    It's "Guide to Travelers:", yes.

    You find first part somewhere in prologue, so people who say wisps don't shoot lightning would know that wisps shoot lightning.

    There is even a book in game that tells you the location, or at least mentions, a local
    Show Spoiler
    CR17 dragon


    but as I said, you can do without Cold Iron.

    That's the thing about difficulty and fun tho

    One person finds enemy they can't kill, and they continues to return to the fight and try and find a way to win.
    Another goes "lol thats retarded" reads solution and then proclaims encounters "piss easy".

    I know your intetions are good but I am 80 hours in... my warden is Kessen and my kingdom is pure shit , because:
    1 - I didn't know at start how to manage it.
    2 - I simply neglected it.

    So im stuck with disaster after disaster.... and I don't want to restart.

    I'm sorry, if you really hate playing as human then maybe this is the RPG for you.



    But seriously, it's a common design mistake to avoid tropes for no good reason. Tropes are tropes because they resonate. IMO, in a game like Kingmaker, trope subversion or avoidance should be used sparingly, and the focus should be play within the tropes and executing them very well. Otherwise you may get something like PoE, a game that fails in part because it, ironically considering what it was pitched as, lacks any organic connection with famous fantasy tropes. For me it's rather more enjoyable to see my human Paladin slaying evil and a necromancer summon a horde of undead, than to see some weird races like half orcs with weird unknown classes like inquisitor and magus.

    BG2 also only had 1 of each nonhuman race, except no halforcs even. Do you think it would have been better if Keldorn was a female halforc, Edwin was a halfling, and Minsc was a dwarf?

    She didn't spawn yet for me, google tells me it's further along Ch2 than I am. Will look it up, thanks.

    You mean stuff like level drain or attribute drain? That was my first idea, but don't have anything for it.

    What's the name of the dragon book?

    At the cost of getting another virtual smirk-comment from you, sirrah, mind telling us what book that is? Rather not read all of them, you see.

    What does Rebuild temple of the elk project do?

    Finished it, but only thing I can find is that "Pillage temple of the Elk" project moved to first place.

    Where is the "special region upgrade"?

    You have to get your capital upgraded to a city to unlock region upgrades.
    I realize there is a lot of time to post here while playing, because of all the loading screens, but I agree with Shadenuat you should just play the game man.

    Yes, apparently reading loading screens for obscure immunities is something I've sorely missed in the Bugfinder experience.

    I wanted a high-damage weapon without having to spend a Feat on Exotic Weapons, get off my dick!

    It's just amusing to me that so many screenshots are of Lawful (and sometimes Good) types. We really are authoritarian!

    Lol because not liking your cookie cutter group means that I dislike human characters. Or maybe I dislike them because they sound boring, is all.
    And yes, I think that in term of variety in characters BG1>>>BG2. I'd happily exchange Nalia for Xan, or Keldorn for Yeslick. (Also, PST companions >>> BG companions.)

    I don't even like Tolkien, but his books would never be such a success if they had only human characters. That's the part you don't get. Tropes are the McDonalds equivalent of character building; they sell because they are cheap to make, not because they are good. And so you end up with bookshops filled with fantasy trash books that are forgotten as soon as they published, while Tolkien remains.

    Restart. If your advisors lost the battle with the events's DC then you'll keep on spiraling.

    That's why I'm paranoid about time and kingdome upgrades.

    wait, for a sword saint? I don't think you need to take an exotic feat, it comes with your free weapon focus at character creation.
