You can't keep this up

What the fuck am I gonna play until then?

OS2.

kill yourself shill rat

stop making these threads you fucking cancer

I went through everything in the game pretty easily so far but I'm getting my ass kicked in Elmshore by the large groups of enemies. My party consists of me (rogue with tall grass) eder, durance, hiravias, grieving mother and pallegina, any tips?

Pillars 1 of course. Gotta make that perfect save file user

What enemies?

ELmshore you are either getting fucked by ogre + druids, or Adragans.

Both are hard to handle unless you have good levels. Personally i normally don't take those out until i'm lvl 11 or so ( for anti petrification prayer). You can reach the city by sneaking and following the road to not pull everything.

Into the Breach comes out in a week. I suspect that's what will keep me going until Deadfire comes out.

Alright, thanks for the tip. My party is level 8 and this is my first rtwp game, I was thinking about setting the difficulty back to normal but I'll just skip them for the time being.

Around what level are you supposed to do Cancerthot's place? Does it scale up with WM1?

That's meant to be max level shit for White March content. Level 14 at the earliest unless you're a masochist. And no, it does not scale up.

Figured as much, but it's nice to know for sure, thanks.

Reminds me of metal marines but of course this probably plays different.

Do the skills I choose really matter in te long run? I've been choosing mostly class skills

Yes. Some of them are really good and some of them are vastly inferior to the alternatives.

>oh eyh there's still a small patch of dark in this room let me just walk up and
>40 fucking skellingtons and darguls

There's just something hilarious about the ennemy placement in this game

>play solo potd
>gigantic groups of small weak ennemies
>wish I was a caster
>small groups of 400+ hp ennemies
>wish I was a melee dps

the cycle continues

How do I make sure a skill is good?

The naval combat looks like shit

You try it

I honestly enjoy it. In fact, I have a way better time with it than the actual combat. It's comfy.

...

Read what each does and think about it. Or just look up guides online.

I guess I was just hoping for more. I dunno, seems kind of cheap to just go with the text adventure thing.

Hiravias will look nice affixed to the castle walls

>protag has multiple soulbound items
>party members wear rags and have empty slots

I think it's preferable to some Sid Meier's Pirate shit.

Do summons still last 20 seconds with no timer anywhere in Deadfire ?

Surely they could come up with something better than a text adventure without resorting to BETTER THAN SID MEIERS PIRATES REEE

>get to the first dungeon in cad morrison or something
>play on easiest difficulty because I care little for challenge in rpgs
>eder dies to a fucking spider and is gone forever
>uninstall from ps4

Hey man, I'm not saying you don't have the right to that opinion, I'm just saying I disagree with it. Text adventures are my kind of shit. They were my favorite part about the first PoE and I asked the developers to incorporate them more fully into Deadfire.

>flame blights
>legitimately dangerous on their won, elemental chamber is full of them
>earth blights
>so innocuous they have to put a fucking adragan in the elemental chamber so that it poses any threat

why are earth blights so weak

Is there a way to remove an enchantment from a weapon to change your lashes ?

n'yah!

Their only purpose is to counter sabre fags, since not even bittercut can damage them.

>flame blights
>legitimately dangerous
Are they?

i cant see shit

I mean not really, but you know, they're not earth blights or rain blights, so that's something
Wind blights tho, now those scare the shit out of me

Hi

being immune to pierce damage is pretty annoying desu

>eat all of my elemental bulwark potions
>still die instantly to death ice explosions
I love White March.

That's because it does crush damage i think

>Justice on Eder
I like your style

What.

WHAT

I know they have an annoying attack that's crushing because i checked the log after it nearly wiped my party

is it that surprising

n'yarr!

how the fuck do people complete this game on potd solo

Cutie.

I mean, it's ice.
If it doesn't deal ice damage, it would deal pierce. Because icicles.

Sit in corners from what i saw

No integrated DLCs in the main story, no buy. Why do devs pull this shit?

what if they aren't sharp bits of ice

Ice Blights are literally the edgiest, sharpest enemies in the game.

...

...

>left control

I'm not sure what you mean. How is White March not integrated?

why not

>Get to Twin Elms

>Turns out she was made into a slave by her uncle
>Insane cultists have mind controlled her into a tool of murder to kill said uncle and the rest of his family

This game is starting to hurt my soul

Give me back my black and white morality

Classes and Subclasses

This reminded me of a post on the Obsidian forums. One guy was complaining that Deadfire doesn't have a ton of doors and hallways to kite enemies into.

Hail storm my dude

>Missing girl
>Twin Elms

>Drug monk
>He gets 50% more effectiveness from drugs but slowly loses wounds when not on drugs

What classifies as a drug in this game? Can I just carry around an inventory of booze and be a drunken master or does booze not count as a drug?

knowing the average obsidian ai there's probably some equivalent to trick it into never attacking

Should have been a cipher or brought grieving mum with you

Well there's a missing orlan baby

>Pirate-themed game
>no rape and pillage mechanic

Nice "game", Sawyer.

I wonder how your companions react if you get buddy buddy with the Pirate faction

Innocents sometimes need to die for the system that victimized them to change, user. Send her back. Don't let her die for nothing.

Anything with a crash effect at then of the duration is a drug
They're all mostly inferior potions

The baby isn't missing

It is now

>instead of straight up murdering the noble as he's resting in the inn with the goddamn army of ciphers, priests and barbarians they have, skaennfags instead try to justify a convoluted mindbreak porn fantasy

skaenn, not even once

Nigger hailstorms can dent the shit out of metal. And try getting hit by an avalanche.

I poisoned Simoc, should I steal the baby anyway?

If you have one point in the cruel disposition, you can sacrifice one of your companions and get a pretty decent bonus off of it.

No. Leave the poor baby alone. The good ship lifestyle is rough and cruel.

>Bioware tier evil

Skaenfags are to be purged

If you're still there or have an earlier save and are willing to reload for a different resolution, you can bring Grieving Mother with you and she will provide with an alternative (good) quest resolution since she's a cipher.

I honestly like how deliciously evil Skaen is. It's the most edgy shit imaginable.

and living with glanfanthans niggers isnt ?

A random murder, or a murder obviously carried out by skaenites, doesn't carry with it the ideological effect that having the abused daughter do it herself.

Really hope we get to see more of the gods in Deadfire, they're a fun bunch

I killed the glanfathan war leader myself on my run in a fit of perverted sense of "justice" once I realized what he was about to do with the babby. Does taking the babby for yourself really change anything in Deadfire?

Twin Elms is beautiful and comfy, and if you're lucky you get to fuck those trees. Sounds like the dream life to me.

