In D:OS, only partially. Some crafting can only be done at specific places, some everywhere. Esp. improving gear, which comes closest to PoE's enchanting, can be done anywhere. Have an Essence of Flame and a Tormented Soul? Put it on your axe to make it better and hotter. D:OS's alchemy is completely done in that horrible, horrible inventory screen of theirs.Now, you can't actually craft weapons or armour in PoE, only improve them in rather arcane ways which sound awfully witchcrafty to me. (Or how am I supposed to imagine using some flowers, a sapphire, and a Vithrack brain* to make my sword sharper?). In this, it's much closer to D:OS's enchantment system than their crafting stuff. The major difference is in food - in D:OS you need a cooking station (can't roast your steak just on any of the many fires around or conjured up), in PoE you don't. I just fail to see how that makes it that much better. * Actual recipe may differ, don't remember. I thought I had to go to an anvil I'd I wanted to make a weapon or enchant but it's been a bit since I played it. Guess I can just fire it up again and check real quick though lol

Do you mean having to go to a specific place to craft is a relic? This is how it is in DO:S And I think it works out really well although at the same time the loading screens were much faster.

I agree about what he says about poe feats and such. I like it, but don't LOVE it yet.

Well, I can't believe either one of you are saying that lol. I personally like dao combat better but this isn't bad either. Glad you like it!

Same. With my style of play I need his heals but most of the time he just sits there and sits things. I will turn on his aura at the beginning of battle just because it's an easy click

I won't say whether this game is great or not. It's fun for me and that is all I really care about but I did want to point out something that you said. With most of those games the reviews are over time which also means there is more time to correct mistakes and bring out expansions for the late comers to give better reviews.

Lol, you steam rolled it even easier tdid i did then. I was doing the fight thinking, "if I wasnt leveled so much this might actually be tricky." I was lvl 6 or 7

Lol, yeah that was pretty much my approach. I didn't know about the journal so that should make it easier next play through

I didn't really consider it a lie. He asked me to go, I told him he wasn't going to tell me what to do. Me ending up there had nothing to do with him asking me. In fact I actually didn't end up making it there until I had already cleared all maps down to and a few past defiance bay.

about part about that place is you can't rest after the spirits of you went in with out being topped off. Then you have to run through a bunch of load screens to get to an inn

I got some option to hear him out but since I had already seen what he did to his wife I didn't care what he had to say, (though I an still curious) and I killed him. My next play through I'll see what he did to his wife, get upset and kill him again and STILL not know what that option does lol.

I'd personally keep GM. I liked her story better than kana and I believe she even gives a few dialogue options. That said I'm playing a chanter ATM so having 2 chanters was just.... Non sense Imo lol

Someone should introduce the guillotine in the dungeon. "Well, no one has come for you bub, your times come.... Oh and I still want your(insert name of reward for killing said person)!

I personally think the stealth mechanic is fine but the detection needs to be worked on. The mobs just don't detect anyone. If you sneak through a map, even if you only have 1 point in it, then you can begin all the battles with the first shot. I have 1 character that specializes in it so I can steal but no one else.

I knew I should have just killed Nyrid... Oh well, does anyone know if your reputation or starts such as stoic, benevolent and the like change if you decide to kill them instead?

I think I nice middle ground might be to have random chance at a fight when you travel from map to map, say a 25 or 30 percent chance. I know there would be a couple of things that need ironing out like what about those people who are in a hurting position, out of camping kits and just trying to get to an inn. If they got in a fight they'd lose easily and there's no retreat option unless you give another option to run from the fight before engaging or something. I'm sure someone smart than me can figure it out.

That worked, guess it was just some bug, thanks.

I sorta agree. It seems even if you killed everything in a forest that there would eventually be other animals or humans that made it their home. For me it does break a bit of that immersion. Although at the same time I can't stand not getting some sort of xp for killing things. I can understand to a point not wanting to let people grind to level up so the game is paced across the entire thing. But if I buy the game let me grind if I want to. If anything grinding is a testament to the combat.

I never had to reload them on normal but I did have at least 3 people knocked unconscious in all the fights. If I didn't then I probably would have reloaded lol. I should say I was around level... 5 or 6. The rewards I find satisfying along with the difficulty.

I recently bought Scath Gwennek from one of the traveling venders and it said that Winter Wind was spell bound to the shield. I thought that was wonderful and would go well with my tank. I equipped him with the shield went off to tank something and I don't see anywhere to cast the spell. There are no icons on my UI that give me that option. Anyone know where my problem is here?

I just wanted to make a note on this part. Maybe it's because I'm not the greatest gamer in the world or because I use the npcs that have background but I'm not sure how you go about min/maxing them. The only stats you can do anything with during leveling are ones that don't directly affect combat. so if you use the pre-made npcs you're going to have 1 hit wonders in the back. They get hit once and you wonder what happened to them.

Thanks a lot Lady! That was driving me crazy lol.

I've had a couple of people seeking employment and I can't find them. I figured some of them were because I wasn't there when I got the message and they left or something but I just received one saying the same thing and looked all over for them. I can't find them to save my life. Anyone know where I'm supposed to find these people?

My load times are probably about 10 seconds or so too. I think the 10 sec really wouldn't be so bad but we or at least myself an so used to insta load times that it seems am eternity. I just alt tab out for a bit. I'll try making sure it's up to date and defragging to see if that makes a difference.

You can't? I could have sworn it worked when my cipher was dominated but maybe the domination just happened to end the same time the spell was cast. I want really paying attention, just noticed she was no longer dominated.
