What would I go for if I want the Death Knight class fantasy? Big two hander, plate armored, not necessarily evil, arcane casting. Is a Fighter/Hellknight viable?

JamMasterJim posted:Lich really wants you to be evil. Anyway, for casting in plate and getting 9th level spells, you go wizard or sorcerer/Hellknight Signifer/Eldritch Knight. Easier with lich who merges spellbook. Thanks for this! Which would you say is more "Melee, with some casting" rather than "Caster, with some melee"?

What's the point of borderless window if it minimizes when I alt-tab anyway? Just got one bug so far, one of my companions went under the world or went invisible or something, eventually reappeared after some clicking. So far, so good, still in the intro part.

Accidentally cheesed a good chunk of the tavern fight, I went in blind knowing it'd be a tough one. I had Nenio cast "Create Pit" to catch the three Dretches that were fighting my MC, got 2 of them, which was good enough. What was great is that for the duration of the spell (5 rounds? 10? Something like that), enemies spawning through that gate would path directly on top and get caught by the pit (most failed their saving throws), getting damaged and being out of the fight for 1-2 rounds. Eventually it ran out, but I think it must have taken care of a good half of whatever arrives from the gate. Also, slumber is overpowered. Ok, it was also Normal difficulty, I admit. But still!

Anyone else's performance tanked massively in the Gray Garrison? I went from 80-90 fps to 40-50, with frequent hitches in fights. Also, why do I sometimes start battles (turn based) staggered? And sometimes with just 1 move left, rather than 2 (but not staggered, debuff icon doesn't show there)? canepazzo fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Sep 4, 2021 |

There seems to be something wrong/weird with alignment drift. I did a "good" action and it moved me from LG to ... NG? And apparently you can't be a Neutral Good paladin or something (forgot that was a thing back in the day) and lost access to some class features and must atone. The hell? E: Ah, I see what happened. The good actions moved me outside of the Alignment wheel till it crossed the Law/Chaos line into Neutral Good   Lesson learned: don't be too good. canepazzo fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Sep 4, 2021 |

I looted a magic flail after a Crusade battle, but it's nowhere to be seen. Not in my inventory, not in the stash, nowhere. Where do you find the loot from army battles?

Are there any timers in Act 3 other than the banners? I feel like I need to build up my economy/armies a bit, some of the level 6 and 7 demon armies are scary (especially their generals with the bullshit spells).

SettingSun posted:Spell penetration feats are near mandatory for casters. Take em all. Certain mythic paths have things that make your penetration more powerful as well like Aeon. Consider spells that are not subject to magic resistance as well. Yeah I'm actually on the quest with that NPC, but the way to the quest objective has quite a few armies on the way.

Sometimes, the difference between Real Time and Turn Based is really noticeable. For example, Ferocious Smilodons: with their 2x bite and 4xclaw (at +24 each), each of their turns they alphastrike pretty massively. In Real-Time, they just attack once every couple seconds. Turn based, I can pretty much guarantee one downed PC; Real-time, they get pasted and my PCs suffer maybe 20% health before the Smilodon's dropped.

Man, the dice rolling can be pretty streaky in this game. I've had difficult fights that would have been easy if my characters rolled more than an average of 8. Also, how do you avoid the ... bug? Feature? where my healer will cast a healing spell, walk to touch the target, and do nothing?

Finished Ivory Sanctum and wow, it felt like a proper, good old dungeon crawl. GOTY for me. Things I don't love: can't buy mats while in decree screen. Upgrading an outpost goes through a million submenus. Exploring towards a location when the path that points directly towards it swerves at the last second. Slow rear end travel on the map, even on light encumbrance. The return to Kenabres, a million hours of travel both in game and IRL for a minor fight. These are all minor nitpicks, it is otherwise a really great RPG.

So, I did a respec of the MC well into Act 3 I think, I'm Angel mythic path and so far nothing seems to be broken (well, outside the generic bugs). Am I in the clear or will I be boned in the next acts?

What're the standard countermeasures for high AC enemies? I know true sight for stuff like Blur(?), Invisibility. But what for those that have like 40-50 AC? My MC buffed to the gills only has a +28 on their first attack so hitting is a struggle; I know I'm not underleveled because the enemies barely scratch me, and they go down fast once I start hitting them.

