[Trials of Durance]

I believe the last parts of Durance's quest can't happen until you do the trials of the gods in Twin Elms. Or at least that was my experience.

[Bug: Velune reward from Vithrack isn't a real item]

Doesn't he give you an item called "Bag of Velune".

[Has anyone tried 6 rangers?]

That's a whole lot of bears. I approve.

[Random interesting or fun things in the game-Spoilers]

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."

[Champion Rating, No Invite to Hearings]

That does suck. But thats actually true to life in a way too. Sometimes we have to compromise in order to advance our own goals.

[Deer shapeshift without antlers (for females)?]

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.

[Champion Rating, No Invite to Hearings]

Are you sure you're far enough in the main quest to get the invite? It's not just based upon reputation but where you are in the story.

[How to dispel domination?]

If enemy casters are the issue you can use Aloth's Thrust of Tattered Veils as an opener too. Don't let them get that mass dominate off.

[The rendered environments and load times...]

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.

[Can't get over how good POE is & why Bioware abandoned this style of gameplay.]

Talking about Twilight is the new version of Godwin's Law. Nothing more to see here.

[POE and D&D v 5]

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.

[Bug: Hiravias can cast too many 1st level spells.]

I got the same bug. Hiravias can cast 27 1st level spells at level 10. I've never even had him in my party until I went to do his quest chain.

[Record Keeper always starts Eder quest conversation]

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.

[Stag Carnage]

I thought this thread was about killing every deer I see in the game world.....

[Am I the only one that just stopped playing?]

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.

[Reviving Exhortation - Who thought of this?]

50/10 would be just fine. I can't help but roleplay the talents use as "I enjoyed watching you suck and die so much that I brought you back to see it again."

[Reviving Exhortation - Who thought of this?]

The problem with that talent is that it should use percentages but instead uses flat numbers. It would be more worthwile if it restored 80% and then dropped you by 50%. As it is, barely any character can survive the -163.5 endurance hit and there is no character crucial enough to battle to bring back for 16 seconds just to have them faceplant again.

[RPGCodex Review #1 - Hŵrpa Dwrp]

That point being when your companions start leaving because you refuse to go to Nashkel.

[Rest bonus from completed keep should be waaaaay better]

The bonuses applied from Brighthollow are indeed underwhelming. They should at least be buffed up to whelming.

[Multiplayer]

If my PnP days are any indication a MP session would go somewhat like this:

 

Me: Ok, we're at the door to the next room, what's everyone doing?

Fighter: *passed out drunk*

Wizard:  *got picked up by his mom early*

Cleric:    *out picking up pizzas*

Barb:     *drawing **** on fighter with a magic marker*

Rogue:   I'm ready

Me:        Ok then

 

How this translates to a CRPG:

 

Me: Ok, we're at the door to the next room, everyone ready?

Figher : AFK

Wizard: AFK

Cleric:   AFK

Barb:    AFK

Rogue:  RDY

[Can't get over how good POE is & why Bioware abandoned this style of gameplay.]

I've been saying it for years but: fancy graphics and 3D does not make up for lackluster gameplay. I won't even get started on how EA is ruining gaming. Ok, I'll get started a little. ****ing cash shops.

[Money]

Maybe they can add a room to the stronghold so I can swim around in all my cp's like Scrooge McDuck.

[Just discovered something with armor, duh!]

It means Scale Armor only has a DR of 5 against piercing attacks. Since crush isn't listed it has a DR of 7 vs it.

[How do you guys bring yourself to read?]

I have an iPhone so the autocorrect dictionary is compiled from every iPhone users habits. Trust me, I have never used the word "moroni" before in my life but it still corrects "mornign" to that.

[Trial of Iron is missing core functionality (deleting your save if you quit)]

 

But.... if quitting deleted your save, how would you ever quit? 

 

Sorry. I typed up a lot of useless convoluted stuff just now and then I realised: in Trial of Iron the quit button should be replaced by a Save and Quit button (which is what the Save button itself does, so basically get rid of the quit button.)

 

 

That's a much better suggestion, but I have concerns about reloading to try conversations different ways. Although I suppose if you're using Trial of Iron then you've probably played through the game already.
