grrarg posted:Looking at this again in the light of day, I remembered that rope kid said that the War Bow tooltip is wrong. It is slower than the Hunting Bow. Use an Estoc and an Arbalest. Open with Blinding Strike with your Arbalest, switch to your Estoc and maim some dudes. Easy peasy.

In addition, I wonder if the Scepter really is an Average interrupt weapon. My bow druid who auto attacked most fights had a surprisingly high amount of damage done so I'm experimenting with a rod rogue at the moment to go along with maces. Just started but it looks promising.

Looking at those posted weapon stats, why would you ever use the arquebus over the arbalest? It looks worse at practically everything.

So my main dude is afflicted with a myriad of ailments that I can't shift. Actually, my whole squad was, luckily swapping them out and then back in clears their problems. Googling this tells me other people have had the problem but with no known fix. How hosed am I? Anyone sorted this bug?

It seems the most common reason is "guns are cool". Lasher posted:So my main dude is afflicted with a myriad of ailments that I can't shift. Your priest has a whole bunch of spells that cure status ailments. Use them on your PC and you should eventually get rid of most of them. The same thing happened to me. Note: some of those spells are combat only so you'll have to start a fight to cure your dude.

The only thing I can see is that factoring in DR you can come out slightly ahead on an arquebus if you're doing 1 shot to open battle and then switching to melee weapons.

Octo1 posted:In my testing, Interrupting Blows does not seem to have any effect on the interrupt roll, at least as displayed in the combat log. Was just testing that myself. If you're using the cheatengine fix for the stat-stacking, and go into stats / attack multipliers, there's a value called interrupt multiplier. Taking the talent changes it from 1 to 1.15, so that's definitely what's being modified. Tried setting it to more extreme values to see if anything changes doesn't illuminate anything: a really high value (20) resulted in a lower interrupt bonus in the combat log, a moderate value of 4 didn't show any results in the combat log, and nothing visible like a 4x length interrupt animation.

Hey, can a gun paladin work mechanically? I'm interested in rifling it up and maybe creating totally-not-oda-nobunaga the bleak walker but I'm unsure if it's at all viable.

This is pretty much all you use arquebuses for though. e: although at base stats arquebuses are exactly even with arbalests in terms of damage per shot against something with high DR but also have less accuracy and don't prone on crit StashAugustine fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Mar 31, 2015 |

Paladins dont do much damage and they are better at the frontlines, but a paladin who opens with his gun and then runs into the fray totally works. Another way to make it work is have your paladin in the backline shooting stuff while also having a second set of meele weapons in case someone tries to go for your squishies in the back. Anyone noticed loading times getting worse as the game goes on? right now in Defiance Bay its taking 20 seconds to load every area which gets annoying when you are entering houses and poo poo all the time I think there might also be a paladin order that gives bonuses to arquqbuses? im not sure though

Even then the arbalest's base damage means it will be better in most situations, especially when you factor in damage modifiers. I guess the arquebus would be slightly better if you had really low Might, but then you probably wouldn't be attacking anyway. Come to think of it, it would be neat if guns had higher base damage than other ranged weapons but weren't affected by Might. That way they would be a good choice for support characters, while dedicated ranged builds would still get more use out of bows.

So anyone have any good Orlan char art? Elves and dwarves and whatnot are generally pretty easy to find but the unique races seem a little trickier then just a google image search or searching deviantart

Does it matter what party member is in the lead position for determining npc attitudes and dialogue like in the old IE games? Or is it just the main character that matters regardless of where they are in the formation?

Take the talents (remember rakhan field, intense flames) that boost your flames of devotion and then play rogue twice an encounter with a double-strength flaming headshot. There are plenty of classless talents that boost guns or ranged attack generally. Of those, accuracy may be the biggest deal: the differences between graze, hit, and crit, are quite noticeable. (abilities: zealous focus, sworn enemy, maybe hastening exhortation and coordinated attacks - haven't tested if those two boost paladin as well; talents: weapon focus for the gun you want, marksman, gunner, penetrating shot, possibly shot on the run). Try and have a chanter around for the level 2 faster reload chant if you're going pure backline gun-paladin.

