Captain Mediocre posted:I joined the beta branch for the hotfix patch and it appears to have corrected Mayor Eder's dialogue interactions to be suitably sceptical of Eothas. However when asked what he's been doing, he still talks about visiting his parents rather than any mayoral stuff. Hard to know how if that matters at all, and also not tried a fresh restart yet to see if that clears everything up properly. So this is weird. I did that on GOG (version 00071) and restarted and imported my save and Eder is still talking about the night market. However, I loaded my save from the release version (where he also imported incorrectly) and he has dialogue about being mayor.

For a pure evoker should I be just picking up almost nothing but passive abilities since you can get spells from grimoires?

Is it normal to go through a bunch of side quests without gaining approval from companions? Only eder likes me So far. How do you even get approval with Aloth? Like I know it's tied to their likes and dislikes on the reputation screen, but I can't figure out what options to chose that would gain favor.

Gamesguy posted:For a pure evoker should I be just picking up almost nothing but passive abilities since you can get spells from grimoires? I think there are a few go-to spells it's worth grabbing because you always want them handy. Expose Vulnerabilities, etc. Maybe Tattered Veils and Arcane Shield. Stuff you're gonna have scripted in the AI to go off like every fight. Eldritch Aim if you aren't using a priest for the priest Per buff.

Also Oh God they made choosing your skills HARD this game it is now basically impossible to cover everything and you pretty much have to pick an angle and stack it.

The Dagger modal in particular is kind of amazingly useful, but all the ones that slow you by 50%... probably not so much.

Yeah that will mostly work but there are a lot of checks you're going to miss that way ( https://wiki.fireundubh.com/deadfire/dialogue-options ) There are additional wrinkles like you need 15 arcana for some scrolls etc. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 01:05 on May 12, 2018 |

Subjunctive posted:Why aren’t companions checked for Insight? I meant they aren't ever checked solo for it since basically everything with insight comes up in a conversation where only the watcher is checked or they just add the party bonus. Every other skill has times it can be used fully in scripted sections or in environmental interaction by companions except insight. So its one of the skills you want for sure on your Watcher if you want to cover everytbing efficiently.

Mr. Prokosch posted:Having played it a bunch more, Kind Wayferer / Soul Blade dual wielding is the poo poo. Paladin's inherent defenses + Flame heals lets you tank in light armor, so you hit like a truck super fast, you can bounce between Flame bursts and Annihilations for a really long time, exploding everything you come across while regenerating health like you have a super-charged Moonwell up. Some Cipher and Paladin abilities for utility, and you tank, dps, and support as good as any other class does one job. Oh good, I'd wondered. I decided on a solo Cipher for my first run but I might seriously consider doing this route next time. Just like PoE1, melee Ciphers work just fine (for now). Start with a quarterstaff or build Focus with a ranged weapon, then dive in like you're playing a rogue and start beating up Blind/Terrified/Confused/Flanked people. They can't tank, but they can hit things just fine.

I bound her to Monk on my PC, but I'm wondering what the Barbarian upgrade did now... FWIW the first Monk upgrade is +2% action speed on hit stacking up to +30%

beat at 47 hours doing a decent amount, but definitely not all of the sdiequests and having less than half the map fully revealed. Got happy slides for just about every character, though.

I dont care about the modal at all but but but damage resistances and penetration thresholds and “no best weapon” and and nah they’re pretty underwhelming. maybe that’s super important on PotD? normal mode is easy enough to brute force every encounter. i guess the game is designed around / intended to be played PotD?

I'm slowly grinding Modwyr for further class abilities on Cipher, similar stacking mechanic but it was attack speed to build focus? Also some faction questions, specifically Principi so far A Shrewd Proposition. Sites on raw data show it has multiple endings, but do I have to kill at least one leader to finish it without beelining Bluff?

https://i.imgur.com/CZrrJky.jpg Modwyr barbarian stats, see if you got different ones. Also as a lvl 14 Ravager with superb weapons on Veteran, I'm genuinely unsure if this game's difficulty is bugged. Feels extremely easy at this point, the AI can win fights on its own most of the time. I'd actually love if there was a console command to check I wasn't playing on a lower difficulty. Also you can fully upgrade Modwyr if you go find her old owner, not sure if it has different stats to if you just upgrade the soul binding though.

It is really disappointing how easy the game is on Veteran with upscaling on. I've literally just been selecting my whole party and clicking on enemies one by one and winning fights with ease. No need to buff, debuff or use abilities of any kind. There were a handful of challenging fights when I was under level 8 (like the giant grub) but I've been steamrolling everything ever since.

What should I do to win sea battles with my tiny Defiant? In my first fight I manuevered and reduced their crew to 1, then boarded, but they still had way more dudes than me and I got slaughtered quickly.

Good news! Ship crews are bugged. As I understand it there's a living and dead model for each crewmate, and when you kill them in the ship battle and then board the dead model spawns, but so does the living model. Once that's patched up ship battles will go a lot better

Are romances mutually exclusive? I'm in a flirt-relationship with Tekehu when I really want to get to know Maia better (but I don't know how, apparently I need to get sharkmeat somehow?) But I really don't want to give up these dialogs.      After that second conversation after you say "i'll be in my bunk" if Maia's in the party she actually says "yeah... me too..." or something along those lines.

I'm pretty far in on upscaled veteran and the grub fight was harder than any other so far, mainly because it kept hitting random party members for 140 damage at level 7. The random location with a bunch of season-themed druids smooshed together was pretty hard too since they nuke the poo poo out of you on top of summoning greater blights. Everything else has been at most moderately difficult

PirateBob posted:What's the importance of armor in this game? Should I sacrifice, say, 35% recovery speed for 8 armor (I'm level 5) Early game you will want decent armor on your frontliners. Mid-late game wear what looks cool because you will be steamrolling everything anyway.
