Yeah I was like "I'm not doing this poo poo" after I had tried in vain to extract some eggs from a wall of text and just moved my guys to the next screen. Co-incidentally, there was also a way to finish that quest afterwards so whatever.

Stealth is worthless in this game. Worse than worthless really. Just a complete waste. DO NOT STEALTH. Your options are combat, dialogue, and special interactions like death. (death is often a very good means of overcoming obstacles btw) Stealth in this game is a sick joke that I specced heavily for before realizing how actively detrimental it was. Most crisises are time sensitive and stealth just wastes turns.

One case off the top of my head:Letting the Ghostly Woman in the Fifth Eye Tavern choke you to death starts a very important quest.

Also there's that time you can let the weird death cult eat you. That was rad as hell.

OK thanks everyone. I'll suffer through the level again and just leave if I can't manage to get all the eggs and see how things go from there.

If you die in the battle sequence in your mindscape where you have to fight through all the different castoffs, you skip it and instead go to a special location and get a decent cypher and find a familiar face. Theres even a dialogue option in the first conversation that kills you to make it quick and easy. Theres actually a few more times I can remember too. Like I said, its surprisingly useful.

I don't think it'd change during or after the investigation either. Do you mean the Death's Gate or whatever they're called?

Finished the game on saturday. I was one of that target group of inXile that "still had TTON on their wishlist" but needed a sale/free weekend. I wasn't a backer so paying full Steam price didn't feel like a good idea with the mixed reviews. Certainly worth the 20 eur, good experience. It just required to adjust my expectations for what it offers and what it doesn’t. Started it almost right after Divinity: OS2 so the very unfriendly start of this game was quite off-putting. However, once Sigus Falls opens up and it’s not just weird for the sake of weird, I started to quite like it. I didn’t even mind the combat system and mechanics as such, it’s just that the encounters were mostly bad. Good thing that the combat was rather easy or at least my party of Nano-Erritis-Matkina-Oom was pretty good in it (didn't fail/re-load any combat crisis after first try of the Fifth Eye encounter). Pretty good writing, very interesting places to visit, just all in all a bit lacking in various points. One of the main accomplishments of this game was probably that it got me invested in restarting Planescape Torment… It was my favourite game when it was new, and I bought it again as EE-version this spring but I got “stuck” because my dudes were somehow totally underpowered for Pharod’s catacombs. But now after finishing Tides I just went back there with a pretty straight-forward mindset and now a few levels later it works just fine. But if someone is saying that combat is not relevant in PST then god drat because there is poo poo load of combat and better just min-max it like always.

Is there any way to increase your walk speed? It's irritatingly slow to get around.

Are there any really common or easily avoidable bugs left in this game that it'd be useful to know going in for the first time?

Fairly early on, there's a quest where you go into a building and have to deal with a hive of ai drones. If you leave and then come back, it can make the quest impossible to turn in.
