Just wanted to say that this game is seriously incredible. I've played all the crpgs, thousands of hours probably. And I think PoE2 is right up there with BG2 for me. Just unbelievable. Well done Obsidian!3 points

I always hedge my bets with pick'em: if there's a matchup that I really want to go a certain way but the odds are against it, I always pick against the team I want to win so that if they win, I'll be happy that I was wrong, while if they lose, I at least have the consolation prize of being right. So with that said, Patriots over Titans, .1 point

I've found that Origin runs better than Steam and Epic. But I probably only launch a few times a year, so take that for what it is worth. But still, pretty unobtrusive comparatively.1 point

Get two Stones of Power for a stackable +1 universal PL bonus via Power Surge in every encounter. Magran's Favor itself is only as good as the Chromoprismatic Staff, but you can dualwield it with Sun & Moon (= +4 PL).1 point

Sun and Moon gives +2 fire/cold PL... However I don't think it affects all the damage, despite the tooltip. Just like using the Ring of Focused Flame with Sun and Moon, only the fire part is affected, despite your displayed accuracy.1 point

Well, you try explaining things to an eastern european driver that doesn't speak Swedish or English. I'm tired of having to tell people what to do, see them do some absolutely stupid ****, curse at them and then do things properly. I do like to drive, but I've got to think about the bloodpressure man I mean last time I got so furious that I started coughing blood again, and blew out a bloodvessel in my nose. With bloodpressure medicines. Edit; He did look scared as hell though, so that was awesome1 point

I'm not an expert, but I've been playing with a Ranger PC (and with Sagani) with the Rangers in the back row and the Animal Companions in the front row, and I have to say that as I increase characters' Stealth skill, a) it's extremely obvious when a front row character has lower Stealth than the other characters around them, and b) both of my Rangers have great Stealth and the Animal Companions are never the weakest link in terms of alerting enemies. So I am like 98% positive that Rangers' Stealth also applies to the Animal Companion.1 point

Hmm. CNN did not break the story of Libyan slaving. It's been going on since 2012 so it took them 5 years to report on it. They did however try to run interference by blaming ISIS for it. Which as with most good propaganda is true, from a certain point of view, however... There's massive slaving still going on despite ISIS practically not existing any more in Libya. The primary slavers are, surprise surprise, western backed militias- and always have been. The collapse of Libya was 100% due to the west. Not the US in this case which largely got dragged along by its allies, but due to that noxious dwarf war criminal Nicolas Sarkozy wanting to cover up getting illegal donations from Gaddafi. Libyans were literally 100% better off under Gaddafi in every conceivable way and every conceivable measure, including the possiblity of arbitrarily being tortured or killed from which the threat now comes from a befuddling array of possibilities rather than just if you challenged Muammar. The popular revolution was so powerful that even with NATO illegally acting as its airforce the rebels still took 6 months to win.1 point

Iraqi TV and a Hezbollah TV channel (and secondary sources like Al Jazeera quoting them) are reporting that the US has droned Qassem Soleimani and PMU head al Muhandis. If so, it's difficult to see anything other than outright war following, but there are also sources (eg BBC Arabic) denying it and the whole situation is pretty murky- the initial reports were of an attack being made on US troops at Baghdad Airport. Given that 10 Iraqi soldiers proper are also reported dead or injured I'd suspect at very least the US is going to be 'invited' to leave Iraq in the next few days.1 point

Libya having huge migrant exploitation and literal slave markets has been known for absolute ages, but nearly no one in the press wants to actually report on it- mostly because it would involve strong tacit criticism of an intervention they were wildly supportive of and make other interventions they're wildly supportive of harder to sell. The really weird thing about Libya is the split in who supports which faction. Sworn enemies in Syria- Russia, Syria; UAE, KSA, France and Israel along with Egypt which was broadly neutral- all teaming up to take on the Turkish backed formal government in Tripoli, and Turkey is even flying in the jihadi mercenaries it used in its ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Syria as expendable cannon fodder.1 point

Replaying Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Damn, this game is still ton of fun to play. Going for Clear Sky and Shadow of Pripyat after that. Never played the sequels so I am pretty excited to play them once I am done replaying Stalker. Also, still playing God of War on the PS4. It's...ok. I am not sure what to make of the story. I mean so far it has been... Maybe it will pick up later on but honestly, I'd rather play Stalker instead at any given time.1 point

agree. we slight disagree with gd, but only slight. yeah, 20 year body o' work should complete negate any consideration o' relative value o' degree. however, for folks straight out o' uni, and particular for stuff such as engineering, where you get degree matters... a smidge. cal polys will be known to both hurl and gd and we mention 'cause they do a fantastic job o' not only teaching the maths to their engineering students, but is considerable practical lessons being taught at such schools. am honest not certain how some o' these online schools is providing stem degrees 'cause 'bout 1/3 our class time were lab stuff and we were physics for chrissakes. is our recollection the engineers school students spent even more time in labs. yeah, often the most recognizable schools do a terrible job preparing a student for anything other than grad school. however, particular for a few areas o' study in which practical skills is o' great significance, is gonna be a few universities which produce not necessarily better candidates, but at least better prepared candidates. engineering, architecture, etc. college/university providing degree does matter a bit in some limited instances, but for the most part, am agreeing with hurl 'bout long-term goals. also, 'cause it shouldn't need be stated, but the information learned at uni should, for many degrees, be the least important stuff learned during years o' study. where you learn the math is indeed relevant. is process which is most important. particular with advent o' stuff such as the internet, info is cheap and easy. takes nothing to find and repeat facts and parrot the opinions o' others. for example, can perfect learn rule o' law from every case ever and still fail every law school class. memorize rules is the easiest part. teach a student how to develop arguments and analyze questions happens too infrequent in high school. happens only a bit more often in university nowadays. am gonna grudgingly admit such process learning is more likely to happen in certain environments albeit rare related specific to school reputation. heck, the best teacher we ever had, at any level, were a community college history professor. nowhere school in a subject unrelated to our major and it were the class in which we learned most. am thinking we teach kids high school age kids complete wrong. yeah, math has a natural kinda progression, but teach literature and history as is typical (not always) done in US is just flawed. is too much concern with making sure students know more rather than making sure kids know how to learn and how to teach themselves. failure to teach kids important analytical skills in high school means they is unprepared for uni or do not proper take advantage o' the possibilities o' a uni education. HA! Good Fun! ps after having checked recent rankings, we change our mind. https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/10/24/usnewsglobalrankings2019/ http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2019.html university is all-important. those who graduate from top universities should be catered to and worshipped by the less fortunate masses. you may kiss our class ring, if we so deign it. HA! Good Fun!1 point

