So.... this buggy buggy game...

Loading time work arounds
I know this will bring the professionally offended purists nightmares. However, there are mods that allow your party to ignore encumbrance. this is particularly useful in cleaning up the game for better load times. The reason the games load times become more and more atrocious the further you progress, is due in fact, that all the items left on the ground by enemies and opened containers remain cached, to then be loaded back into the world at the place they were dropped. The more enemies you kill, the more you leave behind, the worse your load times will accumulate.

This fortuanantly can be fixed with a bit of proactive work by the player, all you have to do is enable an encumbrance mod upon entering an instanced area and upon exit of its various levels loot everything you left behind. When you get back to the travel map from your adventure, and this is the tedious part, comb your inventory for all the things you do not want to sell and decide to drop them on the world map. this item will be deleted as there is no instance to leave them in, and in turn will free up the cache. You can then just disable the encumbrance mod and travel will affect you as it would have all along.

They should just implement either manual destruction of items, or a timed despawn. It's common sense ffs...

Is this not the issue that POE1 had?

Ran into the first proper bug, Ch2 - quest with loggers and dryad hopelessly broken outcomes.

I just did that quest yesterday with my second character.

Spoiler

I told loggers to stand down and told nymph that we will get her new trees (feather tokens). Then I used diplomacy on loggers that they need to buy them and give them to nymph. Then half of them go way. Talking to Nymph makes her release the loggers and you get XP. Talking to main logger dude then you can ask for a reward and you get more stuff and quest finished.
On my first character I used option to go into combat and killed the nymph and two loggers she had charmed

Yeah, it's semi finishable. It's just the final woodsman who keeps saying you got his guys killed.

 

[Reinhardt]

I never seen class options before, this is second time. Was it always there or did they begin to add/unbug them?

Did this quest 2 or 3 days ago with lawful good monk and didn't see this option.

 

[Zero Credibility]

I also finished thy nymph vs loggers quest, though I noticed it's glitchy as well.

Spoiler

I talked to the nymph, then persuaded loggers to look elsewhere for wood. That bitch nymph is still not happy though, but if I succeed at intimidating her she leaves and takes the two loggers with her to drown I guess, because the foreman says they are dead. Not sure if this is intended, but if yes, succeeding at skill checks is not always optimal. Anyway, I go to buy the damn tokens, give them to her (wish there was a "And now piss off!" dialogue to that), collect the reward from loggers, quest completed. But the nymph is still there, and if I talk to her she says that she did not want bloodshed and runs away crying. This from the same person that threatens to drown the two loggers. What a bitch.

They should just implement either manual destruction of items, or a timed despawn. It's common sense ffs...

There is a mod that does just that:
https://www.nexusmods.com/pathfinderkingmaker/mods/39
"How it works
- The largest amount of memory uses the statistic.json file. The mod watches him and does not allow to grow above a limit.
- The mod adds a new "Clean" button to the loot window when you leaving any zone. It removes all loot and NPS corpses from current scene, that will further help to reduce size of your saves."

Unity mod loader thingy refuses to install on my gog game version, however, so I couldn't test it yet.

In the linked topic they mentioned that mod, people said that it can cause your save games to no longer work.

Holy shit, aasimars really should get visible wings. The moment this is patched in I'm restarting as aasimar.

dragon disciple aasimar.
double wings.

One pair growing from his shoulders, one pair from his ass. Improved flight mode.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Ass wings should give another batch of dodge AC tbh.

I did the same, but talking to the main logger the dialogue mentions the loggers she released are dead.

Also a bonus to dodge Reg's romantic advances.

On a side note, I'd like a quality of life improvement option: label all romantic dialogues as such. I can't really rp a good aligned character anymore, because everyone seems to take being nice as an invitation.

True, but the quest still finishes and you get some rewards.

Well, the canard configuration is proven to be quite effective.

I had to give up on Nok-Nok because it seems that it was the AI's Chosen One. He died each fight so ... fuck it.

how are you playing him? As a tank? Replacing Amiri with Nok-Nok has made my life so much easier on insane. The guy has not died even once so far and dishes out insane amount of damage. And he'll only get better as he becomes skilled in his new hobby - vivisection.

He is behind the tanks and he was good until I've reached the Bloom dungeon but then he started getting raped by the spiders.

Spoiler

There are at least 2 ambushes in the Bloom dungeon and Nok-Nok is going down fast.

But how? He is super agile, has great mobility and with haste can run away from most things (even on webbed surface) in a second's time. Also, what's his ac? what's the armor you've given to him? Assassin armor I suppose? his ac should be comfortably in 37-40 area.

In my run of the Bloom area he had a +5 bracers of armor. Best combination with his +9 Dex modifier.

assassin armor is 8 +5 allowable dex. If you take light armor focus it edges bracers + naked nok-nok (perish the thought) by one point. On the other hand you could mutagen + robe him and... god, he'd be practically invulnerable then. And our friend toro here keeps telling us Nokkie dies every fight. Just hooow.

ok, that armor must be something high level. Season of Bloom is Act 3, I doubt that armor is available there.

Assassin armor is available in chapter 2, although you need to kill a greater cyclops for it IIRC

What map is that? I am now in start of Act 4 and I don't remember getting that armor. Only Cyclops I found was in that Box in the Silverlake village and I didn't find any armor there.

It's deep in woods near verdant chambers, very small map, with only this encounter.

Don't have it. I will look for it.

Found it.

Spoiler

It's guarded by a big Worm Slug or something like this. The Cyclop is more to the South.

Good armor but Nok-Nok is out of my party for now.

That is 2 ac worse than giving nok nok a +5 bracers of armor and I am not sure if other two bonuses armor gives can make up for it. It would work better as a mithril chainshirt.

Some spoilers from chapter 2 or 3.

Spoiler

Stumbling upon an awesome guy ... with 35 AC.

Return of investment on all those points wasted on Persuation.

Sweat revenge is best served cold or something like that.

No more deaths for me. I love this spell

*I know Tristain is a traitor

 

[toro]

vazha Please post your Nok-Nok build. I'm curious about the AC. Thanks

 

[vazha]

One pair growing from his shoulders, one pair from his ass. Improved flight mode.

Ass wings should give another batch of dodge AC tbh.

if you re an aasimar you should get angelic wings, if you are DD you should get draconic ones. if you re both, it should be mutually exclusive and draconic ones tied to DD level

I don't think so (I still had like 243 days or some after finishing Season of Bloom). It's a stupid bug.

Spoiler

But I did save both Jhod and Kesten therefore it is possible that my game got bugged.

Edit: It looks like I got fucked. If you do the combo: go fast womb of lamashu to save Kesten and then Capital to save Jhod ... the game will consider that Jhod is dead and Season of Bloom has not ended.

This is what I get for trying to be clever. Great scripting. Time to reload.

What bug?
Feast exist as an option to remove unrest.

Not a bug, it's on a timer, so if you're really fast, you can do both.
