Is level scaling something I want to play with?

It depends on how comfortable you are with what will probably be a gradual decline in difficulty over the course of the game. I'm using it after my experience with the first game.

Having some annoyance with the AI scripting. I'm running an Assassin/Beguiler, and I've got Eyestrike and Crippling Strike set to cast on enemies with no afflictions (Specifically "Target: Has Affliction(s)" with the Not box checked), but my dude proceeds to run up on an enemy, Crippling Strike that one person three times in a row, and then stands around and casts Eyestrike constantly until out of focus. Is the AI not working properly, or am I missing something?

Has anyone successfully recruited Fassina yet? I did her little side quest and I'm not getting the option, wondering if I did it wrong or if there's something else I have to do first.
I could recruit her after I did the quest that has you steal a stone tablet from Arkemyr. She can be involved in that quest, so I guess that's why you can't recruit her before finishing it.

So what does the mod actually do? I cant check it while im at work.

normally when you click 'close to board' in ship combat you take heavy damage

this makes it so you take no damage and just start fighting

its for people who don't like ship combat and would rather just fisticuffs the other captain

Are you putting a cooldown on that conditional set? Sounds like you left it at the default of 0 so it's spamming it constantly. I usually use 15-20 as default and raise it if needed.

But if it checks to see if the target does or does not have a particular affliction, it shouldn't cast Eyestrike repeatedly unless all of them missed.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I'm like 90% sure that it can only be changed at game start.

Lucky for me I was going to restart that run ANYWAY because of the save import bugs. Dare I hope there's a hotfix (even a Steam beta?) today?

I didn't know there was a cosmic cat pet but trying, well, COSMIC CAT as a code worked.
So now I've got a cosmic cat, a cosmic dog, a cosmic bird and two cosmic pigs, one of which is a pirate.

I'll never forgive Obsidian for killing off zombie cat, but this lessens the pain.


Also, found the first Wizard spells you can't learn regularly:

Ninagauth's Teachings is a grimoire in Arkemyr's Mansion. In a chest with a difficulty 10 (I think) lock, I had to cheat to even be able to open it and will have to come back to get the grimoire legitimately later.

If you want to raise Mechanics, you can purchase burglar's gloves at the tailor shop and thieve's putty and the magic item shop, both in the same zone as arkemyr's.

There's a few misfires about companions, mostly about Eder. It's not affecting my experience overmuch but your mileage may vary.

Can't post for 3 hours!
So far I've played for about 15 hours and restarted 3 times. So good game. It's already hooked me faster than the first one did.

My only issue is I'm having issues with my mouse but I don't know if it's the game or my mouse. Sometimes clicking on something is unresponsive other times its like I double clicked something. Using my keyboard is a lot more reliable in regards to picking options.

Also, I created a world state but sometimes I think the wrong decision is triggering. Like I got that farmer to be anti-god but sometimes he seems pro-god. Also the baby showed up in the beginning but now I'm on a boat and I don't see her so I dunno.

ranger/changer's not a bad combo - a lot of passive utility combined with occasional actives is a smooth "fills-all-holes" spot.

Yes it slows. The game gets better when you have more skills than knockdown, hobble, and magic missiles twice per fight. The less time spent below level 5 the better!

Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?
Just posting to say that I’m story mode rushing through WM1 (finished lastnight, hello Cannons), WM2, and Act3 before I start PoE2. I’m really glad to be doing this. The entire interior of Durgan’s Battery was awesome.

Is there any difference between using the imported saves, or just generating them? Beyond the obvious of being able to change story choices, of course. People keep mentioning whether Eder started with certain equipment based on his endings, etc. Considering how much I re-think options, I was planning to just do a custom start instead of importing, but don’t want to lose out on any bonus items for importing a complete game.

Anything melee with Soul Blade is a strong combination because you'll build focus with the melee attacks you're already doing, then you can dump it into a massively strong melee attack.

And Beguiler/Rogue, too.
