You mean you don't even need to CHARGE! and can just cut them down right on spot? Where is the catch?Ahhhh yes

Your allies are falling to the gameplay one by one like leaves in the wind torn from a great tree. Would you be the one not to fall, or the last? We even have Princess Volourn now. Your case is doomed.lol you're kidding me. Owltranny just keeps getting worse and worse.they made the storyteller in to a fag
Considering 2 of bioware mains were 1 ukranian and 1 polish (or 2 ukranians) (descendants of immigrants? check their family names) it would be just returning back lol.They will be indeed, because I do not remember EA offices in Russia, and without EA we might still have had Bioware.it appears bioware's only sin was not moving their headquarters to eastern europe, then they'd be rpgcodex's golden child
Man the trap wires are next level in the Leper Cave. You have to fight the boss (which lets buffs run out) to get to last section.
Not to mention that writing is on fanfic levels.
you are free to read my fanatical revio of the gaem: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...us-release-thread.139979/page-20#post-7481026This is the problem with you retards. Because you act like a group with your fanatical attitude towards the game
The argument on skill rises often, because it is true. Many posters here have problems with a game even on lower difficulties. Here, on RPG Codex, which is supposed to be the most grognard site, not on crappy steam forums, we are reading about "overtuned" encounters (thrown on your party of 1 custom + 5 very minmaxed companions, they have stats better than you) and "impossible" enemies (most of which usually can be 1 shot with prebuffed party).why is the counter argument always this low IQ take on skill?
What aspects? Char building good? beyond grognardism.I'm enjoying it for its strengths like the combat system but the game is very flawed with regards to other aspects

It is not us who are fanatics, because we can spacebar through some shitty early game writing because we are actual gamers, and enjoy playing games.

Levels cool? Cool. first game was BG1, here they got familiar with engine and give you way above anything you'll see in current RPGs.
Grafix ok? ok.
itemization good? pretty good.
writing, is it andromeda? does Seelah grammar nazi you about pronouncs? is it zevrans blowing into your ear? half of companions are quite alright. not in particular worse than, idk, NWN2, some I'd say even slightly better. +secret companions, and ++mythic companions. you just havent found them all yet.
does game present you with many choices and skill checks? it does. you can jail and kill most characters you hate too.
so whats with all the fucking whining for the sake of whining?
No it isn't Mythics are awesome, they provide you with many lulz, actual better writing, building Ziggurats, turning NPCs into undead, all that thing.As for other aspects, anything relating to story, writing, companions and how they interplay with the setting are mediocre to just horrendous.
That was all Delilah could feel as she writhed uncontrollably on the cold, stone manor floor. Her father stood menacingly over here in the family's large drawing-room. With each flick of his wand, blinding pain surged through her petite body, unlike anything she had ever felt before. Dark crimson blood tattered her pale blond hair and dotted her pale skin beneath the tears in her Hufflepuff Quiddich jumper. Well, his jumper. At least, it used to be. Then, for a moment, the spell lifted. Two days before she was set to begin her fifth year at Hogwarts, her father had found out where her loyalties lie.

Even Chapter 2 writing is already much better than Ch1, you do feel like crusadeh storming Drezen; and Ch4 is basically NWN1-addon but with more succubusses.
Haven't stumbled on Daeran at all, but yes channels would help me a ton, I have no healing atm. I found ember and that's about it. I think I might have taken a wrong turn in the market square lol (to the area past athletics checks). I feel I really lack damage too. I play on hard, and while my sorcerer is doing fine controlling fights, I have trouble killing stuff especially when I am out of buffs for Seelah. Camelia doesn't have fencing grace yet (need 1 more level) so her damage is sad rn. Treat affliction is 1/day though and it seems it only removes 1 disease. Betwen Ghouls, rat swarms, centipedes and demons there is so many sources of afllictions. But yeah, those 25g scrolls for +4 saves vs disease are just mandatory, I just didn't expect so much of that to deal with this early... live and learn.Or you can pick a caster class like Hagbound (unfortunately her claws are bugged at the moment - biggest problem with current release is missing/dysfunctional class abilities) that can attack early then cast big spells late.
Damn, that first timed event came so fast (3 days LOL) after I had to rest forever to heal my negative stats, knowing owlcat not going to certain areas before that probably had consequences. I am probably gonna replay that first part and skip the shadow/undead area of the market this time that was completely pointless and cost me so much. I also definitely should have picked the anti disease aura on ember instead of evil eye, got greedy.
Still am really bothered by the low zoom, I really hope some bag of tricks like mod will fix that in the future. Tiny streets + low zoom is really not a good combo, missing the wide grasslands of kingmaker.
Disease is manageable with Treat Affliction. You can buy one Death Ward scroll if you’re worried about lvl Drain. Daeran comes with Restoration, Lesser for ability drain so no reason to spam rest for that.
Protective Luck can be a decent early choice for Ember and just spam it on whoever is taking the brunt of the damage. Remove Sickness from Daeran is a long-lasting + 4 saves vs Disease.
He’s good to have along early since he can Channel to heal or AoE Undead then Sound Burst stuff to interrupt casters and make things easier to hit and keep Bless and Shield of Faith up to free up Cams slots for Prot Evil or whatever.

You never provide any examples of what you think is "uninspired", that's the thing. You don't really give any proper breakdowns of the writing, ie why particular companion is absolutely horrendous & insuferable, for example. Whats uninspired by building Ziggurat?I disagree that Mythic paths are "awesome" but I do think they are an interesting take which caught my eye for this game. They are however only so when viewed in a vacuum. Once you include their storyline paths into the rest of the setting and considering the uninspired writing and how these paths should interplay with subpar companions, the whole concept starts to fall apart. It is clear we are in total disagreement on this point, so I really do not see any point in discussing this with you. You, Desiderius and Lann are pretty much the only three posters I see in this thread who repeatedly go well and beyond to defend this game to completely irrational levels. Even if I agree with you that the overall game is fun to play, I still view you three specifically this way.
nobody cares about what "u view" or ur "feelings", try tumblr we only care if game is shit or not.I still view you three specifically
Or a woman fag,or a woman futa sucker,or a demon.Pathfinder: Everyone is Gay EditionSad,they made the storyteller in to a fag too...also his story is pretty shit,now he is just shitty useless "relic" spawner.
This is what kickstarters do to people, imo. They take normal fanboys and turn them into cultists by getting them in invest themselves in a product from day one and then making them spend years waiting while they justify their purchase to themselves over and over. Normal fanboys already do this sort of thing, but the fact they've spent real money on it makes it worse.This is the problem with you retards. Because you act like a group with your fanatical attitude towards the game defending every aspect of it regardless of how shitty it is you think everyone else who DARES to criticize the game also acts like some consorted group when we are all just random individuals with our own unique experience.

But fine, if you're a storyfag: this gaem is not MoTB. It's somewhere around ToB. It's %of frontloaded dragonshit jank, %of russian fangirl fanfiction, %of genuily good characters, %of cool choices game aknowledges, %of epic adventuring, % of... etc.
It is not well edited/designed in terms of writing, it's just a lot of shit thrown on a wall, and your experience will vary depending if you are happy to find shit and step on it on purpose like inquisitor, or focus on better shit, and of course, Luck.
Why? She is an edgy Aristocrat, who wants everyone to know who she is and her opinion, and how you must treat her (which means, pamper her).Like for example immediately at the prologue how it makes absolutely no sense for Camellia to provide some long-winded explanation of who she is

There's not nearly enough tension given that it's a life or death situation, and might as well be the end of the world.Why?
