I wonder how big chunk of the budget they spent on VA.
Too much, because it's shit. Turn it off. Makes the game worse.

Not the majority, only "important" dialogues which usually means the main plot.So vast majority of the dialogue is voiced now? Maybe the only advice/lesson, beside not doing direct sequel, they could've taken from Sawyer and PoE 2 was not to do fully voiced and they ignore that one.

Demons and their resistances and debuffs make for an interesting game. Having to find cold iron or good weapons to deal with threats while fighting your way through a post apocalypse town is thematically cool, even if it is just the first chapter. Reminds me of baldurs gate and the good feeling of finally getting a magic weapon so you don't have to deal with breaking weapons.
How do you remove death's door? The prompt says to go to the healer in capital, but it seems to be leftover from Kingmaker. Do I need to wait until I get access to greater restoration?
Agree with this wholeheartedly, urban warfare in RPGs is criminally underused. Especially besieged or overrun cities. Using a barricaded inn as a base of operations as you push through destroyed market square to reach towers, mansions, libraries or other points of interest is so interesting and appealing.

vtmb is regularly considered to be one of the better written games on the codex and its entire shtick is good voice acting + facial animationcodex heavily underestimates how many people refuse to buy unvoiced games
So what? The game has piles and piles of dialogs, the standard of fully voice acting lead to a huge decline in the quality and quantity of story telling.
And Hitler gassed the Jews only during WW2, so let's take him in the party too. She worked for the demon cults ...in order to get strength to fight the demon cults? She literally says she did everything because it was convenient for her, there's no altruism here. Good and neutral characters have no reason to take her, while evil characters shouldn't trust her because she's obviously unpredictable and ready to backstab anyone and work for the other evil dudes (your enemies in this case).I'm sure of that, but the problem is that you don't know this unless you take her with you. Why would you do this, however? SheI don't see most characters taking on spiderlady after the revelation (tm). She's obviously deranged and untrustworthy even if you are playing as an evil character. There has to be some kind of video game writer summit in which the problem of evil characters/companions is discussed and regulated because it's ridiculous.
She will remain completely loyal if you're worth it.Who would say to themselves "yeap, she's trustworthy alright" after that? Maybe an evil character can take her in chains and use magic/drugs or intimidation in order to control her, but that's a stupid decision imo. She hasn't even proven herself to be a very competent fighter either.is a traitor, eats human flesh, lures children to be eaten or converted, admits to wanting to kill/backstab a life-long companion (Lann), and fights you at the boss battle.
She only ate human flesh once, that really doesn't count. The rest she did to amass strength at all cost, something anybody sane trying to organize an army to fight literal hell spawn can relate to. The choice for her was obvious
You're also judging her from a human perspective, even though she's a mongrel.
Just an arrogant PC is enough to take her.
Heh.BTW, I din't liked lich transformation, but lich powers are amazing. You can reanimate even the supreme Bitch
thats big broGentlemen may I present you the secret companion that I just recruited:
Obama
what kind of answer were you looking for here on the codex?And Hitler gassed the Jews only during WW2, so let's take him in the party too
Yepthats big bro
of small painter bro?
it's like fallen paladin from diablo. they should have made him the actual companion.
It kinda feels desperate to me. "If I take her, she'll love me and won't stab me in the back unlike those children she fed to demons". Same with those women and Ted Bundy, "if I love him, he'll change".what kind of answer were you looking for here on the codex?And Hitler gassed the Jews only during WW2, so let's take him in the party too
