Some time back @Elric Galad made the suggestion of a mod to enable a standalone playthorugh of the Seeker Slayer Survivor DLC: I've (sporadically) worked on implementing this concept, and the mod is now at the point where it's a fully playable - big thanks to everyone in the modding subforum thread! I thought to post it here since this new gamemode may be of general interest. Features New Game starts with entering the Temple of Toamowhai, and you'll be blocked from exiting the island. All quests flags will be set appropriately. You'll begin at Lv 16 with 100'000 gold and a Superb copy of every weapon and armor kind. You'll be free to access the inn and hire a full party of adventurers before taking on any challenges (just speak to Humaire once first). Challenges will provide extra gold (50k) and experience. These rewards are repeatable, but your party will reach Lv19 in the later parts of the campaign even if you only do the mandatory challenges. Vendors will sell unique loot and large quantities of all consumables and misc items: Caretta will sell all (non-SSS) Unique Armor and Weapons. Winge will sell all Grimoires, Scrolls, Trinkets and Unique Accessories. (Note that Winge is available after the first challenge.) Neale will sell all Potions, Ingredients and Upgrade materials. Cook Corrin will sell all Drugs and Prepared Meals. (TODO: Pets, Soulbound Armor & Weapons, Bombs & Traps) Artefact-hunting challenges will be unlocked simultaneously with the ones you get from exploring Kazuwari. You can load any preexisting non-S4 playthrough while the mod is enabled, and experience vanilla behavior! (The changes to rewards and vendors only take effect if a specific flag has been set upon character creation.) To start a new non-S4 game, you only have to temporarily disable the mod (and reboot the game). Then reenable it after character creation, or whenever you go back to your S4 playthroughs. Looking for feedback! All feedback is much appreciated, in particular regarding starting gold and rewards which are currently somewhat abitrary If there are any items missing from Vendors that you think should be available (besides the ones listed TODO above), I'd be happy to hear! Feedback on Levels/Experience reward are also welcome, here are some more details on what's currently implemented: Download -> S4 - Standalone Seeker Slayer Survivor.zip Installation Download the .zip file and extract the content to your override folder. .../Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/override Note that if you install and enable the mod while the game is still running, the vanilla intro scene will still be used. In that case, restart the game once and the mod will thereafter property override the intro scene. (Likewise, if you want to uninstall/disable the mod, the game must be relaunched after the mod has been unstalled/disabled for the intro scene to revert.)

No, only proper weapon hits.

I honestly have no idea, maybe took a knock when I was tipping over the case. Also found out the ATX power plug was loose, lovely problems with the PC this year. All good now, got some AS-5 put a pea...well or whatever the small glob I put on can be called and it seems to be running well. Need to get the new PC picked soon, hah

Have you tried switching zones, restarting the game or even playing the game on another computer? I don't think anyone quite knows what causes it but those are my best guesses. For me it's unreliable, sometimes Hot Razor Skewers +2 Pen will stack with sword modal, sometimes it doesn't etc. After a while it seems to be permanent unless you lose and regain the buff, i.e. if it doesn't stack it never will, if it does stack it always will, until you lose the resting bonus.

Woke up early this morning and hubby was already gone. Alone in the house for two days. Whatever shall I do. ...think I will start with ... every auditory thing he dislikes, at volume 10.

Reminds me of me jumping onto grocery store shelves.

not knowing it existed I set the whole no rest buffs on the +2 spell PEN food so in this playthrough it will only be relevant on crit, but yeah I can see it become monstrous when built properly

I knew the Draining Touch + Phantom trick existed, but just found out the weapon becomes persistant when I tried to cast the 2 spells from different grimoires. Luckily it expires when combat ends so it's neither too op nor too tricky to use.

A version of Ryngrim's Wall of many Colors !

Marvel Studios just announced release dates for about a billion new MCU movies GotG V 3 - 05 May 23 (Wonder if there will also be a Star Wars thing the day before?) Blade - 03 Nov 23 Captain America: New World Order - 03 May 24 (Another one right next to Star Wars day) Thunderbolts - 26 Jul 24 Fantastic 4 - 08 Nov 24 Avengers: The Kang Dynasty - 02 May 25 (They can't stop releasing around that date, huh?) Avengers: Secret Wars - 07 Nov 25 I will watch every single one of them, but might wait for some to come to streaming.

