fug how am I supposed to kill

Spoiler

the "nothing personnel not even my final form" tiefling that evocates a demon in Drezen?
I'm low on scrolls and hold onto my heavy counter evil stuff for the final battle.

You can rest man there are three different places in Drezen to reduce corruption. Not supposed to do it in one go.

The HoMM is great. All y’all are a bunch of prejudiced miserable fucktards. Make them keep developing into a gem.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Funniest bug ever.

Spoiler

I can't use the ESC button to bring up the menu needed to save or quit the game.

 

[Parabalus]

I am already planning to play an Oracle Purifier in a subsequent play through, but are latter acts filled with fire or energy resistant enemies? Am I punching myself in the face by focusing on fire spells?

You take Ascended element and ignore it, but you can't skip the feat really.

There are also ways to convert all damage to a particular type, e.g. braces which turn everything to electricity.

A3 is fine, A5 is a boring slog. Your mage does 100kk (not a type) in a 5x5 AoE, yet you keep losing the auto-resolve and have to play it.

Funniest bug ever.

Had that happen often, sometimes you're lucky enough to be able to use the gear icon.

First time happening to me. What was the quick save button?

 

[Reinhardt]

They give you most of the quests from the main questline

And even half of companion quests. Aru and Camelia quest are both given by tranny.

 

[Fedora Master]

Fear somtimes makes enemies run off the map somehow but you're still stuck in combat with em, forever.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Still I won't excuse Owlcat since I believe that early game saturation with gays was there simply to secure higher ratings with reviewers.

Why? In my opinion this is the clearest sign what they actually think about all of this Western shit.

 

[Reinhardt]

You asked it, we deliver!
Pro tip of the day: Install Toy box Mode and Enable Multiple Romance At the same time!
Enjoy!

But why? There is barely enough romances to have even 1 at the time. If you are not lich, of course, and not paying for sex.
Will probably end with succubus if she's not some psycho too.

You can also be sorc with elemental bloodline, which converts some spells (for example burning hands got acid dmg for you if you got earth elemental) with mythic feat it's pretty badass.

 

[dacencora]

Is this game better than BG2 for those who have finished it or are in the late game?

Worse than BG 2. Better than TOB.

This statement applies to the vast majority of RPGs. Frankly, this game feels a lot more like ToB than any other IE game.

I played through all of Throne of Bhaal, but, shit man, it was not a very good expansion.

HoMM3+4 are great. Homm5 is a mediocre at best downgrade of HoMM4. Now guess which one this game's crusade system is based on.

It's just one of those things to spice things up, how long can you keep up before hitting a road block etc

Gearbox icon in the lower panel also brings up the menu. You need to restart the game for the bug to go away anyway,

Dude, I cannot. They did they same exact fuck-ups they did the last game.

Dogshit optimization with shitton of memory leaks, visual glitches and game ruining bugs (including bugs that were fixed in the first game, like enemies becoming immortal for no reason). How fucking retarded do you have to be to make the same bugs AGAIN?
Half of the damn game you will spend on loading screens! Why does it have to load in to every open world battle, house, map, crusade encounter? Holy shit!

Not even gonna mention ridiculous number bloat to add artificial difficulty, because the AI for the enemies is below single digit. All the billion spells, feats and skills add into tactic of "prebuff correctly, dispell and right click to win". There is no clever use of geometry, no uniquely structured encounters, it's all "dump a bunch of enemies on you to right click".

Writing, story, plot and most of the characters are trash. Writers are mouthbreathers, who never heard about 'prose style' and 'show don't tell' in middle school. I haven't seen text this dry since I've played Outer Worlds. Half of the companions are cringe, the other half are just bearable (not fucking up grounded witty-guy and serious, rational, determined knight is not an achievement nowadays, sorry).

Crusade mode is pure essence of retardation and wasted resources. Why do you add unnecessary trash like this instead of improving other parts of the game? If people wanted to play constipated version HoMM they would just play one of the mirriad mods for their game.

Every fucking moment I spent in this game can be described as 'its fine, but could be done better' stretched over 100 hours.

Build autism, mythic paths and reactivity were the only things that improved in this game. All other aspects have either stagnated or became worse. I honestly wouldn't give this more than 6 out of 10. Which leaves me buffled with some retards that present this as god-tier game here. Get the fuck out with that bullshit!

1) Optimization - FALSE, but a better PC, I'm playing on HARDDRIVE, got fast loading. ( I got Ryzen 5900X)
2) Toggle extra AI behaviors. Play on the core.
3) Partially True
4) Partially True, I got a suspicion that they expected it to be easier to implement wanted to rid of it but discovered that they INDEED PROMISED IT IN KS, so they had to do it. So they did just "на отъебись".
5) True about char building.

SNOPES DECLARES IT - MOSTLY FALSE. Git gud.

You will understand what I mean by bad optimisation when you reach acts that were not in the beta. My PC is high end with m2 SSD, the lags and memory leaks (that lead to long loading screens) happen disgustingly often.

Finished the game on Core, AI still struggles and is compensated for it by huge stat bloat. Again, inability to make well design encounters showing (the Demon raid on Tavern was top-notch for example, nothing of that quality ever happens again in the game).

I liked the game before act 4 (or whichever the Abyssal city is), but during and after that- it just kept going downhill.

How? I've been pulling him out and talking to him regularly but the convo hasn't been updating with anything new.

you get two notes about finnean, then after wintersun you get a random encounter trying to get him back, which makes him smt like +3 brilliant energy
I didnt see his final form but are you sure hes longsword only or are you mistaking him for radiance?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I feel the neutral side overtaking me.

He can be both longsword or remain shapechanger, C&C.

For me it means that they cared more about journos giving them good reviews over some users getting fed-up with the barrage of woke bullcrap. I also think that you can't say that the game is unfairly attacked for being woke, since Owlcat itself is responsible for this.

Oh so it wasnt just me. I thought my keyboard was dying out.

Imagine the levels of obnoxiousness required, so Paizo would "fire" a POC employee.

I agree with this statement. IIRC it is called "marketing", no? I am an ESL, so I might mix things up.

It's like they fired Seelah, huh.

I'm not one to bring up the "upgrade your toaster" argument, but I'm playing this at 1440p with all options maxed out, on a machine that's a bit over 7 years old. The only newer component is a 1080ti (2017), which I bought second hand in 2020. I'm just saying it's not all that about the optimization. And yes, you need an ssd, damn it.
