    Eternity Josh Sawyer reflects on his failures with Pillars of Eternity

    The magic of the codex, where supposed RPG-fans will hate-wank so hard over Sawyer that they'll endorse sales numbers as proof of quality.

    Eternity Josh Sawyer reflects on his failures with Pillars of Eternity

    I really liked POE2 (Turn-based) and I am sad that nobody bought it. Would never play POE1 again, but am playing through POE2 again right now. The turn-based mode just made me realise at last how terrible RTWP is as a system. It's a fun game and deserved better treatment.

    Game News Pillars of Eternity II Fig Update #61: Patch 5.0

    You also don't need to. If you're playing on harder settings, surely the fun is in the winning, not cheese; and if you're playing on easy, you don't need cheese to win.

    I would have thought my DA was high enough to avoid most crits, but there you go. Would explain why sometimes I fight him and it's fine. It's weird how little damage he takes, should only have 58% aether res but seems to take take way lower damage than that, especially after resist lowering...

    True, but quitting and then switching is a pain in the arse.

    Re: the boredom of going through veteran/elite... The merits you can buy in FG mean you can treat these difficulties as a training run/devotion point harvesting run. The main thing is not unlocking ultimate, it's unlocking ALL portals on lower difficulties plus all the bonus points and bag...

    I'll be honest, I find your inventory massively triggering... why store all those components in there and not in the shared stash? I've moved on to a Sentinel for the moment, which I like a lot more so far, and is doing about 12k at level 38 with pretty good survivability (but not enough...

    KickStarter Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition - new Fallen London game from Sunless Sea devs

    I do think there are limitations with the essential design that might benefit from a serious do-over, top to bottom, so that A: there is more choice in gameplay styles and B: there is more connection between core loop and story progression. The game seems to have done pretty well though, for an...

    Better than the joke items in the original and the first expansion (the soiled trousers and the fart helmet). I think this was just included so people can dual-wield shields (kinda).

    KickStarter Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition - new Fallen London game from Sunless Sea devs

    Yeah I'm mostly thinking of storylets... can't remember most of them OTTOMH, but you can bury your predicted death to exchange it for a different perk, you can use the past betrayal in the rite of wrongs, your link to your mentor affects your eventual meeting, and there are a bunch of times...

    KickStarter Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition - new Fallen London game from Sunless Sea devs

    They can though? There are a bunch of points where your choices at level up affect your choices in story events, just as your actions in the game affect your possible choices on level-up. Not usually in huge ways, but reasonably often in my experience. It could certainly be greater, where level...

    More generally: has anyone found an oathkeeper build that is fun to level/fun to play/survivable? The Warlord I tried to put together was insanely weak after playing an AAR arcanist build and a shaman/inquisitor two-hander ranged build as my most recent characters. The S/I jumped up to elite and...

    I agree that Port Valbury is not that much fun. I like the Ancient Grove, though... It sounds like your resistances aren't that good (which is pretty common for a first character, especially if you haven't farmed bounties to get augments and are below level 70 when the armour augments become...
