - getting a good hit with explosive barrels: This is how the ideal battlefield looks for us - the melee fighters trying and failing...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Southwestern Exploration, Lots of Bounties and Crookspur On the the southwest! This is where we will neccessarily lose our Banquets, finally - they've served us well. Frist, we get a guaranteed injury in the scripted event before entering Amira's Roost...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Return to Neketaka and Eastern Exploration Back in Neketaka, we first took down Lord Admiral Imp and Lady Epero - the latter being high level as per usual. However, this turned out to be a pretty easy battle, as I was able to get all melee foes to target...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Extended Southern Exploration We start taking ship and land bounties in the south, and right away, I can tell that these battles are not going to be easy. While our Unbroken easily does the tanking job, there's no big AoE to spam on the approaching foes -...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - The Great Questing Route (with a bonus early visit to the Old City) I still can barely believe that we made it to Neketaka without an injury - this will give us much needed levels and gear. The non-combat question goes very well, we get no random...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Act 1 Note that, unlike with my previous runs, updates for this one are actually up to date. The fact that I am writing about this one at all means that we got past Act 1, but other than that, I do not know how things will go - I've just arrived at...

Over all, I think this party could succeed. Our only decent perception score is only at 14, which is annoyingly low, but playable (I have used Mirke before as basically my only trap character, and while she failed to spot a few things, we did get through the game). I'm not worried about tanking...

Deadfire PotD with a randomized party - Introduction So, the idea: All five characters in the party are created through a step-by-step randomization process. Every gameplay-affecting element in character creation is fully randomized. Once we start the game, I get to make the choices. For stat...

Will, Priest of Berath, Final Update - Ukaizo Since we have everything we need for the Blackwood Hull now, we decide to skip picking a final faction quest, instead sailing directly to Ukaizo with that and the Dragonwing Sails, which be bought at the Reef. However, I did not know (or rather...

Will, Priest of Berath, Seventh Update - Splintered Reef and Nemnok All right - time for the two highest level quests/areas in the base game. A lot of the enemies here are scaled up to level 22 or even 23. At the Splintered Reef, we sneak out of the tavern to skip an avoidable battle at the...

Will, Priest of Berath, Sixth Update - Faction Quests and Northestern Exploration The main reason we're travelling to Poko Kohara right now is to obtain some Adra Ban - I want to upgrade at least one of our unique hunting bows to legendary. We're low on that resource mostly due to the Essence...

Will, Priest of Berath, Fifth Update - South-Western and North-Eastern Exploration plus some additional stuff The south-western exploration is easy enough to complete, even though we basically have no sources of dexterity afflictions to make killing Eotens any easier. We take on the Steel...

Will, Priest of Berath, Fourth Update - Lots of bounties, Berkana's Folly, Hanging Sepulchers We return to Neketaka and take down Katrenn, which goes a lot better than the last time. No AoE damage hitting neutral NPCs this time around, and, of course, the Essence Interruptor is a great weapon...

Will, Priest of Berath, Fourth Update - Eastern Exploration and a very early Crookspur Next up is a bit more eastern exploration, more ship battles and maybe some bounties. We rest with Captain's Banquets for the Ancient Death Guard and Frostseeker battles, land at Tikiwara for the local quests...

Will, Priest of Berath, Third Update - Southern Exploration and Return to Neketaka The upscaled principi ship battles take a toll on Wor, our Fury - will has to Widraw him during two of these. We also learn the limits of tankiness for Ursa, the bear pet - however, bonded grief is actually not...

Will, Priest of Berath, Second Update - Questing in Neketaka, Fort Deadlight, Dunnage and Motare o Kozi We sail to Neketaka - it was a bit of a dangerous journey because we had to avoid both Diccala and a Crookspur Slaver on the way, but I saw them early enough to prevent an encounter. Now...

Will, Priest of Berath, First Update - The Digsite We get to level 3 and rest with some food buffs before starting the first battle, pulling back our foes a bit. Gore nearly kills Mar's animal companion, Ursa, but we have a lot of healing - two paladins with Lay on Hands, a single-class priest...