Twin is worst location in the game. Small, without intresting side quests, boring.

FUCK RPG KEKDEX!
TORTURE AND MURDER SENSUKI!

I did the same thing. Killed him and his crew on the spot. Felt good.
Kidnapping the baby means you have her as a crewmember on your ship in Deadfire. Pic related is her.

Well, you keep the babby. So yes.

>so you have a choice
>you can pick a dreamlike life of frolicking and admiring nature's beauty with our beautifull elf priestess
>OOOOOR...
>you can venerate death and carnage in a dark basement with a band of sweaty hairy dwarves

I don't understand how Blood Sands get any members

That's were the best sidequest are though

Wow, that's one ugly babby. Good fucking riddance, I'm better of being alone.

Even with only a fourth of the content, it was a much better place than Defiance Bay. The god quests were all great.

I'm recreating my original playthrough for Deadfire. About to choose a god. Originally I chose Berath and I want to stick with that because this is a recreation and apparently Berath's going to be important in Deadfire, but I also really want to choose Galawain because it just feels like a better choice. Someone choose for me?

Berath

Galawain is a wishy washy idiot to whom you can justify pretty much anything as long as you word it correctly

>not abydon

Definitely Berath. Galawain is a cunt and talks like a retard. Snorting around and shit.

>All the cuck characters make it into deadfire
>durnace doesn't

I've chosen Galawain, no regrets were had. The weak must fear the strong.

...

Fucking Avellone left Obsidian and hasn't done anything worth a shit since. Into the Breach better give me fucking orgasms from how good its writing is or I'm gonna be pissed.

>heavy metal music plays in the background

>Eothas is supposed to be all about honesty, kindness and humility
>is the biggest fucking jerk after Skaen and Woedica, judging by the bullshit he pulled in PoE 1

I've always had really mixed feelings about Avellone. Some of his writing is really good, and then other times you have "I kick babies but I have a REALLY GOOD REASON to do so"

Didn't he do some work with Original Sin 2?

I'm sure he's gonna try to justify himself in Deadfire. Good luck, asshole.

Yeah, he wrote the concept for Fane. I thought Original Sin 2's story was pretty bad, but it's hard to say how much of that is because of Divinity's setting in general.

Did they say anything about removing day-dependant loot this time ? Goddamn what a headache this system is.

OS2's story is a masterpiece compared to OS1.

I didn't know it was humanly possible for writing and dialogue to be that bad.

JESUS FUCK THE TEMPLE OF SKAEN HAS MORE PEOPLE IN IT THAN THE WHOLE OF DYRWOOD NO WONDER YOU FUCKS KEEP HAVING STILLBORN BABIES

have you seen the previous divinity games ?
they never really had even acceptable writing

>masterpiece compared to OS1.
Everything is.

why are you taking the longest route possible

smug comfyposter btfo

I've never played the old ones, no. I only got DOS1 because my friend recommended it for the gameplay.

"The writing isn't great" is what he told me which was A MASSIVE FUCKING UNDERSTATEMENT.

It was pretty silly how they have a fortress underneath the town but nobody notices.

Isn't permadeath off on Story and Easy?

N'yah yourself.

And you too.

And this is after the patches that toned encounters down.

Probably everything with a crash effect

I'm pretty sure everybody knows about it

Go to bed, Durance.

that patch only targeted some spots in act 3, notably the spirit density in burial isle. The rest of the game is unchanged

I'm exploring everything for that fat loot.
Neverwinter Nights had this problem to. 30x more bandits than actual people in the region
Shits toned down? Cause in the wild I still fight literal armies of enemies. Things have been going smoother sense I benched Aloth though. Wizards in this game are fucking useless

its the remnants of an old aedyran fort. if you look at it some of the structure is newer just mud walls, the other half is the proper dungeon catacombs of a castle.

>What classifies as a drug in this game?
Carow Golan is all you need. Best shit for any melee class in the game, unless you like having INT, of course.

Wizards are excellent as long as they concentrate on CC

>CC

in theory it sounds good, in practice you either don't need it or pop a potion of wizard double in situations where you positively need all the deflection in the world

Fuck off, Niles.

Wizards are ridiculously powerful in PoE, especially as the game goes on further. Many realize this truth when they find the COLD FIREBALL OF DOOM but their spell selection is great from level 1 to the end.

It's not meant for tanks. Wizard's double works only on dedicated tanks who hoard deflection, otherwise you're going to get hit anyway if you don't use a shield. Carow Golan is meant for those who do not use a shield and have not taken the cautious attack talent and it effectively replaces it. Its perfect for monks and any 2h wielders.

Early levels wizards are chill fog - combusting wound machines. They only really graduate from that at level 9 when they get new actual usefull shit, and the accuracy to actually land anything

will this game also have an awful town building mechanism that is terrible? will you have to decorate a boat or something? upgrade your figurehead for +5 spirit in boat fights! (2 weeks)

doing council of the stars. these are companions i've found to have interactions with the gods

hylea-grieving->mother, pallegina
galawain, magran, abydon->hirivias, durance
berath->?
rymrgand, skaen, ondra->?

anybody know more, like companions to bring with you when you pray to the gods?

yes

dumb qt orlan posters

People don't size with Woedica? Having the strongest God power you is very useful

>Eothas
>Honest/Benevolent God of Light and Renewal
>No protection
>Against Cruelty/Deceptions
>Still learns Punishment and Condemnations

Well...

Eothas is pretty much a god of fire and courage

Maneha should have some sort of relationship with Ondra, right?

>Not Magran

Two halves of the same coin, but Magran is the one who is Fire and Courage, whose followers are known for their bold aggressive actions.

priests of eothas are still directly linked to fire, and their signature skill makes them immune to fear. There's some overlap, but magran is more geared toward civilization and progress, whereas Eothas cares more about justice and righteousness.

Of course Eothas is the god of Fire. After he had the god burned out of him, all that's left is fire!

Thats my problem with them I guess. The retarded vancian casting system makes me keep Aloth at the back line spamming his little wand and only rarely doing anything because I always feel like its a waste of resources.

Realistically speaking you only need to cast one lvl 1 spell and one lvl 2 spell to kill any group as a wizard, for a long while, so they're relatively frugal.

>spamming his little wand
area effect implements do good damage faggot

FIERY WHORE

*dominates the enemy that the whole party is attacking*

Unless you are doing the "Grab all companions at level 1", he should be fine with 1 spell an encounter.

If you are doing the grab all companions at level 1 stupidity, then what you need to do is abuse the Wizard by spamming all the AoE and wound/CC spells in combat, while abusing the priest's invincibility/shelter whatever spell at level 1 to block doors, so that your shit-stick companions can slowly kill the groups to allow you to clear the castle.