As I say tirelessly, education is much more about skill development than content. You've shown an employer you are capable of showing up and completing work when you show them a degree. You've learned to follow through on a long-term goal.1 point

well, in all fairness, bernie is proposing a 45% tax on estates valued 'tween $3.5 and $10 mil. am expecting if bernie is not in such a range, he is gonna be close... and getting closer every day as book royalties continue to build and investments increase. 'course all the wealth taxes from democrats is nutty from a practical standpoint, and highly inefficient. is good reasons why US has adopted a capital gains scheme for taxing the wealthy. we sound like a broken record on this issue, so will refrain from repeating. thats said, while am not a socialist by any stretch, we does advocate a significant increase in capital gains targeted at wealthy (exclude primary residence n' similar to avoid hurting middle-class) in spite o' fact such would affect us personal. as an aside, even after donating ~50% to charity, we are worth more than bernie. 'course am only 50 and retired so our money needs take us a bit further than does bernie's. even so, don't much feel like scrooge mcduck with piles o' treasure. keep the house at 62 F during winter to save on heat bill and still take navy showers. we don't clip coupons, but am frugal. extreme conservative and rough 4% rule has us living with income o' $120k per year, and a portion o' such going to charitable (but not necessarily tax exempt) causes. am seeing if we can pull off functional $80k per year. as such, we could not retire in hurl's neck o' the woods unless he allows us to pitch a tent in his yard. living in shady's neighborhood might also require comical degree o' belt tightening. 'bout half o' our wealth is in income generating real estate, but current is not so much generating income as it is building equity and is thus excluded from the 4% estimates. millions sounds like a whole bunch until you gotta actual consider realities o' retirement. am genuine feeling a bit o' sympathy for millenials. to get back to bernie, he mentioned in a recent debate that something along the lines that three Americans have more wealth than the economic bottom 50% o' people in this country. the thing is, Gromnir has more wealth than the bottom 50% combined, 'cause the bottom 50%, as a whole, has more debt than wealth. so yeah, bernie has a point regardless o' perceptions o' hypocrisy. income disparity is becoming untenable and arguable dangerous. there will be a breaking point... as is the case with US debt. HA! Good Fun!1 point

Insult to injury is that adding 21:9 support is simple. For the games that I have that don't have 21:9 support in cinematic sequences all that is required is changing two lines of code with a hex editor (Assassins Creed: Odyssey). It's not complicated, we are literally talking about 30 minutes of work tops. That they don't do it, that's a nice big fat "**** you" to anyone without a 16:9 panel. Them releasing a game that only works with a 16:9 panel is like a dev team making a game that only works with a 4:3 display in ~2005 when the Xbox 360 and PS3 were released and all games were then being made in 16:9 format up from 4:3 format. Everyone who can afford to do so is moving from 16:9 to 21:9, it's the next logical format evolution. Games look amazing and can now be pushed at 1440p 21:9 with current GPU hardware, ultrawide format movies fill up the entire display with no black bars, I could go on. This is where everyone is going who can afford to do so. That Obsidian release a near AAA game in 2019-2020 only in 16:9, seriously, clueless and I will never buy this game until it has proper ultrawide aspect ratio support. I don't support lazy devs and I never will. This game isnt worth $10 during a deep sale if the cut-scenes are 16:9 with black bars, stretched 16:9 and / or the gameplay is simply zoomed in 16:9 with the top and bottom missing, i.e. Overwatch, another game I don't own and apparently never will. Here's what I've been enjoying all recent titles from 2017 onward on, Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 4, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, The Witcher 3, Resident Evil 2 remake, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry 5, and now the Division 2 just to name a few. Everything looks absolutely stunning in curved 21:9 and I'm never going back, not for The Outer Worlds or any other game. If it doesn't have 21:9 support I simply wont play it. I have too many amazing games still on the back-burner that I've yet to get to. The Division 2 16:9 vs 21:91 point

This thread had over 12,000 views and multiple pages of concerns. Not one useful response from the team that made the game. Definitely never going to buy anything from these devs, pure laziness in this day and age not to add 21:9 support. Hell, even indie companies do it.1 point

Ultra-wide option should be available during conversations. The story is good (so far) and ultra-wide would allow better immersion and better experience. I hope you guys can implement this soon.1 point

Hey everyone, Thank you for reporting these widescreen issues to us. I put a report together with the information you've provided so far for the Programming team to look into. If you discover anything else about the widescreen issues, please let me know in this thread so I can add that information to the report. Thank you, and sorry for the widescreen issues you are having.1 point

Agreed +100!! If the game does not have an FOV slider and 21:9 support, please release to the community the settings to make these adjustments manually ourselves.1 point
