![]() My approval with him is still at 0, and was even at -1 at one point until I reloaded and kicked him out of the party for that particular scene xD (everyone else I cart around has been at +2 for ages). He was one of my favourite characters in 1 (2nd after Zahua), and my Watchers were always really kind to him, which he arguably doesn't deserve at all, yet in Deadfire, he's an aloof, judgemental git. Aloth however, feels completely different. I always play male characters and Eder felt the same to me as in 1. ![]() Or please, for the love of god, patch him if this is a bug! Give us our friend back. I don't expect to get the answer "why", but I talked to other fans about this, and we agreed that it feels extremely disappointing, what was done with Edér, and perhaps if we provide feedback, then it will help Obsidian somehow in the future. It's definitely not the Edér I was so excited to meet before the Deadfire release, and the change is so drastic and so inexplicable, that almost feels like the most beloved character was deliberately sabotaged as some kind of a cruel joke. Like maybe Leaden Key kidnapped him and replaced with a depressing clone. TL/DR (and personal feelings ): I feel like this is not Edér. So it's the dead girlfriend and he will never love again. For some reason she's suddenly the only person he could talk about things that worry him, but not the Watcher, who he never had problems sharing his thoughts with before. His sudden fixation on Elafa after 20 years seems rather artificial and forced. Indeed, like Tekehu noted, Ngati weeps for such wasted potential. And his actions say he does care about the Watcher, but he says he never thought about it? I just find it hard to believe. Edér feels stuck and depressed for some reason, and it's never explained why is he like this, or why does he act like an old man whose life will end tomorrow? (He's only 37 years old, if it's true he was 32 in the first game).Īfter Elafa told Edér (in the short story) to find someone who would love him, giving him a romantic arc seemed like a logical choice, especially after everything he's been through with the Watcher. Is this a midlife crisis? It feels so dissatisfying, especially comparing to Aloth, who strides forward boldly. So instead of going forward with personal development, Edér apparently goes 20 years back. It seems more logical for him to have a quest to find Eothas and finally get the answers about Woden and Saint's War, but instead he's chasing his dead ex girlfriend, who dumped him twice, told him to move on and find someone who will appreciate his soft heart, and clearly moved on herself, married someone and had a son. Maybe it's a bug, because it doesn't make any sense to me. He seemed determined and empowered, but in Deadfire he seems depressed all of a sudden. The epilogue noted his optimism and strong desire to help people. In Pillars 1 Edér ended up a mayor in my game. I miss him waking my Watcher up and promising a bucket of water. Before he won me over by being very caring and attentive to my character, but now his friend shares the soul with his god, and he's so indifferent to it. Edér doesn’t feel like your old buddy who've been through all sorts of things with you, like dragons, gods, jumping into the endless pit, etc. I'll try to abstain from my emotions and talk about what bothers me in the way Edér is written in Deadfire, because I need to talk about it.Īs much as friendship with Edér was satisfying in the first game, as much it's disappointing now. First of all: I hope this won't be seen as a hate thread.