>Grab all companions at level 1
nani

>forums.obsidian.net/topic/96186-naval-battles-or-whole-pirate-part-avoidable/
> You just can't please people, can you? :D In Pillars 1 the complaint was that you couldn't do much/not enough with the stronghold Caed Nua, now they tried to expand upon that by adding that whole gameplay for your stronghold/Ship and... :D

Old tactic before retraining.

Grab the first 4 companions, cheese through the castle to enter stronghold mode to grab the next 4 companions. Because you are level 1, they are all level 1 so you don't get stuck with autoleveling garbage.

Not necessary anymore due to retraining but it is fun. Easiest if your MC is a priest because you can abuse withdraw with Durance.

Oh.
That sounds kinda autistic desu.

>shilling is permissible if it's for obsidian

Well, normally what happened was you grab Grieving Mother at level 6 or so. So then she is stuck with the worst possible garbage abilities and is unusable. Same with Pallagina who the autoleveling decides should use both guns and swords and maybe some tanking and why not some laying on hands specialization.

So it was a necessary evil to actually use certain companions.

All companions start level 1 since version 2.0 iirc

>you must only ever say bad things about a given game else its shilling

Yeah, that's why I said it was an old tactic back a long time ago.

Some people still do it for 'fun' though.

Might or perception on a mage ?
Feels like the early perception would help a ton to land important afflictions, and in the end translates into more damage just the same as might

Even worse is confusion. Why the fuck do they stop attacking confused targets? GO FOR IT.

>status spells
>damage

"Shilling" is a retarded meme.

>saying good things about this game isn't shilling because it's obsidian

im not saying people shouldn't speak about games they like, Cred Forums's just hypocritical and yes Cred Forums is in fact one person in the form of a conformist hivemind

Chill fog and combusting wound my dude

besides these threads are taking on a form where they might be more in their place on a board like /vg/

if you're just powergaming with meme spells then why even ask

here's a (you)

Wait, Chill Fog is a meme spell? I thought that was Curse of Blackened Sight.

thanks ;p

You want perception and Int for CC, and perception and Might for damage. Unless you can win fights from auto attacking your spells aren't going to do much without debuffing the enemies first.

Stop

First off, Tyranny sucks.
Secondly, Tyranny's magic system is broken
Spend some time making broken spells that wreck shit and you'll be good

>My face when wizardfags are retarded and complain nonstop about nothing

THE GODDAMN WORST

>Thought not having a wizard in the group was non viable but hate vancian casting
>Try replace the wizard with a monk and using well positioned torments reach spam to replace the wizards AOE damage
>Things are dying so much faster now.

Now if only I could find a work around for removing the priest from my party.

Chill Fog has several advantage over Blackened Sight.

1. It applies the affliction every 2-3 seconds, so you don't need good accuracy.

2. It's the best level 1 spell. The only other spell that you might want to reserve level 1 usage for is slicken. There are more spells at level 2 that you might want to use aside from Blackened sight.

3. It's nearly double the radius.

I've heard that Tyranny is shit, but what are the reasons? Never heard of any particular reason

It cockblocks you really hard in some fights though, while Blackened Sight doesn't hit friendlies.

If you have Durance, just dress him in plate, give him a large shield, take the Hold the Line talent and he'll make a decent secondary tank. Just send him along with Eder in the general direction of the enemy and he'll be fine most of the time. Priest tanks can cast while getting pounded just fine.

the combat was bad and the setting was not comfy and the character writing was embarassing

idk about you, but I'm playing my nostalgia fueled rng grinding simulator. aka Final Fantasy 12

>All spells are on a cool down so combat feels very slow, especially when you consider you only have 4 party members most of whom can't do a whole hell of a lot.
>The skill system effectively means the more you use a weapon the better you get at it. So if you use swords you get skill points for swords. Which means if you want to try using an axe- you are effectively losing progression with the sword that you cannot get back.
>The game was sold about you being the Darth Vader of an evil empire when you are infact the good aligned cop of an evil empire
>Everything is brown and shit

It had a few good ideas but the execution was lacking

nope you get a maimed warning after that the chracter will die

Why is Eder surrounded by shit

Shit character.

I think it's supposed to imply that the small fluffy animals spend a lot of time around him.

Also, he's a farmer and is probably accustomed to animal shit.

That's not nice user

Eder is canonically a racist and the tumblrina who drew this is triggered by it

No way.
I refuse to believe this.
There's no way some people are that far gone.

The artist is korean tho.

N'yah you all.

Is a Fighter gunner a viable build in PoE or should I just make a ranger? The fighter class accuracy and damage passives look really good.

How's the original? I'm thinking about playing it with my wife in order to break her into old CRPG style games (the only one she's played is DOS2).

...

Watcher is a big bully.

Do these stats look good for a gunner?

PoE is strictly singleplayer. Also, your cat is not your wife.

why are you making a ranged fighter?

>fighter with guns
Are you allergic to fun?

she looks cute

I'd increase dex as high as you can for faster reload

Why not? The weapon mastery passives apply to both melee and ranged, do they not?

I'm not really seeing the point of 14 dex, guns have shit recovery and speed no matter how much you pump attack speed or wear no armor.

I don't mean coop, but "hot seat" multiplayer. Swapping every level or whatever. Used to do the same thing with my kid brother. Is the game classic Obsidian?

You really want to deal a bit more damage with guns, huh.

Ended up with a dumb bimbo. Dunno if this is a good idea or not, but there's only one way to figure it out.

>Is the game classic Obsidian?
Define "classic Obsidian". The game is pretty much Icewind Dale 2 improved in every way.

>18 per

Being a ranger will be more conducive to a ranged character. There are more fighter skills that wont work in your favor than those that will. Meanwhile ranger can stack flanking bonuses, crit the shit out of people with mark and can talent so that they do more crits to people who current have a dot on them. You also get a two cast per encounter spell to apply dots

Only real downside would be that if your pet dies you lose 10 accuracy so you have to micro manage it a little. But if you aren't playing on POTD almost any build is viable. Even a wonky ass ranged fighter

I was actually planning on taking ranger minor class talents instead of the more "fighty" fighter ones. Probably retarded, but at this stage I want to try to see whether or not it's going to work.

As fighter you get a passive health regen (which you wont be taking a damage if you're at range) and most of your talents are going to be concerned with CCing at melee range or just beefing up your defenses

Almost every other class in the game would be better for a gunner oriented character. Hell priests of Mag have rifles as their intended weapons, Chanters get a spell that increases reload time by 20% which stacks with the talented reload by 20%

I really dont grasp why you would want to be a fighter

>I really dont grasp why you would want to be a fighter
Mostly for the accuracy and damage bonus. I'm playing on Story Mode anyway, so I doubt it's going to be game stopping.

