Unrelated and indiscrete question but does Owlcat know you're posting here and supervise you? Like are there some in-depth details (for example about the code) you can't answer?
Well, that's not super great. Guess I'll see if I have a save before that island then.
He's an awesome damage dealer on Unfair, but kind of squishy. I gave him last stand and might try giving him that self-casting mythic mage armor buff. His range tends to make up for his squishiness if you have a better tank in front of him, though.
That was fixed in the previous patch, I believe. Or was it TTT?
Let me put this straight.
It wasn't fixed on those specific items at all since I was still using them last week.
I kinda got used to it LOL. I had to quit my DLC3 lich run half way because island that has a mythic level up shard didn't spawn any enemies or the chest at the end. One of the patches few weeks/months later said it fixed it but of course it didn't for me and my save that was already on that island. Closest save to that was 2 islands back and I cba to go through it again.. Also they keep ignoring my bug reports that I have been sending since previous game lol about some mechanics not working correctly like DR being applied vs bonus damage of weapons and abilities when your base weapon attack ignores that DR.. like monk style that gives bonus damage but not vs any DR of your target lol.
This analogy falls flat because the idiots in question were attempting to bully arcane spellcasters because.... reasons? Something about arcane magic being bad in a country run by OTHER spellcasters (did shamans or druids run sarkoris?) who just use a different form of magic that could just as easily be abused. Also if I remember right, I don't think Areelu was actively trying to destroy Sarkoris was she? That it killed the people responsible was just a bonus to her experiment to try and bring her kid back.Said kid was literally shot by magic-police for resisting arrest and killed just after he murdered a magic-cop. Killing millions and setting ablaze a whole country in paiment for one retarded death is the definition of Dindu-nothing, congratulation you achieved peak BLMism in your game. Oh and he literally tried to summon a Balor.
Areelu apologism is retarded, they tried to play the sob part with pathos and MOTHERLY sentiment but at the end of the day, she's an unrepentant mad scientist who committed a genocide for trivial reasons.
You live down to your name every damn post, dude.
That's consistency, m8t.
The beauty of bugs is that they cannot be done on purpose. Even reproducing them is difficult.
No it's established Areelu and her son were already demon worshiper by that point, and her son was literally killed while trying to summon a greater demon, no "nerd bullying here." Play the actual game and don't speedread the story part, the story is already barebone enough.This analogy falls flat because the idiots in question were attempting to bully arcane spellcasters because.... reasons?

They absolutely had it coming because bullying the nerd on the playground when that same nerd can kill you with the wave of his hand makes you a legitimate 'tard. Darwinism at its finest. Honestly some of the background lore makes it hard to take the whole overarching plot line seriously.
Why didn't Areelu move to another country?
Two answers possible :
That is true, in the original path Areelu was devoted to Deskari. Who wasn't a brute or a red herring. Even Owlfinder's idea that Baphomet is the saboteur of the duo isn't the case in the path, because Deskari is behind everything then. Which means the story is completely changed and the answer to that question must change with it:
I think that in the AP, Areelu was already in Threshold and working on the worldwound when Aroden died. Deskari was planning for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity and Aroden's death basically allowed all shit to break loose. In the game it's pushed to the sideline, I don't think it really impacted the chronology of Areelu's experiment. (Didn't played Gay-Bara DLC). Aroden's death is mostly referred when you're told of the young Iomedaean church, with Galfrey etc, coming to power in Mendev with demons invading at the same time.
When Areelu is testing you in Drezen, taking the GOOD option ends up failing to convince her the personality of her son imprinted on you. Make of this what you will.
Yeah that devs do that a lot, and it's a good thing too. APs aren't meant to be bibles and if the players go a certain direction the DM has to make certain choices. Owlcat has to make those choices regardless, and they chose to tell the story of a great evil witch, who dangled her service at the front of three Demon Lords to manipulate them.
Oh yeah I actually forgot about that. Damn, Areelu was a terrible mom. Good thing I chose to kick her down that vortex regardless. My interpretation that a true reincarnation of Areelu's kid would actually hate their mother is the most realistic. And it fit Trickster's plot as well.
They are good and competent enough. No one west of the Oder will make you a game where a decision made in the very first cutscene affects one of the possible endings. Not until ChatGPT-5 starts making games by itself.
Didn't say the contrary, I think the AP wasn't really good and the devs tried to salvage it a bit. But I pointed out the fact that Aroden's death impact seem largely irelevant to the overall narrative of the CRPG.
