Gentlemen, I need advice. I'm in chapter one. I got about 7 companions, and I don't like any of them. They are repelling and annoying. Furthermore, I don't like half of them from mechanical point. It is not fun to control them. I have a strong itch to start the game from the beginning, hack necessary gold, and hire a team of silent stoic straight bros.

My question is what will I lose? Is there any good companion content that I will be missing?

A life. Just play a different game. This one isn’t for you.

Yo How exctally the game expect me to win against Staunton and Minagho when both of them are more than 10 levels higher than me? Is Owlcat's desginer using crack ? That bitch is almost 20 level above me. I only level 8 your motherfuckers.

Yeah lets make you fight a level 19 + 11 Minagho and 20 Stauton. Make sense
I think you are supposed to be level 10? I reached level 10 after getting Mythic 3 and I know for sure I missed some content in chapter 1.
You just need to whack the dwarf,
Minagho will escape in a cutscene

Just focus on Stauton, when he's down the fight is over.

i dont knwo the azata/aeon/angel equivalent .

Azata spells are more about party supporting. You don't have much offensive raw magical power. Lich is all about being a powerful necromancer. Azata is all about having powerful companions. You get a havoc dragon which at end game can give 45 spell resistance by casting a spell to party members. Which is crazy. Is more than spawn of rovagug in kingmaker.

Use spells ignoring spell resistance if you can if your mc is spellcaster , if he's melee use an absurd build stacking up to 80 ac thanks to the many bugs.

My Magus MC and Ember have with Greater/Spell penetration. Going to try do that then..

Mythic spell penetration is a must have for any caster. Except the casters hwich focus more on buffing like Arueshalae.

I’ve been going Focus first now. You get enough from items by the time you really need it and many early game spells ignore it. Prayer might be an exception.

Mythic Focus is always a flat 2 while Pen scales so taking it second should fine. Just in time for Mythic foes and you beat saves a lot better before then.

So an absurd melee build supported by buffing caster azata, that works too and proably a lot easier in rtwp.

My dad is on the final battle on CH1, second round of demons insta stuns and kills his party even with mythic buffs, he’s blocked.

Anyone do the fight on hard? I don’t how you would survive even fully buffed.

Azatas can make good casters too. Favorable magic is amazing for DC based spells, you can freeze two enemeis and force then to make two saves with a single ice prison. Zippy magic works for buffs too. So, if you cast legendary proportions, it affects a random party member. With lucky, you can get two melee melee party members with a single expensive dinosaur bone. But in offensive damage, it is more "hard" and expensive to make a good DPS Azata, but possible.

I mean, liches can deal 320 damage with negative eruption. Azatas, by using favorable metamagic(empower) + favorable metamagic(maximize), to cast chain lightning as a 9th tier spell ( 7 + [2-1] + [3-2] ), the initial hit should dish 180 damage (d6 maximized * 1,5 from empower) + the 2d6 + 10 from zipphy magic. Which deals 192~202 damage on the initial tick. And after hiting a enemy, it will hit a secondary enemy, assuming that there are only two enemies, that is 384~404 damage. It is possible but Azata casters are far harder to be played. And that strategy doesn't work against a single enemy.

At end game, there are enemies which only fails the save by rolling 1. At least in hard difficulty. Favorable magic doubles the chance of then failing the save. I din't played Azata end game, just picked my ch 2 save and rushed a bit to test. its features.

Any Azata caster can contribute to the conversation?

Uh, I'm storming Drezen and I'm 8 lvl... did I miss something? I tried side locations but 1) was raped by smilodons 2) got raped by ghouls so I assumed I'm under-leveled for it but okay for the main progression. If I take over Drezen will I be able to visit unvisited locs?

How??!
:what:

until people who actually play games began to wake up and post.

It's the same as their opponents - they want to police the content but not actually consoom it. Or vent their frustrations that the game is too hard (because SJWs dun it). As Mr. Metokur says, we just want to play games, but inquisitors from both sides have to purge the nerds from their uncleanliness.

On core, first time I did that battle all my dudes chain rolled 1's on their save. Not much you can do about that in that fight.

Is that Minagho fight?

yea i think so if mythic buffs.
mythic buff means your spells can't be resisted I think, and if you crit, u do massive damage.
so I casted entangles/webs and used archers to fish crit on Minagho which can one-shot her instantly, then fight is over.
also, potions count as spells, so drinking hp/buf pots gives u some mega bufs.

Do you have a haste scroll? I usually save one for this fight, but I think you don't really need as it seems that they nerfed that fight a bit from beta. Anyway, use turn based and just focus Minagho, try to grease her.

Yeah, apparently there are some minor changes, but nothing much.

Try to spread your boys and girls. Cure health spells give regeneration. Same with the ones that cure stats. Unfortunately, even "overpowered" it's still a gamble, because you can get stunlocked.

I wish I could see an alternate universe version of this thread where this game was made by canadians just to see how codexers would react to it

I wish I could see an alternate universe version of this thread, where the lesbian couple wasn't included in the game and all romances are straight, and thanks to that simple change all other problems the game has don't matter, it's an instant classic and all current hardcore wokefinder haters instead are slurping that Russian dick and loving the game, because it's muh based no-sjw Slav RPG saving the world from degenerates.

if you already decided you dont like any of them, then the answer is obviously no because their "content" in game is Party banter/Companion Quests. They'll still make up your Crusade Council btw

With considering what you have been saying, I think we can lose the notion that we in the west expect Russia to save our culture since Russia/Eastern Europe buy into and distribute the same franchises and work under same interests.
I just personally found it absurd that we in the west are seen for some reason to expect that, when Russian/eastern European made games suffer from the same disease. Encased, which to be fair seem to be free from modern writing senses for the most part still have a damn tranny sex selection.
