I just got a hit-to-crit conversion on Thrice She Was Wronged; I checked my character, and the only item with hit-to-crit conversion is the crossbow I'm wielding (Bonus Crit Chance). Question is... is this something weird with Thrice She Was Wronged, or does it apply to everything? If it applies to everything, this could make crossbows an ideal weapon for TheLee's Disruptor Theurge and other crit-heavy builds. Thoughts? EDIT: This makes me wonder if Scourge of Bezzello's Whistling/Howling Bolts upgrade would also apply to spell crits, since it doesn't seem to specify that it must be weapon crits... EDIT2: Scourge of Bezzello's upgrade appears to be weapon-only.

...note: you can have too much salt, fat, sugar, pepper, etc, but imo, there is no such thing as too much garlic.

You know I can't update this thread without at least one critter story.... so here it is. From the Texas deep freeze a little while back: Texas Family Spends 12 Hours In Car So Dog Can Give Birth In The Warmth

^ It would take a veritable mountain of pepper to have too much pepper.

Single-class does get some interesting abilities, especially if you go with custom companions. Take, for instance, the Driving Echoes ability: you can give a teammate +8 penetration, allowing their attacks (spells especially) to easily pen (e.g. Rot Skulls' AoE, fire spells against sturdy monsters, etc) , maybe even over-penetrate. That being said, it depends how you want to play your cipher; you can play it as mainly team support (e.g. Pain Block giving Robust, Ancestor's Memory giving Brilliant, Driving Echoes giving penetration, etc.), as a Raw damage specialist, as a debuffer, etc.

I would say that the -1 PL is more than offset by the faster focus regeneration of Ascendants. So if necessary I would always cast that -1PL cipher spell on your way to ascension! I think it would be best to try out if the ascended subclass fits your playstyle on the tutorial island.. my first deadfire build was a melee witch (berserker) and I really disliked the "fiddling" with the berserker drawbacks and the downtime after ascension. Right now I'm playing a Soulblade / Assassin (and enjoying it alot). If you want to multiclass a Soulblade, then Rogue might probably be the best choice due to it's passives but also because of the defensive rogue toolkit (smoke veil / escape). However, for my next playthrough I'm gonna start a single class cipher because it is far more generous in the choice of cipher spells from PL1 to PL7 and for the access to the interesting high PL spells that I'm curious to see, especially time parasite and death from 1000 cuts.

I edited the wiki accordingly: https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Crossbows_(Deadfire) @theleeYou need to update your gamefaqs!

I wholeheartedly agree. I hate only two things: the racists and the swedes.

I wish, it's because I'm hungover and posting from my phone.

"damming" is that a water joke because it was an ami episode

CFL & XFL are merging The XFL is like a rubber fire. No matter how much water you pour on it it keeps flaring up again. As for the CFL, the last time they tried exporting the 55 yard line south of the border it was a disaster. Curious to see how this progresses.

I don't use those either. YouTube comments, Facebook comments, Twitter, all that stuff, I mostly don't even look at it (beyond what's being linked in this forum, and sometimes YT comments under Sailor Moon videos). Joining a Discord server is as far as I'm willing to go, but also really only because I already had a Discord user because we switched from Team Speak to Discord for raiding purposes. If I had to name my most favorite Sailor Moon episodes of all time then most - if not all of them - would probably come from S. Certainly none from SuperS (as funny as that dentist episode is). There are couple of things for Minako to do in Sailor Stars that you might like. She's the only one getting a focus episode worth a damn in the final season (Rei gets a couple of really nice things to do that show just how much she really cares, which is great). Plus this was one of the funniest sequences in all of Sailor Moon for me: That Ami episode is one of the manga chapters in Dreams, adapted to work within SuperS (in the manga Fish-Eye attacks her). These chapters are the first time ever beyond their introduction episodes that the girls get any sort of extended character development in the manga. If Crystal had been any smarter it could have adapted them and moved them to somewhere earlier. Even in the old anime I think it's the first time we get some more information on her family and about her father, beyond "I live with my mother and she's a doctor" - but that's probably because Naoko Takeuchi didn't come up with the idea earlier. Heh. In my "defense*" it was for an Ashford City (it was one of the forums we Interplay people migrated to after Interplay shut down, next to this one and Winterwind, but Winterwind and AC are gone by now) fan fiction contest that the other guys badgered me into writing a short story for, so I figured I might as well take it to the logical extreme and attempt to do the worst possible fan fiction possible. *I don't really think I need to defend myself here, anyway, hence the quotes. It was a fun thing to do, to be honest, particularily because I decided to pair off the forum admin with the most homophobic southern gentleman poster on the board at the time.

Episode 152: Episode 153, this is a legitimately great episode:

Aargh! The right thing to say only now it's too late to say it!

*chuckle* HA! Good Fun!

For some reason this came to mind I watched way too much Simpsons. Did you point out the irony of a flea market not wanting dogs ?

