Blockhouse posted:Okay, the only way to decide which of my many many many PoE 1 characters I'm going to bring into 2 is to just post in the thread and have you people tell me what to do so I don't have to make decisions at all. Should I start with: Wood Elf Ranger/Rogue (sharpshooter/assassin) IMO. Ultimate ranged glass cannon. Open with an arquebus shot from stealth and absolutely demolish something then switch to pistols or a war bow or something. Actually that sounds like a really fun build and I might use it when I import my rogue save. (thoughts on the rest of the list: Pale Elf Rogue: multi with paladin or barbarian I guess? idk. Pale Elves are cool, though. Hearth Orlan Cipher: go back to Dunryd Row, cop. Death Godlike Paladin: 2edgy4me (don't lie, it's obviously a bleak walker) Fire Godlike Monk: solid, but I'm at a loss for multiclass ideas.)

It may sound odd but one of the only things I care about being able to choose (given that I have no save to import) is that The Master Below was allowed to possess and leave Caed Nua in the body of Falanroed, the dragon-hunter because that feels like something which should have consequences. I wonder if the game reflects a 'be nice to all dragons' thing. Hm.

The only dragon I kinda felt bad about killing was the Sky Dragon but drat if you didn't want humans to bother you, maybe not do a first strike attack on them? I also didn't kill the bog dragons since that person didn't seem particularly evil. The real troll would have been revealing non-possessed Falanroed would be a companion/sidekick, which I think would still have been pretty cool.

The one thing in the OP that speaks to me is less load-times. Seriously this is one quest with 11 loading screens because it's spread across so many maps: "Rogue Knight" Dozens-Copperlane-First Fires-Crucible-First Fires-Brackenbury-Dunryd Row-Second Floor-Dunryd Row-Brackenbury-Copperlane-Dozens. What influenced my choice in a quest in POE1 wasn't the morality of my options like New Vegas, but rather taking which option that had the least amounting of waiting.

You'll be even happier then because the game also allows you to directly travel to major sub locations in city maps. So as one example you could go straight to the Crucible Keep skipping your walk through First Fires.

Iymarra posted:I wonder if the game reflects a 'be nice to all dragons' thing. Hm. But all the dragons but the Sky Dragon are verifiable arseholes. I suppose the ones with Llengrath are okay, but you can’t kill Llengrath without fighting them, so unfortunately they’re damned by association. Some dragons just need slaying.

tithin posted:So what's going on, can I get a cliffnotes on the drama? The fact that he's started doing this now, right before PoE2 launches, and when there's Pathfinder: Kingmaker (an isometric RPG which he worked on) coming out later this year is surely a pure coincidence. Also note that he has yet to take any responsibility himself for whatever problems there were. In every single post he made it's always someone else's fault. Even if the stuff Avellone's saying has a core of truth to it, his posts are exaggerated, distorted and one-sided. So basically all we really found out is that Avellone is an rear end in a top hat. Which really we already kind of knew, just not that he was this big of an rear end in a top hat. Raygereio fucked around with this message at 12:41 on May 6, 2018 |

Raygereio posted:After keeping his mouth mostly shut and only doing the occasional mudslinging at the "upper management" at Obsidian for three years, Avellone suddenly decided to open floodgates and fling poo poo at pretty much everyone he ever worked with at Obsidian. Also worth pointing out that he's doing this on RPGCodex, where (almost) everybody seems to either adore or worship him. It's also a forum that is a-okay with the use of slurs and open racism.

To really get the ambience of that thread across, I should point out that it periodically devolves into arguments about the merits, or lack thereof, of communism

Kith posted:I'm extremely sad that Blunderbusses lost access to the Penetrating Shot modal. It was easily their best talent and an enormous force multiplier. The whole way penetration works changed anyway so this isn't as big a deal as it might seem. Lack of access to gunner and marksman passives for non-rangers is a bigger issue.

Ok, trying to pull the convo back from 'why is everybody who has ever achieved even a small bit of power in life a complete fuckshit' Any knowledge on new Soulbound stuff? Is my level going to get adjusted when I transfer my Paladin? Because I'm starting to build momentum again and I just might finally beat PoE/WM in time to actually buy the game the day it comes out.

You start at level one and get to re-pick everything. Should put that in the OP - or maybe even the thread title.

I'm thinking of doing a Darcozzi/Soul Blade for my first run. With Soul Blade mostly focusing on damaging powers (since those seem to have fast cast times and the other party members I plan on bringing can handle status effects). For those who played the backer beta, any tips or stuff to pay attention to? Furism posted:It seems to me that by "upper management" MCA really means "Feargus Urquhart".

Im gonna make my PC a rogue/cipher. I'm gonna go with beguiler but what rogue subclass works best? Stealth seems poor so assassin is out. And the trickster downside seems too much. Street fighter seems ok? Am I missing anything?

How's the writing in PoE2? PoE's merciless mountains of exposition and worldbuilding history got grating barely an hour or two into the game. I was much more a fan of Tyranny. Any indication as to how PoE2 is turning out?

Street fighter seems ok? Am I missing anything? Pairing with Cipher, I'd go Assassin if ranged or no subclass if melee. Cipher and rogue are both inherently squishy so I don't think a Streetfighter is a great idea there.