>Story Mode

currently playing PoE for the first time, and recently found the stronghold and started descending into the ruins. is this something you 'should' or shouldn't do before going to defiance bay?

Nah.

Clearing the first and the second level with xaurips should be fine. You're going to get destroyed on the third level by ogres, so don't go there.

You can do pretty much anything you want on story mode, but Fighters are still ineffective at range. The accuracy spell and the damage bonus are the only Fighter skills that a ranged character can take advantage of.

Yeah, OK making a ranged fighter might not have been the brightest idea. I'm assuming ranged rogue is going to work much better?

>Go to heritage hill
>Find cannibal lady
>No option to kill her
>So manually attack
>Game just gives me a text box saying I cant kill her

And here we see where they drew inspiration from Bethesda.

Ranged rogue works fine. Wont pull as much damage but you benefit from the flanking and stealth bonuses all the same

Ranges rogue was actually better with ranged weapons than ranger before 3.0 and it is still pretty strong.

>not making a ranged barb

>tfw I went down a pit on 2nd level to an ogre level and I can't get back.

Just booted up pillars to play the white march expac but I'm really bad at replaying games after I finished them. How long is xpac? Is it worth it?

A question for anyone who plays this via the Steam Link: can you scale the UI in this game? I like playing in my living room but not if I can't read the text.

The pit takes you to a level with xaurip and drake, there's a stair to get back to level one
I actually prefer to jump rather than fight the level 3 ogre

Seriously? I had no idea. I thought only Lady Web was "unkillable"

It took me about 30 hours to finish WM1. Haven't finished WM2.

Why replay the whole thing? You should have an automatic save made right before you jump into the hole, it even says "Pre-Endgame" or something like that. Load it up and go talk to your statfu. You can upscale the content if you want.

ah it's been a while since I played I just remember getting stuck on the ogre level for a while.

Are you serious? Eder even says that it'd be easier to just kill her and extract the information from her spirit.

>People keep trying to defend Animancy
>In literally every occurrence it is simply a replacement for the word necromancy and always results in tortured souls and armies of the undead

Just how much of a degenerate do you have to be to support animancy?

When there are 40 days left till release I will post a link to a large custom portrait collection.

Worth the wait.

>Falling for Leaden Key propaganda
Look at the Steward from Caed Nua

>Go lord Radceras or whatever his name is

>Go to Crucible keep
>Entire force gets wiped out by rogue animacy """Forge Knights""""

Animancers are to be purged on sight, the Dozens were right

Oh yeah that's what I do, but I already 'finished' the game first because I thought WM was going to be a post-ending xpac.

Jesus fucking Christ really. Do you do literally everything? The main campaign took me 40 hours.

I'm going to pirate Pillars of the Caribbean!

What's the problem, user?

>They changed magic so its literally 6 seconds to cast a spell then 3 seconds of wait time after you cast it for 90% of spells

As always, pirate before you buy is the ideal solution

They just need to be controlled better, but allowed at the same time. It's war on drugs all over again.

OK, so I'm going to roll a meme dwarf sniper with a gun. Since someone has mentioned earlier that guns have shit recovery time anyway and that pumping dex is useless, I'm assuming I pump int instead for a longer sneak attack window of opportunity due to increased sneak-attack enabling debuff duration?

>an actual NYAH! character

There's apparently a lot of success cases, they're just all off screen for some reason.

Can you tell Justin I said hi, Mr Shill?

No, you don't. You can finish it way faster if you want.

>Since someone has mentioned earlier that guns have shit recovery time anyway and that pumping dex is useless
that person was retarded

and make a ranger if you only want to shoot people desu. rogue should be using either melee weapons or melee and ranged weapons

The Sanitarium doesn't have any zombies besides the wicht wing. The flesh golems are zombie-like, but also completely reliable until Thaos jumped into their bodies.

Heritage Hill was an Engwithan artifact that long predates modern animancy. No one who studied it could even turn it on; Thaos could easily have done what he did regardless.

It's implied that a lot (though surely not all) of animancy's failures are due to the Leaden Key sabotage.

My god this game is complete garbage. I can't understand why anyone would play this shit ever.

I don't know if you'll ever be able to make sneak attacks on your own debuffs if you use guns exclusively, regardless of your INT.

Is the first part worth replaying to prepare for 2nd?

I started it dozen times and always dropped it without even entering first city, at best capturing the keep for yourself - as the story is boring, characters uninteresting and the only interesting part: figuring out combat mechanics and stats gets boring fast too so i rather reroll than continue. I finished BG1+2 multiple times, neer had issue with DA:Origins, but PoE is just.. feels somehow lacking. Even Temple of the Elementary Evil feels more fun than it.

>a fucking N'YAH

>Flesh golems
>FLESH GOLEMS
>A GOLEM MADE OUT OF DEAD FUCKING BODIES

No one who owns a flesh golem should be permitted to live.

Good point, I'll swap 16 int for 16 dex then. And no, I don't want any gay animals around me, so I'm not rolling a ranger.

Mindrape spiders are cute.

CUTE!

Are paladins good in this game compared to the other classes? Is there a thing that they do best?

They don't tank as good as fighters
They dont support as good as chanters
They don't heal as good as priests

>Are paladins good in this game compared to the other classes?
They can solo potd, just like any other class.

> Is there a thing that they do best?
Yeah, being a jack of all trades who can buff, inflict damage, heal and somewhat tank.

>They don't heal as good as priests
They heal single targets better than any priest.

I'm the n'yah yourself poster so it's fine.

You can pick whatever responses you want and you can even spec your character so that there are no consequences for it.

>cast prayer against treachery on party
>it doesn't hit the dominated party member
>it does hit the dominated enemy, removing domination from them

>>They aren't real paladins, they worship no gods
worshipping gods isnt a requirement of being a paladin

Muh d&d

I want to make my main man a melee rogue whenever I inevitably replay the first game, would it be a good idea to completely dump int? Would it also be a good idea to focus on resolve in favor of might since rogues get pretty decent damage multipliers for free anyway?

>Play as a good character
>Save these people, save this woman, save this girl

>Play as an evil character
>Send the little girl off to be eaten, keep the soul of a woman bound in an amulet for eternity, kill the priest

Is being the edgy evil character more fun in PoE then playing a good character?

>Oh and your auras? Jack shit useless.

Zealous Focus is probably the best accuracy boosting skill in the game, and Zealous Endurance are useful in hard fights if you needed the extra defense.

