I just got my first vivarium and tamed some beasts. Need to meet Sebastian at the village to visit Anne. The first movie was really good. It did a great job at introducing a magical place and have it feel magical. You miss nothing by not reading the books. What stands out to me with Hogwarts Legacy is that unlike so many AAA titles aimed at an older audience, Hogwarts Legacy managed to have different body types. You have some people lean, some people with a bit more weight. You have old adults, you have young adults, you have children in their early teens you have children in their mid teens. Yes, predominantly they use one bodytype, especially as there is basically one human for all the poachers/ashwinders, but that is only because they created one enemy model, not because they generate every npc from one model as other games do.

I can agree on that Problem. From time to time there are some on the floor, but they are not regrowing on the plants. It looks like the same bug we hat with acorns in Grounded 1.

Apparently some Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten was butthurt over this. You can’t ask for better advertising when you’re Honest Government Ads Its pay walled and in Norwegian. Will check for an English transcript somewhere

Yes, this type of greed is not a good start to this game At the very least include all the clans in the vanilla game Charge for DLC once the game is out and confirmed to be worthwhile considering its tumultuous development history

I enjoyed Hogwarts, I dont remember any of that political ideology\commentary being significant in the overall narrative I never read the books but I watched all the movies and I thought they did an excellent job at creating the Hogwarts world with its lore It had lots of fun side activities like exploring Hogwarts, Merlin Trials, breeding animals and broom races and it provides a massive open-world to explore Spells make combat interesting and varied and I like the crafting where you do end up looking for ingredients And the Companion side quests are nuanced and interesting, like Sebastian's sister quest The enemies became monotonous, you can only kill so many poachers and Ashwinders but that wasnt enough to detract from the fun factor of the game

Ten years later, Pillars of Eternity is getting a turn-based combat mode "Testing starts later this year." So... maybe by Winter?

As the question above says, I am hoping somebody knowledgeable can explain how the game rolls the Random Scripted Encounters it throws at you. Specifically, what are gamedata files involved, and what mechanism/variable inside the files determines the encounter. For example, if I wanted to add a scripted encounter while roaming Neketaka or Dunnage or when sailing, or if I wanted to adjust the weight/frequency of event occurrence, what files should I modify? Thank you in advance.

I’ve been having a great time in Grounded 2 so far, huge thanks to the dev team for all the work you’re putting into Early Access. I’ve been streaming it regularly on Twitch (@LOTS_OF_PYRO) and it’s been an awesome experience sharing the game with my community. One of the best features right now is the Buggie system. Hatching an Ant from the Hatchery Anthill, mounting it, and riding around to farm Grass and Weed Stems is such a fun mechanic. For players who love to build (like me), it feels rewarding and makes the grind more enjoyable. But there’s a point where the flow breaks: Once you upgrade your Axe to Level II and want to cut down Husk Weeds, you’re forced to dismount your Ant to harvest those resources. This feels like a missed opportunity. The Ant mount should feel like an extension of the player, not just a Level I farming assistant. Suggestion: If the player has upgraded tools (e.g., Level II Axe), those upgrades should apply while mounted on an Ant. Being able to farm Level II (and higher) materials without dismounting would keep farming smooth, immersive, and rewarding. It would also better align with the progression system, making mounts feel more useful long-term rather than capped at early-game tasks. I know Grounded 2 is still in Early Access, and I’m excited to see how it evolves. This is exactly the kind of quality-of-life improvement that could elevate the building and farming loop even further. Keep up the great work, I’m really enjoying the direction of the game so far! — Pyro TL;DR for Devs: If players have a higher-level Axe (e.g., Level II) and are riding an Ant, tool upgrades should carry over so we can harvest Level II+ materials without dismounting.

the other way i can picture this arena is if it is exactly a glass jar, the lid has a computer terminal on it that you input the material to choose the boss and then the lid opens, you drop in(fall damage removed for entry) and then the boss drops in and lid is shut, kinda like when kids would catch 2 bugs and put them in a container to make them fight. if you lose you bag appears at a predetermined spot outside the jar.

