Evil Companions
Magnificate replied to dskinner's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Not really. Nothing is "objectively" evil. What would be evil to one person would be considered kindhearted to another (yes, even the things you listed). Nah, objective Goodness and objective Truth both exist. Of the classic three only Beauty is relative. Don't agree with you there. Beauty, goodness, and even truth are all in the eye of the beholder, and are therefore relative. Hell, have you looked at the US elections, or just politics in general? All these people have such diverging opinions on what's the truth, what is best for their object of interest, and arguing that what they think is the "goodest" or most kind. True, it can be argued that Goodness and Truth are hard if not impossible for us to discern. But, it is my belief that both of them do objectively exist. But, here is hardly the best place to debate such things. -

Osric's Family Breastplate?

In other words, it's not meant to be looted? :D -
The less icons the better. At the moment almost all characters got the Second Wind icon and it's just taking up space. Simplicity appeals to my sense of aestetics, Agreed. However, resting once to get Inn bonuses and then resting the second time to get rid of fatigue and get Survival bonuses wouldn't be bad either from both 'mechanics' and 'immersion' point of view.

Is the new Athletics rework supposed to outright eliminate fatigue? I can understand decoupling fatigue from Athletics, but at the same time I would still expect to get tired after walking for hours or days on end. BTW, why is Second Wind an activated ability? No other skill works that way. Why not simply provide some passive bonus to Endurance? On the other hand, thumbs up for the Survival rework.

PotD Adra Dragon Strategy
Magnificate replied to aartamen's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Paralyze Scrolls. Used repeatedly. From more than one source. Even on PoTD it is possible to lock-down the Adra Dragon. Granted, the tactic is hardly fair, but fighting fair will get you killed.
