To me this isnt even close. The story companions all the way . First they have cool stories and are fun to adventure with. Next for most of the game especially the early part they are just flat out better than custom adventurers because they are 1 level higher than custom adventurers. They have better defenses and access to more skill and spells. Later on the difference wont matter any more but earlier on there is still an advantage to story companions. What you see in chats is people saying companions have bad stats but his misunderstands how valuable stats are. Unlike D&D stats have a more linear slow progression. This is part of the 'no bad builds' philosophy and was done to promote more roleplaying options like muscle wizard with low intellect or intellect fighter with low strength. There is also no attribute requirements like D&D on class skills and spells so you can mix and match attributes to class and roles all you want.

Basically it comes down to the rogues main purpose in POE is single target DPS and there are classes who out perform this one thing the rogue does and they do others things as well. But rogues are still fine as a class because the directors main goal for this game was "No bad builds" so this isnt d&d and with trap builds all over. If you like rogues just play them and you will find they hit hard but maybe a little squishy if you go melee. You just have to micro them and protect them in melee more Something else to remember in this game, classes are not locked into skills. So anyone can be the trap guy or anyone can be the lore guy (cast spells from scrolls). There are no gates like D&D

I think its for two reasons you see this: First this is a newish class that is different from standard d&D at least the versions you see in video games. There is novelty in this. It is a cool class a mix of weapon damage and casting. Second when the game first came out they were way overpowered and went through several iteration of nerfs. They are still really good but there was lots back and forth about the changes.

Any class/race combo will work for roleplaying. I think in just straight numbers cipher gets more mentions in game also orlan i remember gets some mentions for reasons i wont say but its not worth doing your whole playthrough just on that fact necessarily. In this game there is no charisma stat so all the stats contribute to combat and dialogue. Some more than others. example perception (better accuracy), intellect (bigger AOE and longer abilties), resolve (more deflection). These 3 come up the most in dialogue.

LUL there are some babies out there

I have seen the ? icon when enemy becomes aware of you. Not sure what it means in combat

This is interesting : I like that they invest in your choices and exploration you did in game and react to stuff you have done in the world

Here is link to critter cleaver . Wow just Wow

Here is interview with Megan Starks; That is interesting so flaws arent just a debuff you could get but an actual penalty to the gameplay mechanics. I wonder what other flaws will be like this , like your vision is impaired , you lose an arm, etc. just ewwww LOL.

The stats with the most conversation are Perception, Intellect, Resolve. So some combination of two of these would be fine. There is a lot of variety you could go for in melee. Basically any class can go melee. Do you want to tank or dual wield or two handed? I am fan of fighter (steady dps, sturdy) and barbarian (high dps through aoe attack, lower defense), Monk i hear can be best of both worlds high dps and sturdy. as for a builds there is a build list in the forum. Most are min maxed but you dont have to the builds work without that for the most part.

Aarik D. said you can holster your weapon on discord

The beginning of this youtuber video about the outer worlds had me rolling

I am guessing this is just a demo, but in the trailer around 1:17 the Main puts the gun away. So it may work that way in the real game to. I get that isnt necessarily gameplay though

love it

In this video gameplay they said there is a attributes level up systems

in the video on ign they said you can slow down time, there you go

Best thing i heard in that video is that game is not massive open world game thank goodness.

Dialogue Dumb option LUL

Ye Im a potato and there is a skill on that screen shot also LUL

This is Steam page So is there no skills?, it does say character build though? is this like elder scrolls stuff where you get better by doing stuff? Looking forward for more info and am curious how your character will affect the world. I am also curios what is "player-driven story RPG". Sound like sandbox or exploration game like elder scrolls to me with no or little narrative. I generally like an interesting narrative story but im sure ill try this anyway Edit : thanks slopesandsam there is screen shot with dialogue and skills nice

Ye hopefully there is good choice and consequence

You just want to watch the world burn around you. LUL this

Here you go AndreaColombo, the 'not sanguine plate' is back in the game ---- the crimson panoply. Here they are talking about it some more
