I have 2 casters and 4 melee chars. I also have 3 pets which you can give crusader buff and cold iron buff to and buff their AC to 40.

Give Outflank to everybody, and watch what happens when someone rolls the high numbers.

Outflank, Ever Ready, on a row of Swiss Pikemen.
All riding giant dogs.
Samarian (Sarmatian?) meta.

Be careful with hyperoptimized one-shot builds: there are enemies in last chapter that revive endlessly if you kill them too fast (they are supposed to revive once, but it's bugged) And there are enemies that straight up fall and don't die if you do too much burst damage (yes, the same bug from the Kingmaker).

You have to spam click cheat that kills enemies from ToyBox to progress.

they finally found a way to block desi-tactic.

(I would just put an equivalent on Thorns/Iron Maiden on enemies from Diablo 2; like it was on release in Chaos Sanctuary before Blizz removed it cause of infinite dying ww barbarians)

Oh yeah fight with that Balor in Drezen yard, I over buffed and Killed it myself too fast? Anyhow it was living-dead for 5 turns till I realized something is fishy, turned off TB and boom Greybor did his thing.

 

[Matalarata]

On those you’re just helping the Crusaders and cleaning up the stragglers the oh shit Shadow Votary stop the PhantWeb

Ah, you mean the one right at the door by the stairs? I saw it, sicced the Smilo on it, which critted it twice and 'xploded it. I saw the message for the phantasmal web cast that failed, saw the other two demons and thought "hey, that was lucky :D"

I'm playing a Quarterstaff Master and just noticed it's actually a double weapon. Does this means it's affected by Two Handed Weapon AND two weapon fighting strategies at the same time?

It's just a 2 handed weapon in this one.

Fuck, then it doesn't work, Desi plays on RTwP.

it doesn't work. (sigh)

 

[Gangrelrumbler]

Charge is fucked again. Now it works all of the time, but sometimes you won't get your charge bonuses for no reason. Previously it was only broken in TB, now it sometimes doesn't work in RT.

Double weapons are just dual wield weapons.

 

[Fedora Master]

I still find it unclear how someone could do, say, the Jeslyn fight on Core without knowing beforehand what it entails AND with the bugged out swarms at release.

First, when I got there I encountered no bug iirc. As how I did it, I have a merc Druid. As soon as I realized what was happening, I ate a round of AoO and retreated. Used all the summon consumables I had found (the Mug, the Ability on my main to summon a Babau and a couple scrolls) and started using my high level summon, which all bypass DR, as does my animal companion.

Give Outflank to everybody

No, use a scion with outflank as Battle prowess, much better!

Swarms were bugged (heh) to cause damage every time they touched a character. I noticed the retarded amount of damage with the earlier rat swarms but figured it was just the usual Owlcat rusgob "You didn't like it? FUCK YOU HAVE SOME MORE" balancing.

And while your approach with summons is fine, I didn't have them at the time. I will readily admit that I horribly fucked up the first time I did the first act because the game automatically made me rest for days on end so I went into the garrison and the earlier tavern defense horribly underequipped.

The Shadow Votary in the Tavern did manage to wipe my team in Alpha with PWeb and Fireballs so you can’t just mail it in but you’re never in serious danger if you don’t.

I am kinda wondering if at least one part of Shadow Votary's combo of Phantasmal Web + Phantasmal Putrefaction is the part of Additional Enemy Behaviors or they glue the party and ruin your day with a ton of attr damage on any difficulty?

Double weapons are just dual wield weapons.

Gnome hooked hammer is double weapon too

So there's another thing thats fucked up then. The animations (which are neat btw) clearly make it look like a double weapon.

I'm not proud for saying this, but: I just sneak around and when I see them tp in, or come out of hiding, I just back off a bit and start the fight in TB. Surprise round and everything, they generally drop before they can cast anything.

Cheese, I know... but then again, Owlcat is cheesing me too, so... fair is fair.

 

[Matalarata]

Uh, no, it isn't. It benefits from two weapon fighting and such, it's just the way the ragdoll handles it in the inventory screen.


See below

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

If the AI didn't want to be cheesed to death, they shouldn't be fighting you in the first place.

It’s a nice way to clue people in that there’s more they can do with Nenio than tack a couple sneaks onto her cantrips.

What the fuck happened? Kingmaker had good Lawful choices.

Maybe it bugged out for me? Didn't have same issues with Orc Axe, Gnome Hook and Two Blades.

 

[Robber Baron]

btw the

Spoiler

-4 flag debuff in drezen doesn't work on the demons you didn't kill inside the fortress in case you wanted to cheese it like I did

 

[Matalarata]

Man... I really cannot say with Owlcat. I cannot check atm 'coz he's not in my party. When I levelled him up I selected two weapon fighting and the mythic feat, I remember the UI updating his BAB but I could be wrong.

Disregard for sentient life is always Evil, not Lawful.

'Once a criminal- always a criminal' and
'You die if you renounce crusade (without tribunal or due process)' seem lawful to you?

Siabre got me last night (sort of, great fight ended up barely winning if I wanted to drop 30k Resurrecting everyone else) by dropping Empowered Polar Midnight on whole team. Cutscene prevents full zerg plus they’ve got some Swift spells.
