I see books now give a small bonus when read. Is there a way to have one of the companions get that bonus? My wizard main doesn't care much about glaives.

I have to say, that garrison dungeon, while impressive in how big it is, it's a damn slog. So many god damn fights, pretty tough ones too, and right now I feel the game is just trolling me. Opened a door, in there there are several small demons, a couple of half-demons and 2 freaking minotaurs. wut.

That's a nice one because if you try to open the
exit door
early they come out of the next room and there's a trap there if you try to come after them.

Great encounter design.

If it's too tough no dishonor to lower the difficulty until you learn the game.

Wasn't too hard, just exhausting. So damn many encounters, and they all go the same way - spam grease. Seems nothing else really do anything, the only one that does any kind of damage is the rogue with crits. Otherwise it's an endless click end turn for 2-3 damage each turn, many times 0.

My Camellia doesn't have Fencing Grace and I didn't get Keen. I use her more as a caster and keep only Paladindu and Spidergirl for melee.

The fuck? I only rested once and the tavern battle happened like normal?

How long did you rest lol. I was using pots to heal and it wanted me to rest three days.
After the tutorial dungeon. I did Wolfj quest, then cleared market with no resting. Went to tavern, rested for 9 hours, proceeded south to the tower and before I got there, ran into the messenger to get my ass back to the tavern for defense.

All good writing breaks the fourth wall here and there - Shakespeare is full of asides. The thing that makes bad art bad is breaking the other three, so Mary Sues suck because there's a real person in your fictional setting, likewise the donor cameos in PoE - you can feel that is off.

Nenio (and Nok-nok) are comic relief like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They lampoon a type of person rather than a specific person so it's something the audience (or player, or reader) can all relate to without being something from real life (like a Tranny, for instance) ripped from the headlines that ruins the illusion, the distance from the banal real that lets you reflect on it and re-create it.

Trying really hard to justify shit characters. By your method I could justify literally anything. This character is completely out of place in the context of the setting, has nothing interesting to listen to and is just over-the-top in all directions. Getting sick of hearing this shill bullshit constantly.
LoL you read his retardations??? Sad,mate. I just scroll past his shit,his opinion became irrelevant to me when he showed himself as a degenerate shill.

Regill is like this game's Noknok, mechanically speaking. An absolute murder machine.
The massive resistances of demons make physical characters considerably more useful.

What are you having trouble micromanaging? They have one action a round. Positioning? You can set a stop on spell completion to give them new orders.
Character speeds, like monks and mounted being so much faster than the rest of the group, some characters being super slow and always lagging behind, pathfinding issues that lead to characters being stuck in loops trying to reach enemies, makes rtwp a right pain in the ass. That's the reason I prefer melee because they just run in and smack things.

Casters are a good option if you prefer TB, bit the fact that they didn't do an alternate balance pass for TB mode, with smaller encounters and less encounters, make slogging through all those trash mobs, annoying.

Are you talking about move speed (cast Expeditious Retreat?) or Initiative?

Summons and Dominate spells (and Spontaneous Metamagic) takes a full round (as does Spell Combat) so if you use your Move Action you have to wait all the way until the next round to even start your spell.

Is that what you’re talking about? Casters shouldn’t be going thru congested areas so pathing doesn’t come up much.

You can advance time frame by frame using the v button to make sure.

So far evil path is evil. I got that spider chick and she seems to be actually great companion. Concrete motivation, no bullshit and in character. Can't wait to dump bodies of my other companions somewhere else. Suprisingly that elf chick didn't mind when i lobotomized whole tribe...

Well there are ways to do (a lot) more damage for both of you. Maybe if you didn’t dump INT you’d have enough skills to figure them out.

Cold Iron weps and ammo for Demons

In any case has nothing to do with RNG or encounter design.

Git gud.

Just going by how the story plays out (except one confusing thing, the flashback to the beginning square) I should have rolled a paladin or a cleric. Playing with my mage now feel like such a disconnect. The first couple of missions work I guess, but then you get trusted to lead the freaking crusade. My mage don't care about that shit at all, he just wants adventure, or maybe investigate the demonic corruption by his own (academic interest is what was took him to the city).

But alas, here you go chump. You are a commander now. I know I have been blessed or something by the gods, but I find the whole thing a bit silly to be honest. They are just giving over the reins to some random dudes that sometimes throw grease on the floor to trip up bad guys. Alrighty then.

And roughly half of all Mythic Paths end up with you punishing them for being so short-sighted in giving you free reign.

So I haven't been keeping up with the changes to the game that much - Did they made Core difficulty significantly harder from the beta?
I remember playing the beta and thinking how much I enjoyed the Core difficulty, it wasn't too hard or too easy. Bigger fights were hard, smaller fights were easy.

But now I'm at the end of Chapter 2 and I think I can conclusively say that the game seems harder.
More fights seem like a slog of reloading to get better numbers than my first playthrough, and my build is largely the same.

This makes me very happy to hear because the general consensus is he also has the best personality / writing and has the least amount of woke fuckery / hipster retardation. A win-win all the way around, will add to party.

I kept the VA on for the whole of CH1 but I have to turn it off now, it’s so bad.

And of course
The only cleric in the game is a faggot who likes painting, wow I feel so colorful