Done with my priest playthrough
Even upscaled act 3 and 4 were pretty easy

Only if you go by some retard ass historical paladins as a cop out. Every major fantasy setting has paladins as religious warriors. may as well make a mage who doesn't use magic

>not playing berserker

user please. Animancy is a science.

Kingdom Come. Ive already put 60 hours in. I also loved PoE

it's really hard to kill llengrath :^(

Why would you play anything but Rogue?

*dies to a fart

not really faggot, paladin virtues are in chivalry, they are philosopher soldiers and follow a doctrine. priest are in this game, why would you have two different classes that align with gods. paladins can worship anyone they choose but they follow their guilds doctrine and their own theory of chivalry hence the goldpact knights are mercenaries, bleakwalkers are edgy and kind wayfarers are kind

>Why aren't you doing [insert boring shit]?

Minmaxing, and spamming consumables. It's not hard but it is a waste of time desu senpai.

Unless you're doing solo PotD, you are at fault and you suck.

Come to think of it, in my generation's D&D (3.5), paladins didn't need gods either. Not even priests did.

>buff, send tank to dragons, rest of team kill adds, spam whatever the bitch and her dragons aren't immune to
wallah

I just don't see where the Paladin fits. Priest supports better than Pally can and there are plenty of classes that can outperform in damage output.

>Every major fantasy setting has paladins as religious warriors
paladins follow a creed, not a religion
thats the difference between a paladin and a fighter/priest

>paladins have magic powers because lol no reason not because of gods

Okay

did you just try to spell voilà?

>1 int

palladins are like fighter-effective damage/priest-buffs heals

They are just a middle ground support class that can still pump out the jams and a good class to solo with.

I wrote wallah you fucking kafir

Where'd you get your portrait?

>fight starts immediately after like 50 clicks through dialogue
>fight is hard as fuck so you keep retrying over and over again
>too autistic to skip all the lore and just click ATTACK ME
why don't they just give you an autosave right at the end of dialogue? like who the fuck doesn't get annoyed by this

Does dirty fighting work with ranged attacks?

...

You have about a two second window between the dialogue ending and combat beginning where you can save. I had the same issue as you.

im just saying what a paladin is, I dont care what your stupid game systems do with them

Thanks!

You can just save right before the combat (i.e. before the combat-only skills and potions become available).

no kidding. wow, is it only with llengrath?

You necromancers have no sense of right and wrong

yeah I just suck, but I did it, this is the only dragon left. honestly it wasn't as hard as the adra dragon at level 10

So what's the most fun class to play in this game?

Is there anything I should do in the base game before heading into the DLC?

user, you seem to have a lot of deflection.

Its not a Bioware game. You'll spend as much time controlling your character as you do the rest of the party

From a roleplaying perspective then.

We don't have census data, but I think it's safe to assume fire and it's related technologies have killed more people and wounded or destroyed more souls than animancy.

Someone please explain this Orlan posting.

Cipher have the most options

Pretty sure fire can't hurt souls and its far less a heinous crime to murder the body than it is to wretch ones immortal soul

>You'll spend as much time controlling your character as you do the rest of the party
Only if you play one of the shitty passive classes like the Chanter.

Obsidian is always punishing moralfags

Durance practically pops a boner talking about how many souls he permanently fucked up using fire.

Are there any other ways to restore health besides resting, wound binding ability and field triage ability?

I'm always "bottleneck"ed by my fighter's healths. I mean I usually have to rest not because I run out of spells but because my fighters get low on health.

Durance don't know shit about souls though

fucking hate that orlan, i only pick him up before the sacrifice pool and try to get him injured and on drugs beforehand, hes such a fucking nigger

He knows plenty about torture though.

Nah

Durnace also calls his god a a whore but is still faithful to her. He is by definition a cuck. He also states that it wasn't the fire that killed Eothas it only destroyed Waidwan. It was the fragments of their own souls that they infused into the Godhammer that sheered the soul of Eothas and potentially of the priests

Soul manipulation- Animancy.

Furries?

>muh customs
>muh culture
>muh racism
He's a cunt

no thats not my opinion it's a fact

>Be Priest
>Find out that all the gods are fake

Hopefully I'll be able to class change my imported character at the beginning of the next game. Dont make no sense to keep being a priest.

Adra Dragon you just had to spam with paralyze and the rest of the enemies were weak. With Llengrath, you got three motherfuckers and two of them are immune.

>disliking one of the best companions
Is your family tree just one big square?

You can even change races

...

Not the Godhammer, the purges. He talks about how there are ways to burn a soul with flame, to either brand a soul, or wound it so deeply it can never inhabit another body.

Then I will make the distinction that fire has never harmed anyones soul but spell-fire has and those who took part in the purges are almost as bad as animancers.

How fun is a Priest of Magran?

Like playing durance

I've decided to go full edge for the save I carry over to PoE 2, race I'm going Death Godlike, but what class in 1 allows me to go most edge?

Monk or Rogue, maybe Barbarian.

most editions of D&D have allowances for non-theistic paladins

Bleak Walker paladin.

what do you mean

>Death Godlike
>Mystic
>White that Wends
>Bleak Walker

Priest of Skaen

I shall walk unseen.

>monk
>edgy

you wot?

And what does the flame reveal?

Who else is playing an aristocrat?

Obsidian really needs to changes Expert mode into something else. It really makes people who don't play it feel stupid for not ticking it. Can they name it Hard Core mode for Deadfire?

>forums.obsidian.net/topic/96186-naval-battles-or-whole-pirate-part-avoidable
They bitched and moaned that the stronghold was boring and had no substance. Now they add substance and things to do and they bitch about it? What the fuck do they want?

Fancy swashbuckling exiled fighter

... what?

>having more than 1 int

That's probably one of the people who feels bad for playing on easy mode. Jason explained that is the reason why they changed the difficulty names. So nobody feels bad.

>Fighter
>Has high int and Res

For what purpose?

I have many questions.

Why the fuck is this shit posted every fucking day
Please stop, Cred Forums is not for advertisement
Talk about the game once it's released instead
That way also people who don't work for the company making it can participate

can we see your talents and abilities too? only a few fighter abilities afffected by INT I know since they are the only ones I pick

Oh please. There are threads for other games every day too user.

fuck off with this shit

72 cents has been deposited in your account

The shit can be avoided entirely user.

shareblue political threads aimed at voters are a thing. thinking obsidian would advertise on Cred Forums is retarded. if you see conspiracy in everything you need to get help, smoke less.

People "shilling" this game on here before release or after is not going to make ANY difference.

Yeah. Games that are already released. Games that will release in a week. Highly expected AAA games like the next installation of Uncharted or Halo or whatever. Major sellers or (for better or worse) culture-shaping games like Dark Souls or Nier Automata. And so on. And even then it's at most for two weeks that threads get posted every day.