Me calculating when Elric will be at his most busiest and releasing the mod at that exact date:

I have checked that weapon. And yeah. It's a flail weapon with regular flail attack (no keyword). But every time you score a Graze/Hit/Crit in melee with ParentEquippable source, you launch an AoE attack (5m radius centered at target). That attack has Fire kw.

Orcs are making a propaganda film about "liberation" of Mariupol. Which, if you ignore words (in short, they sound utterly believing they are good guys and all that death and destruction they bring is for the greater good), actually looks like very well filmed and rather damning evidence (and it'll probably become this in the next Nurnberg). Not too keen on translating it because I had to shut the computer and go outside for a calming walk after watching it, can do if needed, but video track can kind of speak for itself well enough, I think. https://youtu.be/tDlBJsQ_7TQ

This also works with Caedebald's Blackbow (auto-terrify on the weapon attack which unlocks the +10 ACC). You can build a really good Warbow-Wizard double team (with the Phantom) with this.

I usually don't take any uprade for Lay on Hands because the higher cost of 2 Zeal isn't worth the upgrade (and the precious ability point) imo.

The game is artistically very nice, imo. The environment is very atmospheric/dystopian. ...with occasional almost horror atmosphere. Also, more "zurks", because while they're not cute, I do find them sorta funny. Even moreso when animated and making their weird squeaking noises.

Hi all garden explorers, wouldn't you like to have the opportunity to play with a close friend / family member / boy / girl in this game with split screen mode? .. I would love the idea!

Monk/soul blade can have very high defenses while dealing also incredible damage. Sun and Moon + Tuotilo's Palm + Left Hand of the Obscured coupled with high accuracy (Borrowed Instinct) and Swift Flurry/Heartbeat Drumming are devastating with Soul Annihilation. The double hits of Sun and Moon will trigger Swift Flurry/Heartbeat Drumming even multiple times in a row recharging your focus after each Soul Annihilation. You will also terrify your target causing often disengagement attacks for even more free hits.

Single Class Monk no Subclass straight up annihilates. Swift Strikes+Swift Flurry (like 15% to proc an extra attack on crit) + heart beat drumming + whispers of the wind is crazy good and straight forward. Use fists for crush damage SC monk gets insane scaling for fists, the damage is of regular one handed weapons with the speed of light weapons with extremely high base PEN. You can use sabers for an alternate damage type as very few things if high crush and slash DR or sword for all three damage types (crush fist and sword pierce and slash) Max DEX and PER what’s left over can go to INT or Might if you are going Turning wheel for the INT buffs and fire lash. At the start of the game you have to babysit him a bit if playing POTD (it’s the only difficult I play) but as the game goes on if you have a Paladin/Herald/Liberter/good support healer the monk will be more than fine and kick butt. Lastly efficient Anguish is a boss killer as it can Knock down (thanks to your high PER) almost every single boss (I’m pretty sure all) my party SC Monk kept every dragon and tough boss face planted lol. item wise: Once I get home from the mother in laws I’ll edit!

So was by my local computer store to go to a nearby grocery. Come home and find my CPU temps are spiking, also the cooler was loose. So now have to go back to where I was yesterday

I'll take either 'destroyed' or 'irrevocably changed so they stop having the kinds of policies that appeal to the type of demographic who also thinks voting in a white supremacist is a good idea'. They consistently have policy aimed at oppressing LGBTQ+ people, making it harder for poor people to live, opposing climate change legislation, making it harder for people of colour to vote, opposing any kind of gun control, maintaining a facade of being 'pro life' while opposing policies that actually reduce the rate of abortion, like availability of contraception and welfare for single mothers... And the GOP as it stands right now is buying pretty hard into Trump's lies to the extent that every single GOP politician who tried to point out that Trump was in fact a lying sentient garbage dump has faced ostracisation from the GOP, with Liz Cheney for example being removed from her role as conference chair for correctly criticising Trump. They are a corrupt institution full of corrupt vultures.

Whichever is most likely to destroy the GOP, which is probs any 'not Trump' with Trump running as an independent.
