They definitely pulled it off. There is something majestic about isometric view games that 3D games does not have

*!!!Minor spoilers for that path beneath the keep! I advice you not to read this if you haven't done it yourself already!!!* I reached the part where you get to the Vithrak cavern at lvl... 12 I think, the place where you encounter Tcharek. So... you have ventured down into the treacherous paths. Fought hordes of lizardmen, elementals, shades, drakes and living mushrooms carved out of nightmares. You are in a dark place of solitude and meet the leader of these mentalist horrors called Vithraks. Their leader attempts to communicate with you - and you ask him to speak Aedyrian. Surely you should fear for your life at this very moment. Then I saw one of the reply lines were: "Your Aedyrian could need some work". I was literally laughing out loud seeing this. You face a monstrous creature that puts illithids to shame - which thankfully for you want to communicate. And you have the option to criticize his linguistic skills lmao :D Thanks Obsidian. This line really made my day. Sorry if this post is kinda bloggy or whatever but I just wanted to commend the writer that put this in there. Such subtle yet genius humor.

The description says that this weapon causes a blast effect. I'm wondering if penetrating blast talent works with the blast effect from spirit lance? Any other talents working with it? Im curious because someone stated that "minor blights" benefits from the blast talents. So I figured maybe the blast talent also works with spirit lance?

Thanks for clearing that up ^^ Its been bothering me because I thought it had some special property.

wow! How long did that take? Here - take my like

I thought foe was a synonym for enemy? But I see a lot of spells which has "Foe aoe". There are other abilities and spell descriptions that has "Foe" in it as well. Yet "foe" word does not have any description to it. Just wondering what exactly the game considers foe to be? Does the game simply mean "enemy"? Or is it something else? English isnt my native language maybe I'm missing something or overthinking it

10 or 20 int isnt that much of a difference unless you are using 2 handed or slow ranged weapons? With 20 damage, 20 might up from 10 is only +2 damage?

Ohh! Had to like your post. With the change in position from cipher<->wizard my list is exactly the same if you rank them in fun.

Because taking the time to cast those 873 buffs is not everyone's cup of tea. I'd be more inclined to play such a character if buffs weren't auto-dispelled after every fight. I haven't voted in the poll for now because 1) I don't usually stick to a single class and 2) there's a few I haven't tried yet. I tend to play melee characters more than other types, although not exclusively. In most fights you don't need buffs, or just 1-2 if they are moderately hard. The cast-times are not problematic. It takes less than 5 seconds to cast (at max) the 5 best buffs. A fighter / barb / monk will always be good. A melee wizard can rival them in unbuffed strength with the right talents and gear. But in a very hard fight - the fighter / barb / monk will be kinda static in strength - while a superbuffed wizard (about 4-5 seconds max to buff, no more time than what it takes to position your party) will outperform them. Buff list ... can be achieved in 5 seconds, like I said, no more than whats needed to position at the start of the fight. The whole idea is - you are strong w/o buffs, but godly when it matters most.

Wait, you made a spellsword? Could you message me the build? I would be very interested.

Wizard. Because why play a fighter and kill stuff... ... when you can play a Wizard with 873 buffs that transcends you to godhood and cleave people to pieces with your greatsword instead.

My melee wizard is at 60 deflection /w the +20 deflect buff and the +5 deflection talent... oh and with a +5 deflection item. Not sure what further ways you can buff deflection *sigh*. I want to solo adra Dragon with my melee wizards. Broken dreams commencing?

I don't mind the presence of humor in RPGs, but I prefer darker RPGs and too much humor and it ruins them imo.

Unless Obsidian goes under due to other projects at least one sequel/expansion is pretty much guaranteed. The real question is how much of this audience they can keep. I thought the general concensus from the backers was positive?

Please Obsidian I'm using Sanguine but don't like the red color. Same goes for a lot of other items, I change the colors on my character but it doesent affect the armor itself. Could you add the option (toggle) to let your character's colors also affect the armor you wear and not only the undergarments? Is it something hard to implement? I don't know much about game design so I don't know if this would be a very time consuming task or not.

Can someone boil the question of sales down to "Success or not a success"? I just want to know if Obsidian managed to make a good profit. Because I really want more games like this!

My melee wizard is using a -50% recovery sanguine plate, and I dont notice a big decrease in attack speed. However I make frequent use of alacrity buff which gives 1.5x attack speed, so I'm guessing alacrity simply nullifies the recovery penalty for me.

Thanks It worked! I was scared to death that changing my portrait would bring the Godhammer on it for the rest of my game.

It is excellent if you are playing a melee wizard. My melee wizard has +2DR from a quest and sanguine mail using iron skin and kicking ass with her estoc an wizard buff skills. However, my character is the one that is keeping the party back from exploring if she takes random damage. Field triage is invaluable for this build at least. Also for low hp classes in general if you feel a fight is safe but then take damage from spells or an archer, you might have to go rest - with only ONE character being in danger. I usually go field triage on 2 of my supporting characters for this reason.

I want to replace my portrait. I figured the way to do this, would be to add the new one - but name it exactly the same as the current one - but override it. Do you know if this works? I'm currently too afraid to replace my character's portrait in fear of having a big red question mark as the new portrait permanently. Note that I know the next patch will add the ability to change portrait, but I'm wondering about right now and how to go about it. Thanks for any help!

Do not make me laugh. You can roleplay all you want, but within the context of the world, it makes no sense to do so. The earliest part one starts to roleplay is childhood. Like when a girl plays mother with her dolls or a boy and his friend is playing police and robber. Are you saying they are not having fun because the context of the real world does not interact with them roleplaying?

Good luck soloing the 2 skuldr kings at temple of Eothas at lvl3-4 gg

It's hard for most people the first time they play it. But then they are applying that knowledge to subsequent playthroughs to complain "Its easy". When what they mean is "Its easy.... now that I know all the encounters and game mechanics". The game IS hard the first time. The problem is that the game will be easier the more knowledge of the game you learn. To prove my point. Quote this and answer me if you think the game is too easy: The first time you went to the temple of Eothas on hard difficulty, with only 3-4 party members - did you easily defeat all the shades? And more importantly, did you kill the 2 skuldr kings at the exit and their army of goons easily? Did you even make it on the first attempt? The difficulty of the game is imo, hard when you dont know the game and easy when you know it. But everyone who claims they beat the game easily with few reloads or deaths on their first playthrough on hard + is lying.

Loving the pale elf wizard. Can you post the appropriate version so i can use it myself? Unfortunately I can not remember the particular seach I did for that one Spent many hours looking for what I wanted. Try: Fantasy wizard female dark - or a combination, and search google for images, good luck!

Are you forced to find something with retaliation or drain and then further enchant it? I'm just wondering if its possible to enchant this normally somehow, or if you need to find gear with it and then improve whatever else you want on it. I'd really like to create custom gear from its base pieces, but not sure if its possible :S