But this is a relatively small time RPG that will release in almost two months from now. It's been posted daily for a fucking month already and I fully expect this to be going on until release.

They sure do. I don't think all 72 posters work for Obsidian, of course. At most one or two of them. I even think that OP might not be working for Obsidian. But come on. There is some funny business going on here.

Of course it makes a difference. I bought the first Pillars of Eternity because I read about it here. I won't be buying this one and that is also because I saw it spammed to death here.
(Will pirate it though)

youtu.be/vF_Y3I6DTX0

I used this, it is my third character, and it seemd fitting and fun.

wtf? Our plan failed. Quick! Stop making these threads every day!

Oh I see, you're out for personal revenge. That's a little pathetic.

I don't see any links, to go buy a pre-order? The only thing funny going on are the retards that keep coming to these threads because it triggers their autism to see people discussing video games on Cred Forumsideogames. Their were multiple threads every single day for every game people are hyped for, their are multiple threads on kingdom come right now. I'm an obsidian fan I like their games, it's not wild to think 72 other 4channers are fans like me want to talk about a sequel to one of their best games coming out.

Yes, very funny.
I mean, some games have threads posted about them a lot too, but those threads are not the same all the time. I never see threads for Pillars 2 being opened with anything but
>Comes out April 3rd. X days remaining
Also, these threads are the only ones I see for this game.

No... Where do you get that from. I don't like that the game is shilled so hard. I mean, I easily would buy it, but something must be done about the advertising. And I still want to play it, so...

Back in the threads surrounding the Fig campaign (and maybe earlier, but that's the first I saw of it), someone posted in every thread. After a few threads I started posting as well, because hey, people make plenty of requests for portraits and good third-party orlan portraits are hard to come by (aumaua, too, but I don't have any of those). The other two seemed to start up in the countdown-to-release threads purely as reply to the first two.

lol what are you so salty for? they made their own system instead of just ripping off D&D? neck yourself

>I don't see any links
...but you do know what google is. You do know what Steam is. And yes, there are lots of threads that people make because they are hyped for some game.
But daily, two-three months before release, and by that I mean for every day 90 days straight, with the exact same OP post? That is not only rare. I don't think that has ever happened before.

>lol what are you so salty for?
Hmm let's see...
>that is also because I saw it spammed to death here.
I don't know. Maybe because I see this shill thread for 90 days straight?

If fucking up kaiju Eothas with upgraded ship cannons isn't the optimal path I will flip my shit.

Get used to it.

>stop discussing videogames

Shit, 72 cents a post? Where do I sign up?

>it's not wild to think 72 other 4channers are fans like me want to talk about a sequel to one of their best games coming out.
Do you honestly still have things to talk about?

this isn't advertisement we want to talk about the game and are counting down the days.

>woo spoopy
did you ever stop to think about how affective advertising here would actually be?

they have enough money to get the game out in physical format have advertisements at fuckign gamestop. what retarded universe would they be in to think they are going to pull sales from making a single thread everyday on Cred Forums?

Do you mean to say that your contract runs until April 3rd. 42 days remaining.?

not really, have you ever played an rpg? everything you just typed is pure bullshit. they are always holy warriors

>they have enough money to get the game out in physical format have advertisements at fuckign gamestop.
Would you be surprised to know that advertising here is much more efficient than advertising at gamestop?

You're pirating the next game because you felt cheated.

So you are getting your revenge by stealing it and trying to stop the promotion of the game.

>this isn't advertisement we want to talk about the game
Do you honestly still have things to talk about?

you replied back like 9 times you fucking delusional schizo faggot, keep trying to derail this thread and i'll make another one. because I want this game that much. :^)

its a joke you turd. why dont you smoke less

I didn't feel cheated. Pillars was awesome, it felt like I was playing Icewind Dale again. Tyranny, now that made me feel cheated. But Pillars of Eternity? Nah, it was great, and as I said I am playing the next one too.

But after seeing these threads, I'm not paying for it. Unless... Well. Do your job my man. Make me want it.

>and i'll make another one. because I want this game that much. :^)
It's going to release on April 3rd. 42 days remaining. no matter if you post another thread or not. So would you please calm down or at least go to /vg/ where generals belong?

Not the guy you are replying to but between the annual updates and a fresh batch of new players with the recent steam sale. yes. There are people who wish to discuss the game. There are plenty of none video game threads you can be shit posting in but you choose on of the few video game threads to do it in

Kindly fuck off

no. there are like 20 throwaway threads on Cred Forums at any one time, bumping a thread about how lara crofts actress has small tiddies isn't going to make me feel bad for bumping it off. If we made a general it would delete a general there. this thread is active, has people and its not bothering anybody except like maybe 2 autist that think every thread they see on Cred Forums is a honeypot

What are you talking about that hasn't been already discussed to death in the previous 50 threads, I mean.
General discussion belongs on /vg/. If you want to promote the game, Cred Forums is the best, of course, larger population.
Do you want to discuss or promote?

Sure. Whatever floats your boat. I know that by the time the game finally comes out, I'll be too busy playing it to actually bother posting on here for long periods of time.

Stop replying to the schizo. Let him chase his ghosts on his own.

dumb frogposter

So when is this game coming out?

what rpg are you thinking of where a paladin is god aligned? regardless, this is pillars of eternity.

thank, you. this guys voice is annoying but I like his builds too.

>what rpg are you thinking of where a paladin is god aligned?
fuckin lol the shills don't even play rpgs.

I said, when is this game coming out?

I don't mind him, his English isn't perfect, but he have solid builds and are good enough at explaning stuff. And he have so many builds for so many games.

are you the one who made that fighter build? is that 3 PER actually working? do you actually hit stuff or do you just use the fighter area effects?

When is this game coming out?

>Finally start the white march DLC

April 3rd.

> how do I play rpgs
My fucking god.

Thanks man. I had to ask like 5 times. I just want to play a good rpg

Definitely. Think of the White March as preview of the next game. The story book sequences in the White March are way more in depth as well. Best DLC ever, ive played through both parts twice and I still have a glowing admiration for the story.

What is white march?

respec your fighter with shield and sword and pick more defensive stuff. Eder is always the last one alive for me, but he has a hard time killing anything by himself.

The expansion of Pillars of Eternity.

>Eder is always the last one alive for me, but he has a hard time killing anything
You are playing the game wrong. Eder is a fucking monster if you know what you are doing.

Hmm, there is an expansion? How much does it cost?

