This was an earlier concept of the game which had different stats. I still like the name Rogue Castle though. We changed it to Rogue Legacy later on to better represent what the game actually was.

Originally, the game was called Rogue Castle. Also these notes aren’t in chronological order. Additional notes were made as development of Rogue Legacy progressed, but they were more specific to individual issues that arose during production. ***A lot of these notes were for the preliminary design. So for this game, the concept was literally being made in conjunction with the tools that would be required to build it. It was during this time when the majority of the core for Rogue Legacy was designed. Rogue Legacy required about 2 month of time to develop a basic engine and level editor to support the game we wanted to make. Once you expand to a larger development team, things might fall apart. We’re two brothers who worked with one another at home, and we used Skype to communicate with the artist and musicians. This is also NOT how standard games are made. Not only are they barely legible, but these are much, much lamer. Mirrored Image and Llengrath's Displaced Image can provide long-lasting defensive buffs, allowing the normally-squishy Rogue into an evasive tank on Pillars of Eternity 2's frontline.These aren’t your standard design notes.

#ROGUE LEGACY BEST BUILD FREE#
While this does leave less Guile to spend on the Rogue's basic Abilities, the benefit more often outweighs the cost.Īs well as offensive spells, the Arcane Trickster also has access to a few defensive buff spells, most of which can be cast as a Free Action. Although they deal less Sneak Attack damage, a Trickster Rogue can guarantee their Sneak Attacks much more often by providing their own debuffs.Ĭlassic Pillars of Eternity Illusion spells like Arkemyr's Dazzling Lights or Ryngrim's Repulsive Visage will spread Afflictions over a large area, allowing the Rogue to pick off their weakened foes with powerful Sneak Attacks. One of the best subclasses for single-class Rogues in Pillars of Eternity 2 is the Trickster, which adds a splash of Deadfire's Illusion magic to the Rogue's Abilities.

#ROGUE LEGACY BEST BUILD FULL#
This offensive ability, combined with the Paladin's toughness, allows the Executioner build to take full advantage of the extra damage from Stealth that the Assassin offers. The Bleak Walker is a subclass for the classic Paladin class that is all about the Flames of Devotion Ability, adding 20% damage as Burn and 12% damage as Corrode to the already powerful Full Attack. As a bonus, Cipher Abilities don't use a per-rest resource, allowing this build to continue fighting at full effectiveness even after the rest of the party has burned all their class resources. With Abilities like Whispers of Treason and Ringleader, boosted by the Beguiler's unique passive, this build can consistently guarantee Crits against Charmed enemies. The great strength of the Debonaire Rogue is a 100% Hit to Crit conversion against Charmed enemies, and although the subclass comes with an Ability that will allow them to Charm, the Beguiler Cipher is much better at it. This combination, known as the Mindstalker, can use the Rogue's high damage output to supercharge the Cipher's Focus, allowing them to cast their Abilities much more often.Ī particularly good Mindstalker combo is the Debonaire Rogue subclass with the Beguiler Cipher, due to their shared focus on Charm and mind-affecting Abilities. While the Rogue pairs well with almost any other class in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, its synergy with the soul-powered Cipher is particularly strong.
