I think it would be a nice feature if we could save a single character (at the end of it's creation) into file so we could use it in future games without going through the whole process all over again. Just an idea, what do you think?

Still, I find Hearth Orlan's passive the best of all races combined together.

Sad thing you cannot use cloak and an amulet at the same time - from reasons unknown in PoE they both go into same slot..

Please correct me if I'm wrong but has it been said they will start sending keys for digital versions of the game on 26th March? I was wondering if there is a chance for pre-download?

I'm not sure if you are aware how exactly the sneak attack in PoE works.. You don't need Stealth (unless going for ability like Backstabb) to make use of Rogue's sneak attack. Every hit that Rogue delivers counts as a sneak attack when the target is Blinded, Flanked, Hobbled, Paralyzed, Petrified, Prone, Stuck, Stunned or Weakened, as well as when any target is struck within two seconds of combat starting. So, in fact you don't have to invest a single point in Stealth if you don't want to. Personaly, I only use Stealth while getting in shooting range with my fighter to pull the mobs.

Well, classes you have mentioned are (more or less) designed to use light armor type so.. Nothing stands against them using robes or padded armor (15-20% penalty). And as axedice already said, every point spent in Dex (over 10) will decrease the penalty even more. As a sidenote, I think that only Fighter class has a ability to lower the penalty of using heavier armor types.

Indeed that was a bug. The soul vessel just vanished in stash after looting directly to it. After a quickload I changed the loot option and everything was fine. Damn, that spear is awesome.. Thanks for help

To be honest, I can't imagine playing a party without sneak-attacking rogue. For me it's a bread and butter of a RPG. Just look at my precious one, isn't she cute? (especially with all those wonderful toys xD )

Yup, I did kill him and loot his corpse. I think there was someting like soul vessel but now as I search through my stash (I looted all there) I cannot find it.. Weird. I got Nridek's brain though

I was trying to perform the Cladhaliath spear ritual but.. somehow I always fail. I got the spear in my character's hands, I put two party members on correct tiles on the floor and my main (holding the spear) stands on top of the stairs. Nothing happens. What am I missing?

I've encountered this bug in build 435. It happened exactly twice, both when I tried to check item's description in loot window. At the first time it was a crossbow, second item was a belt (both found in spiders/ogre cave). Description window was persistent so I had to quit to main menu and then load again.

So you're not going to bring any of the real companions? Frankly said.. No, I don't If I have to be honest, I dislike premade characters. Every time I start new RPG I find some of them, NPCs that were created by someone else. Their character conflicts with my own so much that in a short time I'm starting to hate them So it was with PoE BB - after few minutes a single thought came to my mind "My, oh my.. How to kill them all?". Soo... My cipher did it. And then I ran to the inn and recruited 5 new adventurers. Yup, now it's perfect

Thank you all for clarifying. In fact, that talent's description was confusing for me - all in all, my character is using a single weapon.. On the other hand I'm sacrificing another talent to get this one so why not? Still, I find it worth consideration in future development.

Based on my BB experience I will try my first pass with: 2x Fighter (both Amuaua Coastal), 2x Cipher (both Orlan Hearth), Priest (Godlike Moon), Rogue (Orlan Hearth). Oh, and a banner "We brake for nobody" xD

I was able to make 3 enchants on weapons: fine, accuracy-2, damaging-2. I've noticed some of the found weapons already have 3 enchants and even then allow 1 more (like quality).

My fighter already has a talent called "Weapon and shield style" and I was wondering if it would stack with "one-handed style"? I also have a rogue in my party and was thinking about choosing extra one-handed style as a bonus to the one he has already - two weapon style. Would it work together?

I played yesterday and experienced same problem (Dyrford Ruins, rooms close to Wymund)- in my case the temple guards had even bigger defense stats like >240 (which doesn't seem normal for Normal diff. lvl.). My whole party couldn't hit that NPC even once and my priest's spells were off at that time. After a quickload and a rest I tried to attack them with spells targeting Fortitude cause both their Deflection and Reflex were over 240. I finaly succeeded but it was a nightmare. I think that might be a bug.