No, I'm not him.
And yeah, it works fine. I have to spam the accuarcy buff you get at l2 or l3 at the start at the battles, and the defence one if I get a lot of aggro. It's a dps build and not a tanking build.

What are you doing user?
You do realize you're being fucked with right?

No? I'm just answering his questions.

I didnt mean to ask if you were the youtuber. I meant to ask if you were this guyI like having eder taking all the aggro and tanking all of it. he kills things sure, but if hes the last one alive I dont actually expect him to kill much of anything. I like having a few supports and mostly burst or alpha damage dealers.

You answer a question with another question Watcher.

>dps build
>3 per

In all honesty, they aren't worth it. Its better to just specs adventures with higher Perception.

I finished his quest finally last night. That had to be one of the most memorable stories in a video game for me by far. Really sucks that Chris A Bologna isn't going to be writing for deadfire.

Yeah I like Salami's writing too. I feel a bit bad for him though. It's probably totally all on him but so many companies just use his name as a marketing tool. Sandwich with lettuce written by Chris Avelltwo as a stretch goal.

>You answer a question with another question
wat

New thread

It's worth it. Zealous focus gives everyone +5% hit-to-crit conversion if you take the critical focus talent. Doesn't seem like at first, until you realize it affects the entire party, including your rogue, if you have one.

I sort of want to make a new game where hes the only companion I bring with me and just serves as my conscience. it'll sort of like being a solo run but a duo instead. why? i've never been anti animancy in this game.

Mmm, nice, ass-blasted subhuman mongoloids have resorted to false flagging in order to sick th emods on us.

Stay in this thread, let the larianigger or whatever scumbag made that thread wallow in his own shit. Let this thread die and we'll make a new one tomorrow.

Keep going, brother. You're totally gonna destroy the shills if you keep this up!

>Let this thread die and we'll make a new one tomorrow.
I bet you will. Gotta make money somehow.

Where's that guy who loves iwd2?

That is not what I want, though. I want to discuss this game - once I, and other people, have played it. Which is two fucking months from now.

HERE. You fucks.
Well, there may also be someone else who loves IWD1/2

Ah, yeah, that's my character.
Watch the guide

>Gotta make money somehow.
I'm making enough money fucking your mother, I don't need extra sources of income.

>HERE. You fucks.
How's the npc mod? I don't like making all the character in my party.

He would have stopped it by now if he didn't want to keep being used as a living and breathing stretch goal. But he's probably making good money out of it too. Especially for the amount of work he does.

>I'm making enough money fucking your mother
How? Serious question, she is not rich.

>I want to discuss this game - once I, and other people, have played it. Which is two fucking months from now.
And we want to discuss it now. Don't like it, hide it. Stop embarrassing yourself by crying like a bitch.

I honestly wouldn't know. I do like making all the characters myself.

People pay good money for bestiality. The sow attracts viewers.

>And we want to discuss it now.
Yes, I see that.

Man I wish I had thought of that first. The reply, not the actual idea, because I wouldn't be caught dead doing that.

Come on let's ignore that one single guy and discuss the game. It's so good. I have been in every thread since the game started. I need you guys.

>normal guy
>next to him a guy with a rifle, some epic wizard, edgy shiny magical sword cool guy and dwarf rat person with 2 weapons.

> this is the first time you noticed this despite seeing that pic every single time you open Cred Forums this entire year

The rifle and flaming sword people are women

One of them are.

In pillars Paladins get so angry their swords glow. Im not even kidding. They dont worship gods or have magic of any kind. They just mary sue themselves into magical weapons

That's called magic.

Based

Just like in my dragon balls

Everyone use soul magic

This thread again?

> the flesh golems are completely reliable

they are begging you to "pirate" their game

> so much shill that he have to dredge 2 hour old posts so that it'll look as if people are reading the thread

Ridiculous

I did it. I started a new playthrough. I'm already having doubts about the PC choice, kill me

>kill me
Wish I could.
What are you playing as?

Paladin magic is just a different (is it actually different?) form of soul magic compared to, for example, ciphers.

>And though they are not always pledged to the service of a god or gods, paladins are so singularly focused on their chosen cause that their souls are continually creating a wellspring of spiritual energy from which they can blast groups of foes in their immediate vicinity.

All magic in PoE is soul magic, including wizard magic. Paladin magic just has a different form, compared to wizards or ciphers.

Tell me more.

Get used t it, bitch. You're in for 40 more.

If I was, you'd not be able to post

Fuck off, mongoloid. Your word is worthless dogshit. These threads will be made every single fucking day right up until release and you will cope with this fact like the pathetic bitch you are, simply because there's nothing you can do, except for being a laughing stock ITT.

That's not you.

Do you mean to say that your contract runs until April 3rd. 42 days remaining.?

Look on the bright side. These threads were comfy for like 20 days. That's pretty impressive, all things considered.

> I got you retards replying to me anyway.
Ya

It could have been the 20 days near release

Yes, my contract of fucking you down the throat will run out in 42 days. For now, keep sucking, you still have 42 days to go.

Why do I even come here anymore?

what are you talking about, there are a at least twice that many threads we'll have to make till the release? Orange you glad that you have fans of vidya on Cred Forums?

If you import a character from Pillars 1, do you get the chance to respec at the beginning of Deafire? Like pick a new race and class, kinda like in Mass Effect?

Which do you think is better: Pillars of Eternity or Divinity Original Sin 2?

Yep. You can respec everything.

You seem upset. Don't you have a game to discuss? I'm all for discussing the game. Which game do you want to discuss? BG? IWD? PoE? Haven't played PoE2 yet, so I can't discuss that, but...

>Why do I even come here anymore?
I don't know. You should be on /vg/

yes. of course you can. all that matters in the save you loaded were your decisions in the game. I assume if your companions died they wont return, same as npcs that are making an appearance

Yes, you can respec everything due to Berath's influence. You will also get the opportunity to generate a set of choices from the first game, but then you will have to make a new character.

>Orange you glad
Yes.
?

t. Obsidian

Pillars of Eternity doesn't have an old decrepit narrator describing sex moves. It wins by default.

fem hearth orlan priest of wael. There was a really nice look in my testing I liked: pikes pride+nightshroud+any unique med shield
however it's really hard to fit a god to it and that's the source of my doubts
magran and eothas are obviously out for overlap reasons
to fit the 2 nice orlan portraits (nyah and latest update blonde one), you really want some kind of chaotic good character
skaen is 2edgy5 that
berath is just as edgy but in a different way
left wael which is almost perfect fit for some kind of trickster archetype, but his flavor particularely in deadfire is oriented towards mage-stuff: illusion, staff, rod, etc. Which would be perfect but durance is already the "caster" priest in a robe, I want to make a meleeish priest.

