[Urthor]

I haven't read anyone saying a single-classed character is better than a multi one. Generally, the top level abilities/spells aren't useful and aren't worth trading the versatility and bonuses another class brings.

This is extremely inaccurate

 

[FreeKaner]

Swords are mostly sidearms and weapons of self-defence, they are more prominent in civilian life. Polearms and missile weapons were what dominated battlefields, obviously.

 

[FreeKaner]

This Minoletta is good at spellcraft huh?

 

[Lacrymas]

This is extremely inaccurate

Except being an Evoker and casting overpowered Meteor Showers and Missile Salvos, which class has good enough lvl8 and 9 abilities to be worth the trade-off?

 

[Safav Hamon]

Monks and Druids are better single classed.

It's not just having extra abilities. Power level scales every ability in effectiveness and increases your source pool.

 

[FreeKaner]

You also get the abilities earlier.

Although a planned out multiclass just has much more potential for synergy.

 

[Riddler]

is anyone doing a potd playthrough then? i need to see what people are doing

I just did. What do you want to know?

Spark the Souls of the Righteous and Hand of Weal and Woe (both Priest Level 8) are extremely powerful spells.

Which fights of SSS did you do without any reloads or consumables - all of them, on a blind first try?

I'm gonna do the DLC now and see if I can manage it.

Going by this thread https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/107274-forgotten-sanctum-is-pretty-darn-good-heavy-spoilers/ whatever nonsense Safav was going on about earlier was either made up or exaggerated.

 

[Lacrymas]

Safav exaggerating? No, this can not be!

 

[Safav Hamon]

I'm pretty sure it was changed in development.

What they originally planned (or I thought they had planned) would have been very cool.

 

[Safav Hamon]

The final god challenge isn't a god either. It's something called 'The Ultimate.'

Go ahead and tell us then, since they're not doing it.

 

[Safav Hamon]

They were planning to do a Sheogorath/Jygallag type situation, where Wael was created to conceal the existence of another god that existed before the Engwithans.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

did anything ever come from when you looked into the telescope and wael(?) tells you not to or something?( its been a while since I did it)

Most of them are worth it for two reasons.

#1 you reach the power level 5/6/7 "break point" that has the CORE class abilities earlier and at the game's biggest difficulty spike, which is levels 9-13, and that helps you get power much earlier

#2 most of the classes have lvl 9 abilities that are absolutely superb. Monk and Barbarian and Fighter and Rogue and Priest off the top of my head are great. Ranger is the only one off the top of my head that has shit lvl 9s

All the dual classes range from extremely balanced because Sawyer to completely garbage

 

[Background Character]

Doesn't that contradict the reasons the Engwithans made the gods? They made them because there weren't any, they didn't found them or they left

 

[Safav Hamon]

There was originally a god, but for whatever reasons the Engwithans didn't like him much. So they created their own gods, and Wael specifically with the purpose of concealing his identity.

If I had to guess, the original god is probably the same as the Yezuha god.

So, ESh was correct.

Pillars of Eternity Plot Twist: The Gods were fake all along!

Pillars of Eternity II Plot Twist: The Gods were real all along!

This makes it even better, lol. What a colossal clusterfuck their writing has become.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Only one god is real. The Engwithans rejected him and created their own gods.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

for all intents and purposes, they're gods.

Makes you think...
