    Man it feels like the game doesn't let up, I'm in Chapter 3 (I think, the whole Varnhold thing) and fucked around too much now I barely have time to react to the main quest and its hidden time limit. Fuck.

    Actually, it's pretty descriptive and physical. Also, there's a word "защекан" ( zashyekan - zah-shie(t)-cun(t) ), which means something like literal "cocksucker"

    I was not sure how this procedure is properly named in English, so I chose less graphical variant :hahano:

    No you weren't. With this setting when playing with less than 6 characters in your party, you will gain more exp per character (but no exp for chars not currently in your party). The descriptions might be a bit misleading and/or imprecise. So yes, in a solo run you will get 6x as much exp for your 1 character. AFAIK.

    Practical Metamagic is useful as well, particularly if you tend to be heavy with a spell school.

    To be fair for steam and steamers, many people in the thread are in "WTF?" mode.

    On the other hand the game could really explain class features better. It lacks a good summary for every class. An "info" button for every class that not only gives a general description as we have now but all major features of any class point by point. Some stuff is not clear or not mentioned even after you read every option in class level progression table.

    I'm kind of curious if the time limits on previous quests/tiers/chapters carries into future time limits so you can't ride out the clock before finishing some things "Safely". I've been working under the assumption it doesn't penalize you for it, but I have no idea.

    Fucking hell, this is like that MCA thread where I keep getting one hundred pages behind! I want to respond to some post and when I look down it turn out to be still 100 167 pages left.

    Meh. It's seen better days. The last 50 or so comics have been pretty fucking boring.

    When you're doing quests in locations where you only control the MC, all members of the party will gain XP, including Linzi.

    Main quests seem timed to the hill curse timer, and usually start a few days before bad stuff starts happening.

    I think you get "penalized"(curse timer starts when you enter capitol first time) for finishing chapter 1 early though, but supposedly you are also rewarded for doing it quickly.

    There isn't any point in exploring most of the wilds in chapter 1, some nodes are really difficult for non optimized parties and we cannot claim the resource nodes.
    And unless you never use rations on rest, its really easy to finish in 30 days.

    Burlew seem to have scaled back his postings. There were weeks when he didn't post at all.

    The silver lining is that Sluggy is ramping up like crazy. The last week was... game changing.

    Yep. You get a special dueling sword, called 'The Lord Protector' if I recall correctly, but if you rush to Finish Chapter 1 you'll have a lot to explore in Chapter 2, when the countdown timers have started. Overall I'm not sure if it's better to rush main quests in order to mitigate the negative events or if it's better to take as long as possible to maximise city and realm development / exploration.

    Well, I finished tutorial on Unfair with my dumb paladin (future) shield basher with 15 str and 15 dex. Finale was Linzi hiding behind pillar gulping healpots and sometimes running out and pouring pot into my dude, while Amiri was chunking things. She fell just landing last hit on main baddie.

    All other fights were won by Charge with +2 AR & Flank and double casting Daze on some other dude.

    The 3 assassins was Charge and chunk 1 dude, and use up most spells on Purple Toad on another & Daze. Early baddies have Will +3, so 2 Daze = 75% chance to permastunlock 1 enemy.

    So, basically,

    Daze.

    You do recall correctly, you get a +2 Dueling Sword with the "Loyal" enhancement. (-5 to hit against friendlies, useful if you get charmed/dominated and with the Necklace that provokes AoOs on your own team)

    I've never played P&P, but hovering over stats makes it pretty evident which primary classes use what for casting. Illiteracy seems to be a human right these days.
    Though some of the descriptions could be a bit clearer. The character creation isn't that clear with subclasses that use different stats like in case of eldritch scions being charisma based.

    BG enforced stat minimums on classes but it didn't go as far as enforcing the spell level restrictions. :M

    just noticed Valerie has Feat "Atheism"
    hope my dorf paladin would eventually kotor2-out it and turn her into proper valkyrie-waifu

    judging by description it's not the greatest thing though since local goddess still mehs you and can throw on some forgotten shitty plane of existence.

    Jaethal is ok. Nigga is ok. Nok-Nok is ok. Jubilost and Valerie are passable. Others are too annoying.
    So anyone found a way to change companions portraits?
