So, how buggy is it, compared to the previous one?

Did anyone manage to kill the

when they were at lvl 2-3? It was beyond me on Core.

I don’t know if it’s possible unless your main is a melee guy. I am a Cavalier so I charged it enlarged with a great sword and manage to crit twice. As a mage I’m not sure.

 

[Reinhardt]

Azata master race?

You misspelled "Dwarf"

Don't forget to fill your spellbook on a specific character.

 

[ArchAngel]

So we all get access to Angel Mythic path at start and later can change that into what we want? Is there a reason to choose that Angel dialogue options at start and does that lock out other options later?

BTW I am playing on Core+ difficulty

 

[underground nymph]

Aside from builds autism is it any good?

Let Seelah take the hits ,reduce her, barkskin her and etc. Cam should be buffing party and demorilzing it. There are lots of scrolls and potions in the Maze, save them for that fight.

1) Angel and Demon are always open.
2) All the others must be unlocked first through quests or specific actions.
3) No it doesn't matter.

 

[Parabalus]

So I heard that there is some kind of respec option after the prologue/first chapter. Just how extensive is that? Can I change everything or just class/stats?

In the Beta you could change everything, even your Mythic Path.

Related question: when do you lock in your mythic path?

You pick starter power at the end of C1, doesn't lock you into anything. You pick proper path at the end of C2, afterwards you have options for a few AoD-style path switches.

Aside from builds autism is it any good?

+high difficulty even when compared to IE classics (not modded) and better than PKM - brutal Sadistic Russian DM (TM)
+actual neat dungeons and encounters
+difficult combat gauntlets, sometimes even with limited resting (like KoTC, although there could have been more of this) +anti rest scum system
+expansive itemization
+BG2 Strongholds (Mythics) on steroids, giving massive replayability
+C&C seems to be more of a thing this time (compared to PKM)
+some writing is so bad it's good

=crusade/minigame system, Russians forever being lovestruck by HoMM3 - but HoMM it is not
=some mommy demon NPCs as potential waifu material yet?

- if PKM writing was BG, this is ToB. first parts of original material are of the feather of Dragonspear Maestro
- underwhelming cast of companions
- graphomania, as if writers were allowed to fanfiction without any editing
- no mage duels, and AI still could be better
- some annoying good old rpg backtracking and slowly driving around map
- bugs; with the worst being your favorite class abilities just not working - wait for [insert unknown time period]

 

[Desiderius]

So far my unique critique is that Cruoromancer seems a bit nerfed

by description looks more like a larp kit, if you want just high necromancy DC, should be better kits out there.

Compared to the Enchanter Power of Azata as what's out there for Evocation I haven't seen much.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I picked the hunter-archer archetype with bonuses for targets engaged by the pet (velociraptor, of course) and it seems to suck major balls, that zen archer cringeboy is outperforming me by quite a distance.

And I'm typically someone who is really resistant to writing in games, but it's really shit in places, there are those little bits and pieces that can be pretty lolwat.

Game is great, though, I already know it will be a couple hundred hours investment at least.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

My game barely runs on my shitty Notebook but man , i just having a great time. This shit is everything that i wanted from a sequel from Kingmaker.
Life is good , the spider waifu is even better. Fuck Lann.

 

[Parabalus]

Skipping cutscenes with Enter is the best feature upgrade compared to KM.

 

[whocares]

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

So, how buggy is it, compared to the previous one?

Haven't seen any yet (I did report something but think it was a class feature).

As for class features...

Incense Synthesizer still doesn't even have tooltips populated (same since Alpha 1 and reported repeatedly, I started a list of missing class features which people supplemented and got thirty-some likes on Owlcat's own Forum and as far as we can tell none were fixed. You've just got to hope the five people inside the company who play the game get wind of mechanical stuff) so there's still a good many things on that end that make you roll you eyes. They took care of the people they needed to: Journos and rich Wokels like Soyer, but I repeat myself, by getting game running smooth, enough dieversity to make you puke, and extensive tutorials.

I committed myself to read everything this time but gave up after about five dialogues. Story arcs are solid - our own Conservatards in Murica are pretty much exactly like Hulruun going after January 6 grandmas and bombing the world instead of criminals running wild in the cities or securing the border - but the actual writing is just too much to deal with.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

You guys are nuts, Lann is pretty much the most level-headed companion

He seems like a cool fella. But i doing a Neutral Evil run first, so no Lann.

 

[Shadenuat]

This is somewhat of a unique gem, hence codexers experiencing cultural shock: an rpg with good gameplay, but bad writing.
can't just hump it like Disco or some broken eurojank because you can collect cigarettes in it. need to change the codexian wave u r on.

"ive met female paladin! this game sHOW DO I BEAT WATER ELEMENTAL. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PUZZLE. haha Ive met female orc!shit allodsbetrays!... HOW DO I WIN TAVERN DEFENCE???? [cue more confused noises as game progresses]"

Git gud. The bonuses you get are untyped so stack with everything, they just take awhile to really kick in. Atk/dam for you and AC for pet are exactly what you need though and the swap is pretty hilarious too.

Have to stay on top of the Animal Focus but it's really good too. Key to Hunter is keeping Aspect of Falcon and Hurricane Bow up and Enlarge on yourself. And making sure you have a good bow and plenty of Strength/Composite - you have the +2 one right?

 

[jackofshadows]

So the game starts with my char being healed. But being dhampir means they only were supposed to damage me even more yet the game doesn't reflect that like it's all good. 10/10

feel free to give any pointers if you wanna

And yeah, cringy writing was expected Idk what you guys are reacting at.

Nice, proceeding to download then. Gonna go lich and poop muh negative energy all over the fuckers.
Also, it will never cease to amaze me how they choose more mundane and beaten adventure pathes over actually novel shit like adventures in numeria.

I guess we can let ToEE slide since it had good gameplay and no writing, rather than bad writing.

Wirting is mostly ok , but the evil choices are unsatisfying, its not calculating evil its most often chaotic stupid. Like kill the npc instead of getting info from him .Why would i kill that guy ? i have nothing to gain from it, in a real rpg you would only get trouble for this ..
