Why did they make the only well written character a manlet? It's comical and ruins the immersion, all this writing presenting him seriously as a strong and feared hellknight, but dude is smaller than a child, literally a random housewife could probably hold him at arm's length and laugh while he autistically screeches about upholding the law. At least Jubilost in Kingmaker was an alchemist, doesn't matter if you're a manlet when you throw nukes at people, but hobbit hellknight is just retarded concept.


It would be best if garbage immersion breaking manlet races like gnomes and dwarves were purged from all fantasy, but if you have to have them, at least make them something that makes sense, like gnomes as illusionists/alchemists, and dwarves as slaves working in mines.

What is the problem with power gaming? Is there any reason to play this thing if it isnt to power game the shit out of it? The first motherfucker that comes talking of "roleplaying" on a game that has a furry in it and half the cast talk like californian girls, I will throw a virtual shoe on his head.

There ought to be a middle ground between faggot walking sim roleplaying and hardcore autismo minmaxing. I don't like having dump stats or 1-class-dips into stuff that thematically doesn't make sense, but that is exactly the way you need to play this on Core it seems.
Are we even playing the same game?

Why would you need dump stats and 1-class-dips? I'm playing on Core without any of that and I'm doing fine. The only problematic encounter so far has been the one with the AIDS-ridden smilodons.
which build and which chapter...

Maybe your definition of problematic is different. Clearly I am not the only person who has noticed the overtuned encounters, they happen even on Standard. You beat every fight in the Gray Garrison on your first try? Gargoyles during the Regill quest? You had no issues with those? I don't believe it.

The other similar thing that irritates the hell out of me is the inaccuracy of the Grease spot. Numerous times I've carefully placed one of my chars just outside the visible graphic of the grease spot to attack an enemy and they've pratfalled. I think the devs are trolling us with that.
It seems both cone / circle patterns are a bit smaller than the spells really are, the UI indicates that I should not hit party members with i.e. Burning hands or Color spray but they actually most of the time do that if I try to position the cone as close to the party member 'circle' as it is possible.

Fauci has terrorized the West for forty years (he was behind the AIDS panic and helldrugs) and he’s barely five feet. History is of course replete with examples and the garbage GoT you phaggots slurp up like your mother’s milk has Tyrion.

If this weak shit is all you clowns can come up with again looks like we’ve got a success on our hands.

Uh, oh, I see I triggered a manlet.

As far as I now, Fauci never tried to terrorize anyone by attacking them with melee weapons while wearing heavy armor, I imagine it wouldn't end well for him.

Tyrion is a rare example of a manlet done right, everyone laughs at him because they can overpower him as easily as a child, so he has to use his mind instead of his muscles, and even then he gets no respect for his successes from 99% of people, because he's a fucking manlet. When people see a manlet is smarter than them, they don't start respecting him, they just get mad at being outsmarted by a manlet and start thinking about putting him in a bag and throwing that bag into a river - and there is nothing he can do about it, because again, he's a fucking manlet, and medieval themed fantasy isn't supposed to have SJWs that could save him, unlike modern world.

The only bad part about Tyrion in GoT, is when we realize that SJWs actually do exist there, and a woke quirky empowered womyn dragon queen SJW saves him from a natural medieval manlet's fate.

So just finished it, ending was as unsatisfying as fantadomat said.Maybe other playthrough will get something better, end up as undead tyrant i expected ascension... Also the difficulty reset clearly wiped out a few achievements. 91 hours playthrough.

Ha called it knew you’d be slurping that dorf’s taint. You clowns wouldn’t be so utterly predictable if you’d read more than one book.

You’re almost as bad as Pottertards. I’ve shrunk to 6’1” in my old age so you’re as ignorant on that count as on everything else.

The majority of people who bought this and gave it a good review probably won't play past Act 3,ever, anyway.

Yeah,that is to be expected from steam. It is consumer orientated platform,filled with mindless drones.

Just finished fight with the dragon. I was wondering why was it so hard for all my guys to pass the saving throw against fear despite me stacking bonuses. I've expected some crazy high DC. Nope. It turned out that saving throws Frightful Presence is caused fear is unaffected in any way by spells and abilities that give you bonus to saving throws against fear effects. Bravo Owlcat, you've pushed out unfinished turd but at least you've pleased all 5 gay people who bought your game on release.

Daeran has a remove fear spell, you have to spilt up party, and leave him behind to remove the fear. I did it by spamming exsanguinate, spell resist is over the top AC over the top, its overtuned like mad , unfun and can only be done by cheesing.

I wouldn't necessarily call an encounter that whooped your ass on the first try overtuned.

I do think the Gargoyle encounter was shitty, because spawning enemies from multiple angles combined with wonky AI and hitbox collision feels kinda eh in a game that expects you to have a frontline and a backline.

Surprised how many people are complaining about enemies spawning behind them. This is happening regularly in IWD/2, if you had played it.
