Turning to POTD midgame.

YES! Thaos can ohko a top gear equipped and buffed group. Misses are very common especially at the beginning of the game. -
Mobbing causes phychological trauma. It's not that different from physical trauma, you just don't see it straight away. Imagine it as being beaten with police batons. But invisible ones. And not once, but continuously. If at first you are enraged against police brutality - "what's going on? i didn't break any laws!", after a while you just want the pain to stop. Both psychological and physical torture eventually lead to the same end. Funny that some people don't see such obvious things... Now enter police batons. What happened to the incident?

The most enjoyed English language writer I've ever encountered is William Gibson. I'm just drawn instantly and deeply into the scenery he's weaving.

an interesting fact: until my kid turned 4 she wasn't even aware she was talking 2 languages. In time she will forget one. I know a lot of people who forget the language spoken by parents but not spoken outside.

I'm not a linguist by choice. It just happened that I moved countries a few times in my life. As for the languages, let's say each belongs to a completely different group.

Hello, pplz. I'm fluent in 3 languages, can read in 3 more. I've noticed that my thoughts sometimes form a sentence that contains the fragments of all 3 languages that I'm fluent in at the same time. I can begin in one, continue in another and finish in one more. I've also noticed that my phrases have become shorter and more informative. The overall descriptiveness has decreased. Sometimes I find myself in a position where I'm picking an optimal construction in another language even in a conversation with a person that doesn't know that particular language. I'm wondering if any1 else has got a similar issue.

Nothing is wrong with obsidian, they're trying their best and are loved for what they are. The short answer is because their games are so complex and offer so much gameplay opportunities it's simply impossible for a programmer no matter how involved and talented to keep track of the whole product. I can't even fathom an automated test for a game like PoE. Everything requires human hand, mind and understanding and humans are not perfect, they make mistakes. The games get polished eventually and I must say PoE vanilla was very polished in relation to the game's scope, it had only 1 major bug and even that bug was solvable. Before lashing at obsidian you should stop and consider for a few hours how much effort it takes to make a game like PoE, a game where the gameplay doesn't seem like a bowel movement by its straightforwardness. A game like PoE must be a soul drainer for a dev and it doesn't yeid as much profit as do other much less dev devotion demanding titles. I'm glad we still have ppl like Obsidian, inXile, HBS and Ice-Pick lodge who persevere in our console age. Yes, their games aren't AAA, but we never asked them to be. Those who wade against the current, I salute you.
