Most of the companions are giant walking backstory books so i guess youll miss some backstory at least. You dont need to bring them with you to get most of it though, you can just talk to them after hiring them. Only a few of them need you to have them follow you forever to get their full story.

im not even sure why people want a level 20 when the whole system will probably get remade and youll start from lvl 1.

Id argue the combat in skyrim is pretty bad too without mods, and mods cant really fix it either. The sword play isnt anything exciting, the bow play is lacking and extremely boring if you go stealth archer and magic sucks and is lacking in variety without mods.

i never had any urgency to deal with the hollowborn issue because it sounded like something the DM will force me to deal with in the main quest eventually. the whole going insane from awakening was far more concerning to me because it seemed like something the DM would dick me over if i ignored it.

The camping and health/endurance system was pretty half assed i found. It only worked if you were unwilling to walk back to town for more camping stuff. Though this has been a problem since infinity engine days so it was still an improvment to those games. BG1 and 2 could in theory have an endstate if you were unwilling to savescum through random encounters. Of course it also required you to not spam rest. Pillars has no random encounters so you wont die from lack of supplies. If you run out of supplies all you have to do is walk back to town. Id be intrested to some day see an actual camping system where you had an end state if you lacked the materials. Of course i imagine most people wouldnt like such a cruel system.

Basically if you were to carry swords in city limits it either meant you were breaking the law or you were some badass who could do so legally. Like a knight or something.

If you want to ultimate talker and actually be good in combat too then barbarian tank is the best for that I think. Just dump con and dex and have decently high everything else. Dumping con isnt that big of a deal for a barbarian because they have high health to start with. Itll kind of still hurt early on but once you get some survival skills youll be stupidly tanky still.

Basic Chunnel posted:IIRC it was mainly caravans going east that were restrained, partly by red tape but mostly by Nipton Highway / I-15 being unsafe, not any stretch of road west of the outpost. In any event I don't recall the option of leaving the map ever being floated as a possibility in-game. you can leave if you nuke the ncr in that one dlc. though only to that place you nuked so you can laugh at all the radioactive ncr troopers.

Starting a pillars run is annoying much like in arcanum because you cant decide what class you want to create. You basically want to take certain companions with you so you cant take up those roles but all the roles that are free i dont want to make a character for. Right now im thinking just going wizard and looking at aloth awkwardly while we do the exact same thing of nuking poo poo to death. Id make a druid so i wouldnt double dip in classes but everyone seems to say they are boring as casters or something. edit: or make a gold pact knight but then id be double dipping with Pallegina.

Ok after thinking it a bit i guess ill go cipher and kick grieving mother out because she barely has any input in the games story besides when babies and mothers are involved. Any recomendations on what weapons to use for a ranged cipher for end game? My current party plan is Eder, Durance, Palagina, Aloth, whoever feels fitting for the time and my cipher. I already have 3 melee dudes so probably better to go for more ranged dudes.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:How can you play without Eder Well if youre like me then youre new and think maxing out resolve, int and perseption makes a good talker. The logical thing to do is make a fighter and kick Eder out because double dipping in meat shields is useless. Of course halfway through that playthrough i realised 1) fighters are boring so id have been better off using Eder instead and make something fun with my character 2) Eder owns and my party us cursed to burn in hell forever for not taking him.

tekz posted:Gonna play POTD for the first time, as a ranged cipher built around CC rather than damage. (might 11, int 19 for higher aoe/status effects, taking stuff like eyestrike and the charm spell). What's a good party to go with for that? Im doing a ranged cipher as well and currently my party is Eder, Pallegina, Aloth, Durance, Saitani and me in the back. Saitani can be switched with whoever else you feel like though which is pretty much my intention. Is POTD even doable with companions though? At least without somekind of OP build from the main char.

off the top of my head there was that couple of soul mates that animancers helped bring together and theres probably another few examples of its benefits. theres also an example of non thanos bad sides from the hobo woman who is depressed because she found out she was a noble in a past life and finds her current life lacking now.

How i always took it is poe is more of a bg1 than bg2. You basically are given a main plot to follow but you also have all this cool stuff to do adventures on and explore. The whole strong plot not being there sounds like nonsense when thats the whole point, this setting is more an excuse to do the side quests than the main quest. Considering how much the game expects you to take your time during each chapter, itd be more of a flaw that the game hurries you with the main plot because then youd miss out on ton of potential content.

honestly i want poe2 to be about as brutal as lisa is about companions and choices. right after the tutorial eothas comes in gives you choice of either killing eder or rips one of your arms off. if you take too long with the story he comes back and rips the other arm too.

In 1 yeah. I think that was part of the motivation for killing her in 2 because she wasnt all that well written into the BG1 plot anyway. Kind of trying to get rid of a quick patchwork solution.

Yeah, my main problem with rogue is they just dont bring anything intresting to the table. Even a basic fighter tank brings tankiness and damage to the table. Rogue brings nothing but dps. Not exactly a role i really care about.

if youre a good guy you dont really need to level smithing or whatever if you just want early game stuff since the first dwarf companion can smith most of the good early game weapons.

Since were nitpicking rpg features one thing im hoping PoE 2 does better than PoE 1 did is race and gender relevance. PoE 1did it kind of well but often i felt they didnt have much meaning besides a short mention of "oh youre that race or gender, thats nice". I always consider Arcanum a high mark on how relevant race and gender can be where if youre a woman you get the option to suck a halflings dick to get into a mens club or just kill him for being a pig. As a man you never even meet the halfling owner since you just walk into the club and leave. Basically i want to see perks and problems coming from me choosing to play a race or a gender because the world is full of assholes. Of course im skeptic this will be a thing since this is a game taking more inspiration from baldurs gate 2 which also had the whole race or gender doesent matter thing going on. Now that i think about it New Vegas did this pretty well with low INT characters getting some minor features if they are retarded. Like Arcade Ganon joining you out of pity. Of course there arent many low int things in the game but at least they are there. Iretep fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Oct 31, 2017 |
