Interesting. Good to know. I'll try to see it when I play with my diplomatic character.

It's the new beta. Edit:

Was it like this in PoE1 too? Interesting how you can play a game for a thousand hours and still not know how some things work. But as I said, I always have a Mechanics specialist in my party.

Then it must be a bug. It could be the sewer smell, but if you went to the bathhouse it shouldn't be aproblem anymore.

Yes. The more I think about this the worse it looks. It'll probably stop being fun really fast and just compromise my second pt. If I really want to have her along, I might as well simply create a hireling with Vela's portrait, dump some stats and have her as a weak member of the party, but one that levels up and I can control. Edit: included the link for the achievements.

A caring guardian would never bring his/her child along to fight No, but the other characters I have from PoE1 or that I plan to play in Deadfire wouldn't even have her in the first place. A stoic Berath Priest? Wouldn't care if she died in PoE1. The cruel magranite Barbarian? He's probably made the deal with Simoc...

It's all about the roleplay. As a pirate, my Watcher always has Serafen in the party and Mirke most of the time (a cipher is more useful ). The last two slots will go for Aloth and Fassina when I play the third DLC. Unfortunately no space for the others, unless I need a priest.

I never payed attention to lockpicks because Serafen always had much more Mechanics than what was necessary. But that seems like a bug. The only other reason I can think is if it is somehow prevented by the quest. If you need two points, rest at The Wild Mare and equip an item or use a consumable (Thief's Putty?).

It is incomplete. There is even an indication that the three npcs But that doesn't show up in the dialogue.

I don't care about achievements. I would be interested if I could get all of them in a game, but that never happens. There is always something absurdly difficult that removes all the fun of it or requires you to retry a few dozen times (and I don't have the time to do it). For example: "finish the game in 2 minutes" or "Holy Crown Solo", so I don't bother. Berath's Blessings and mods are an entirely different thing though. They can make the game much more interesting and add a lot of replay value. And so can the Challenges. But if I have to choose, I'll go with BBs and mods.

I hope they change this part of the game. I'm waiting at least a month anyway.

I'm really curious about the flashfowards. I wouldn't mind if they did an entire season in that period, assuming there is actually something interesting going on.

Do you import this character at level 19? What happens if you choose him when starting a game?

Or maybe it was the Leaden Key?

A pity they already included a Ooze mega boss. Or they could make a sanguine Ooze.

Given the increased sidekick reactivity in BoW and SSS, don't forget to bring Fassina along.

I don't know much about the AI, but if she can trigger traps they are going to be a problem. I'll test later, but I imagine that simply stopping near a trap to disarm it will be enough to put it within Vela's movement range. Maybe she she stand still when in stealth? Another thing to check. One way or another you can keep the watcher away and Vela will be safe because she orbits her parent.

It could also be "hidden". Sometimes I get an item and it is not the first one in the stash. Don't ask me why.

Several websites in my country are saying Luke Cage has been canceled. I can't find confirmation in any website in English. If this is true, then I hope they are preparing a Heroes for Hire show. Luckily Jessica Jones' season 3 has already been done (but not aired). Also, this is interesting: https://winteriscoming.net/2018/10/19/netflixs-chief-promises-marvel-shows-arent-going-anywhere/ Edit: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/luke-cage-canceled-2-seasons-netflix-1154016 "A source tells The Hollywood Reporter the cancellation was due to creative differences and the inability to agree to terms for a third season of the show. Netflix doesn't release viewership figures for its content." I guess no Heroes for Hire then.

Maybe one of the companions is pickpocketing you. And here I thought the ones in PoE1 were bad for telling people about your lies and giving you the deceptive disposition.

I think these situations shouldn't be like that. I suggest you report these "unintentional" situations in the bug forum. Then the devs will see it and let us know if that is the case. Here it will be more difficult for them to notice. I was the Slayer's chosen but I didn't try to end things peacefully so I don't know if it changes anything. Btw, these people have been there for a long time, so if these things are intentional, then it is simply because they are insane.

I don't care about achievements or even the challenge. I will choose the options that make the game more enjoyable for me. For example: I could choose Galawain's challenge but start with fine weapons and more money to be better prepared for the digsite. This wouldn't necessarily negate the challenge, since the enemies would still have some strange behavior that my equipment can't compensate.

Omg this would be really cool. Play with Berath's Challenge too and end the game with no companions because they died with your spells and you couldn't resurrect them since you were busy recasting withdraw on Vela.

I'll test it tomorrow. I'm watching Daredevil season 3 now.

Very good question. I hope the answer is yes.
