Pillars of divinity: Original fire

Please, don’t. Jumping into bazillion quests right from the start is pretty disorienting

My take on this — every single NPC is romancible (unless morally opposed to, roll some faithfulness/faith/story/whateverelsereasons at world generation) and recruitable with some templating magicks. Depending on how you are going about it revenge, jealousy, treachery, cruelty, espionage, attempted murder or battle royale with massive collateral damage to your property and/or sanity might follow. Or maybe you are a good* fella and everything works out. * Good’s defined relative to NPCs in question.

So either it’s “everyone suffer” or “feelgood deux ex machina?” Eh…

Never liked narrators in games. I really don’t like to be reminded that I’m not actually in charge.

Hope Eternal. You hope, eternally, but nothing happens.

- No 64-bit (Linux) version in 2016 I guess my money go elsewhere. Damn

Is GOG Linux version really 32-bit? Because “32-bit” and “6-8+ GB RAM” requirements don’t mesh quite well in my mind.

There are no bears, Neo.

Considering that devs’ opinion on what a certain disposition is can differ greatly from player’s, I advise against this.

Is Dune sci-fi or fantasy? [pokerface]

But why would you put cheese on potatoes? Grab a frying pan and see for yourself

I have no idea about the “soul” thing, but I really liked the portrayal of a (possibly) benevolent healer god that actually did something. And he isn’t even present in the world.

PoE priests do not depend on a deity to cast spells. Besides, Untroubled Faith is already a thing.

So, you cast 2 spells and then do nothing, yay. Sounds boring. On the other hand if the priest still have attacking spells available and can cast them this achieves pretty little. Besides, chanter already exists.

That depends on your definition of “(un)reasonable.” Believing in a flat earth was a pretty reasonable thing to do in the past.

Well, I’m not sure it’ll make an interesting story as it isn’t quite in line with PoE's story, but here it is. My pale elven priestess (somewhat high Res, Int) was a mystic from The White that Wends, which in this case was a poetic reference for the world beyond this one (or between them? I’m not sure myself). She and her trusty beastslaying other self and a glorious immaterial space piglet came here following her visions. Visions are Tuesday for a mystic, really. In this world she presents herself as a priestess of Eothas (who may or may not had a hand in her appearance) and mostly play the part. She isn't really worshipping him but she respects those ideals he happens to represent. Too bad she arrived too late to have any chance to have any philosophical debate. Big things were happening and she intended to witness them. Surprisingly, she was a “big thing” this time… Thaos connection was handwaved, possibly as Eothas mudding things in a gambit against Woedica, depending on how PoE2 is going to go about Eothas. In the case of Iovara there was no connection in the past but there is now. And my character isn’t hot about the whole reincarnation thing as well as she percieves it as a loss of everything one achieved. So, after the final battle my priestess’ new goal is to find a way to free Iovara from that place without travelling through the wheel of souls. Which, likely, requires god’s intervention. Now, about that dead Eothas business… In the end here there will likely be no gods. It doesn’t mean they (all) will be dead, but they won’t be gods anymore and wouldn’t have grand power over kith. Holders of knowledge rather than rulers.

AFAIR, at the very least there is a sword that boosts accuracy of others against those you hit, assuming it’s working as intended. Story-wise there is a reason to choose between the two, but it's spoilerish. Although the game does not really take full advantage of your choice here. There is also a priest of Magran companion.

Killing dangerous monsters is an achievement. Not killing dangerous monsters… not so much.

Speaking of wishes. I'd like to have easy way to mod any dialog

Helmet has a higher priority than souls, AFAIR.

Someone could join as a woodcutter at a later date, theoretically speaking.

Anything you liked? The things the where already mentioned, so I've kinda skipped them. The story, character creation (more or less), Edér, no class restrictions (soulbound weapons notwithstanding), many spells to choose from. Hmm, WM2 sudden spoilery things too. Oh, and the fact that for once “a follower of a good healing god” is so damn interesting concept. Too bad potential of being one is never fully realised.
