  1. Check here: (spoilers- monster names) Monster Strengths and Weakenesses Lots of creatures with high resistance to Slashing With sword you will do Piercing damage against those creatures Sabre doesnt look as powerful now?
  2. About the Pillars of Eternity, you see some glass-green pillars right at the beginning of the game, in the Encampment I assumed that has something to do with it If you ask Odema about it, he tells you about the strange properties of the rocks and how soul butchers in Defiance Bay use it for weird stuff so am assuming that has to do with the "Pillars of Eternity" since we are introduced to it straight from the start, or it could be a coincidence and those are some just random pillars Thoughts?
  3. people saw you going up to his room and then he turns up dead so they know it's you?
  4. I'll do Paladin if noone else is doing it yeah go ahead take the paladin i'm not gonna be able to get to that in the next few days anyway
  5. You mean the Giant Miniature Space Piglet? That's pre-order
  6. It's NOT similar. At all. It's an utterly different approach to game design. It's literally the "everything works on everything so if you do not wish to think, you don't have to, kids" game design that appeals to casuals...who, you know, can't be bothered to think and adapt to unique challenges. Let me give you an example. The Adra Dragon. Toughest enemy in the game. The Adra Dragon has 35DR to fire, which is about the highest fire resistance of any creature in the game. So, what does this mean? Does it mean "almost immune!"? or "Hehehe Close enough!"? NOPE. It means that a wizard's first level fire spell (Fan of Flames) can hit that Adra Dragon for 15-30 burn damage. Or Crit for almost double that.... and this is assuming the wizard only has 10 might. Feel free to do the math for an optimally built 24 Might Aumaua, who's taken the Scion of Flame talent and then spams fan of flames. By contrast, In Icewind Dale if you toss any fire spell at, say, a Salamander, you'll do exactly NO DAMAGE to it at all. No wait, excuse me... you'll do less than that. You'll HEAL him instead. <----- that's how a real, tactical RPG does it. So maybe the solution is to increase the DRs for those elements that they are resistant to?
  7. Basically its a ring you can equip and use to heal sometimes: Gaun's Plege Certainly not OP and you can just sell if if you dont want to use it
  8. yeah it's like a teddy bear haha seriously though, it wouldve been cool if the animal companions got bigger as the ranger leveled
  9. I made a chart showing each monster's strengths and weaknesses: Pillars of Eternity: Monster Strengths and Weakenesses Can be used to plan combat more strategically!
  10. maybe you could kill them? (or get them killed if you dont want to be too evil)
  11. do you have the latest patch? it fixed some bug with loading times
  12. Hey I made this chart showing what all monsters are vulnerable or resistant to ( in terms of Damage Reduction/Defenses) (SPOILERS: Monster names!) Pillars of Eternity: Monster Strengths and Weaknesses Hope this helps
  13. yeah thats a cool feature and there are other ways to bypass fighting also related to attributes/dialog etc
  14. Made this chart after having getting my ass kicked in many combats Making this table took me many hours of work, but it helps me prepare for the combat more strategically and beat the monsters with less casualties, even if they are higher level: Pillars of Eternity: Monster Strengths and Weakenesses Basically, use it to look up the monster(s) you are fighting and to choose what weapons or abilities/spells will be the most least effective I've learned Pillars of Eternity is designed in a way such that if you just blindly button mash your way through combat then you will get killed very quickly. Hope this helps be sure to bookmark it so you can check it every time you play and prepare for battle!
  15. check this thread: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71722-the-custom-portraits-thread/ and see what ppl are requesting most
  16. I think it should be 1.03 something
  17. This page lists merchandise you can buy at Winfrith's Arms and Armory But it does not list Justice? Where did you get that you can buy Justice there? I went to check myself and it wasnt there. but you can buy there: Tall Grass St Rumbalt Grudge Keeper Ritezzi's Thorn Mosquito
  18. yeah special immunities would be cool Though if you look at the Bestiary (SPOILERS!), The game does have different damage resistance for different creature groups. For example some creatures are weaker to burn damage, some resist slashing damage, etc. Thats the closest there is to unique immunities right now.
  19. just use a custom portrait. Thats what I do. There is a thread here where you can find/request portraits: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71722-the-custom-portraits-thread/
  20. hey so I finished the Fighter pages: Fighter - Main Page Fighter - Category Page Fighter Abilities - Category Page Fighter Talents - Category Page As always, feel free to improve any of the pages for example like by adding strategy tips etc. Thanks to all those who added stuff to the Barbarian pages. Am working on the Monk right now
