Finnegan has ended up less useful than I expected with the long drought between +1 and further upgrades. I wish you could just melt magic weapons down into other types or something. There's such an absurd number of specific weapon types it's rare you ever find something anyone can use. It makes the looting side more underwhelming Of course just going Pillars style on weapon feats would solve this bah FuzzySlippers fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Sep 15, 2021 |

Mordecai posted:I got stuck and was really worried about a bricked save for an hour. Kinda obvious spoilers about Camellia in this thread, but PSA: avoid looting her amulet if she should permanently die, for now. I've now seen the game freeze and go non-responsive 4 times in a row when trying to level up characters to level 3 at Defender's Heart. When the level up menu comes up the frame rate also goes nuts like I'm maxing out my GPU. Like, drat I know this game is a work in progress but this is like they took out a wall while trying to finish building a house. edit: Yep, just tried it 2x more, when I level Lann from 2-3 and hit finish the menu drops me back to the screen and freezes completely. Happens every time. That thread has a lot of other people talking about similar companions being completely bugged too. Looks like this latest patch hosed something up hard. pentyne fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Sep 15, 2021 |

44 hours in and I’m finally done with Drezen. I feel like I’ve played an entire good RPG so far so it’s kinda nuts that I’ve sort of only just begun one. I think I’ve finally settled on me (skald/azata), Seelah, Lann, Sosiel, Aru and Ember for my main party. Also feel like I’ve kind of been dancing between the raindrops because a few failed charges are still the worst bugs I’ve encountered so far.

The first two acts are actually pretty stable, so as long as you didn't pick one of the small number of archetypes with bugged features (to my knowledge, the Judge's Sentence ability still doesn't work), there's not really any major bugs to run into outside of the issues with charging. You'll start seeing more and more bugs as you progress.

Like its got to take a bunch of time to model and create Tridents, Starknives, Fauchards etc and then have them never used by anyone, ever because they both cost a feat and you aren't showered in cool unique ones like you are for a ton of the most common weapon types.

The oddest thing with the magic weapons is that there's a few really obscure types that have a huge number of very good weapons floating around. Like, I don't think I've ever even heard of someone at tabletop take a Sling Staff (besides Kender from Dragonlance), but there's multiple ones with incredibly good riders floating around the early game - same with Estocs.That Italian Guy posted:It's not our warcamp (even if it has the same icon)! It's a drow ambush. Unless they've changed it in the recent patch, this was just you hitting that encounter at an odd time. In multiple playthroughs of that section, that has always been a random encounter on the road for me - no icon. The encounter probably just popped right before you hit your actual camp.

Kingmaker question - the bag of tricks setting to replenish consumables, does that replenish from inventory (which I want) or does it create entirely new scrolls/potions to replace what you've used?

For the amount of serious, permanent debuffs enemies can land on you there really, really needs to be a "pay for cure" healer feature in every base location with a CL of 50.

This literally exists? That's what the clerics at your base are. You buy scrolls and they 'cast' them for you when you're in your base (it uses their stats) for all the permanent debuffs and issues.

Earlier in this thread I read that Chapter 5... removes most of your crusade army and replaces them with path-specific units? Is that true, and does it affect all unit types? I just wanna know if I shouldn't be spending gold on resources buying these Clerics/Hellknights now, if they're gonna be wiped out to 0 later regardless.

It gets rid of all your armies and gives you a pittance of some path specific troops. Save your gold for now probably. On the other hand Chapter 4 and 5 shower you in so much gold you can pretty much do whatever you want with the chump change you can get in Chapters 1-3 and it won't make a difference. Its pretty insane how much money you get when enemies are dropping +3 equipment baseline. Zore fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Sep 15, 2021 |

At the end of chapter 3, an NPC takes command of your armies while you are doing something else important. They do an awful job and by the time you get back in chapter 5 your armies have been wiped out.

That mod's pretty neat-looking (assuming it works, I may try it out whenever I get to a second playthrough), but I'd fold unarmed strike into the "Monk" category, and make additional categories for Natural Weapons and Magic (Touch, Ray, and Kinetic Blast), as well as have some groups overlap a bit (a rapier could be considered a light or a heavy blade, depending on how you judge what counts as "light", and while a scythe is a blade, it's also a polearm, etc.). Since it claims to be customizable, I'll likely fiddle with it to do just that.

So like, are the majority of Glabrezu, the big guys with crab claws, you fight supposed to drop a scroll of Firestorm and a scroll of Tsunami each? Giving Nenio the occasional Kamehameha to launch is fun but weird.

