I don't have the battle save where it happened anymore. Should I send this new one that was just created?

If it doesn't happen any more than I don't know but I think it won't hurt. They might not have a save with scolopendras so it would definitely help with testing and speed things up.

And if we are talking about that 4 scolopendras fight then when I tried throwing liquid fire into this field:

it ended up with liquid fire thrown right under Marcus legs and as a result Marcus standing in that field where LF was meant to be thrown.

Just in case, I am informing that single scolopendra is in the corridor from which I came here.

Roxanne has a powergamed stat spread for crossbowing even if there aren't any extra stat points and she gets like 20 points of synergy bonus in xbow from her shitload of starting throwing skill. She's the only NPC that's statted like a solo PC build would be IIRC.

Christ, is murderous psychopath how the dev team meant the game to be played, is it like Age of Decadence Combat difficulty? Because I won every fight in AOD but this game is frustrating as all fuck.

i find this easier so far <_<

alot of the QoL improvement (like belt pouches) plus party and positioning are op if you figure out how to utilize them.

The three characters that stand around a bonfire to be recruited are assssssss and they suck up SP that would be better used for good characters.

To be honest I'm mostly reaching difficulty with the river fights. I'm at the last one.

FFS, just beat Barca and used the elevator, didn't save in between and the autosave and the last combat autosave are both in the combat above with my wounded party members. Great.

Got to the camp with Yvar? Something. Beat his face to a pulp. I crafted the worm armor for everyone. There are 2 locked chest that crafting 5 won't open, wtf!
The game got a tiny bit easier now. I miss some fun dialogues though:(

Elhoim dude when I use a sharpening stone on my main guy with spears, I tried with bronze Dira or something, the high damage spear and Iron trident and I think some earlier, the stone disappears, bonus attack shows on weapon screen but when I exit the UI or switch char, bonus is gone but stone still gone. I don't know how to fix it, there seems no way to apply a sharpening stone to this character.

Are you sure it disappears? Maybe it's just not used because you didn't have that weapon active? You can only sharpen an active weapon (so you must click on it and then go to the inventory) IIRC. As for locked chests, Hieron should have 6 crafting not 5 (unless you've wasted his SP on something other than crafting) and the checks are 6 and 8 crafting.

Finished today my second solo run on murderous psycopath, this time with a blocker. Killing legionaries trying to break into your house has never been so much fun:

Found it considerably easier than with dodger, btw.


Now it's time to finally play with a party, I guess.

As I said, the weapon screen shows the stone upgrade icon and stone is gone from inv. Then I close UI and stone still gone and weapon not upgraded. I'll fuck around with it later to see if I can fix it somehow.

Anyone killed Roxana (before she runs away) with 1 or 2 characters? I'm not sure I can do it with my glass cannon Crossbow build.

Matt's analogy where he compared modern RPGs to an all you can eat buffet was pretty good haha :lol:

I haven't killed her in any of my playthroughs but there is no point any more because Elhoim removed the SP reward (it's a stupid decision IMO).

I nearly got her before, but she moved behind the fence and became untargetable.
If they went that way then it makes sense, I wouldn't expect someone injured to just let be finished off and wait till more arrows/bolts/throwing weapons reached her. Still, having the option to kill her and adding a challenge to her fights was a nice addtion (assuming it would be worth it and there would be SP reward).
