Yes, in here, I avoided both threads for spoilers. Even now I'm just dipping and aswering ratings and quotes to avoid spoilers as much as I can. I will help you if I can though.

They’re all still playing 3.5, or worse some shitty clickbait MMO. I love me some 3.5, wish somebody would make another big 3.5 game but this ain’t it.
Try playing DOSII underleveled by two lvls for a taste of what they’re going through.
It's like a Ranger Companion iirc, so it grows with you and it's considered like a Druid Companion 3 CL lower than the char you equip it with. I sometimes use it to plug holes in my formation but it's mainly useless screen clutter because the dino in itself is not exactly the best companion, it's big and cumbersome, has a single attack and sub-par AC.

As I said, I don't minimax either. Heck, I make sure to give characters nice even stats that make sense from an rp perspective. And still I beat Kingmaker on Core twice with less bullshit than Wrath so far.
What really irks me: After restarting a few times with my current sohei build (with its bugged out mounted combat) somehow I have less trouble than with ostensibly more powerful builds before.
I was referring to a previous post of our resident fashion expert in which he said that there are encounters in the Gray Garrison where he had to reload a dozen times to win, lamenting the excessive difficulty of the game on Core. Personally, unless I'm forgetting something (and it's possible) I had to reload 8 times during the first two chapters (but I'm reloading every single time a character dies because I can't be bothered to check if I have scrolls of raise dead in my inventory).
So far, I'd say the assault of Drezen has been my favorite part. Probably too many trash fights against nothing more than babaus and those capra demons, but with Cleaving Shot and Vital Strike + Improved Cleaving Strike they rarely last more than one round.
I have no idea how pathfinder works. I’m not min-maxing, in fact I think I’m being quite un-optimal.
My strategy currently is having 7 melee chars and buffing them all to hell with crusader’s edge etc and deleting everything as fast as possible. Still waiting for a wall to hit where I can’t win using that tactic. Haven’t hit any major trouble yet.

Ah. Yes I agree. Was saying more or less the same to Thac0 on the Shoutbox today, I thoroughly enjoyed Drezen. Did it entirely TB, only switched RT for the brief times it derped. Fuck those giant tho, they definitely kept playing RTwP.

There's mind fog spam which might hurt you if you rely on that strategy.
I tried playing Drezen tactically with turn-based, but it was so slow, buggy, and laggy. Game is made for prebuff max and murder everything quickly in real time. Only time when I used TB now is in ambush battles and random encounters.

That X in Drezen Dungeon that summoned demon was a tricky fucking battle... had to reload few times and click through all options to kill x. Had to really on Ember with a scream to kill X. I liked how you can (need) to interrupt it. That is particular case where TB can fuck you over with initiative.
Codexers - a randomly optimal players.

Blackwater isn't any more fun the second time around.
I think it's my joint-least favourite location.

1. They decided to fix respec on a case-by-case basis. It means more game breaking bugs and patches are ahead. Don't use respec if you want to play without problems.
2. They are quick to react to deep architecrural problems. This is very good.
3. I will play the game after 2 weeks without patches. Promise!

Looks kinda optimal. One caster can give other buffs and you'll be golden.
yeah, I remember you said october would be good time.
and autumn 2022 also would probably have some DlCs !

I still find it unclear how someone could do, say, the Jeslyn fight on Core without knowing beforehand what it entails AND with the bugged out swarms at release.
People say a lot of shit yet I see no evidence of any of it. Making a short video of these fights wouldn't be hard...
So far all I've seen is
"Fight x is hard how did you do it? - - - > Silence
" How do I build y optimally?" - - - > Silence
Weird, huh
Do they fix bugs faster in this than in kingmaker? I've waited two years for pathfinder "refined" edition and there were still obvious bugs. I hope i won't have to wait two years with this one -though it looks more coincise in its scope, so possibly less stuff intertwined to patch.
I have 2 casters and 4 melee chars. I also have 3 pets which you can give crusader buff and cold iron buff to and buff their AC to 40.
Yes but by that time you're level 9 and have access to rod of extend or metamagic, that means attributes buffs last 18 minutes. You need 2 casts x rest top. Barkskin lasts one hour and half with no fuss needed. The few buffs that are counted in rounds like haste or Divine Power are either plentiful (and swift, in case of haste, you should have the hat) or very situational and personal (DP). As I said, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it TB. I gloated in it. It lasted as long as the whole ToEE, probably had more fight in it, was less (lol) buggy and I really, really, needed it. Gawd that was good.
