I adore Deadfire as well - it's relative lack of success is really sad. I even like the main story - I can see why some people don't (in the end you don't really affect the outcome much), but I really love the plot and the involvement in the Gods. Given the PoE 1 relevation it is a bit ironic that the gods in Deadfire feel more like gods than in pretty much every other cRPG I played.