The flea market in Covington is open again. I took Sunny with and wen't to go look. Well, they stopped me in the parking lot. Apparently the new people running it are not allowing dogs. So, guess who is not going to the flea market anymore. If she's not welcome, I'm not welcome. Besides, I don't eat that trashy food they sell there, I don't want "confederate" flags and I don't even wear a belt so I don't need designer belt buckles. And I have plenty of broken tools already. After that ignominious ejection we wen't to Mid South BBQ where good company (even furry) is welcomed at the picnic tables outside. I had 1/4 BBQ chicken, baked beans, collard greens and pecan pie and unsweet iced tea. She got grilled chicken breast with no sauce. Cut into chunks of course. After that we took a ride out to visit our property out on east liberty ave then went home.

Ah, liberals using being gay as an insult. Cracks me up every time

Jesus was the ideal. Loves everyone unconditionally. Hell even dogs can’t pull that one off. He is the model we should all follow. As for me I decided to go in a different direction. Misanthropy. Hard to be called racist when you hate all the SOBs equally and avoid their company!

Broccoli, spinach and hot sausage All I use is a microwave, I just cook the sausages for three minutes, drain the grease and chop them up, throw some garlic marinara sauce and some bit of spinach in it, microwave it again for a minute or so, then dump raw broccoli in and mix it up. Best diet ever! The only danger here is sodium count could be a bit high.

Murder on Eridanos | Outer Worlds v1.5.1.696 | Xbox Series X - Insider Beta ring As soon as I cross the bridge to Purpleberry Orchards, I can no longer save without the game crashing. Auto saves also crash the game after that point. There is a noticeable stutter while crossing the bridge, and from that very point on the game will just crash whenever a save attempt is made. All my previous saves work fine.

I have proof now! See the images below (the crit was negated by Veil-Touched, though). Edit: You beat me to it XD!

Dang! I just used a crossbow on my lvl-4-Skald and Come Soft Winds of Death got converted from hit to crit by the Bonus Crit Chance of the crossbow! I also have no other source of conversion yet. Crossbow = new caster stat stick.

I was playing a Celebrant (Troubadour / Berath) human male and I was in the Engwithan Ruins on Port Maje. I checked my character, and the only source of hit-to-crit I could find was the crossbow I was wielding. This isn't that surprising given that I'm still on the starter island. Berath's Blessings include bonus skills, attributes, and 5,000 gold. Rings were Gaun's Pledge and that one Suppress Affliction ring you can find in town. No potions, drugs, consumables used. In short, I'm pretty darn sure it's the crossbow's hit to crit that made it happen. EDIT: I also remember checking the accuracy roll, and I did not get above 100; in fact, I think the target's defense was greater than my accuracy. EDIT2: Not surprising given that this was on PotD upscaled.

Dunno, his foreign policy strikes me as pretty close to what you'd expect if there was another/ 3rd term Obama/ Biden/ Kerry administration, with a few exceptions. There's lots of virtue signalling to show how different he is from Trump, not much actual action and mostly a rhetorical return to status quo ante, and we got some pretty obvious stupidities like the- somewhat- ludicrous statement that MbS would not be sanctioned for Khashoggi because "the US does not sanction foreign leaders". Which is news to a lot of foreign leaders, and precisely the sort of thing that Obama got himself into trouble with (eg his 'red line' in Syria, which turned out to be a kind of hazy squiggle). Stopping support for genocide in Yemen isn't exactly the bravest move in the world, and is far more of a return to Obama's policy rather than a punishment. The big difference is probably Iran, where Biden has actually maintained Trump's policy over Obama's, while saying he isn't. Despite the US abrogating the treaty completely unilaterally and having admitted Iran was following it Biden wants Iran to return to full compliance before the US does, and renegotiate it too. That's absolutely 100% what Trump's policy was, to all practical purposes- Iran must continue to keep following the treaty we broke, while we ignore it and add multiple new conditions as and when we want. Pretty stupid approach if he actually wants the deal reinstated in any form, as Iran has elections in a few months that the reformists will lose spectacularly having had their cornerstone achievement crapped all over by the US like a coeliac eating a wheat vindaloo. Good luck getting anything at all out of a conservative government, but then that may well be the idea, so hands can be thrown up and claims can be made that Iran rejected the deal the US reneged on. Should also be said, for all the treaties Trump reneged on only a very few- one?- have been reinstated by Biden like Paris. JCPOA, INR, Open Skies etc have all gone bye bye permanently, by all indications.