to start off this idea came about because ive always hated the idea of cheesing bosses. wether it be by building up out of their reach, hiding behind wasp paper and shooting through it, or climbing the rose plant. doesnt matter if its your first playthrough or NG+10, bosses are supposed to be a challenge. especially since they arent story locked. in original grounded there was the emitter that allowed us to call waves of any bug we wanted except bosses, and if we wanted bosses we had to trek to their spawn. the problem is their spawns were designed to look like where they live and because of this each arena has several ways to cheese the boss. my idea is quite simple. a location/lab that you enter and has a "glass jar" looking room to fight the boss in. in the middle is a pedestal to put boss items in. either a cooked recipe or it could be a crafting bench style to select the boss there. when the fight starts the pedestal lowers and the door locks. the room is completely smooth and has no build rights. the door would have a bridge that connects it to the lab that retracts when the boss fight starts and you fall into the abyss if on it so you cant cheese shoot through the door, as well as the boss despawns if no person detected within the room. the boss would be spawned in by command or beamed in. nothing else is in the room so there is no hiding. just you and the boss toe to claw. this lab would be connected via pneumatic tube system to other labs for ease of access after unlocking it. could even be a mutation for beating the bosses in this arena specifically.

all valid points. they have pointed out on the roadmap that there will be buggy upgrades, so im hoping that those will alleviate the lvl 2 stem problem cause this frustrates me as well. ive also noticed that telling them to stay acts as a pseudo-passive mode as my buggies dont tend to attack anything unless it gets right up on them when i tell them to stay.

i wont hate on your attempt to give feedback, but knowing that this game is in early access what aspects that cant be tweaked are worse? sure the omni tool can be a bit frustrating to get used to, but thats now 4 items not in your inventory, 3 if you only ever pulled wrench out when stuff broke. buggys are truly awesome, even if they are a little, well, buggy. but again its early access. sure the catepillars have spikes but dont deal thorns damage, i can logic arround that depending on the weapon. is the resource analyzer a little buggy too? sure but now i can change it without having to go to a lab/tent and it shows spawns of resources. the main thing i can think of thats worse is the overall stats. some things hit harder than expected, but ive been playing with 9* armor sets for the last while and there are still plenty of kinks to work out in the damage vs armor vs buff area of the game. i guess what im saying is i truly dont see "Many" things that are worse than grounded 1 keeping in mind that this is early access/development. you make it sound like we are in arachnophobia mode with all models and its a finished project comparatively.

I've also got this exact same issue, even down to the game running fine for a minute or two, then freezing for several seconds, then frame time spikes and stuttering like crazy afterwards. I'm on Windows 11, with a 7800x3d and a 5080.

The DOT issues with the talents "Scion of Flame, Heart of the Storm, Spirit of Decay and Secrets of Rime" have not yet been fixed. You can find information about this here, regarding a patch made some time ago, but this patch currently cannot be used with the current version: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/93221-community-bug-fixes/ I’m not sure, but I think the problem with these talents also applies to some class spell or item. You also have these mods that fix some bugs that haven’t been corrected yet either: https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/385 https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/384 https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/377 https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/371 -> I think this one fixes the DOT issue with the talents mentioned above. Maybe not all of these mods are actually bugs for you, I’m sharing them so you can take a look and consider whether it’s worth fixing or changing the behavior of the spells they adjust, for example. I think the DOT bug with the talents (and as I said, I believe it affects more than just those 4 talents) is quite important, because one chooses these talents to increase the DOT damage of spells/abilities of those elements. So, if you use a particular spell as your main damage spell and want to get this talent to boost its DOT damage, it’s useless because it doesn’t work. I think it’s crucial to fix this already.

