In act 4 now, and the 'optional' bosses are starting to get pretty absurd

Spoiler

5+ attacks per turn, with enough attack bonus to guarantee hits against my ~35 AC dudes and dealing 30-50 damage per hit. How are you supposed to last even a single round next to something like that? So far I'm just resorting to skeleton summoning spam while peppering them with magic (lack of uncanny dodge is their one true weakness)

Most of then lasts many minutes. Is a problem? Yes. But is not as seriously as people portrait.

Spending 5 minutes buffing when entering every map and after every rest is pretty tedious. There's no real decision making either, you'll almost always slap down the same buffs.

People farther in the game than me correct me, but I think ~AC 35 is low on act 4. Also 5 attacks per turn was something I've seen even in act 2.

Their solution to enemies never buffing was to just give em those buffs as permanent effects. Russian engineering at its finest.

hyperbole

they had to change how sneak attack works because they couldn't bother making the AI capable of performing sneak attacks

 

[Matalarata]

Guys, I'm not defending them. I'd love for any dev to spend monies on AI. I have a couple dozens of posts on the Codex where I speak AI in strategy games and what I dream about (a system where the best gaems from best players are analyzed en-mass to devise AI strategies). Alas, no one takes the mantle 'coz AI doesn't shine. That's all I'm sayin'

AI IS WEAK RUSTY I AGREE

I BUMP DIFF COZ OTHERWISE GAME EASY

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The AI for both owlcat PF games is basically nonexistent. SCS 15 years ago(and its precursor tactics mods) was far ahead of the ...nothing... owlcat has.

SCS is not "AI" even in the widest possible sense.

elaborate, I want a good laugh.

There was that one boss

at the end of the Beneath the Forgotten Lands DLC

in PFK who dispelled magic. Boy was that a shock.

"Fedora is better at D&D than you are. Face it. You cast delay poison beforehand anyway, not when you notice posion is used. Beside you used the communal extended version, which lasts 2 hours. 1 click, 1 slot."

Dude. My tank is my MC who is a dwarf paladin. Fuck your silly little 'poison'. You ar emore likely to poison yourself than me. LMAO I also don't make it a habit to run into poisonous clouds with my other characters. L0LZ



"Playing without Death Ward is... what? A special kind of tactic? You like being level drained?"

Restoration gets rid of it. They're the same level, and no need to spam death ward 'just in case' of energy drain. Now, when I start getting death effects, I'll think about it. Also, if level drain worked the same as some earlier games like NWN and sucked your spell slots so you have to redo them then I'd likely use death ward more. L0L I even bought DW scrolls early on 'just in case' and have yet to use them.

" Barkskin is the best source of natural armor period. If you have someone that can cast it and don't use it that's 5 less AC you could have on a frontliner."

Got no druid. I have a cloak of natural ac +3. My character has 40 ac unbuffed by spells starting chapter 3. I think I'm in good shape. LMAO except I'm sure they'll do some cheesy shit to make that ac meaningless. l0lz



"5+ attacks per turn,"

Act 4? Big deal. You played ch2, right? Stauten's demon girlfriend has 6-8 attacks, and she can energy drain you. :D he has 4 attacks as well. HAHAHA! And, you whine about chapter 4 bosses. You got past them, that should be nothing.



"People farther in the game than me correct me, but I think ~AC 35 is low on act 4. Also 5 attacks per turn was something I've seen even in act 2."

Yup. see above for details. And, I *just* started act 3. I have 40 no buff ac on my tank MC, and I saw Miragyo do something 6-8 attacks in 1 round. I stopped counting after awhile. L0LZ

Yep. Devour magic. Sadly he is the unique guy in the entire game which does something similar.

You have ancient liches with supra genious intellect who never casts dispel magic in the game...

passive auras for me, prebuffing for thee

Most of it was scripted iirc. Consider though that I have no fookin' idea what I'm talking about, cannot into software

 

[Joggerino]

5. Demon = CE

• Camellia (permanent role, for once!)
• Wenduag
• Woljif
• Daeran
• Arueshalae

Aditional Notes: Aru needs to be persuaded to stay. If one can stomach Sosiel, Trever may be persuaded to join party. This writer is unaware if one can kick Sosiel, but not Trever. Surprisingly well-balanced party, for a bunch of nutjobs!)

Can you tell me if among these companions there are any faggots, trannies and such?

Daeran and Aru can swing both ways as far as romance options go. If you choose to ignore their "advances" nothing happens. Your call.

Also sorry for the late reply. Been playing.

Thanks man. I hope the bugs aren't to bad.

Camellia can cast Barkskin, one of the best things about her.

I use mercs. And, don't adventure with cannibals. I rather not wake up with my arm being barbecued for a late night snack. L0L Still waiting for my chance to kill her. :D

Are you disabled?

I use old fashion quotes the way I was taught in school when I was quoting someone. Now, go learn how to get gud at rpgs if you gonna post in rog forum.

Get gud at RPGs said the scrub that departs with neither a druid companion nor a ranger. Move on, you're no true adventurer, I bet you never gathered your party and cannot venture forth

R00fles!

a druid companion

I will have no hippies in my party.

Druids are powerful fun

Lol, never been a fan of the class, just messing with Volly here. Now, Rangers, on the other hand...

edit: I edited inside the spoiler

 

[Fedora Master]

Barkskin is actually ubiquitous. Monks get it, Shamans get it, I'm sure certain Witch and Sorcerer archetypes get it.

Not naming the plentiful potions and scrolls, because consumables are for nerds obv...

Woe to thee that even a savage can fare thee outdone in erudition.

Does someone know how to trigger the option to upgrade your units available for hire ? So far I had the option to upgrade my archers and cavalry but I'm not sure what triggered it but I'd like to upgrade my foot soldiers.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Yes, Barbarians are exceptional.
