I've found that about 80% of the tough fights in this game can be beaten by starting the fight then running backwards ten meters and waiting for the enemies to attack you.
It messes up the AI or something and they sometimes don't cast their bullshit immediately at you.
For instance, after failing a few times at Gressilla I tried it, and she just so happened to not want to cast her global infinite stun after making her do a few seconds of cardio.

That's actually classic BG 2 stuff. I know it sounds silly, but it makes my heart melt when I see the AI fizzle when I'm not providing it with a target. :D

Camellia must be the biggest pile of shit of a hireling (on the narrative side, she can be a useful companion with the right tricks):
She isn't just a bitch to everybody, she is an unapologetic evil cunt with no redeemable qualities, at least for anyone who isn't outright evil. To add insult to injury
after dealing with her after revealing her hobby, I looted her amulet. Well, that just bugs the loading screen bar, making it advance 1% at a time. Not sure if bug or feature, but if you off her, don't touch the amulet

Why would Gold Dragon be NG? That makes no sense or did PF screw up on dragons, too? Gold Dragons are hardcore LG. LMAO

So then Angel is NG and Gold Dragon LG, you say?

I don't know... feels like Angels have always been the stereotypical LG image, so I assumed Gold Dragon is NG. Curious.

I expected something bad, but this... I played creepy japanese eroge games with better tactical gameplay.

So it's been awhile since I played Kingmaker and I don't feel like reinstalling to check this. Could enemies walk through each other in that game? I am failing to see the point in positioning myself while indoors if enemies can just walk through not just walls but each other.

No, because then I wouldn’t qualify.

They are both supposed to be LG. That said, I'm guessing that if they were trying to have one alignment per Mythic Path they should have picked a different dragon. Not a huge deal but seems weird since like I like said Gold Dragons, by default, are LG. But, again, who knows what their goal was. They could have used another good dragon type for NG (I can't remember off hand which of the good dragons are NG but it isn't gold or even silver). But, Gold Dragon is definitely what you want for a 'mythic path' though.

I don't want any of you banned, but going by post content and the reason given why Des was banned you would think posting the anon stuff would get you on the ban-list. I really dislike his banning, I didn't see eye to eye with him always, but what is Codex if spergs can't sperg? Only selective spergs allowed I guess?

And this is especially odd since he actually sperg about the damn game.
agreed and Des was a really helpful poster, but if you're looking for justice on a lol random vidya game message board you're going to be disappointed a lot

They don't seem to in Wrath. It isn't exactly like a grid so movement can still occur in situations where it wouldn't if you were playing PnP. But I have seen enemies get jammed up in doorways before and have used it to my advantage.

Yea because having an expert on the subject like Infinishill determine your worth as a poster is such a great fucking idea.

So I decided to reroll as a 1 Monk/ 1 Vivi / 1 Arcanist / 5 Sword Saint / 12 Fighter build (And I'm just realizing how much fighter sucks!), with an all mercenary team (since Owlbear made all the companions have utterly unplayable classes).
And I'm just getting pissed in Ch 4 because Grease and Spiked Pit are doing shit all to these enemies.
Can't believe the game is designed THIS poorly, basically REQUIRING me to use cheats to even beat Core difficulty.
What have you done.. Desiderius must be rolling over in his grave.
