    Gonna try it again then. But I'm sure I tried using Lower Willpower as well as silver arrows against it, but it only just keeps saying 'SAVED LUL', so I assumed he's got a hard-wired bullshit immunity or somesuch :/

    maybe I was lucky getting a lower resistance in, dunno. Silver arrows cannot be saved against. Soulsap might work too, and deathpunch is godly when combined with OOD and Bully talent

    Also just did the end fight, didn't have problems.
    Use a summon to keep the dragon flanked. Cast a heal spell on Astarte if necessary. Astarte also does a mass bless every now and then. Keep the enemy summons occupied, I used an undead decapitator for that. Still missed with my rogue and fighter here and there, so I casted bless where appropriate. Dragon can be stunned by the way, sap willpower first, curse, slow. etc This finger of death spell also does good damage, especially with oath, and when the resistances of the dragon are lowered.

    I used summons (2 of them) to take care of 3/4 of the minions and just had them sit on either side of Astarte in downtime. Charm on 1 minion (the spider usually) and then just damage as much as possible with all 4 characters on dragon. The dragon would stay facing the closest party member to him, so keep the others on the opposite side or they'll get breathed (if resistances aren't maxed anyway, which they may well be if you used rubies)

    Guys I have a technical question.

    All of the graphics seem really bright/washed out. I've adjusted gamma but it doesn't seem to have helped. Does anyone have any advice, aside from me tweaking my monitor settings? I don't want to do that because I'm only having the problem with this game, and no others.

    On Kirill's site you used to be able to download the soundtrack of the older games - that should contain many of the missing pieces from D:OS.

    Matt Barton was overrated from the start. His interviews are uninteresting and his game commentary superficial.

    "He does? He ignores the fact that games like his favorite DA2 or even DA:O and MEs, AAA games, didn't sell "millions" on PC alone. I would be surpriced if any of the recent Bioware games reached 2 M$ PC sales in their lifetime."

    You are an idiot

    DA2 isn't my fave. And, i didn't even like ME3.

    Does it matter on what a game sold as long as it sold?

    DA2 sold a milion + copies in less than a week. It does not matter if it wasn't all on PC you dumb shit.


    So, now I know yet again. Codex is hypocritical. The Codex does love cool downs, hit point bloat, lack of C&C, and chosen one plots.

    \The more you know, the more you know!!!

    Volourn makes a good point as always. Who would have thought some Codexers would enjoy a turn-based game with environmental interaction?

    It's true about keeping the Divinity brand, not true about the money, though. They earned the money for partially funding their sequels by making casino games and stuff for Belgian TV. Swen admitted that due to being one of the few Flemish speaking studios that did such stuff, he could charge pretty well for it (i.e. one TV stuff coder funding himself + one extra developer).

    Fuck you! Most of his interviews are interesting. Go watch interviews with David Gaider if you are not interested in the industry veterans like MCA, Josh Mendel, John Romero, Roberta Williems etc.

    Yeah, it sucks.

    There is a pretty cool bug so that you can skip that shit: Start RPS, click on the portrait of a different character in your group, then click on the character who started the dialogue again. BAM, instawin RPS.
