Hi guys, I'm thinking of starting a new playthrough. Any classes I should avoid due to buggyness? How broken is the crusade campaign?

Wait a week or so until patch 1.2 comes out, it's big and nice.

Avoid Skald and many new classes they added. Avoid mounted classes, mounts become a liability really quick. Can't go wrong with martial classes though.

Crusade is fucked balance wise. Build your generals around magic and never lose. Recruit no general that comes without scorching ray.

Mounted combat is a ton of fun, though a little broken balance-wise.

Skald can be an awesome force multiplier if your main focus is martial power (but disables use of special abilities, so not very good for my characters).

The only thing I agree about is the dominance of caster generals.

Idk, my horse kept dying too often for my liking and had weird pathfinding issues when trying to attack large enemies like Vavakias. But isn't skald still mostly broken or did they fix that?

I play'd a cavalier the first time and didn't hit too much difficulties. Sometimes you can waste your charge bonus, but I think that's more a problem in RtwP and I played TB.

I feel like we should disclose which combat mode everyone uses so we can stop having these misunderstandings.

Hello, I'm Blackshirt and I play RTWP exclusively.

Can't relate.

Dataminers say that the upcoming DLC will take place right before the final boss, hence the autosave the game makes when you enter the last portal. Really would have preferred a post-campaign story tbh, retcons be damned.

Dragon Age of all things had a good way of dealing with this problem. If you sacrificed your PC in Origins and still chose to use that savefile on the Awakening expansion, the game just automatically retconned you from that Sacrifice Ending. Besides the only problem here is the secret Ascension ending and it's not even that good. The mythic path unique non-Ascension endings are way better.

I highly doubt we'll end up with a new companion like some people are hoping in that case. I really wish they had done a midgame or early game dlc in addition to this one instead of just giving us another Varnhold's Lot.

There is nothing to add to the mid or early game. The main hero is no one before retaking Drezen, s/he has to endure Irabeth's stupidity and the Queen's authority. So what - in a "power fantasy" you want to endure some more hours of you being bossed around by creatures without Mythic powers? I don't think so, and, fortunately, it seems neither do Owlcat Games.

I'll take some semi-contrived, semi-baked time plot and give me the opportunity to duplicate an existing companion. 2 x Regill.

Funny enough, Queen has her own mythic powers (even lvl 10 iirc) that were granted to her by Iomedae herself.

Avoid Skald, the rest should be mostly fun. If you want and like you can quite safely play as a mounted class, aside from suffering some lost charges (in turn based for me, I didn't play rtwp) it was mostly ok for me.

For crusade you should assign magical aligned general, scorching ray and additional unit ability are a must. Then you should be fine and have most encounters without losses.
