Aside from the obvious explanation of wizardly insanity, the differing conversation capability of Goondalf could be different writers.Accordion Man posted:All the fame is going to his head. Nice piece of fish posted:Any mage worth his salt is a little bit insane.

and fairly stereotypical for "good" necromancers. But Bones, though, there's a champ. Also, holy loving hell I never knew about that breastplate, that is insane. Goondalf is armored to hell and back.

Probably just bats, albino insects and echos. I mean what are the odds on there being some magical bullshit there to fight?

Lots more fancy threads for us to dazzle our foes.  Having no way to resurrect party members is the first truly bad thing I've seen in this game, though. That's brutal. By all means make it difficult/expensive/really tedious to discourage the player brute-forcing everything, but flat out nothing is stupid. Especially when you are literally receiving training from a necromancer's undead buddy.

Maybe people have to be willing to be brought back from the dead. Why no I do not want to enter paradise I want to go back and starve in the besieged castle full of traitors, enemies and an obnoxious smugwizard "accidentally" hitting me with spells while ordering me around. Also he looted my pants off my corpse for some reason.

Klingon w Bowl Cut posted:Yeah, that's one thing I would change if I were remaking this game. I mean, the Chapter One death scenes have you waking up in the infirmary after losing all your HP, surely companions could at least have something similar. Leaving aside how fun it would be to make a party of skellingtons, of course. Thanks for a great update, yet another bunch of things I missed I see. Those are some important pants. Also, this game does not handle companions well. I am absolutely 100% on board with the idea of having an expendable skeleton army. Fortunately, the game actually solves the problem of you not being an army later in the game. In a manner of speaking. We haven't even begun to see Goondalf's potential realized. These caverns though... Gosh darn them to heck.

Well, the lich utterly ignored us, so who knows. Maybe he's a good guy. We've already buddied up with the necromancer and his skeleton pal, and we're apparently going to try and save a lot of the monsters around here.

Yes, the undead monstrosity - who is so ancient and powerful that the great mage Goondalf himself is unworthy of even reacting to - might be a good guy who's friendly and misunderstood and in no way poses a danger to us in the slightest. I'm optimistic about this, guys. I think we made a new friend.

Klingon w Bowl Cut posted:We don't know it's ancient. Maybe its death was just very unfortunate and caused it to lose most of its skin. Also calling anything an "undead monstrosity" in this game is very bigoted of you! Bones would be disappointed. You know, that's a good point. That's totally ageist of me. I shouldn't be judging someone based on the colour of their skin - wherever it may be - or the content of their eldricht nightmare portal to the shadow dimension/heart. Judge him not on the visage of his decrepit husk but on the quality of his totally not ͓̉̍̓͐e̪̠͚͇̪̠v̳̥͕ͫ͒͛̇̓͑̑ȉ̥̮͚͓͍l̬͉̮̂ ̻s̞o̟̥͍͙͕̤̗͗u͎͔lͯ̈́̚. Totally. Live and let unlive I always say.

Who was the guy who had the bright idea to build his medieval castle on top of an ancient Indian burial ground anyway? Just seems like a recipe for disaster.

"Fedora of the Deceiver" is the perfect setup for a m'lady joke, well done. That was the first thing that went through my mind on seeing the item name too. And this is getting suspenseful, isn't it? This game keeps getting better and better. I'll admit I wasn't entirely sold on it for the first several updates, but I'm definitely fully invested now. Side note, maybe you can clarify something. How exactly do the resistance stats work (e.g. when it says 3-25%, what does each number mean?) I can imagine a lot of different ways it could work but it's not at all clear to me which if any of them it might be (is this a range, is one of them a minimum or maximum, etc).

I appreciate you transcribing all these little fluff texts and whatnot at the end of your posts. They do a good job at sort of painting a picture of the setting around the game, it's pretty cool. Also very grim.

Why I’m sure playing with something that can kill us all, while we haven’t even finished (or really started) screening out traitors in our ranks, is a wonderful idea with no flaw in it!

I wonder why it's a "lich stone" and not a phylactery like in every other game I've played or book I've read. It's a pity Felious ended up dying, necromancers are the coolest flavor of mage.

That son-of-a-lich did it! He actually did it! Well, gently caress that lich with the power of a thousand fireballs. I spent ages getting past that rear end in a top hat, ages more fighting him thinking I could kill him (you can to my knowledge not). At least we got some cool emo clothes.

This update was completely lacking in stolen clothing.  Despite that, this is one of the very few games where I feel that backtracking and filler is actually enjoyable? I can remember who the NPCs are now, and they refer to previous interactions like they're actually people instead of sidequest-dispensers. It's also great that some of the chapters are optional. Doesn't help on first playthrough since obviously you'd follow the plot coupons, but in re-runs you can decide how much you want to go through. (also... creamy elf filling?  )
