[Irenaeus]

Awesome, can't wait for the official release to start a new campaign! This game just get better and better!!

I knew they weren't going to leave Sanguine Plate alone

EDIT: I'm curious: since it grants Spell Holding for a Barbarian ability, does the ability do nothing for others like Fighters?

Yep, waiting for that as well. Too bad it's gonna overlap with the impending Wasteland 2 official release.

It's funny how many people were pointing out how fan of flames was so much more powerful than other level 1 spells and the response was "the extra positioning needed balances it".

• Fan of Flames damage is reduced by 25%.

I don't even used it in my playthrough.

Much like how the devs said that companion stats were carefully devised to facilitate rich characterization, citing the highly perceptive Grieving Mother as a specific example.

And now

• Grieving Mother's Perception and Intellect scores have been switched.

Yeah, and then retards all around this site started complaining how the companions weren't minmaxed OP characters.

so, Iren, did you become a fanboy because of the tag, or did they give you the tag because they knew in advance you were a fanboy?

Maybe someone read my statement ridiculing that one.

I sacrificed Grieving Mother to the blood god.

Now she's right back where she started like nothing happened.

Cucked.

here's a new option to reset newly recruited companions to level 1 (without losing the experience). This will allow you to level up companions to your liking.

Is this some kind of bad joke ?

Its just negates the need to go and grab them all at level 2... what's wrong with that?

 

[naossano]

It is not a need. Nobody forces anyone to rush them at level 2.

 

[zero29]

It is not a need...

hence the word option, don't use it if you don't need it.

The dilemma of when hiring them becomes a moot point.
Same as the choice between custom silent adventurers and already defined talkative companions.
As the companions are as much customizable as adventurers, the latter lose most of their point.

 

[Dorateen]

custom silent adventurers and already defined talkative companions.

I will take "silent" custom adventurers over developer defined talkative companions every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Thank you very much.

You can't customize the stats, race, culture, background and class of companions.

Wizardry 8 had custom npc's that actually had character and a shitload of banter. Really was an impressive thing and gave your party some genuine personality. Amazing that no other blobber ever did something like that again.

I don't know if it was posted but https://twitter.com/Obsidian/status/596803396247531521 It seems that the documentary is on.
