Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-order Bonus

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is launching on May 8th, you can pre-order the game right now to get the following bonus items for free when the game launches!

• Beakhead, the Hawk (In-Game Pet): Beakhead, the white hawk, took a liking to your ship soon after you arrived in the Deadfire. Captains in the Deadfire are only as effective as their crew, and with this jaunty first-mate by your side you're bound to find success at sea.

• St. Drogga's Skull: the green flame of St. Drogga's Skull will not only guide you through the darkest reaches of the Deadfire but serve you in combat as well. Crafted from a sabre and the skull of a martyr, this deadly implement will both slash and burn enemies in combat.

• The Black Flag: This flag is said to have been flown by a mysterious and rowdy band of seadogs from a far-off land, who dyed their sails black with a stain made from ground-up dragon glass. Dark and intimidating, but somehow attractive, nonetheless.