The Buggy Is The Biggest And Only Source Frustration In The Game.(Ive Played Start To Finish 2 Times And Another From Mid To Finish Twice. Attempting To 100% Current Content) Firstly The Buggy Desperately Needs A Passive Mode, Having It Instigate Fights And Or Take The Last Shot Preventing You From Getting Credit For The Kill To Add To The Stats Of Your Mutations That You Are Currently Working On is Ridiculous. Secondly Getting Off The Buggy To Harvest Lvl 2 Resources Not Only Doesn't Make Sense (Why Can I Cut Lvl 2 But Not My Buggy) But The Buggy Is Consistently Getting In The Way!! I Would Have Figured This Would Get Addressed With How Many Hot Fixes There Has Been But No. Unless I Tell The Buggy To Stay It Tries To Walk Between Me And WHATEVER It Is That I Am Attempting To Harvest. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING AWESOME ABOUT THIS GAME FIX THIS!!

Ok, went back into Silksong after coming down. Finally was able to beat the stupid mothwig ****ing piece of ****. It was pure random chance in the end, which is exactly what I hate in a boss fight. I'm close to the end of act1 as far as I am aware. Got 6hp now, upgraded the needle, got some tool damage and amount upgrades, and wrapped up most of the side quests that were available. The stick mother fight was pretty nice, I also liked the widow - though the widow phase 2 took me a couple hours again, because it was so damn fast, I could barely see it. Phase 1 was no big deal, made it through without getting hit, but then it became a bit much... Anyways. Same as HK, the game is great when it doesn't feel incredibly unfair and random. IMO they could have made the beginning a bit less harsh for sure, and people would have accepted it more. /Edit: I've also unlocked the reaper and the wanderer crests, but decided to stick with the default moveset. Feels more fitting for Hornet, and also I don't really have any issues with it.

Got all excited about the Beast Crest in Silksong and used a Memory Stone on it (i.e. expand it's capacity to carry Silksong's variation of Charms) only to find out that the heal-on-attack mode doesn't activate instantly. I mean sure, it is faster than binding your wounds normally, but not enough so considering that you need to attack something to heal up afterwards. Great idea, disappointing implementation. Devs probably wanted to make sure it won't lead to players being able to facetank bosses, but as it stands I don't see the value. Yet, perhaps. I don't know how many hit points one can get by the end of the game and how much you could heal with the Beast Crest in a protracted fight. It might just edge out the regular healing. With the beginning five masks? Yeah no.

Arrow Quiver – to avoid wasting multiple inventory slots when carrying different arrow types. Gear Loadouts – to quickly switch between classes (e.g., Ranger → Rogue), (armor, accessories, weapons, mutations). While also minimizing inventory slot usage for gear sets.

I've made an account to also voice my support for a Switch 2 update... it would make a potentially huge benefit to playability!

I have an idea for a light source So my idea is to make a wall related light source maybe made from firefly parts(if they coming back) or from the unstable goo Like on the picture:

There's a better chance of them adding in a transmog machine to let you just make one set of armor look like anything else. With the 'founders packs' that override a cosmetics look they can just implement a system where you put into a machine one set of armor that holds the image then wear whatever you want and your look wont change. That's how Abiotic Factor solved it so they could have Tiers of armor while still letting the players look however they wanted to. I also anticipate them selling other ones in the future too. It's easy money for companies to make now.

I made a few attempts to give feedback. Got 0 responses too. The game is heading in a direction I'm not excited for. Tons of changes were made, and many of them are downgrades, and it doesnt seem like they care. It's a bit depressing, made me lose my hype for the game. And I'm nearing 1000 hours in the first one now, the sequel was something I'd dreamed about for a while. But not like this, not like this.

currently nothing with a spoil timer stacks, but that is one way to do it sure. but i was say some games if you have for instance a stack of 9 that has 30 seconds left, then make a new item with max time, then move the old stack onto the new item they all gain the timer of the new one. some games when the timer is done only 1 spoils, others the whole stack expires. they probably havent decided on a version that feels right.

I also have been getting plants growing through my base, but that’s been happening since the beginning for me.