Debonaire/Beguiler is one of those combos that fit beautifully from a thematic perspective and also work really well. Charmed enemies will give you 100% hit to crit and that works right from lvl 1 on (if you pick Whisper of Treason) which is great. Ring Leader + Pernicious Cloud is pretty badass because it's friendly fire (so it will hit charmed enemies) and the crit solves the problem with the ability's low PEN. But beware: even the yellow circle will hit friends, so keep away from this dude when he's casting Pernicious Cloud. But also Disintegrate, Toxic Strike and su h is great with crits. Beguiler is my preferred cipher subclass anyway. While I like the Beguiler best in general I had tremendous fun with a Troubadour/Psion. Just because the resources will come to you without any effort and since you can alternate between phrases and focus there's always something to cast. Very versatile! Ciphers work very well with Monks. +10 INT is great for any CC/debuff effect, especially since it stacks with Cipher's Lingering Echoes, but also the bonus ACC from Dance of Death is cool. With a Monk you can even use a melee weapon and play at range (Instruments of Pain). And you'll have some useful summons, too (Dichotomous Soul). A Nalpasca/Psion with Dance of Death could almost play like a Troubadour/Psion I guess: wounds and focus come for free as long as you don't get hit. Wizard/Psion or Wizard/Beguiler can pull off a neat trick: With Arkemy's Brilliant Departure you can stay invisible while casting CC/debuffs without damge components! Wall spells are also fair game. That mean with Wall of Draining you can actually stay invisible for he whole encounter as long as you don't deal damage. As Psion your focus generation will never cease to work because you're invisible - as Beguiler you can cast Deception after Deception for gaining focus and doing CC/Debuff. And some Wizard spells are great in combination with Cipher spells, too. Take Miasma for example. You just want a cipher subclass that can generate focus without dealing damage. In general I find single classes good, there are just some classes where I'm more exited about the PL 8/9 stuff. Cipher is not one of them. Not that the PL8/0 stuff of Ciphers is particulary bad, no (Shared Nightmare for example is a pretty great passive, especially for an Ascendant) - but it's just not that exciting to me.

XBoxSx and I’m have the exact same issue except at the end of the game. Seriously. I’ve progressed through all of it without issue and then last night it hit a wall. Or more specifically, a brick. Every time it tries to auto save or I try to manually save it kicks me out completely. I am a devoted TOW fan and I’m super disappointed such a game breaking bug is happening with this last dlc.

But they removed a lot of filler combats with a patch. Although in WM there are again some unnecessary fights (looking at Russetwood and Longwatch Falls).

Also, in PoE1, they essentially removed XP gain from battles. Fair enough. But they didn't remove the battles; they're all over the place, all the time. You don't get XP, you hardly ever get loot worth mentioning: it's just a godawful waste of time. What a mistake that was. I totally agree with you when it comes to BG2 and BG1. BG2 is superb, and I also started with that by the way, whereas BG1 is just bad. I did finish it once, but it was not worth it. There's so much aimless walking around on mostly empty maps. Deadfire is up there with BG2, I'd say. In my view, BG2 beats PoE1, because of the battle thing above.

I’m getting the exact same thing but within the VIP section of the hotel before scanning for evidence about the wooly cow, can’t save like you said and can’t loot for more than 10 minutes before it crashes. I’m on Xbox series X btw

Are you Talking about the Prophet of Profitability, where you go back to confront her? If so, YES! At least that is where it happens for me. Xbox one. Almost exact same issues. Go to transition back in to her "Retreat Building" (or whatever it's called) and get hung up and eventually kicked all the way out of the game. If it is reproduceable by you and I, it is a BUG! and needs to be fixed.

My game crashes when I go into the Wilderness as well. I can't finish the DLC with this. I may have to wait for an update.

Constantly getting crashes now that i have reached the Wilderness in MoE to meet the Prophet. Cannot enter where i am meant to meet her as it crashes. Cant save game in area of the map surronding where she is and in doing a seperate mission to find the guest room keys i do get the final one but then 1 minute later it crashes. Anyone else having these same problems? I just want to finish the DLC

Now reading: &

What do you think about this: BDD purges itself when triggered or is one-use per cast effect. Then creates barier (like Her Courage - which is actually temporary HP) for x+y*PL points for z sec, to protect character from instant death by next dmg. One still needs to react (heal or reposition), before barier will break or expire. This way one can extend BDD effect, but it's still disposable. Shield effect could be extended too, but it doesn't give immortality due to finite barier points.

...as long as people don't lump me into the same group as Swedes and Norwegians (I'm so used to being asked if I'm German by now because of my accent I'm almost inclined to just say 'yes')

I felt it was more of a 3 ½ hr movie (if you exclude the 15 min epilogue) and that it could've been cut down to about 3 hrs. So I could see this as a 3 hr cinema release. Overall, it was miles ahead of Whedon's version.

Murder on Eridanos, the quest Naked Hunch, repeated crashes on two different xbox devices during this quest. Approaching the door to enter the building after fighting several people and critters, within some close proximity to the door the games crashes without fail. Is this a bug in the game or a corruption somewhere in the save file? It is not just the map location, as the same character had earlier been in the location without any crashes - it crashes in this area with this quest. Duplicated on two different xboxs, but with the same character and save files. Any help is appreciated. Krag

Snyder cut. If they ran the slow motion scenes at normal speed, it'd be a 90 minute movie.

That moment when you realize you forgot to check this thread before buying a game.
