I have replayed Black Geyser. The critical path with claiming the stronghold was 7.5 hours. There are some continuity bugs, but overall it was fun. Not doing the time-travel quest turned out to be a mistake - it allows to skip a large dungeon and an otherwise-unavoidable boss. I have also managed to get the king killed prematurely, but the game softlocked due to it.

Hello, I am playing Avowed on medium/high settings on a Aero laptop with 3080 mobile nvidia GPU + i7-11800H. I encounter no major performance issue. However, the game often crashes, from different reasons. Yesterday, when I was in Paradis, my character going into water resulted in a black screen and my computer not responding. I needed to reboot, and I did that 3 times. There was no overheating in my view, the frame was not really hot, and nothing clear was associated with this. Then, restarting the game resulting in a Fatal Error, the same I've seen in multiple threads. I reinstalled Avowed. DDU my nvidia GPU drivers. Made sure I had no performance issues in other demanding games at high settings (Starfield,Cyberpunk). But I still get these major performance issues. So I'm a bit disappointed of course, being a big fan of PoE 1 & 2, and Obsidian works in general. I hope this gets solved. Really open to any suggestions !

Dragons are easy with this foolproof strategy:

I hit level 16 on my route back from Tikiwara to Neketaka. While I left the ship and entered the city two text scenes were triggered at once - first appearing of Fonferus and conversation with gods (the one after Hasongo) simultaneously. Screen turned black. I couldn't do anything besides mashing "1" in hope that it will end conversation with gods and load the city. But it didn't help. Screen reamined black. I couldn't save game because entire screen was black with only name of the game. I couldn't find buttons to save and quit. So my question is - has my run failed due to game breaking bug or can I continue just by loading existing save? @SChin I recall that @Raven Darkholme mentioned that Josh Sawyer watched one of his stream and said that "bugs are on us". I could repeat every step for another 5 hours until next week, but it's tedious. Any advice? Timestamp to last session with the bug:

At least the Edo period daimyo slashed their belly when they screwed up.

Due to less time for gaming I switched to the most popular priest of Skaen/bloodmage. I finished Motare o Kozi with nearly 15 level (14 lvl and 3/4 of exp bar is full). I already have Shroud of the Phantasm and I cleared entire Deck of Many Things. I still have 35 days buffor (17 Deep Spring) to kill Jadaferlas in Ashen Maw. I didn't have luck with ingredients for captain's banquet so now I'm testing different routes with another save. I can go to Tikiwara, do the qests with lagufaeths and koiki fruit, return to Neketaka and then go to Sayuka, Crookspur and back to Dunnage - it should give me enough exp for level 16. Also I can take different route and sail west from Motare o Kozi to Sayuka, Crookspur, Dunnage and later probably go north to Junvik village to save the kid and gain enough exp for 16 lvl. I think I know how to reproduce @Raven Darkholme trick with Shadow Form from switching Slippers of the Assassin with other boots. It seems that if you had prolonged enough Shadow Form and rest to change this effect to passive, then you can switch Slippers of the Assassin with any other boots by double clicking in inventory. Then you can fight etc. and after the combat you can just double click Slippers of the Assassin to put it on and activate Shadow Form without killing anything and once again prolong it with Cabalist's Gambeson/Strand of Favor. As long as you won't break invisibility while wearing Assassin's Sleepers, you should be able to get Shadow Form back. I tested it with Shroud of the Phantasm by casting Wall of Flame. While wearing Slippers I couldn't deal damage to myself, so I switched to diffferent boots, activates Brilliant and switched back and get Shadow Form again. I'm uploading my vids if someone is interested:

I honestly didn't liked that progression is too gear focused. I could solo Deadfire in PotD difficulty naked with no items(except to rest and maintain my crew)

I would want a Cipher DLC. It is by far the most popular and unique in Eora class. Also would want new weapons, blunderbuss and Pale Elf as playable character

Yes, they added these features with the expansion patch to the base game.

South park has been overtaken by reality. You can't compete with the constant flexing and hyperbole of MAGA anymore. We are already at max, reality is the parody and South park seems, out of breath, unable to keep up.

Happens constantly to me to on PS5.

I am so sorry - defs wrong thread

I doubt its got anything to do with that conspiracy theory I would assume its mental illness created by PTSD and it slowly got worse in the USA for various reasons and these National Guard were the target and he did it in DC because its symbolic

now I've found more achievements that are bugged! (I'm on Xbox btw). I'm unable to get progress on collecting the human hearts.

Hi everyone! I found these two awesome portraits for PoE1 and am looking to see if anybody could give me a hand on doing the watercolor parchment style for PoE2? I tried following tutorials and man, I just cannot get it to work :(. Thank you! hope somebody can help !

I would recommend reporting issues here and through the Support section of the website. In my experience the devs don't have time to respond to each individual thread, even if it's an important bug needing addressed. Making sure the issue is in the issue tracker so that it's on the devs radar is the most important thing. Ymmv.

am sudden realizing am having been imagining rl shady all wrong HA! Good Fun!

I watched two musicals, KPop Demon Hunters and Wicked. I vastly preferred the former.

Well bit of both, Hegseth has some burning desire to show machismo at every opportunity, which given his less than stunning military service record makes me maliciously assume he's just insecure about being a mere Civil Affairs soldier and that Bronze Star has no Valor device. But, yeah, no one cares/ No one cared about drones. At least South Park took the piss out of him

This is THE MOST IMPORTANT Quest choice in the Entire game and you HAVENT EVEN REPLIED TO USERS YET?! What is wrong with you????

I think I know what happened; I did things in a sequence the game didn't expect, I guess. I took the archive by myself before talking to Ruth. I killed everyone at the entrance, pickpocketed the calcaduceus from the guy in the bathroom, and spoke with the archive. He triggered the quest to fix the things in the underlands, and only then I spoke with Ruth, took over Spiretown, and fixed the archive fully. Now the objective to deliver the calcaduceus to the order is active, but there are no order members at the archive to talk to and give the damn thing to. Somewhere along all that, the game forgot to spawn the order members at the archive. This all started because I wanted to see if Ruth had an interaction for me, for already having the calcaduceus when I talked to her. She doesn't ;_;

Ever feel like you're going nowhere in life?

On the Greater Tranquilty Station, the card for Siri Xie is missing. ITs supposed to be in a box on a cart. Instead of standing upright, the cart is knocked over and the card isn't there. Theres a dead body next to the window which isn't in any video showing the location for Xie's card.
