Pillars of Eternity 1, Part 15: Cleaning Things Up and Starting Act 2

A lot of this video involves our introduction to Defiance Bay, a town filled with criminals that were tuned for players who came here immediately after the dead dwarf sent you to Maerwald, who opened the gate at Caed Nua and bopped on over to Defiance Bay at maybe Level 3 or 4. Not the Level 8 regional hero that defeated Raedric and the cultist threat at Dyrford village. I don't want to murder every person in Defiance Bay -- but they seem committed to the bit.

We help a nice lady leave a drug dealing dick, help a kid find a dagger, and do a few other things around town.

I wasn't expecting another character to join in Act 2, I should have though since older games seem to enjoy just dropping characters on you whenever they want, instead of giving you a party to work with. But, it looks like we have a Paladin that we can make a more traditional sort than Lorrista the Ballista. Well, maybe. I do like weird things.
