Ravenfood posted:One big change is that it removes the [Strength 13] notice from before the dialogue "I'm going to smash your knees" so you dont know if it is a regular speech option or a special one. I've got mixed feelings on if I want to play with these on or off. On the one hand it feels rewarding to see "[Cool 17] Draw forth Excalibur", and I instantly think: "Hey, hey! That's ME! I have a Cool of 17!'. It lets you SEE that your character building choices are influencing dialog and not everyone gets to automatically draw forth Exaclibur. On the other hand I also find myself playing by bonus. "Ah, that's an unlock, so it's almost certainly the optimal choice", or "Hmm, I guess I'll say choice 3, because I'm definitely 'Benevolent'". I'm leaning towards turning those off on my first playthrough and on future ones. VERY cool that we get a choice!

Fungah! posted:we can still pick and choose which of those options we turn off, right? like, can i have the aoe reticles but ditch conversation trigger visibility or is it all or nothing? Yeah. I think expert mode disables them all, but otherwise you can pick. Pretty sure I'd never use expert mode. Turning off spell effect radii isn't fun or challenging it's just frustrating and annoying.

homeless poster posted:Unless you're going for Tripple Crown Solo and you don't need to worry about friendly fire Dunno, but I imagine it will involve maxing stealth to avoid lots of nasty combats. Probably a specific set of stats too, that let you talk your way out of some particular hard but otherwise unavoidable encounters.

Selane posted:I think it's a joke, as I recall when it was first posted during the kickstarter a bunch of spergs got into a slapfight because of a river delta being designed 'unrealistically' or something. I thought it was that the original map showed rivers splitting as they moved towards the sea, and someone here pointed out that they tend to combine as they move towards the sea. Then I think ropekid was like 'PM me', and presumably there was some river chat, and then he posted the fixed map with hydrologically appropriate rivers. EDIT: Because if I've learned anything about ropekid it's that he cares about details.

Since this is now the D:OS thread, I also bailed on it after the first map/area. Combat was fun (although it started to feel a little samey after a while) but the story was the reverse of compelling and I just... lost interest. Will still probably give it another go at some point.

Scorchy posted:I wonder if Paradox would be willing to just directly fund the development of a new Obsidian game on the PoE engine and forgo kickstarter. It'd be fairly cheap since the workflow and the ruleset stuff is already there, Paradox would probably get ownership if it was a new setting/IP, and these low budget hardcore niche games fit right in with their portfolio. Why would Obsidian want to do that though, instead of kickstarting it again/funding with PoE profit, owning it themselves, and just having Paradox do some physical reward fulfillment like they're doing? What's in it for Obsidian? (Nothing. Nothing is)

Scorchy posted:I meant another IP on the same engine, not PoE 2. What's in it for Obsidian is they get to keep their employees employed. 4 million is a lot on Kickstarter but not a lot in the real world, and they'd run into KS exhaustion if they keep going back to the well too often. The PoE team was what, 15-25 people? And not all of them full time on the project. Obsidian has like ~140 on staff. I dunno. Everyone said Fargo and InXile would hit kickstarter fatigue, and they got 1,000,000 more for Torment then they did for Wasteland without Wasteland even being released. If PoE is successful I can easily see them kickstarting not just PoE II, but FYSMD:JSPDRPG to boot. V  V

The Lone Badger posted:What tools does a tank have for managing aggro / making fools attack them? I tend to charge him in solo ahead of time with the fighter. I probably should take Hold the Line to lock an extra baddie in engagement. Also try to use chokepoints. Then BB Priest shoots with the quest-reward gun, BB mage fires spells, and custom chanter uses spears from behind. I'm pretty sure I'm not using BB rogue ideally. I tend to have him shoot from the back a lot too. Probably far, far, far from optimal, but I seem to be doing okay. Also, the 2nd level priest spell consecrated ground is crazy good. +12 endurance a second for nearly 30 seconds in a fairly big circle. BB priest can just plant behind the front guys, shoot her gun and keep everyone topped off. I had one battle in the temple where my custom chanter ended up going from max health/endurance to nearly 0 health because consecrated ground was keeping her healed up when she was in an exposed spot getting whaled on.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Whoa this is a huge change from the backer beta are you sure it's the case? It doesn't make any sense as others have said because you wouldn't be able to purchase very high up unless they've drastically changed how skill buy works. If it is the case, they better have a giant flashing "your unspent points will be lost" dialogue box.

Basic Chunnel posted:One non-spoiler feature highlighted in the streams is that backer NPCs (the ones with gold nameplates) are essentially sensory stones from PS:T, you "talk" to them and access snippets of ancestral memory / lore. Which is good because it was weird in the beta that there were all these named NPCs who could not be interacted with in any way I wondered what the hell those guys were.

So, I found a special shield it's a door, lol and it says 'Bash 2: Grants Bash'. What is 'Bash'? It looks like maybe I get a second attack with it? So I'm two weapon fighting with a sword and shield? I wonder if it benefits from the two weapon fighting perk? Then you could get a bonus from both sword and shield AND two weapon fighting.

CrusherEAGLE posted:So how hard is "hard"? You'll definitely wipe now and then or at least quickload back and retackle a fight with a bit more forethought and planning. You'll also probably pull off some miracle wins against the odds with three out of five guys down and the other two with a tiny red sub ~10% health level. I've had a couple of those poking around the Endless Paths. Hello 8,000,000 off-brand kobolds backed by drake artillery. I've only played 8 hours and am just about to hit level 5, so the level advancement rate must slow way, way, way down if the crit path puts you at 8 and 12 is the level cap. Music is amazing, game is great.

Heading over to Dyrford crossing to see how its changed since the beta and hoping for some easy XP. My only real complaint about the game is the search system. Having to explore in stealth at double speed or miss out on lots of cool crap is a little weird.

Tildryn posted:Kind of depends on your Order. The Shieldbearers get the ability to add a buff onto their Flames of Devotion that causes a 20s +10 Deflection to all nearby allies, so you can space out the Flames of Devotion for defense bonuses. Yup. I'm a kind wayfarer, and my flames of devotion do extra damage AND provide healing to all my buddies nearby, which is nice to be able to time twice an encounter as needed.

french lies posted:It seems like it is mining the Baldur's Gate soundtracks quite heavily. You notice it especially well in the combat themes. There are also some strong Lord of the Rings vibes here and there. One exploration track in particular has a major LotR note to it and the Stronghold(?) theme (it plays there a lot) reminds me of the Hobbiton music from Fellowship.

I'm encountering a bug where the plague of insects from Ogre Druids doesn't clear after combat, has no end timer, and will just eat away at your health until you all die. I can clear it by saving and reloading, but it's a little aggravating. Anyone else getting this? For location, I'm on level 3 of the Endless Paths, so there are a bunch of Ogre Druids around here. Game is still awesome. EDIT: There's also a phantom enemy. Red circle on the ground. No tooltip, doesn't see or detect me, can't attack it. West side of the map, in a room with a campfire in the middle, phantom enemy spawned on a patch of grass. Fintilgin fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Mar 28, 2015 |