What talents should I take as a cipher? Already got biting whip and +2 focus per hit. +10 max and backlash look pretty lackluster.

I'm about 30 hours in and really enjoying this game a lot- but realized something I hate about a lot of RPGs: Can there be more than 1 theme/score music for combat? The same song coming on again and again gives me a headache- especially when it's this excitable "pay attention" beat and it's playing over a really routine filler fight. Could there be like a "yeah this is easy for you" theme, a "this should really test you" theme, and a "just run away!" theme?

Hell, dump con to 3 if you want. It's made up for by Resolve and items later on. Hieronymous Alloy posted:What type of cipher? For guncipher, ruffian weapon set and penetrating shot work well. I'm pretty much just using whatever is cool atm. Right now I have a nice sword and flail for melee with a fine bow for ranged. Probs gonna get me a gun though.

Ending Question about Lord Raedric: I killed Lord Raedric. After a while undeads from Raedric Keep attacked my stronghold. After the ending, the game told me Lord Raedric became undead and killed everyone in Gilded Vale. Is there any way to change that ending by re-killing Raedric or something?

Stupid melee centric rogue second guessing. The initial blind attack is pretty baller, but I keep looking at that hobble and thinking 'TWO times an encounter man, TWO!' Since even a verify and a few restarts of my computer hasn't gotten achievements working, I suspect in the future after the initial hotfix I'll get intimate with the console commands if those can poof basic mundane weaponry into existence later in the game because when I have piles of gold but can't find X weapon for sale conveniently then gently caress it. Broken Cog posted:Being deadpan honest in this game is hilarious. So many people become pissed at you, and I'm getting so much gear from bandits and villains that attack me when I tell them I've foiled their plans. This is my favorite kind of honesty. Along with to 'no I'm serious' with poo poo that sounds sarcastic but your adventure life is just so bonkers that you consider it a matter of course/you are referencing something that has happened. On that note, I do wish the Godlike could have given a "We can't HAVE kids, you idiot" when you first hit town.

What exactly does reputation with the various towns do? Other than a decent reputation being necessary for a certain quest, I don't think I've ran into a single instance of it mattering for anything, anywhere. I could even do missions for the mafia guys, even though my reputation with them was classified as "Terror".

Obsidian should really get around to integrating Alpha Protocol with Pillars of Eternity. Comedy Spy Thriller, but now with Fantasy!Section Z posted:

Also everyone should clear level 2 of The endless Paths as soon as they can, because you can find a Tiny white Wyrmling companion there.

Crossbow (Slow) = 8 hits per minute War Bow (Avg) = 15 hist per minute Hunting Bow (Fast) = 22 per minute (Josh said description needs updating, it says "Average) Rapier (Fast) = 33 hpm Dagger, Flail, Torch (Fast) = 31 hpm Sword, Battleaxe (Average) = 22 hpm Great Sword, Quarterstaff, Pike, Estoc (Slow) = 22 hpm Can someone explain why Fast Hunting bow is the same speed as Average 1-handed Sword and Slow 2-handed Great Sword? This is making comparing things pretty drat obtuse. On the other hand, I realized that torch is actually competitive with other weapons due to it's +10% burning lash. Might have to start using it.

Are you sure paladins are that terrible damage dealers? With a 2-hander mine was pumping out some good amount of damage and was keeping up and surpassing others quite easily.

I'm really torn over what weapon type to use with my priest. I initially wanted to use a mace to crush things, but now I'm debating using a ranged weapon. I'm mostly concerned about being able to cover my allies and enemies with my AoE spells. I have 19 intelligence so I should be able to reach most allies/enemies even if I hang back a few feet and shoot dudes, right?

Being clever and annoying the Adra Dragon is pretty cool, and also about the only satisfaction you can get out of that encounter unless your all geared to poo poo and want to spend hours figuring it out. Is that the hardest fight in the game?