>doesn't have an old decrepit narrator describing sex moves. It wins by default.
Sounds like it loses by default

How is a priest of Eothas an overlap? Because of Edér?

>Berath

Dont tell me you have to work with one of the fake gods in deadfire

Great. I completed Pillars on Hard with a Chanter tank as my Watcher. Kinda proved to be too boring in the long run, so was hoping to respec.

>fem hearth orlan priest of wael
No need to doubt yourself

>Berath is edgy

He is the least edgy god of death I've seen in a video game by a huge margin

When is this game coming out?

berath. berath isn't really all that edgy, hes just dichotomous

you seem like you are having a fever waiting around for replies. hows it feel to be sub 80 IQ?

I don't know anything regarding the story and neither do the backers, because Josh has specifically made the Beta bereft of main story content. I can only assume that Berath has some sort of interest in saving the PC or maybe he simply feels that the PC was sent to the Wheel a bit too early. At this point, there's only speculation, but I'm 99% sure Berath will play a role.

>No option to be a priest that rejects all faiths
What are they doing?

>The fake gods meme
They're gods by definition. Iovara is a slut.

>hows it feel to be sub 80 IQ?
I wouldn't know.

April 3rd. Just about the time these threads will end "because the posters are playing the game".

A priest who rejects all faiths is called a cipher, or a wizard, or a paladin, or a druid or whatever other class practices some other form of soul magic.

wait. are you saying the whole reason we can respec our character is because we die and get reincarnated? whatatwist

xotl

>Not class changing from priest to fighter for the second game after the revelation at the end.

It's because they changed the system in such a way that you can't make a fair character converter.

Oh right. I forgot. Curious to see how her Monk subclass meshes with priesthood.

its pretty obvious that you die and berath brings your soul back and then you get to pick the body

They are constructs by definition no more gods than any level 20 wizard.

>fighter

Eothas eats your soul in the prologue, because he's an asshole, but Berath intervenes. You heard it here first.

Not confirmed, but that's the theory that would make the most sense. We're getting Thaos'd.

> don't know how definitions work

Edér is so cool he doesn't need to embellish himself with cool shit.

berath's dispo are stoic and rational. I agree that he's not edgy in the same way as skaen, but it's still hard to fit to some bubbly orlan personality.
the real questions is WHY NO PRIEST OF HYLEA? or just generic priest like you can still pick in bg?

>Edér
It's not him though. ;)

Just defeated Concelhaut
When's Llengrath?

By that logic, the Greek gods aren't gods either.

Thats not an argument. it is canon that the gods are fake. Creations of the egwithians. This is not debatable. Are you seriously going to worship Galawain. A level 20 wizard claiming to be a god?

Berath is the god of doors and death. He's not the god of murder. He keeps the wheel spinning. Also there is no class that works with Orlan because they are a fucking joke race

In the swamp you have yet to open access to. Go back to Stalwart, you should find a new corpse to inspect there.

The Greek gods were made up my man. Not real.

If you've already done The Iron Flail, you can pick up the quest in Stalwart.

After you beat the "Iron Flail" quest from White March, go to Stalwart for a nice surprise.

How's xyr compared to Concelhaut?
Can I just cheese by sending tank first and grab all aggro possible while buffing to death with my 5 casters?

Pretty much yes. Greek gods were bullies who tormented mankind and whom you paid homage to only out of fear of them dicking you over. They played second fiddle to the titans and are a good analogy to Pillars's pantheon of fake gods

Hopefully in the future the old gods will become more relevant and you will be able to make priests to them. They may not act as often as the fake gods but they were genuine.

Now what?

What the fuck do you mean "not debatable"? What is the definition of a god? Someone that is being worshipped by someone? Then that IS a god.
Does that mean that I or you need to worship him? No, you faggot. IRL Allah is a god too, but you are not muslim, now are you? Well I sure as fuck hope not. Faggot.

She's accompanied by 2 dragons

>Can I just cheese
if you mean cast wall of many colors and win the fight sure

>5 casters
Holy shit faggot what are you doing

Depends on the tank. If your tank doesn't have godly fortitude, he's going to get assfucked. Do you have the Diving Helmet? Make sure your tank wears it in the fight, you're going to need when tanking Turisulfus' breath.

You're forced into a conversation and she starts with her forces closed by, plus two dragons. You're gonna have to run away quite a bit if you want to use that strategy.

This one might actually be a challenge.

Negative. A level 20 fire wizard can go around saying he's the god of fire and murder anyone who says otherwise. But that doesn't make it true

>Here let me draw a contrast to real life where gods don't actually exist to prove how a fantasy setting where gods canonically do exist is similar. By your logic every cult leader was an IRL god

If you have that many casters yes.
Stop being a gaywad and run minimum 3 sword guys

So, why didn't you just make a deal with Llengrath?

If people worship him as a god, then that pretty much makes it true.

Because she makes it seem like there's no option. She threatens you and you basically have to get on her knees so that you can propose that solution. She's a cunt.

i was thinking it would be preferable for a save going to deadfire. went against it because by the end game I didn't need the talent, just wanted dragon scales.

> a guy who can make girls' underwear disappear without even touching her isn't a god
You proved yourself wrong, you do realize this, right?

>She's a cunt.
Just like OP

When is this game coming out?

You could try replacing the Sage with Eb. If you can get her disposition up you get this badass combo attack between her and your character that can be used Once Per Rest. It will lift your entire party in the air to safety while pulsing healing on them and pulsing damage on a rather large area on enemies.

It is a fantastic oh shit skill that saved me against Havoc.

if this thread had ID's

Well shit I should have drank the kool aid, all those suicide cults were lead by real gods. And oh man the egyptian rulers were all gods. Fuck man.

I just like wizards. Pic related

YEAH!!!
I... I mean nnno. No, no. Surely no.
When is this game coming out?

I'm on PoTD and I have found melee to be pretty useless, at least compared to casters.
By the time melees have done one hit my casters have already destroyed the battlefield with instant crit aoes of doom
It's also been a breeze so faron Ironman with no WM meta knowledge because everything is always perma stunned, prone, paralyzed or petrified before they get the chance to actually do something to anyone but poor Edér the martyr, who has an easy time holding off his own anyways

>all those suicide cults were lead by real gods
In the eyes of their followers? Sure. Now, you keep saying that X is not god, but how about you provide a definition of what is a god? What are the requirements for being a god?

Right now, in the beta, it's the opposite. Casters are useless compared to martial classes. But I'm sure that will be balanced by the time the game comes out.

my nigga. that's how I play too. Eder is just there to aggro and take punishment. Except I let pallagina help too most of the time
