Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Backer Beta Live Q&A With Josh Sawyer

Prior to launching the Backer Beta for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Obsidian Entertainment held a livestreamed Q&A session on Twitch with the game’s director Josh Sawyer, where he covered such topics like the ongoing changes to Deadfire’s world map, multiclassing and how unique class-specific dialogue options work with it, encounter design, and more.

Thanks to the Q&A we now know that Deadfire’s Beta will be similar in scope to the original Pillars of Eternity’s Beta and feature a few outdoor areas and a dungeon, and that it will be available “soon.” During the livestream you could also see some Deadfire fan art and even some Beta gameplay, so you might want to check it out just for that.

Here’s the VOD:
