So, the Prone+Bull Rush effect from this ring works with ranged weapons too. No checks or anything. Should work with Snap Shot as well, but I haven't gotten it yet.
Anyhow, that's how I plan to beat Playful Darkness on Unfair - a field of Blade Barriers (Sosiel with all the spell penetration gear and feats), summons, all the AB buffs I can get, Prescient Attack from Eldritch Archer and True Strike. Plus 1 Sheela with Last Stand.
Darkness is immune to prone but should still yo-yo back and forth and get damaged on it's way to me and then on it's way back. Summons are there to allow time for me to cast True Strike.

Just killed playful darkness (IIRC level 14 characters and Mythic level 4). And well going without rest to boss of Act 3, that was bit harsh. Boss of Act 3 nearly killed queen. BTW does it change the story when she croaks, or would they ressurect her?

Queen can't be killed by npcs, just gets knocked unconscious

Just use lesser quicken rods, there should be a few around.
Wrath does not have any quicken rods until act 4. Only source of quicken pre-act 4 are a 1/day quicken hat and a rod that's exclusive to lich I believe

That's... really desperate.
I really wanted to like Ember, I really did. But her spell selection... ugh... apart from farting and sending some shinnies at the enemies, there's almost nothing there...

So I benched her. Nenio does the arcane duty, while Cam gives enemies the Evil Eye. At least she can offtank and be a mild DD/backline protector too.

Just respec companions like I'm planning to do once I play this thing. That has the primary benefit of you getting to toy around with 6 crafty builds instead of just 1

Well, actually, I did fully respec Nenio to a Brown Fur Transmuter. Best support/CC class evar!

Ember though... don't want to change her too much. Also like hexes a lot - even moreso with Jinx (that is one early OP weapon - even moreso with
Imp Critical + Mythic at level 9!). So yesterday I rolled her back a little and started the Arcane Trickster path for her. Should be better with her rays that way, while keeping the crucial level 8 Evil Eye, Protective Luck, Cackle and Vulnerability.

Only good hex you will lose is the one that gives free bite attack, and there's also the level delay (but not a big deal). I have been using Ember as arcane trickster in Act V and she is pretty nice for those AC 90 enemies with ray stuff, if you dip in vivi she also gets +2 DEX and that helps too. Does not fit the character RP wise but oh well.

I went to playing BG2 instead and I think the writing is better even if it’s not great, maybe I’m just not a fan of owlcat writing in particular. Haven’t played any of the new CRPGS.

Well yeah, there's a reason why bg2 is always in top 5 rpg lists. Its also a game from decades ago - one needs to accept reality that we won't be seeing quality writing like that all that often - and enjoy what we do get.

Yeah, kinda shame about the bite. Though my main is a kitsune, so already has one bite. Bite stacking is kinda weird (a little bit of hypocrisy here, as I'm one of those who started the trend in Kingmaker, I guess).
Anyway, I guess I will do fine without it here - and no Cloak of the Winter Wolf.

I am still holding on to the hope that we'll get Cleric/Druid/Wizard spell secret in loremaster as advertised at some point. Would help fix a lot of awkward spell lists.

And since I'm LG I can't even use the hat. Is it still bugged btw? I think it used to provide unlimited Quickened spells.

Conan Are you going to post the true story of the game? I’d be interested in reading it.

Everything can currently. Which is why I won't be playing this until June at the earliest.

You exaggerate it's not that bad
