[Torrasque01]

I think someone is fishing for a new tag.

 

[Wulfstand]

Anyone else get this while booting up the game? After patching it the first time this is all I get when I try to reopen the game.

 

[da_rays]

Anyone got themselve a few levels and wanna talk about how they are building their character/party members? I currently have 3 members party , Myself ( Ameythevian Unshaken )

Spoiler

Vilhem

and

Spoiler

Catalina

since i did'nt make any recruitable character and decided to go along with the followers that i will discover. Trying out some kind of fighter build with my main ; +1 dex , +2 str +1 Per , being lvl 2 , Rally lvl 2 , Crit slash lvl 2 , Reckless Off lvl 1 .

Spoiler

Catalina is my 2nd tank/fighter

+1 Per +3 Str , went with shield mastery +2 and War cry +1 and slayer +1. And Finally

Spoiler

Vilhem

is my main ''mage'' , +1 Dex , Per , Int +2 Occ , +1 Blood Cocoon +1 Feverish Haze . Now armed with new/better weapon and armor , tackling bigger beast/number of beast is a lot easier. Using my 2 crossbow before going toes-to-toes , spellcaster is always channeling blood coocon or Fev. haze. Radiant staves and fearful light are nice too . I find myself using them more and more.

Heh, you need to watch out where you save , just jumped back in to find myself surrounded by 5 wolves when i saved in a empty spot , loaded the savegame again and now its all fine ( no ennemies around ) .
Random respawn when reloading area? After loading the game 5 times ; 1 time with 5 wolves , 1 times with 3 crop goblins and 3 times nada. random alright

Really how close to darklands is it?

Because this isn't the first time a moron from the administration overhypes a game for us by comparing it to something it isn't.

It takes a lot of things from darklands, the aesthetic, some of the atmosphere a clear 90's rpg feeling . There's no classes and you can build your character the way you want. You travel the same way on the world map and triggers events . Its not monty haul, you don't get good loot often if any at all ,but when you find something good at least its very good.Way better system than the generic poe loot system.

You could do both. The game offers the option to dismiss any avatars you created at the start when you invite a companion in the party (and there's insufficient room).

Now give SitS its own sub-forum.

Any way to make select drag have to click+hold but default action be single click? Its triggering how all of my intended movement commands turn into drag select.

Someone was complaining a while ago that it was impossible to select party members with anything else than mouse click and drag.

In fact, you can shift+click (but only with left shift) portraits to select multiple, or you can click the select all button in the row of buttons that's above portraits. This button's shortcut is "V".

Doesn't really help. The main thing is how the most common action (move) needs double click, while the most uncommon (select multiple) needs click+move (not even click+hold+drag)

 

[Ninjerk]

Only takes one click to move for me. I feel like I must be misunderstanding the complaint.

Yep, move is just a left click for me too. How are you running the game, do you have any stuff like slowdowns, are you running in a window, what OS do you use, any anti-virus running?

 

[SCO]

Oh it's possibly my computer being pure shit. Or even wine acting up (though i doubt it). Will try the linux version next (i usually download window version even if i'm on linux because i don't trust libraries not to games them on upgrades as i do wine).

edit: and with good reason it seems, since the current patcher doesn't seem to work with linux.

Are the gems you pick up automatically converted to currency?

Yeah, that might not be the best feature.

 

[Alienman]

I have to say the combat is... a pain. I really want to enjoy it, since overall I like it. But the combat. It's confusing and the AI do whatever they want it seems like. Feels alot of extra busy work because of that. And for some reason my potion-throwing guy have stopped attacking, does not matter what weapon I equip him with. The game seems to run well enough, around 90 fps or something, but I'm getting weird stuttering in combat.

Saffires are the currency, other gems have to be sold I believe.

I know I've picked up emeralds that aren't showing in my inventory.

EDIT: It seems emeralds are currency at inns.

Yeah emeralds you pick up go directly to your ''money pouch'' , can't remember the exact value of each emeralds tho

Indeed I could , but i guess i'll have to start a new character or i can acces this after starting my main?

Clearly...potentially i could farm goblins/wolves/Fox till im confortable with my money/gear.

If you're doing everything anyone says, now make one with half a dozen dancing girls. :D

Philosophy offers potential exploit to "temporary" party member NPCs, though it requires a relatively rare consumable. And not sure how well/if the late game NPCs scale to your level.

Just noticed this myself.

Stats don't give huge befits in small numbers. The "exploit" depends on how much stats you get. And nothing prevents you from taking their stats, let them die in next encounter and take another companion.

All Aptitudes give big benefits in the game, I don't see this as much more beneficial than what others give.

EDIT: Also.. Fuck banalce!

Spoiler

You can get at least four NPCs in the 'big city', the only problem is that Thieving Imps cost 800... and selling your NPCs to slavery doesn't cover the cost

Anyways, has anyone found a peaceful way to get in the Shipping Guild?

 

[Agesilaus]

I'm getting used to the combat now, and it's becoming a really enjoyable game. I've found 3 companions, so it's a party of four now, and we are all level two with leather armour.

My main character has harbinger 2 which let's me summon two crop goblins every battle; that means four people in the front line, two people casting blood cocoon in the back. I smash wolves with ease.

Traps are good, too; use the nerd guy who throws the bottles to set bear traps and stuff when you know combat is coming. I also have 2 in philosophy so I am going to try to steal Catalina's intelligence by using the evil thing in the jar.

Game owns, just spend all your money on equipment any prepare well for combat until you reach a higher level/more companions.
