The feminism nonsense is being forced in all media now. It's tedious.

8 out of 10 for potential? What about what it is now if they stop updating it?

Know exactly what you mean, 36 now with a kid. Basically only play games to entertain him these days.

Fair point. I forgot this game even came out!

Just in case the title isn't clear enough my saves are not accessible for my Xbox profile for some reason. I am really curious how can a company fall so far that even a save games system is out of their reach. Why don't you just use something that works? Like Steam Cloud. I am trying, really hard, to play this game and I can not because my saves keep disappearing. Now, I know you are now owned by Microsoft, and therefore do not care about poor us people that buy your games but you do realize this is the last Obsidian I will ever buy not matter what, right? Even if my saves are fixed this very second. I will never forgive you for this, at my age (I ain't telling) gaming time is precious and if I have to spend time trying to access my save, sorry, got better things to do than to play your game. Bye bye and thanks for all the fish.

I thought it was fixed with the last patch but have noticed although I can now carry food again, all my food will still disappear on using one food item to heal when I have tons in my inventory

The tariffs are a major gamble because it is all but impossible to determine what the long-term impacts will be. The economy is too complex to predict that accurately. But it's clearly not a robust approach to improving the economy; that comes from factors like better education and sound investments, not from trying to wreck every other nation's economy. A better approach would have been to be selective in tariff application, only applying them for nascent industries that need time to mature. But now that they are in place, they are much more difficult to remove because other nations have applied counter-tariffs. I fear that, in the future, the tariffs will prove to be a major handicap for American competitiveness. Extracting illegal immigration from the economy is always going to be difficult, and is bound to have a negative impact on the economy. He would have been better served to focus on border security; letting current immigrants become assimilated and grow economically. Overall, his policies are inflationary and damaging to the economy. Any possible benefits of tariffs will take years to express themselves, and removing immigrants will continue to have a negative effect (except perhaps for government costs). In the meantime, the country is in for more pain over the next few years.

Just to throw my hat in the ring. Saw the same issue today. I pick up everything. Had tons of food. Fought the rapitidon matriarch, and noticed I wasnt full health. Had no in combat health things, and no food.

OK thanks for your answer it's appreciated.

You can go into the settings (at least on PC) and turn off the option to show when companions have something to talk about. The only issue with that is that you won't know when someone has some optional dialogue. I just talk to all my companions regularly to make sure I'm not missing any dialogue.

Min-maxing also isn't necessary on Path of the Damned. Often it's even detrimental to your overall performance. I personally - for a damage oriented Paladin who's also a good person and leader - would pick Kind Wayfarer and then: Abilities: - Lvl 1: Flames of Devotion - Lvl 3: Zealous Focus - Lvl 5: Sworn Enemy - Lvl 7: Inspiring Triumph - Lvl 9: Lay on Hands - Lvl 11: Healing Chain - Lvl 13: Sacred Immolation - Lvl 15: Behold the Martyr or Abjuration Talents: - Lvl 2: Weapon Focus Soldier (+6 accuracy with great swords) - Lvl 4: The Sword and the Shepherd - Lvl 6: Intense Flames - Lvl 8: Strange Mercy - Lvl 10: Scion of Flame - Lvl 12: Two Handed Style - Lvl 14: Savage Attack - Lvl 16: Apprentice's Sneak Attack or Runner's Wounding Shot That way you combine your offensive output and killing capabilities with defensive support and healing power "on the fly" (which is better than just pure offense, especitwheb it doesn't take any more action time). Also you can invest in your Might and profit twice: your damage output will go up - but also your healing power. You will need some healing for yourself anyway (like from Lay on Hands), at least from lvl. 13 on, because Sacred Immolation, while doing high AoE damage to foes, also damages you quite a lot. You want to counter that with healing from time to time. Then you'd have a likeable, benevolent main character who can dish out some serious damage and do some buffing and healing in the process, too. All while swinging a huge flaming great sword. Plate looks great. It will make you slow, but also improve your sturdyness a lot, especially on the early game. You could also use something lighter such as the "Sun-Touched Mail" - imo it's one of the best looking armors in the game. And it comes with 3 casts of Sunbeam per rest which your fire-themed Paladin could also use to nice effect (kills with it will proc Strange Mercy and Inspiring Triumph). You'd have to enchant the mail to better DR quality yourself though, it doesn't come with exceptional quality.

