Yeah, anyone starting out in this game should probably get an Alchemist, because you'll be burning through a LOT of potions later on.

You're not my Dad you can't tell me what to do (even if it's probably a good idea). I'll admit my not planning to go for Alchemist/Alchemy is somewhat out of spite for how much it's being shoved at you, even if it's kind of cool. Basically Alchemist seems nice, but the only reason I'd expect it to be effective would be if they deliberately designed the game to be more painful without an Alchemist/Alchemy skill bitch. 50% less chance to have your gun explode just for pulling the trigger becomes redundant if/when you get 5 points in Firearms which removes jams entirely. Which you would probably rush for unless they locked crafting ammo behind 2 or 3 points of Alchemy. Which you would not be needing to craft in the first place if you were not an Alchemist gunslinger. Ingredients growing in your backpack is one of those things that sounds nice, but not really essential unless they lock basic required potions like cure poison from the last game behind alchemy skill points, or have an artificial shortage of potion ingredients to enemy supply/lots and lots of things breaking your limbs causing you to blow through healing potions faster than otherwise.

Brackhar posted:Thoughts on the different magic disciplines? Unlike the first game I've found a few of each type so it seems more balanced. I did find a spell that requires both Earth and Water so now I'm regretting putting those two skills on different characters. I wonder how many combo spells there are.

Oh, you can probably play through the game without one just fine, it's just that later on when you begin running into enemies and traps that can cause injuries or poison/disease it's really nice to have a couple extra potions lying around. I just figure he'd be useful for a first playthrough.

I'm probably going to regret this later but I'm really enjoying playing through on Ironman. Makes exploring a dungeon a lot more tense when you don't have that quickload safety net.

One thing I've noticed is that if you feed enough "right" food to a team-member, they'll get a stat increase. The ones I've found so far are eggs to lizardmen, cheese to ratlings and meat to Minotaurs. I'm guessing bread is for humans as well.

So if I cast a fire spell on a dude and the numbers are red instead of white, is that super effective or is that telling me that the spell type is ineffective? I genuinely can't tell. On a few enemies, it seemed like Shock was doing more damage than the fire spell when the number was red, but then other times (like on the little tree stump dudes), the number was red and I felt like I was really hurting them. Or alternatively, is it just a critical hit? Because if it is, then I'm not getting criticals on anybody but my sweet insectoid battlemage, Professor Stagcrown.

Green means they absorb the damage(This seems pretty rare and unique to elementals so far).

So a quick bit of feedback, the auto-save system likely doesn't fire as often as it needs to. I just lost about 45 minutes of progress while exploring the Forest because I expected there to be an auto-save on the transition down into a dungeon, but there wasn't one. Any time a level load happens it should likely auto-save. Also, Legend of NIMHrock is underway!

Welp, game's a blast so far, tho there have been a couple of puzzles I couldn't figure out, and now I'm totally stuck in a room and can't get out. I'm in the Ruins of Desarune. There was a puzzle involving teleporting a monster and some pressure plates. I solved the puzzle and got the item, but now I'm locked in this small area, all the doors out are shut with no visible means of opening them. Anybody got a hint for me if I can't figure this out? Here's a screencap of the map where I'm stuck. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/545259314603333600/227DAF373783F85B0F06D99CCEF746E00945BCA1/

Drop the spider into the correct room so it stands on the pressure plate, this should light up the other five pressure plates there. Now take note of which pressure plates have light on them, and drop items on top of those that do.

In the lower room there are no exits, I got into that area by falling from above. In the upper room there are two wooden doors and both are closed and I don't see any way to open them. Do you have to leave items on the pressure plates to be able to leave? Because of course I picked mine up.

Placing the items on the correct plates should open up the passage onwards on the upper floor.

To be more explicit, you haven't actually finished the puzzle, the puzzle ends with the eastern wooden door opening rather than obtaining an item.

I remade my party with less poor decisions, caught up to my first try in about 3 hours and it suddenly comes to light that the character I intended to be a rogue is actually a second fighter.  This game is so good though.

Snow Job posted:When does my mage get to cast spells? You'll get a fire spell scroll pretty quick, but if you don't have fire magic you can probably extrapolate how to cast the basic air and earth spells. Fire blast is the top left spell rune, spark is the top right rune, and poison is the bottom left rune.

Battle mage claims another victory over Wizards through means of Alphabetical order Zwiftef posted:Oh, for the guy that asked about duel wielding; you HAVE to get light weapons 3 to use it. Yeah, I got that much. But how does it work player input wise? Does it turn every attack you ever make into a dual wielding attack if you have the required amount of skill and proper weapons (which could be awkward if those charge filled zappy knives showed up again and you wanted it on hand just in case)? Is there a toggle that get's added? Does it cause a separate cooldown on each hand? All you are given to go on before you are that far, is "Dual wielding is a thing you can do. Dual wielding has a damage penalty." PS: when you are tired and using magic light instead of torch light, it's easy to walk past the same obvious wall button a dozen times needed to leave after solving the latest floor 9 puzzle  vvv Sweet, that sounds pretty manageable then.

Questions about the editor; when you subscribe to mods (extra levels) via Steamworks, where are those files on your computer? Part 2, can custom levels from LoG1 be opened in LoG2's editor? Part 3 are those mods "protected" or whatever. I want to start working on converting the best dungeon crawler ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Tidgg4jsY and there are 2 mods that have already started the first 3 levels or so. Bonus: check out about 2 minutes in to that vid for SO many character portraits that are straight up in LoG.  Especially minotaur.

Wow, I changed my dex-y alchemist from firearms at the back to put 3 points into light weapons and swapped him with my strength battlemage to the front with the punch-dagger, now he's gone from doing 8-17 when it didn't jam to critting for 130. Guess I'll chalk those skill points in firearms and the battlemages weapon skills up as a loss to learning curve, but man my party is just killer now.

According to comments in the official forums, you can't import LoG1 maps into LoG2 editor, but since they're just text files it should be easy for somebody to write a parser, and at least one person has started to do so.

The subscribed files are placed under Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/ Grimrock1 mods are not compatible with LoG2 although the source files are plain text so it might be possible for someone to create a converter that converts at least the basic things. To open a mod in the editor, you will need its source files: the downloaded .dat won't work.

Let's talk herbs. I've done a bit of research into how herbs grow in your Alchemist's inventory, and this is what I've seen so far: - Growth is directly linked to the number of tiles you've walked, as shown under "Statistics" when you press escape. - Herbs grow independently of each other. You can't give priority to one herb by removing all others from your Alchemist. - This also means there's no disadvantage to keeping all kinds of herbs at your alchemist at all times. - Number of herbs in your inventory doesn't matter. As long as you've got at least one of the specific kind, it will grow at the specified time. Here's the time between grows for the herbs: pre:Blooddrop Cap 850 tiles Etherweed 930 tiles Mudwort 1950 tiles Falconskyre 2500 tiles Crystal Flower 4500 tiles Blackmoss around 5500 or 11000 tiles, not sure yet http://pastebin.com/0wzqLr4C (devs, feel free to correct any misinformation here)