I'm glad that Blackwater was actually overtuned rather than me loving up party composition/builds. Some other fixes there, looks like they caught the <null> buffs in Crusade mode? I'm currently in the Demon City so couldn't go check.

Question about Lann's final act companion quest: So if you go ahead with his plan, you kill Savamelekh but Lann dies forever. If you don't go ahead with his plan and just do your thing, you kill Savamelekh just as well, Lann survives, but he has the big sads cause you didn't trust him or his plan. Is there a "happy" ending for his quest?

FrenchBen posted:Lann Act V quest spoilers question: So looking around a bit, people who got him to live and trust his plan made the following choices: kill Wenduag, have him reconcile with his mom and convince him to become chief of the tribe (which you can do in Act 3 after the tribe gets to Drezen). I did the first two but not the chief part and he died.

Anyone else have the bug in act 5 during the reconquest of Drezen where each time your characters attack, the camera zooms up and away from the fight? It gets really annoying when you have 6-8 attacks each. I don't think I've had it happen anywhere else so far. Also, I wanted to address one thing: I post a lot about bugs as I encounter them, but I am really, really enjoying the game, I have more than double the hours of played than Kingmaker and I only played Kingmaker 2 years after it came out, so mostly (MOSTLY) bug-free. If I didn't like the game, I'd not be posting at all. It's one of the best, if not the best RPGs in my experience when it comes to feeling the power fantasy of a demigod, with the various mythic paths. Even melee characters are badasses - I got Woljif with the two daggers of the Arena fighter (forgot her name) and he's a whirling blender of death.

Is Cleave a trap option, when you have multiple attacks? Say I have 7 attacks on my hasted MC, if I cleave I do one single attack at full bonus + another on a second target, also at full bonus, if I hit. While if I do a full 7 attacks on the main target, I can do more damage and still attack the second one with the remaining ones (if any) if I kill the first one. Am I missing something? I know that great Cleave does additional cleaves, but standard Cleave seems not worth it at high levels?

I don't think the last patch fixed the stunlocking carnivorous crystals, I'm currently being stunlocked by a 55 DC aoe stun every round, it's not what I'd call "fixed" (unless it's just meant to be a gently caress you fight, that is)

Itemising of chests, barrels etc. can be weird. Open a hidden, locked chest: few ingredients, a scroll. Open a small bag lying on the floor: +5 named weapon of rear end kicking. Its like playing Diablo sometimes!

You also get missable conversations that are not quest tracked but still matter for the various triggers like for Lann, so you gotta talk to all your companions every once in a while.

Finished my first playthrough, and while the game overall was great, the drop in quality between the first 3 acts and the rest is massive. The first three acts is a finished product; the last part is early, very early access at best. Also, the difficulty ramp up is kinda ridicolous and boring, it just adds AC and to-hit bonus to the same monsters you encounter in Acts 1-2-3. Oh you killed the succubus in Act 2? Now fight this Mythic Succubus Assassin Sniper Elite that has the exact same model, same attacks, but AC 70 and +48 to hit, and 300 HP. Act 4 is a bit better up until Ix, then the fun (for me)really craters. Itemization is also all over the place and definitely a placeholder, past act 3; oh you killed a Balor, a Demon General of the Abyss? You get a Longsword +1, grats. Maybe that box has a scroll and two reagents, maybe it has a Vorpal Bastard Sword, who knows. Lockpicked a chest with 4 traps around it and 2 perception checks just to get to it? Yeah it has a spoon, some food and a masterwork nunchaku, good job! I'm still gonna try more playthroughs because at its core, it's a great RPG. But man, it's really, really rough in the final 1/3.

Taear posted:The itemisation really is mad. Why does a marilith have 8 totally regular scimitars?? It straight up doesn't make sense. Yes that spoiled part was infuriating, I spent ages just to get to the next part and then it was oh if you don't beeline for a specific part of the map that happens to have the queen but that you have absolutely no idea where it is, she dead. Sorry. I wouldn't have minded if you could make the conscious choice to save x or y or z, but not all. But like this, it's just punishing the player for no fault of their own.
