Since there was just two options, killing him or letting him go, I have no doubt that the first one is right. Ideally, though, there should be a judgement of some form. But he did kill a lot of people and had plenty of time to be shocked about what he was doing and stop. He didn't. It seems to me that he didn't kill anyone else since Cold Morn, but that doesn't change anything for me. I'm playing as a Bleak Walker and having the best role playing experience I ever had in games, so there was no doubt about what to do there. My character is certainly not qualified for this decision. But I don't think anyone will complain because people are afraid of her. In several moments she was aggressive/cruel and the initially brave or angry npcs lowered their voices.

Well, if you had Hiravias in your party, then you know what he has to say about that. Or, actually, what he would like to know about that...

Bigger maps, more companions, the Vailian Republics and the Living Lands. Edit: forget about more companions. As other people are saying, it would be better to have less, but deeper and better related to the story.

Awesome! I hope we have a bigger game (bigger maps, more quests, more companions, etc..)

I'm still on my second playthrough, but I'm already preparing the portraits for my custom party after that. Here are some of them: Edit: Some of the pictures in this post were in the wrong size (smaller). Here are the correct ones for PoE:

I'm on my second playthrough and I'm having as much fun as on the first one. Thanks Obsidian!

Maybe it will start in the Vailian Republics and involve the Dreadfire Archipelago.

The Vailian Republics and the Living Lands would be my preferred places for PoE2. Not sure if this is a spoiler, but we are in the non-spoiler area, so...

Yes! I have not played the expansion yet. I was waiting for this. Thanks everyone in Obsidian.

Your link doesn't work for me. It tells me I need to be logged in, in order to edit the nexus page. <edit> great mod idea though. Thanks a lot for your work . That should do it. Changed link There was an error on the page. Do I need to log in on nexus? I don't have an account there. Maybe that is the problem.

You just convinced me to have him in my party. I don't like monks, but if the character is interesting, he is in.

IIRC when I spoke with the gods for the second time Durance didn't react about some revelations (Magran siding with Woedica, for example). So I replayed that part but left Galawain for last and it was different. Then Durance reacted. I don't remember the details, so I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this properly. But this is something that could be corrected (if it hasn't been yet),

Thanks for the stats, mychal26. I think I'll use 25% too, just in case I don't do all the quests.

I think I'll have another character as my tank. I wanna play with high Might and Resolve because of the dialogue options and a low Int would be bad for a Paladin. I'll probably go with: Might 16/Con 14/Dex 10/Per 8/Int 14/Res 16

How do you distribute them? Do you think it's better to have better perception and dexterity?

I'm gonna play with a paladin (Bleak Walker) with high Might, Con and Resolve, in Hard. I want her on the front line killing as many enemies as possible, so I imagine she might need to be a tank. Would it be too bad to have Intellect 9? I'm considering these two possibilities: Might 19 Might 16 Con 16 Con 15 Dex 8 Dex 8 Per 8 Per 8 Int 9 Int 15 Res 18 Res 16 Edit: I wrote 10, but I'm actually considering Int 9. It's corrected now.

Hooray! Thanks for the update. Fellow players - remember you can copy paste the old Faith and Conviction using the mod linked above (albeit this means your NPCs don't get the benefits of the new version). What are the benefits of the new version?

Thanks everyone for your answers. I think I'll use +33% like Buzda. But I won't start playing in a week or two, so I'll check it again then.

Has anyone finished the game with this change in experience? Can you still reach the maximum level?

If you increase the experience to level up by 50%, can you reach the level cap?

I'm as excited to play the expansion as I was on my first playthrough. Well done Obsidian!

They openly said that Devil of Caroc and Zahua are new companions. Ystala doesn't seem to be, but they still have the unrevealed fourth hero who's probably in White March too (maybe part 2?) Ok, I didn't know that. In fact the third one is a portrait from character creation and they are using those for other characters in the card game.

Well, this could be a spoiler... Are the new companions those three in the "Heroes of the White March (Booster 2)" stretch goal for the card game kickstarter? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2081578473/pillars-of-eternity-lords-of-the-eastern-reach-car

I'd rather play a game several times doing what I think is fun than check the achievements and play in a way to get them.

There is also the possibility that putting a God in a human mind would somehow cripple him. Can you force a brain in a single neuron? Ok, this is a big exaggeration, but maybe the gods are on another level, so they may lose something by coming to the physical level. Eothas could have behaved strangely because of this and that would be the reason he didn't explain what was going on. Well, I actually don't believe this, what Achilles said above is much more intersting to consider, Eothas dying on purpose.
