BS skeleton fight

I'm starting to get the feeling that this is one of those posts... -

When in doubt, lower the difficulty. Edit : Or listen to Boeroer ! -
For me, POTD with crit path upscaling seems to be a good difficulty. I also added Woedica's challenge for extra joy. Most fights are balanced and every now and then I need to use all of my party's tricks and abilities to survive an encounter. I often get wiped and am forced to rethink my strategy. The DLCs in particular have been challenging in this aspect... I must have restarted the Burning Bridge like 10 times, at lvl 16. As for the base game, the difficulty is also pretty good. Overall, I'm liking the challenge. The only bore was fighting Concelhaut, which took almost 15 minutes because of his high defenses and my lack of resting beforehand.

I still have hope for POE 3: - the tools and the engine are in place - the mechanics are established (hopefully) - there is a market for the game, albeit a small one A shorter, focused game with heavy modding options could be viable IMO. Honestly, I'm really impressed by the junior designers for BoW, SSS and FS.

God Challenges Feedback!

they don't? (haven't tried beta) Well, I checked with the beta and no, they don't... shame because Woedica's challenge is already pretty rough with the no healing and only prepared meals counting for camping. Heya dukeisaac, Did you attempt to empower while out of combat while checking this? Empowering your hero should still refund resources in Woedica's Challenge if used while in combat. While outside of combat, currently it does nothing (but it also shouldn't consume your empower). There's a bug in our system for the team to look at this, but that should be how it currently works. Hope that helps =) I'll try it out tomorrow But if this is true, I'm one happy camper ! Thanks Andy Edit: I can confirm that it works and that its awesome. Many thx to the dev team ! -

Some feedback for Woedica's challenge: it would be great if empowers would still give for half resources (like in the main game). Please ? -
With Patch 4.0 and the third DLC out on December 13th, Deadfire will be in a very good state IMO. Pretty good balance, a multitude of ways to customise your experience (difficulty, bonuses, builds, etc.), so far excellent DLC... It's finally getting to what I was hoping for when I backed it. It still has systemic issues, but there is enough good and very good to make it a memorable game, which I hope to play for another 300 hours + Just don't tell my wife.

v4.0.0 is now available on the Beta Branch
dukeisaac replied to Cdiaz's question in Patch Beta Bugs and Support
God Challenges no longer disable mods or Berath's Blessings. Am I reading this right ? Does this mean I can have Berath's Blessings and Magran's Challenges AT THE SAME TIME ?!!?
