I know Russians are basically Mongols but what is this constant "Lunar New Year" shit everywhere. Fuck off with this cheap Chink pandering. I doubt they play or even comprehend western RPGs in the first place.
Do you really care enough to get butt hurt over this? It's a sale, just buy what you want. No one expects you to thank and praise the Chinese for every purchase you make while getting 20% off because of a Chinese festival

Steam Sales have been garbage for years. If anything Im butthurt they're directly catering to the Chinks with their Tian Xia shit.

But what is the new DLC about?

I.E. this game's Act 6, somewhere you can actually put what the last mythic level gives you to use.

In other words, CR 40+ monsters!!!

Bad news lads, I don't think I got what the game considers the "true romance" with Wenduag. Going over the guide again, I was supposed to get a cutscene after a random rest, where my guy talks to her about her daddy issues or something. I never got that because I probably picked a wrong dialogue option somewhere idk. Good news is that while I am pissed at my own inability to follow a fucking guide, I can't say I'm disappointed with how the romance turned out in the end. In fact, I like it a lot better than the other one.

From what I've seen of what Lagole posted here earlier, the """true""" romance ends up portraying Wenduag as an unstable and insecure loser whose daddy issues you cure with a good dicking (or scissoring, if you're gay). I specifically remember that one corny af line that went like "PLEASE DADDY GIVE ME PERMISSION TO BECOME A NICER PERSON" (paraphrasing btw) and that torpedos her whole character. Before, she is a hardass with a soft side, but now she is a pathetic poser that merely put up a convincing front. The problem is, you don't get into the Wenduag business for the emotional support gig, that's what Arushalae is for. You go for Wenduag for the boss bitch appeal, the tender moments you do share with her becoming all the more meaningful in contrast. She is the warrior gf for high test players LIKE ME, looking to take a break from the usual lovey dovey romances the genre is full off.

Fortunately, I got the conclusion to the romance I wanted, more or less on accident. I think this is just the regular romance ending. You still speedball the poison, pass out and have a chat when you wake up but instead of "DADDYYYY YAAASSS" Wenduag stays true to her character, telling you that, while she still thinks love is a sham, you mean the world to her and that while she still hates people, you're the one guy (or girl, if you're gay) she wants to be with. And if that's not the cutest shit then I don't know what is. She manages to articulate her feelings according to her own principles and stays herself, ultimately proving that she is strong after all.

No idea why the other variant is considered the better one. Goes to show how wrong a writer can get their own character.

Delterius isn't a martial class better for a Trickster? Or do you want to play a Trickster caster as the part of the plan or RP?
It's the RP that constrains me. Trickster goes around doing magic tricks all the time. I also favor arcane casters personally. The roadblocks I face are:

Perception 2 is too good a pick at mythic rank 4 and nothing can really compare. Unless you're a melee character going Mobility or something. It's full benefit is only online by level 19.

UMD 2 is actually useless. Wands can't penetrate shit. If UMD 2 allowed you to use your own Spell Penetration and DCs with Wands, then it would be golden.

Religion 2 has recently been fixed but, frankly, Clerics can already get extra domains can't they? Two extra domains for the better part of the game is not very impressive.

Arcane Knowledge 2 and more offers no benefits for casters. Like wtf.

Greater Mythic Tricks come online to late it's not worth thinking about them. Especially the second one.

Trickster used to be much worse for casters. At least now you can get stronger rays. But it's boring IMO.
You pretty well explained why martial classes are better for a Trickster. Could you play as a melee sorcerer (/ Dragon Disciple?) / Eldritch Knight? Then you will have spells, the critical feat line will become useful, and you will bash demons with a big stick. The critical feats will be even more useful with the Eldritch Knight's capstone ability.

trickster stuff.

Playing as a transmuter arcane caster / trickster is good in your opinion?
Not particularly no. Trickster has nothing that improves spell DCs or some inherent bonus to Spell Penetration. What you can get for your magic is x4 crit damage on rays and the completely normal metamagic. And you'll only get all 4 feats by level 19. Beyond that it's perks all the way down. If you want to play a Wizard play an Evoker and spam Hellfire Ray.

Nah, at that point I might as well play a melee character rather than an awkward gish.

Known issues:
  • When creating a new character, the character’s model is missing for now;
  • After entering some locations in Drezen with their skeletal companion, Lich won't be able to exit - fix is coming soon.
The fuck are these idiots doing?

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
I haven't played the game yet, but I still wish the DLC happens after the main story.

I wish some of these newer isometric games would do larger scale expansions.

The first DLC for Wrath takes place after the main story. It is written in Owlcat's announcement.

The English, do you read them?
Named the Inevitable Excess, the upcoming DLC will take players on new adventures that await just before the moment of their greatest triumph: victory over the Worldwound.

#1 You got serious issues when you are so obsessed with imaginary romance options in cRPGs
#2 Men that like warrior GFs that act and look more like men are actually Gays deep inside or cucks that like to be dominated by others
#3 See #1

Like it's a bad thing.
... OK gay boy...
Thank you. It's good to feel young again.
But I still hate those fucking dominoes and nothing will change it now.
It brings back memories of the USSR and people playing domino in the courtyard with a bottle of vodka under the table. Good times.

Need more domino puzzles.
