00:08Becker Update 46
00:09Hello everyone and welcome to Becker Update 46
00:11I'm Mikey Dowling, the PR Manager at Obsidian
00:14We're just 2 weeks away from the launch of Deadfire, on May 8th
00:17And we're very excited for you to get your hands on the game
00:20The team's been hard at work finalizing Pillars 2
00:24And for this update, and we know it's been a while
00:27We wanted to highlight some of the really cool features that they wanted to share with you, so enjoy
00:32Spark Crackers
00:33Spark Crackers are a wonderful minor explosive that can be used to distract NPCs and monsters
00:38Pulling them toward the source of the noise
00:40Though they won't stay at the location for long, the brief distraction may be long enough to sneak by them
00:45Or to set up a fireball in the middle of a bunch of explosive barrels
00:48Like lead designer Bobby Knoll does here on his solo playthrough
00:52Reverse Pickpocketing
00:53Sometimes it's best to start a fight off with a bang
00:56Because we're all such fans of classic Fallout pranks
00:59Reverse Pickpocketing explosives found its way into Deadfire
01:03Here, area designer John Cotto sneaks up behind an NPC to pickpocket them
01:07Plants a bomb in their coin purse
01:09And walks a safe distance away
01:10Naming Ships
01:13Although you start out on a humble Deerwodian ship named the Defiant
01:16You have the ability to rename any of your ships as you see fit
01:20Thanks to programmer Robby Altadero's magic
01:22Your ship name will now also appear on the side of your ship as soon as you change it
01:27Charge
01:29Charge can be devastating on the battlefield
01:30And gives quick mobility to a class that generally spends a lot of time standing in place
01:35As QA tester Andy Arch shows off for us
01:42Naming Islands
01:44Some of the islands in the Deadfire Archipelago have not been given formal names
01:48Even by the local Juana
01:49If you clear an uncharted island of all of its hazardous, monstrous residents like community manager Eric Dorbella does here
01:56You'll be able to name the island and see it reflected on the world map
02:01Voiced Dialogue
02:03Akira
02:04What a surprise I say
02:06But no one told me that Envoys of Rawatai landed on Tikawawa
02:11Spell Retargeting
02:13Don't forget, that target you wanted to cast a spell on move?
02:17Retarget and hit them with all you got
02:23NPC Animations
02:24The world of Aeora comes to life even more thanks to Zack Spurlock's ambient animations
02:34Menagerie
02:35This upgrade to your ship allows you to hang out with all the pets you find in the Deadfire
02:41Broom
02:42Clean up trash mobs with this handy broom
02:48Talking Sword
02:49But my owner, she was really great
02:53I mean, is really great
02:55Her calluses felt so good on my grip
02:59Oh, I can do things with a sword you wouldn't believe
03:04Sea Shanties
03:06Leave away my landry
03:10Big Head Mode
03:12Because Josh Sawyer loves Big Head Mode
03:16Pillars 2 has plenty of hidden gems like the features that we just showed you
03:19And we cannot wait for you to dive into it
03:21When you get to explore the Deadfire Apelago in just two short weeks
03:25Now we have had a lot of announcements since our last update
03:28And we wanted to make sure that we shared some of them with you here
03:31First up, we are doing full VO for every conversation in the game
03:36This is a huge effort and it makes a world of a difference when you get to hear it in
03:40action
03:41Second up, we have our partnership with Critical Role
03:44Now we are able to bring in these incredibly talented actors
03:47To play key characters in Deadfire
03:49And on top of that, give a free DLC
03:52That allows you to have Vox Machina voice sets and player portraits
03:56So you can create a Vox Machina party on your own
03:59Third, we have the Deadfire Scavenger Hunt
04:01You may have seen some codes pop up here and there
04:04So make sure that you go to the site in the description below
04:07So you can redeem those codes and get some awesome loot for Deadfire when it comes out on May 8th
04:11Also be sure to follow our social media channels and subscribe to our YouTube channel
04:16So you can get all further updates for Deadfire between here and launch
04:19Until next time watchers
