Well, I had hilarious situation with Irabeth during the Drezen siege:

Now I understand what was the reason that they were absent in my playthrough but present in my wife's playthrough, for that battle.

Boo-hoo, I made a baddie decision and the game punished me

I should say that I continued to shit on Irabeth after she tried to apologize for the breakdown.

Guys is the game playable now regarding bugs? I've been waiting and I think they updated it a bit, but I wanted your opinion. I really don't care about not game-breaking bugs, min/maxing or details, but well I wonder if should keep waiting.

It's playable. There was only one (minor) quest in my playthrough that I couldn't complete due to a bug.

Half the fucking archetypes don't work properly and a good chunk of the items don't either.

Let this one cook in the oven for at least 6 months for a much better experience is my suggestion, but I guess if you all you care about is completing the game you're probably alright

Should we consider the fact that she is the only straight option for male characters a part of said social experiment?

Well, if you look at all three romancable female party members - Wenduag, Camellia and Arushae... Two murdering cannibals and one murdering cannibal on the thorny way to redemption.

Here I am not even sure where social experiment ends and sheer trolling starts.

Aru is a poor man fall-from-grace.
While Camelia like the

is just some "agenda" I am afraid. Rich/beautiful people bad, ogress/orc Irabeth (who also comes for a poor background) good (and poziel... he has even the good domain *wink wink*), I don't think there is any sophisticated meaning beside this.

Irabeth doesn't come from a "poor background", you dolt. Her parents are knights. She's literal nobility.

Does it sound like a nobility to you?

You really need to improve your own reading comprehension before dragging yourself into discussions like this.

https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta_zaściankowa
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gołota

To those not reading Polish - Both are terms for members of nobility who had next to nothing outside of a title, and often were as poor as the peasantry. In the case of "gołota" they didn't even HAVE a title to their name.

Moron. Thinking that "knight = rich" is some anime-tier thinking.

Oh, I get it. Special potato Nobility. Without land, money, title and bloodline.

PS Not that I mind of course. You should see things and people my Azata is generously knighting left and right in my current run.

 

[ArchAngel]

Thank god the biggest discovery I made during my failed Lich run were the proper choices needed to live up to Zacharius' expectations, all that work for the failed-payoff is unacceptable. Will doing a proper Lich run after I'm done with Demon.

Also, dis fight where you become true lich:

Spoiler

Take a closer look around the lower floors of your Ziggurat after Zacharius is dealt with.

I first killed him but got the broken phylactery. Then I did the fight again and bowed to him and he gave it to me unbroken.

If you perform to his esoteric expectations on a number of choices during the Lich questline, you can convince him to hand it over without debasing yourself and have him recognize you as an equal.

Though offing him after he breaks it does get you another nice little ending to wrap-up the Lich questline.

Spoiler

You'll have to go looking for it in the lower floor of the Ziggurat though.

Think Martin's hedge knights, if you are into ASoIaF. They were knighted at some point, and had a set of armour, a horse, a shield, and a sword. It was enough to be different from mercenaries, but not enough to have anything else.

Now, a hedge knight commanding a crusade... that has some implications.

[Stoned Ape]

Now, a hedge knight commanding a crusade... that has some implications.

This knight started with pretty much nothing and ended up being probably the greatest of his generation.

https://www.gethistory.co.uk/histor...william-marshal-the-story-of-a-remarkable-man

The things he achieved during his life are simply incredible; he almost got himself launched out of a catapult towards the castle his father was defending when he was 5 years old, was a hostage through most of his youth, then a landless Knight Errant who eventually became the champion of melee tournaments, went on crusade, was the swordsmanship instructor to the king, fought in civil wars, and was still leading the charge when he was 70 years old.

Yes, I was thinking about hedge knights too, but thing is, Irabeth was neither Noble nor Knight by Mendivian standards before Queen knighted her, as she describes in this piece:

Spoiler

And she calls her parents Crusaders, not Knights here. And whether she is considered Noble after Galfrey promoted her is another question altogether.
Not that it matters - no chance in the world that this dumb green thing will ever reproduce to proceed her bloodline, I mean, not after all the money and effort she spent to castrate her husband.

 

[LannTheStupid]

And she calls her parents Crusaders, not Knights here. And whether she is considered Noble after Galfrey promoted her is another question altogether.

While I agree with the rest, this thing is clear both in fiction and in real life: if someone who is considered the sovereign of a local territory knights someone - that someone becomes a knight. Martin has those rules stretched much more, but I think the person who is considered the queen - no matter how dumb it is - can make a knight out of anybody.

 

[Nerevar]

Witch is starting to look really good as a one level dip. 2AC from iceplant ability to cast mage armour 1AC lizard familiar but you miss out on the AB.

I think it might be worth it though.

Final Veil area, I got all the parts, I put them as it should go, last one left. It is right one but when I click on the hand it finds no pieces to place... fuck this buggy game!

 

[Daidre]

Well, half of the joke in Azata's rabid knightings is the fact that local Knight Commander, directly appointed by the queen, is quite capable to do it for real, with 100% legitimacy. But instead of rewarding select few with this great honor she just... hyperinflates it, for lulz.

 

[Longes]

Phew. After nearly 300 hours I'm done with WotR for a foreseeable future. Did Demon, Swarm-That-Walks, Aeon, and Devil. Thoughts on the paths:

• Demon - pretty cool, although being evil in this game is as pathetic as evil should be. Go on, kick Ember for a laugh, you sick fuck. The path is fun, has a good amount of unique content, and I'd rate it top out of the four I played. The main problem is that it's slow to ramp up and only really gets going in act 4.
• Swarm-That-Walks - barely playable garbage. Don't touch it. This is KotOR 2 ending level of bad and should have been left on the cutting floor. Nothing works, the Crusade Management is turned off because it doesn't work, all the stories dead-end. It's absolute shit.
• Aeon - autistic time cop. The mechanics are... alright-ish. It ends bitter-sweet, and like all the other paths suffers from there not being enough content. It makes me want to play an Aeon game, rather than a game where chunks of Aeon are scattered here and there.
• Devil - begins too late to really be interesting. You have to fuck up and get booted out of the Aeon school to enter and get ready to be fucked by Cheliax like an Abyssal hooker. But I admire the extent to which Galfrey gets outplayed here, and Devil's rousing speech is my favorite of the four. "We are Hell!" indeed. Devil also had my favorite mechanics out of all the paths. Walking into a room, dropping Edict of Never-Ending War, and seeing the enemies explode each other never got old. Overall though - not enough content. I'm also very sad that Asmodeus has zero reactions to the entire path.

cheesed the Transformed Nabasu with the Pit exploit, because some dumbfuck at Owlcat throught that it having TWO abilities that can deliver more than 100 DIVINE DAMAGE in 1 round was a good idea. I feel 0 fucking remorse.

Furthermore I got 1440 exp at the end, for all of that shit. Whoever designed that encounter deserves to roast in hell.

0 satisfaction. 0 skill. Just jank and cheese, and bug exploits. 10/10 would cheese again.

Nearly finished my cheesemaster Legend build. 105 AC without Smite Evil/Chaos. Add another 15 or so with them. Up to like 90 AB. Crits for 500 damage on 11-20. Immunity to crits, fire, ability score damage, tons of stuff.

[Ghulgothas]

Apart from her Phantasmal Killers being able to reliably and consistently kill after being boosted with Triple Spell Penetration and Persistent Metamagic, Nenio is worth keeping around just to see everyone she tries to talk to tell her to fuck off.
