Savy Saracen salad posted:Looks like they decided to double down on everything that was sleep inducing boring from the first game. Even going so far to return the pedentic-philosopher protaganist, along with his boring henchmen whom have no personality or character motivation and just exist to agree and follow every whim / whatever the protaganist does and says like some lifeless automatons. The writing and presentation of the first game was sandpaper dry with everyone speaking like a walking encyclopedia. Truly gives you the impression that the characters were written by a bunch of shut-in nerds whom have no idea about people talk and interact in real life. I am sorry for rambling but poe was such a dissapointment that i do not see myself backing this one. So you're not going to make a pirate ship pledge?

Walrus Pete posted:You could run through all of PoE1 with a five-person party and you'd only ever notice the difference on the hardest handful of fights. I think you're greatly overestimating how much of a change this is going to require from the designers. I wonder how many characters the temple of Eothas was designed for? Because going in to that second floor with just Aloth and Eder was rough as hell, especially before the shade's shadow summon nerf. marshmallow creep posted:Bear Fource, obviously. The math checks out alright.

Samuel Clemens posted:In isolation, perhaps. But PoE's development history shows a clear trend towards making tanking both less mandatory and less powerful. Fighter and Paladin's defensive capabilities got nerfed while their offence was buffed, enemies are more likely to break engagement than they were at release, newer maps have fewer bottlenecks than older ones. It's not unreasonable to assume that PoE2 will continue to disincentivise highly specialised builds and instead emphasise the importance of well-rounded party compositions that don't fall apart the minute one member is incapitated. Barbarians and Rangers are amazing spell casters in my runs.

Ghost-Slug posted:I backed this this morning following the email from Obsidian! Although I never ended up completing the first game back at release (I was hit with a few bad glitches and it took the wind out of my sails), I'm happy to see that the three characters I liked best have returned. Lowering the party limit to 5 is a bit of a bummer though, since I tend to play these sorts of games like a more interactive choose your own adventure story and I enjoy having lots of characters in my party to provide extra flavour and commentary on the world. I'd say play it on hard, it's a good difficulty that teaches the basics and you'll run into some stuff that will end you so occasionally you'll have to come back later.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Did the regrets worth trading quest change with White March II? I seem to have somehow gotten a result where they were real giftbearers and actually dumped the dude's stuff in the lake for reals? So I don't get to slaughter the temple any more?. I think it depends on how you do the quest, because I'm pretty sure I've gotten it both ways after white march 2 and on my most recent run I did it the most violent way.

Rookersh posted:It always felt to me that Cipher was the "canon" class in game, considering what Watchers are. They also have something like 3-4 times the amount of class specific interjections in conversations.

marshmallow creep posted:Yeah, I don't use the personal inventory to store stuff I'm going to ignore, but it helps to organize while I'm thinking, "hey, this could probably work great on this guy." The stash quickly gets cluttered with all manner of junk, but the individual inventories can be kept clear for stuff you want associated with particular people. Itumaak becomes a murder machine with that chant, I think he's done over 200 damage with it.

I don't plan on losing party members though I may sacrifice those I don't plan on using to the pool. Kinda curious how it will import into Poe2. I had a paladin that was a death godlike with bloody slaughter they had a very nice synergy with kind wayfarer's strange mercy.

I hardly ever cast spells with Hirvanius because mauling poo poo in that beast form is so good. It'd be weird if there wasn't a shapeshifting focused druid option.

Samuel Clemens posted:Eh, theoretically yes, but stacking Accuracy in PoE was so easy that you could pretty much always land your Fortitude spells by the time you hit the mid-game, aside from maybe in the dragon fights. There really wasn't anything preventing you from trivialising the game with Shadowflame apart from your own sense of honour. If you invested in interdiction you could get a massive per encounter priest AOE that dazed and weakened enemies making them super vulnerable to CC.

Litany Unheard posted:I don't see how letting you use your spells in each fight dumbs it down. Is a cipher or a chanter a dumbed-down mage/priest? What does per-rest spell slots add that is of such intrinsic value over the proposed empowerment mechanic? You even admit it's functionally the same. I tended not to use priest/wizard/druid spells as much, but as soon as I had the focus/chants to blast off something useful you better believe I did. Making it per encounter will encourage me to use those powers and I won't feel like I'm wasting anything. If I need to spam some stuff, well that's what scrolls are for. It's a welcome change to me as well. Zore posted:Also casts and effects can be more limited since things are per encounter. Having 2 level 5 spells to cast makes encounters more tactical in many ways because you can't do the old 'save up all your casts and chain-gently caress the boss' by resting befor it
