Have you replayed the whole game or just used an old save? Because I'm not sure if the build with Polish translation doesn't mess things up.

Huh, yeah it works on new game. Guess it's the old save that's b0rked.

EDIT: restarting the game also unb0rked the old save. Wooo.

I guess it's just some minor tweaks like the new savage blow passive effect. Now, instead of inflicting 25% more damages, "victims" loose 1 strength point and things like that.
Not really sure though, as I was already playing with this new effect

Your mom
Tried this for and got a bit bored with it after a couple of hours.

Combat in AoD is fun because it's set in the context of a full fledged game; it's interspersed with exploration and dialogue, and it advances your character's development in meaningful ways.

But the AoD combat system by itself is actually rather bare bones and unexciting, and it doesn't feel like it's enough to carry a game on it's own. I'll make an earnest attempt at finishing Dungeon Rats later on anyways, though.

Give us tl;dr version - what happened to her at the end of video? Was she infuriated? )))

She did pretty well, actually. Playing on "murderous psychopath" she reached the queen, but the twitch ended there.

I made a high charisma, high intelligence build with crossbow and block. There is no handcrossbow anywhere at the bottom to use with a shield. WTF?

You can get right after the elevator, or before you get to Roxanne at least.

Also, don't be a pussy, remove those points from block and put them into CS.

Too late! :D

My point is that this choice of build should be supported on the bottom.

Some suggestions to improve the quality of life in gameplay:

- Allow the player to use healing salves in the ration-healing screen.

- The numbers of the stats in the inventory screen are too small. If you want to heal, you need to look at the numbers closely. Your HP numbers should change their colors when they are altered by a healing salve, e.g., they could become bolded for a moment.

- The hand you are using should be the hand of the weapon you just reloaded.
