Pink Eye , are you excited for zen archers?

The fuck race is that? half-lizard half-tiefling? manbearbig?

Here is Paizo's original artwork of this guy:

I bet that Paizo wouldn't have allowed Owlcats to change his appearance too much even if they wanted.

This is what we got, before the thread got archived:

 

[FranticDistortion]

The *** Castle *** Owlcat!

pre-alpha footage

 

[The Wall]

[Investigation skill] First word might be...throwable (?)

Throwable rat monks!?

 

[Pink Eye]

>Throwable monks!?
Oy vey.

 

[Sharpedge]

Did anyone managed to finish the game solo?

If you are talking about pathfinder, yes. You need to play a pet class though otherwise things like the puzzles in act 4 cannot be done solo.

 

[Pink Eye]

What! This doesn't make any sense!

 

[Xor]

What! This doesn't make any sense!

They're just fucking with you now and it's going to turn out to be something completely different.

 

[Ontopoly]

Cope. The fact that people have been made to stoop to shilling is still what it is. "B-but it's the least cancerous..." So you admit it is cancerous, yet are still willing to partake?

You talk about wanting to avoid cancer while you're on rpgcodex...

Forums are for people who want to discuss with more than 140 characters, using rational arguments. Online forums can trace their lineage to roman forums, and the greek agora before that. Pretty prestigious

This website let's you put as many characters as you want and there's nothing prestigious about it. Twitter has a good format for updates, rpgcodex has a good format to shit post. We need both for different reasons.

 

[Pink Eye]

Well. We're beat. We can't figure it out. I'm going back to playing Kingmaker.

 

[Sharpedge]

Well. We're beat. We can't figure it out. I'm going back to playing Kingmaker.

The O could be a 2, not an O. No idea what it says, but the initial assumptions that the O is an O might be leading you to the wrong conclusions.

The only balance needed in a single-player game is to have more than one ways to make your characters absurdly overpowered. Pathfinder has that. All Owlcat needs to do is make more enemies provide some actual challenge in higher difficulties, like they promised.

>absurdly overpowered characters
>challenging combat/encounters

Pick one. They literally contradict each other.

Only if you're an idiot. Everything available to the players can also be used against them. The rules are the same, and you can even "cheat" with OP monster abilities. Old games used to have murderous optional encounters hidden in the forgotten corners of the world. It's not rocket science.

Then there are no overpowered characters (what do they overpower when the power levels are the same?), only underpowered ones. What would have happened if BG2 was tuned only for a party of 6 mages being played at maximum efficiency? The other classes would be obsolete, even mages of non-efficient specializations.

BG2 is not "tuned" for having even a single mage in the party played efficiently. Following your logic that makes SCS/Ascension easy even on insane, because you can have mages in the party.

That's what I'm saying. You can't make your game with the intention of having overpowered characters and then tune the encounters/mobs based on those same characters, the other classes would be obsolete and useless. The logic of having overpowered characters AND challenging encounters is (at first a contradiction) loony. Unless you argue for only a few encounters being challenging and everything else to be steamrolled.

 

[TT1]

Maybe the "i" is a ":" instead. "Something Something : Owlcat"

 

[Maculo]

What! This doesn't make any sense!

Traveling Sidekick Owlcat.

lol. This one is harder.

 

[Lacrymas]

That's probably a name, a region or a companion perhaps. The O word could also be Ocelot.

Except that is how SCS/Ascension works. It literally makes work what you say it can't.

 

[Lacrymas]

No, it makes the encounters only beatable by the most efficient classes (it's not really true, though), which are no longer overpowered, making the others obsolete. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean. If the encounters are tuned only for the most mechanically sound classes, it stands to reason the others are underpowered and unviable. Why do we want underpowered classes?

 

[TT1]

Damm, maybe is "NAME NAME joins Olwcat"

 

[Lacrymas]

That's not a T, it's a J. Joshua Sawyer joins Owlcat.

 

[Tao]

"josh sawyer joins Olwcat" MonkaS

Edit: Dammint too late

 

[TT1]

That's not a T, it's a J. Joshua Sawyer joins Owlcat.

Maybe "Ziets and Sawyer joins Owlcat"
