For those who are in love with Regill so you had sex with him and simply didn't kill him.. I have news for you. If you kill him, your precious Hell Knights are so butthurt, they take their baall and go home after coming to your office to whine like little whiny school demons. rather pathetic, and these are the bad boys we are supposed to be in awe of? Hey, Hell Knights, we have demons to fight - your entire mission - and you are just gonna go hide in the corner because your pathetic lover boy got disciplined for breaking THE LAW? Go away, before I execute you too. Should be grateful I'm a goody two shoes and I deign to show mercy.

Also, back to Wintersun - fuck that bullshit tree and it its runover ability with the ridiculous attack bonus. Still, I FUKKED IT UP BAD.


Also, FYI, I really wish we can cure diseases in town after resting... I had character die because the game wouldn't let me cure disease in town so when I went to travel by the time I got to the next area, she died. PATHETIC. L0L

So what's the solution to the Playful Darkness fight? I beat that thing on Core yesterday after multiple tries by spamming maximized rays with Ember plus some Edict of Retaliation from behind a summon wall, but people said it's a puzzle encounter, so I'm kinda curious as to what the game expected me to do.

Haven't got to that yet, but when I read people on reddit post its stats to complain that hur durr optional superbosses are too hard, I seemed obvious to me that the 'puzzle' was to target touch AC which you seem to have solved.

I didn't ask them to join me. They showed up on their own uninvited just to whine about their dipshit loser of a member. I didn't budge. I laughed in their face, and told them Regill got what he deserved. NO APOLOGY. I'll win the war without them. Don't need losers. Let them go cry in a corner. I got my SEXAY succubus who is BETTER THAN THEM ALL. Now, I would like them more if I could convince them to take the half orc, her girlfriend, and that 'secret' serial kill off my hands. Then I be best bros with them and might even resurrect Regill. L0L

So far the encounters and boss battles are way more interesting than what we had in PKM. Especially a lot of smaller encounters.
Like the Vampire
in the basement that opens a fake wall with lots of spawn that start Dominating everyone.
Or the Blackwater boss battle
where you need to disable his force shield while dealing spawning enemies and lighting pillars that can hurt both parties
Also the small maps that were in PKM like one weretiger or some shit like that now have a proper and interesting encounters.
So far this is more interesting than Here is a hasted giant Troll or a dead in 2 turns Ancient lich from PKM.

Nonsense. Wintersun has two powerful throwing axes ON ONE GUY. I also saw a few more too. I saw a handful of bows as well. Basically every weapon is covered with uber shit.

I just managed to upgrade the talking weapon so it is now useful again. In fact, I'd say compartively speaking, war axes eem to shortshrifted.

The current patch completely messed with the difficulty settings and broke them entirely. Reloading a save on unfair now and all the enemies have the same stats as story mode enemies.
Finally rusty can finish the game!
How can he decide which loot is better if it's not color-coded?
Jokes on you, nigger -

  • Loot Colors and Filters
- ToyBox gives WoTR a Diablo 2/Borderlands style loot rarity and coloring system including
- Checkbox to have the game color your loot according to rarity in inventory, containers, etc.

Eh, one place in Act 3 has two good throwing axes. There's a +3 silence in Act 2 I think. Comparatively, bows are in much greater supply and most come with Composite anyway.

On another note, is anybody having huge performance issues in large maps with lots of NPCs ?
I was noticeable already in the market square although it wasn't terrible. Got worse in the lost chapel (the boss fight was laggy) and hit an unplayable high in the drezzen siege (on the wave fight where you protect a battering ram trying to break through a door). Lowering the graphics setting didn't seem to have an effect, but it seems that performance resets to okay-ish level after rebooting. My GPU was not heating up at all either and seemed under-utilized (RTX 3070, ryzen 7 cpu). I don't think my rig should be struggling on this game... Is it just unity being unity and the game just runs like ass or is there some magical setting fixing the framerate issues on large maps?

Go back to Widows 7 and you will not have any such problems.

Care to elaborate? In what way would win 7 help?

In way that I got Win7 and old computer and it seems to not have many problems people complain about. Since I doubt it is about having a weaker hardware so it must be due to software and spy bloat called Win10.

Ha, I just took a look at the Steam trading cards. Most of them selling at around $4.5 in my currency... except Sosiel, he's less than $2. Why does no one wanna buy him guys???

Also I like the soft penalty of too much resting. Even the first corruption level that gives 15% casting failure chance is nasty and you don't really want to do these battles with that. So far it makes me rest even less than PKM did.

evil eye would be nice if those bosses didn't have 30 saving throws.
Evil Eye still works regardless if they save, just 1 round (+Cackle).

If enemy saves are very high you snowball debuffs in onion peeling manner starting with things that always work to push through other things. But usually such enemies are optional, or NPCs help you, or whatever. Or you can use spells that don't care (rays).

DC wasn't 16-18 at 8th level
That is your DC at level 1 for level 1 spells while being naked: 20-22 in casting stat + 2xSchool Focus or School Focus + Racial/Bloodline bonus and Shake them for -2, that's already closer to 20.
.

She is level 9 now, she has a spell penetration (probably doesn't work, because Evil Eye is a Hex and not a spell? dunno...), and I've continued only her prior proffession. No multiclass. Though the text "Will save reduces to only one round", I didn't see that, thanks!!

I don't understand - using a good DEX melee character as a bad offensive caster - is it just because you are different? A rebel in our herd of sheep?

Seriously, is it so difficult to put a round peg into a round hole?

She's a full caster with a more than decent spell list. You can do basically anything you want with her. I mean, with Ear Piercing Scream, Arrow of Law, Searing Light, Sacred Nimbus, Blade Barrier, Hellfire Ray, Stormbolts, and Fire Storm, she can even make for an half-decent evocation blaster.
