There's a lot of dialgoue from the companions that can be missed if they're not in your party. For instance, taking Aloth to the bottom of Ced Nua yields this: "Huh....giant feet. Not sure what I was expecting but I should have known."
So all female druids shapeshift into rare antlered does? Although I guess if all deer in the world have fangs like that deer hat has then these aren't our world's deer.
Somethig that would factor into loot that I rarely see mentioned is the fact that you engaged and killed these enemies in combat. Equipment breaks. How much usable gear can you reasonably expect to recover when you just burned your foes to death with a fireball or disolved them with a cloud of acid? Even just tanking and spanking would reduce the amount of recoverable gear.
I have to agree with the common sentiments on D&D 4E and 5E. Steaming piles of oversimplified crap. D&D 3.5 remains my favorite D&D ruleset. Although I had my own house rules for AC that combined AC and DR. I was ahead of my time.
As far as changing PoE into D&D...why? It's a unique game with it's own unique ruleset. Let's not water down our already limited choices in RPGs to be more of the same old same old.
I've completed Eder's quest chain and if you go back and speak to the Record Keeper it repeats the quest conversation you have with him there, everytime you speak to the NPC. It doesn't give you the actual quest updates again, just the dialogue.
I took a small break over the weekend, but only because I moved to a new house and my computer wa packed away. I nearly died from exposure to this weird thing called sunlight.
