Your mom
waah why men into men in my game waaaaaaaaah

Feminists: waah why men in my game waaaaaaaaah

Feminists: waah why sexy women in my game waaaaaaaaah

Feminists: waah why <insert thing that Feminists hate> in your game waaaaaaaaah

Feminists: waah why do games exist waaaaaaaaah

Apt comparison, both stances are grating and absolutely retarded.

Thanks for the detailed reply, so judging from what you've said Woedica seems to want and encourage an anarchist route? I hope any sort of moral judgement is not being placed on which faction you choose (or don't) at the end.

I've heard that she has a fair amount of reactivity to your choices in Poe 1, is it true?
Mainly in the form of dialogue. XP rewards are the same, item rewards are sometimes different, but nothing is critically better than another. It's :balanced: in a way that tends to make me indifferent to how I solve quests.

The writing sometimes stretches logic to absurd degrees in order to justify that "whatever you just decided, character X will not be pissed off/will roll with your decision". The few notable exceptions are when you cause a companion to leave the party.

One of the best armors, Devil of Caroc's breastplate (imho the best) comes from specific POE choice. And 2 swords that could also be reforged into unique greatsword that has whole builds dependent on it.
Items is much more important than dialogue flavor for me, worth to get at least some save with them.

A save is not required, its enough to make the right choices in the history section.

There is a lot of stutter in Neketaka and loading there seems a lot longer, pretty sure it was smooth and short loading at release.

Hate how switching weapons takes an entire turn, especially since you can't even change a weapon with one from an inventory or something.

What were the choices necessary for Devil of Caroc breastplate again? I always fucking forget.

(Restarting game with TB mode, so thought I'd ask).

Question about Sissak in Forgotten Sanctum:
Apparently I should be able to resolve this peacefully if I give him the Warden Contract. I do have this contract, but I can't give it to him, only say that I might look for it, which leads to fighting him
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

This fix seems to have immensely reduced the stutter but man, couldn't they have released a proper fix or something if they know there is a problem.

How do I make Aloth like me? Almost finished with Neketaka and I've maxed everyone except him. I must say it is was easy as fuck to make everyone like me when almost everyone is lighthearted. My Aloth is Anti-Leaden Key with Ilsymer.

Pretty sure nothing happens if he dislikes you, as long as you complete his personal quest and don't do anything that he warns you not to do.

My first playthrough he had max dislike of me and still stuck with me, probably only affects his ending slide and how he greets you iirc.

He's delusional if he expects anyone to complete The Ultimate.

Even if it were possible, it would require autism the likes of which the codex has never seen before.

People are practicing on twitch and all of them are using RTwP because the option to slow down time is still there.

I think someone said that they disabled slow down mode before for Magran's challenge but after a lot of complaints its enabled again now but not sure.

Did the new patch decrease performance? I started it up today but as soon as I loaded my save, my fans just started going crazy. Is there anything I can do to reduce CPU usage? I'm on a GTX 1080, 16 GB of RAM.

Limit the frame rate like that previous post says. But yes, performance has gotten worse and worse with every patch.

I imagine every codexer has an ancient PC and that's why you guys have so many performance issues

My computer runs recent games that should be far more demanding than deadfire with better performance and less choking, both strategy games and FPS alike. Unity is a shit engine for performance to begin with but deadfire optimisation is also atrocious.

The game starts to cook my PC whenever it is on character creation or level up screen, there is really no excuse for this. It is pure incompetence.
