The companions Obsidian have chosen to bring back all have some kind of personal stake in the divine events of Deadfire – and nobody has a horse in the race like Edér. The first name you’ll recognise belongs to… Bit of a full stop in the old ‘personal development’ diary, that one. They’ve been living with the consequences of your influence on them – whether you nudged them in a particular philosophical direction or, er, got them killed. The few familiar faces in the Pillars 2 companion roster have spent the last few years outside your orbit. Who are the returning companions from Pillars of Eternity? We will update this guide with those details once Obsidian makes them available.Word to the wise: if you haven’t finished Pillars 1 yet, you might be better off skipping straight to the section that doesn’t concern any specific companions. There is no word yet if the same will apply on consoles if the sequel gets a console port to follow the Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition. The touch added for players who haven’t played the first is lovely. Once the game releases, the game will walk you through the options to migrate your save. In all cases, you’ll begin as a level 1 character.If you’ve never played Pillars of Eternity, during the introduction to Deadfire, you will be able to make choices from Pillars of Eternity as though you had played through the game, similar to the Mass effect series.


For many CRPG enthusiasts, the reveal of Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire was a wonderful surprise.
