Haven't tried them all (as the Watcher) and I'm not sure I ever will. I have a feeling I'd never be able to play without at least Eder and Aloth...and I like having two fighter types in a party. So far that means I often pick Fighter, because then I'm the other Fighter, and I create/hire a Priest, leaving two slots to cycle people in and out as I choose (or not). I've tried being a Cipher (works well with Eder as tank, seems like) and started one where I was a Rogue, but haven't gotten far in that save yet. I have zero interest in Paladins (for myself or the companion) and little interest in Rangers. Might try a Druid at some point, or maybe making myself the Priest and hiring a 2nd Fighter. Solo...if I ever try this, I have no idea. Lots of ideas out there, but I don't know what might work for me/that I'd like, personally.

A rapier would be nice, thanks, I'll take a peek at that. Hm. Doesn't list locations, if any are specific. It's always possible some are quest rewards. Or just the random-ish. Edit: @Luckman - hm, I've cleared that floor already, I don't remember seeing it. I'll go back and double-check. I do have a bunch of "Fine" sabers in my stash, tho. haha.

That might have been the one in the thread I was thinking of. I like that some cool items are in stores - it's not like you can buy tons of them if you're skipping large swaths of the game (thus not making as much money) and even if you sold everything you still couldn't buy EVERY cool item from every shop. So I think it's to give people playstyle options, as well as be a money-sink.

So in my very first game (1st chr ever made), I found these two special weapons with the property "of draining." One is a stiletto I think, the other a flail. I found the first very early in the game and the flail I either found or bought from a store, I can't remember now. (edit - it leeches a bit o' endurance) But I haven't seen any others and I'm in mid-Act3 maybe - anyone know if there any more with this property, eg a sword or spear etc? I like using them on dual-wielders - they're very handy/helpful/fun, at least on Normal difficulty. ;p

I'm pretty sure I saw a thread whereby a named weapon someone wanted didn't drop out of the exact same container or enemy as expected, but that the item was at least linked to/found in a certain dungeon. So not sure all named/special items are strictly tied. But again, I don't know for sure.

It's semantics, I know, but it might be more of an oversight than true bug. I haven't run into this problem because I made the assumption that if it says 4 slots, I need to have 4 slots actually currently free for something to work, even if it's "replacing" another enchant. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to assume the same, so I think the other thread on this topic is more correct - that an explanation is missing. Or they can change it to work the other way.

It's a mixture of handplaced fixed loot and "random" - a lot of containers, maybe some enemies, at least, are somewhat random per game - whether it's all done at the creation of the game or done upon 1st entry of a map, I have no idea either.

It's not just you. Although I think I can use the edge of map icons if I mouse-hover over the right spot, just like I can with interactables (no, they don't Tab highlight, but they still work if you mouse-hover/click). It's probably mostly intended as a vanity mode for screenshots/videos, anyway.

That's the too-made-up look I don't like, I prefer less fantastical faces, and usually ones that look a bit older. One reason I'm having such trouble re: females. I've probably looked at 500 wallpapers and stuff by now, hehe. The 2nd and 4th aren't bad (except for the mohawk, heh). I like serious/scowly expressions. Anyway, I'll look some more at those links later, too. I'll find something. If I get too desperate I can photoshop-wash more famous ppl.

Ok, I think this topic has too much potential to be spoilery re: companions. Instead of trying to spoiler tag everything, I'm going to move this topic.

Still searching for Asian type portraits that appeal to me. "fantasy Asian warrior" "fantasy Asian sorceress" ...you can imagine where that gets me. Even if not nekkid, it's their faces that are all wrong. I don't want sexpot pouty-lipped, photo-like or anime-based faces. Maybe I should just photoshop a pic of myself. BAH. I did like this generic guy portrait (among others). No idea of the creator/source, one of those wallpapers you find on dozens of sites....dangit, I wish I could draw.

Not that this would help in your particular case since you need two slots back, but I noticed that you can only have Fine/Exceptional or Damaging. That is, if you already have Fine enchant, and you think you can add Damaging2 on top of that ... well, you can't. Doing so makes "Fine" totally disappear. So ... if you/someone were short by one, maybe you could enchant with Damaging1, getting rid of Fine and thus gaining 1 point. ... um ... not sure I have the math right, but maybe?

Define "all." The only easily changeable npc portraits that I can see belong to Thaos and "that elf woman" plus the companions. They are .png's in the art folder, just like the player character portraits. Thus I'd assume you could overwrite them with a portrait of your own choosing, as long as it's the same name (copy the originals elsewhere first if you don't want to lose them). Other NPC's of the "meet and greet" or brief quest are probably in one of the asset bundles or something.

omg, Gotta mention this one to my husband.

I'm still a bit disgruntled that you can't even put a tiny enchantment on a cloak yourself. It would have been nice if putting tons of points in Lore would have allowed you to put a few minor enchants on helmets/capes etc. None of the big ones, just minor things.

I looked with a lvl2 chr. and I think you're correct. And in that case ... @jones092201, are you looking at the Enchanting menu or the Crafting menu, when you say you don't see all the enchantments? (edit: oh wait, you mentioned Bash and stuff. I'm not sure those are available enchantments? The wiki may have some outdated info?)

I 'd.

I think some of them don't show up until you reach certain clvls, then they magically appear in the Enchantment menus.

Dear Diary: I'm antsy and bored today. I think I'm going to go buy a new deck lounge chair, make some margarita's and spend the rest of the afternoon toasting the high life while blasting The Hoff's new song for the neighbors. LC

Post count. New adventures await.

One of those films I expect to intensely dislike yet there's always that small chance...so maybe I should see it on the big screen just in case. But I'm usually too lazy to deal with the hassle of a theater even when I think I'd like a movie, let alone when I'm very doubtful. ...maybe I'll just buy an 70" TV and a new speaker system, instead.

I also would consider Durance on the "evil" side, if you read all his dialogues. An unpleasant (if occasionally comment-amusing) person indeed. But he's not eeeeveeelllllll. I don't find any of the companions super good or super evil in any obvious cliche ways (which I personally like). They have histories, beliefs and goals that they'll impart and you either agree/respect them or dislike/don't respect them or somewhere inbetween. Kind of like in real life.

In my case, the actual mailing box the CE came in was basically a square cardboard box (not a flatish mailer) - 12 inches by 13 inches - with an air-filled bag to fill up the space. So definitely wouldn't fit in a mail slot or even in the average (USA) mailboxes.

I've seen this reported in the Tech forum. Some kind of glitch/bug. Don't know the trigger (may be more than one).
