BTW. Whoever thought Fampyr was a good idea for name change for Vampire is retarded. It reminds me of kids thinking they're vampires or people playing Fishmalks in Vampire the Masquerade.

Personally, I am more triggered by 'Gul'

It's a pretty big Irony that Josh "The Balance King" Sawyer made a game where one of the stats is mostly only useful in dialogue :troll:

Nah, that spot is squarely inhabited by the dragon in the Crusader-quest in MM7 that I hit with a Wand of Paralyse and proceeded to kill with 1-damage level 11 attacks :lol:

Yeah I though more stats would be tested in dialogue. And despite all the talk about might being strength of your souls, Its only use in conversations so far is to intimidate people with your muscle.

Havoc Well, Fampir definitly exists.

I guess changing "i" to "y" is edgy, but I don't see that as particular worth getting upset over.

The loot is underwhelming... like in BG1. Maybe that's why? We need to wait for PoE2 for epic loot! Meaningful weapon choices! :troll:

You don't even need things like CC or heals here.
I think maybe the fight is bugged just like many parts of the game, since breath attack didn't seem to do anything to my party. I was just sitting drinking coffee watching my guys hitting the monster :?

Oh thankfully it seems there is another dragon somewhere out there. Gotta catch them all.
Still, with all the companions shitting their pants about the encounter and amazing presentation... :?:?
:negative:

IN FUCKING ELVISH?!

Thats welsh

Tolkien elves language was strongly influenced by welsh, but thats still a language dude.

It seems to me that a lot of people are going too easy on this game, I'm tempted to play it so I can shit on it. I'm still gonna wait for patches doe, sides playing BG2.

Has anyone come across anyone who actually talks before they attack in wilderness areas? I miss dart throwers, mad clerics and others rather than encounter #8 with pgwas and trolls.
I've been thinking exactly that. Monsters seem pretty much "waiting for me to show up, not occupied with anything". Remember the Xvarts' village? Why is it so difficult for developers to identify what players like...?

Yeah, because every good wizard should be able to twist iron bars with his bare hands. Uniting mental and physical strength in the same attribute is the dumbest idea ever. Strange, I was far less critical of the attributes system before the release of the game.

Tomato, tomato.

Suit yourself

Theres actually some funny things you can critizize Sawyer on for being a languagefaq though when some things are translated funnily. Like Pallegina can (with a bit of stretching) be interpreted as BallsVagina.

From that standpoint I will have lots of fun with Sawyers naming fetish.

Also, I noticed a funny bug with reloading persistence, where if you save, take an enemy to, say, 50% hp and reload, it'll still have 50% hp remaining.

Actually, all the bugs this game has concerning save/loads has kind of made me realise that HBS really weren't bullshitting when they said making dedicated saving in Unity is a bitch.

:lol: reminds me somewhat of that guy who applied a modesty filter to The Witcher (and of LundB's brilliant follow-up work, of course)

I think there is one guy in
Def. Bay quest about guy who sold drugs. To start it, go to inn in the first part of town, with that library temple. Around there should be a little chick, she will start the mission
. He had a dialog after I 'killed' him but I sadly don't had dungeons that time and I only could kill him.

Exact same thing happened to me.

What is the range of blunderbuss? I want to know if it's worth making a wood elf ranged cipher but idk how Distant Advantage would benefit unless using a bow.

Was actually beginning to have fun for a bit. But repeatedly fighting shadows, specters and wisps is annoying. I mean I get why they teleport to your characters, but that's only a fun gimmick for one fight. The second time it happens it starts to get annoying. After 20 battles..........
