Okay, the only way to decide which of my many many many PoE 1 characters I'm going to bring into 2 is to just post in the thread and have you people tell me what to do so I don't have to make decisions at all. Should I start with:

- Wood Elf Ranger
- Pale Elf Rogue
- Hearth Orlan Cipher
- Death Godlike Paladin
- Fire Godlike Monk

I intend to basically remake them and keep their primary class and then multiclassing them into whatever seems good.

ALWAYS CIPHER

Here's a video showing the legacy creation stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObMQNlAzsGc

A couple pages back but one thing I noticed in this is that the legacy creation only had two options for the Eyeless. I'm wondering whether, if you chose enough of the necessary other options, you could pick the 'convince them or whatever' option, or if that's an example of a thing that you need to import a save for.

Does anyone else find Eora's attitude towards drugs really confusing? Most of them are available in a bunch of bars or general stores, and randomly on people's corpses, and there are character classes built around them.

Also, there are quests involving the fact that some dude is dealing svef, OH NO, that's not his job that's the job of the local pub or whatever, or some dude is possibly an addict of some kind of drug, who does he think he is, some kind of monk?

Like, does the population like drugs or don't they? It's weird.

Are you talking about a certain quest in POE 1? I think the issue with the svef dealers isn’t the svef itself as it is the kind of people the dude was dealing with were hooligans. Otherwise svef is probably as stigmatized as legal marijuana.

But when you tell his wife that yeah he is a svef dealer she's not thrilled.

Your other options were to, what, let her go kill the dude, kill her, or do the grieving mother thing that wipes her mind but leaves the anguished voices and poo poo in her mind loving her up? I did the GM thing but thinking about it you know she's gonna have hell to deal with. And her uncle still can get away !

You'd think killing people wouldn't be as evil or bad as it seems in a society that's fully aware of the wheel. "Better luck next time champ" is better than a lifetime of anguish, especially if they can be awakened and junk.

Maybe it's more about how angry the gods get. Skaen doesn't like you wrecking his plans.

Do any of my friends hook up with each other if I knock back all of their advances?

Already told Tekehu, Xoti and Maia 'thanks but no thanks', just waiting on Serafen. (The other three friends are dead because I chose the 'all is woe' preset.) Maia and Xoti have been flirting a little bit, I'm just curious whether they get a bit more 'serious'.

Also on the 'reputations' thing, it's pretty poorly defined, IMO, whether each companion's reputations screen indicates how much they like your other companions, or how much the other companions like them.

Xoti can hook up with ... Eder,

For real? In my previous game (before I stopped playing and waited for the patch) Eder was basically openly contemptuous of Xoti for still having faith, which kind of annoyed me because I was like um excuse me Eder I definitely chose the option where I restored your faith, now get back in there and start making kissy faces at Xoti.

But he didn't so I romanced her instead.