https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker Economist has just released its approval ratings for Trump and its not good, its because of the real and perceived failures around the economy and inflation. And as we all know these were the 2 main voting issues for most Americans who voted for Trump I have also personally noticed a general anti-Trump sentiment on places like Codex which use to be mostly supportive of him in the dedicated thread. This forum is one of the few places where people still generally respect Trump and will sometimes give him the benefit of doubt My view on him hasnt really changed, he has had hits and misses but his misses are clearly undermining any good he has done. Of course it also doesnt matter what I think because Americans will decide his future and legacy when they vote. But he really needs to reverse things like tariffs which have negatively impacted the economy and inflation and the strict migration laws are also impacting domestic productivity in several states " Once the honeymoon is over, presidents tend to lose popularity quickly. But no recent president has fallen so low so quickly as Donald Trump. At the start of his second term public opinion was nearly evenly divided between those who approved of the president and those who did not. Things have since changed—his net approval is now lower than at any point in his first term. Rather than rebounding after the end of America’s longest ever government shutdown, Mr Trump’s popularity has continued to sink. Americans are particularly dissatisfied with Mr Trump’s handling of inflation and the economy, two issues which were key to his re-election last November. Young and non-white voters, many of whom abandoned Democrats because of concerns about the cost of living, are now souring on Mr Trump faster than other groups. It was those voters who fuelled Democratic victories in governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey—an ominous sign for Republicans before next year’s midterm elections. "

I am also stuck with this quest. Here’s my experience:

just because something are stupid and unpopular doesn't mean usa wouldn't do it like the tariff cutting all kind of social welfare and atrocity at middle east

it might actually be to late to flex with move against Venezuela. for one thing there are Russian navy in the area, for another they have failed to really sell it. Public opinion is largely negative. It won't boost his numbers.

... and don't ally with Knights of the Crucible

Went down the elevator, opened the big door, and killed about 4 raptidons and 1 mantisaur. From watching different videos in YT of this quest, there should have been more enemies that spawn after you kill the initial wave. But in my instance, the quest marker in the area does not go away, and the objectives do not update. Notables: - After clearing the initial wave, there is a single red enemy awareness indicator in the area that is pointing in the general direction of the quest marker. - If I leave the room and re-enter, there is a exclamation indicating I've been spotted by something and my companions enter combat but disengages after a few seconds. - I initially brought Inez and Aza, but tried it solo, and with different companions to no avail. - I thought it might have been a raptidon in stealth, but I blasted every inch of that chamber with grenades and nothing got hit but my squad. - Tried to go back to the quest giver, but the dialogue did not update. I thought about trying to redo entering the Undisputed Claim for the first time to see if it'll reset everything, but I did Tristan's quest after landing in the Undisputed Claim, so I'd prefer if I don't lose the progress. Any help would be appreciated.

I have gone through this whole level and when I try and get Waylon out he heads to the freezer and explodes. I have no clue how to fix this

Cardosa gave me her card for her terminal and it even acknowledges it in the journal, but the computer terminal won't acknowledge the key card has been retrieved.

More bugs/issues I encountered: -Spreading plague spell works weird in tbmode, it continues to chain to targets outside of the caster or characters turn forcing you to pause the game in order to even try to avoid it. -I've started encountering lots of issues where I can't reach enemies with a melee attack and I'm forced to disengage to get in range, primarily when using Itumaak to attack Oozes and Lagufaeth though it occurs with other characters as well. -Dragon breath from the drake enemies seems to do nothing, an animation plays but that's it. The combat log shows no hits or misses. -A lot of enemies with chain attacks fail to play the attack sound effect when attacking the first time, primarily noticeable with trolls. Feedback: -Allow the fast and slow mode shortcut buttons to affect combat speed in turn based mode. -Chanter phrase buildup is just way to slow since the last patch, I have straight up been unable to even use the lowest level chanter abilities the entire time.

Thank you! So min-maxing isn't important on normal. But, could you also tell me which abilities I should pick at each level or pick first? That's my most difficult part in every game. And which companion is the best for my build?

I toyboxed her personal quest. I found those hidden counters based on your dialogue responses stupid.

I'm stuck here as well. Can move forward.

It seems to be some strange bug with the two main quests - if you talk to one governor but not the other, then go to the mines to check out the ruins, all quest related npcs in New Serene disappear (even meaningless npcs like the two guards outside the governor's mansion, who are just there for the dialogue when you first arrive).

Argenta did it all. Thanks to the Blessed Bolter Casing and the insane damage stacking she was even a better sniper than actual sniper characters. Anything in her line of sight just died, no matter how far away. My Argenta turned into a Sister Repentia, which made it all the more hilarious.