I finally killed Playful Darkness on Core difficulty (after a half hour of attempts) by unloading on her with a maximally-buffed Lann while spamming chain lighting and disintegrate with Nenio to kill her guards and nonstop healing spam on Seelah from my paladin PC and Sosiel. She gave me 52k experience, or half a level up. Some nice weapons, too. She was doing hundreds of damage per round on Seelah. If Seelah didn't have the ring that heals her and summons skeletons on death + diehard + that mythic feat that gives two rounds of invincibility, she would have been mulched instantly. I'm torn. On one hand, it's undoubtedly satisfying to see her finally go down (I let my guys wail on her for a bit before using coup de grace). On the other, I've always held there's a difference between legitimately challenging fights in games and ones that are just cheap, and Playful Darkness was the first optional boss I've fought so far that seemed the latter.  Are there ones as hard in chapter 4 and onwards?

The one in Chapter 4 is an absolute bastard yeah. Not as crazy in raw stats but it gets a second life, adds a bunch of backup halfway through the fight and has some nasty spells. Bring someone with Dispel magic. Also to get to it you need mass dimension door so make sure you have that while wandering around in Chapter 4. There are a frustrating number of things in Chapter 4 gated behind dimension door. There's also a second optional super boss in Chapter 4 that's a lot more tame. quote:What cosmetic changes are there in the different paths? Azata grow fairy wings in Act 5.

Playful Darkness is pretty horseshit yeah. Destructive Shockwave on Regill with Smite Chaos is pretty effective for burning her down though, while you bury her in disposable Animate Dead summons from Daeran.

Giving Nenio the occasional Kamehameha to launch is fun but weird. The short answer is yes. The long answer is, they're technically the same glabrezu. Sandbox-y CRPGs like Pathfinder obviously can't make every single instance of any given creature unique, and thus most enemies you encounter will be premade to some degree. So outside of certain special, scripted encounters, the glabrezu you fight are all based on a single definition, up to and including the scrolls they can drop. Though it is pretty wild that they just drop ninth-level spell scrolls right into your lap.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good reach-weapon based build? I’ve been playing a Reformed Fiend Bloodrager with Abyssal bloodline, and I’m at level 5 with my first Mythic level; I’ve taken Endless Rage, and so now in combat I’m permanently Large with Great Cleave and +1 hit/damage to Evil and I pretty much wander into groups and chum them. But reading everyone talk about how things scale at later levels I want to stay ahead, and it feels like I’ve got most of what I wanted from the class - what other classes are good support/interesting options for reach weapons?

Is there any advantage to staying in Kitsune form beyond having a bite attack? I mean, I assume the form-switching was added mostly for roleplaying purposes, anyway (that's why it's there in the tabletop version), so I'm guessing there is not.

They can take a feat to gain pounce in furry form at BAB 10. Seems kinda required for any serious attempt at a Cavalier build. The only other way to get pounce afaik is being in rage having all three Beast Totem rage powers.

Well I got to a show-stopper bug: Audience with Noctulia she doesn't appear so can't progress and it sounds like an issue that got introduced with a recent patch? So I guess much like Kingmaker at about the same spot with a game breaker I have to table it and wait for them to fix it... Which is a shame since I was finding this much more polished than Kingmaker.

Skald is supposed to be able to give out rage powers, including the Beast Totems, so that would be the other way that doesnt require taking 12 levels of Barbarian or a specific race but last I heard that's not working right now.

That was the main reason I was looking forward to Trever, but t'was not meant to be. It was already in base NWN2, Zehir only streamlined the process (though I forget how exactly - I think they got rid of the silly elemental essences bullshit which used to take entire inventory pages but I wouldn't bet my left nut on that fact). I know because my first character in NWN2 was some monk/paladin/bard/dragon disciple abomination who dual wielded +5 adamantine kamas, one flaming one acid. They were named Love and Peace respectively, for obvious reasons.

I also saw a fun dumb thing happen in act 1 : during your escape from the Gray Garrison in the beginning, in the big fight on the balcony with the orc paladin lady & co and the two big groups of cultists, Aribeth (I know that's not her name but I can't remember it right now) and Staunton murder the poo poo out of their own guys now, while the guy who's scripted to turn traitor stays in the friendly group and gets AoOs on the rest of the cultists shooting at Aribeth. Kind of anxious to see if that will also be the case for the tavern defence.
