You don't get and/or suck at the game

You don't get and/or suck at the game

It's great if you play on the highest difficulty with all stats on min, don't "abuse" per encounter abilities, don't "abuse" resting and don't "abuse" guns. Then you'd see it's properly balanced and offers an infinite variety of playstyles because everything is the same anyway.

careful now, people are going to tell you that you don't get and/or suck at the game because you say it's too easy

Um, even people who like Pillars of Eternity think the game gets stupidly easy late game. It's like the most common complain in the game. Your hatred for the game is clouding your judgement. =\

How can he suck at the game and think its too easy, at the same time?

Your desperation to rage in this thread has grown to the point, where you're not even worried if you're making any sense.

I doubt you've tried playing it on PotD with all stats at 3.

Obsidian always did like associating with persons of dubious reputation.

Don't worry, despite the shilling for her friend here, Lesi's RPGOTY is still Witcher 3.

 

[Infinitron]

You'd think Lesi would feel a degree of hostility towards a white woman who "stole" an Asian man. Then again maybe she doesn't give a damn about Indians.

Can't tell if sarcasm...Witcher 3, "that game Made-Of-Rape", HER goty?!

Lesi fucking loves the Witcher, that hasn't changed.

Now, Witcher 3, whatever, but Dreamfall? Ragnar can create a world alright (or even two, technically speaking), but his actual writing/dialogue is stiff, cliched, and about as subtle as "the chosen one must choose". I haven't read Rowling but there's no way she's worse than that.

 

[Merlkir]

O_o The world is full of wonders, every day.

I don't know. TLJ had decent-ish dialogue. The difference is, TLJ had comedy elements. Wiith Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters they changed direction, and went full on board with this super serious mystical shit. Which always comes of as pretentious if there's too much of it.

It became darker, true, but both Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters have decent comedy moments.

Well, I think I finally ran across an annoying bug. I was just about to finish the last bounty mission (Spiderman/Virthrak), when I noticed the last level spells on each character were grayed out, even though I had unused spells. I decided just to take a break, as I did not want to attempt that fight without charm protection. Also, the armor on one of my characters disappeared.

Also, as discussed on the last page, the difficulty just disappears, especially when you can stack priest buffs.

Steam has downloaded a small PoE update. Don't know what it is yet, but I see new stuff in my game directory. A directory called px2_08_yenwood.

Let us know if this resolves itself or you find a fix. I ran in to the same problem right before I stopped playing my second TWM playthrough, when I start it up again I'd like to know if I'll have to play with a handicap.

At this point, I posted a bug report on the Obsidian forums. I tried a verify and repair via GoG galaxy, which still did not work.

I just need the charm protection god damn it.

I got Resolution and Oidhreacht on our party's rogue, and only as a back-up weapon set. With the bow Persistence, he's a sniping bastard and pretty powerful.

Bittercup, I let the Ranger use as a fall back weapon if he gets trapped in melee.

I got a reply on my bug thread, and they do not have a fix just yet, but they will work on it. For now, they suggested that I load an old save, which should not put me back that far at all, maybe a couple of travel points. I just hope it does not happen a second time.
