Thanks for pointing that out. So you mean that it should have solved also the shaking and the flooding in ondra's issues, even if they are not clearly mentioned ? If so, I guess something went wrong during the update and I wil try to reinstall, hopefully fixing it.

Yes I have, and I cannot see the issue described in the release notes actually

Hi all, Yesterday I realized I could change the language to italian. I was so happy, the wording used in game are not really simple. After having changed the language I've noticed at least 2 bugs: Ondra's gift get flooded (it's bugged, not the tide thing). Changing back to english fixes it. Fireball hits cause a huge amount of screen shaking, that last for 2-3 seconds, and game unplayable during that time. It also affects other spells. I have read that it is caused by some values that in english are, for example, 1.35 and are translated into 1,35. Therefore the system, the comma being an invalid character for numbers, considers them like 135. Is there a way to fix this manually or should i wait for a patch? And should patching be the only way, shall I have to restart the game from scratch ? Many thanks

yes, in Windows if you set the language to english everything is fine. If you set it in italian, Ondra's gift is flooded (badly, not cause of the tide) and some spells cause extreme shaking (i.e fireball at least does) Isn't there a way to fix the "comma" value that causes the bug manually without waiting for a patch? And if a patch comes out and solves this, will it be compatible with my savegame ? Thank you

I will, but first I desperately need savage defiance, my endurance is always critical and i can't hit anyone if i am laying on the ground fainted...

Thanks all !! you gave me some many useful hints and comment that i had not thought of. I had read that one stands alone gives +20 dmg but i did not understand that also a graze of 1 dmg could become 21 dmg ! I will go for one stand alone at lvl 7 and for accurate carnage (it did not seem useful at all until Xosmi's explanation) at 9 probably. I have to check if i took some useless feat and might use the console to replace one of them actually. I did not even know that the range of carnage was INT based. I have only 10 Int, I guess i will have to find some boosting item. Is there a way to see the carnage range ? As for the rogue, I was thinking that maybe i will stick to the "official" companions. Were it only just to take advantage of their personal missions (and dialogues) , provided they all have some I hope. And if i were to use an hired companion, i still would like to have an additional tank I guess. Actually i think (i might be wrong) that a party of all tanks or so, like 4-5 fighters (one pally?) and a 1 or 2 barbs would be hard to beat.

you are a bunch of haters

why, does IE Mod remove the Engagement fight mechanics ?

Master barb did you take "greater frenzy"? That gives +2 might during frenzy that means 6% more damage. With the weapon i am using now it means roughly 1 or 2 extra damage per hit. It does not sound like something i should use a talent for, what do you think ?

yeah you are right! in fact i was struggling a little bit now at level 4, just leveled up and should be much better now with savage defiance (i generally play only during the weekends so I did not take advantage yet). I have also realized that I have to optimize the usage of my priest (and wizard). I had read the reference to Itumaak as well as you. It seems like it is clearly written that you cannot change the companion. And actually I don't think i made such big mistakes with my main char that i need to respec so I would like to avoid editing the save game, unless really needed. Especially with the companions. Don't want to risk to mess anything up. I want just to enjoy this masterpiece for the first playthrough. Maybe once finished the game i will have some fun playing with the customization and hopefully in the meantime some more powerful editor would have come out.

Hi all, I find that also the Slow speed is too fast if i want to follow what happens during the fights. I like noticing everything that happens so I am pausing all the time anyway, even when using slow speed. Is there a console command to customiza the game speed ? i.e. half of the "slow speed" ? Cheers

Thank you! Yes i understand, so barbarian would be more effective when engaging more enemies at once...the problem is his low defense, he cannot soak up much damage as a tank. But i understood i was using badly my priest and was not paying too much attention to endurance as i should. And then I just got savage defiance, that should help a lot. I do not care about achievements By the way i suggest everyone to use this command that is listed in the IE Mod (it works even without the mod installed) Open the console (enter) then use "SetZoomRange minValue maxValue" , try for example SetZoomRange 0.1 200 It allows you to zoom really close and really far with the mouse wheel and i was not happy with the default maximum zoom.

yep sure, i do not want to enter any spoiler...sorry if i kinda did it before maybe, I will try to put a spoiler tag. (EDIT: Done)

Thanks, I took Savage defiance" indeed, it seemed too useful to skip, since endurance is what i am always lacking...and I was planning to take one stand alone at lvl 7. Even though my barb is not a tank so i would not want to engage too many enemies at a time...i do not see that a real DPS talent, but more a tanky one. I do not remember what i took at lvl 1 and 3, maybe I will decide to reset my character (i do not wanto to restart, at least now) I am quite decent with computer skills, i would really love if Sagani had a bear instead of a wolf as companion...maybe i will give this a try. Do i risk to spoil my save game though ? EDIT, By the way, I have just read that even if you respecc Sagani, she will keep itumaank as companion

They have to be not in your party. eg, any companions you aren't using "sit around" in your Stronghold doing nothing, and you can use the Stronghold menus to assign them to tasks. The other tankier companion is And off-tank...well I don't know what "everyone else" defines one as, but I tend to see them as a character who is not the main-tank...eg, they can soak up dmg and be a decent tank, but may have other purposes than to just stand and engage (some kind of extra-support role or being the one you send to flank enemies your main tank has already engaged) and is not the one you tend to first send into the fray to start the fight. If that makes sense. It's not always a class-dependent thing, imo...just a party-role aspect. Thanks dude. Yes, i was not using the hired rogue, then went to the stronghold menu, but did not see any option to assign her to any mission. That's why I am asking...maybe i need some upgrade? I've only built 2 things (repaired the wall and the shelter that gives you the bounty missions). Yes..off-tank...that makes sense. Thanks again. @Archangel: do you refer to And when i said that the lowest score would apply I referred exactly to what you are saying... i.e. If everyone had 10 in Stealth, but one character had only 1, he would be the one to get spotted by the enemies and that would make all the other points spent for other characters useless...so i've decided not to invest in stealth, maybe only on one character, the trapper/unlocker. The other ones they all have around 2, I will keep it at 2 for all of them. Better than 0 anyway, and it doesn't cost many points.

Thanks for the clarification Which class is the off-tank (and what do you mean by "off-tank") I will get later on ? the first tank you refer to is the fighter Eder i guess. I am myself barbarian and making Kana the second tank does not seem a good choice. Also sending Sagani's wolf to be slaughtered all the time just to have some time at the beginning of the encounters does not seem very fair. I would need another tank actually. Related to this, what are the stronghold requirements to send the companions I am not using adventuring to gain XP ? I did not see the option yesterday when I added the rogue.

Hi LadyCrimson, you write: "9 - if you hire a higher level rogue/adventurer at the inn, you create/they join party at lvl1, then you keep hitting the level up button to make them their max available level." I have tried yesterday recruiting a rogue and i noticed that i can choose which level. My party is at level 4 and I can choose a rogue up to level 3. I did not have money for a level 3 so i took a lvl 1. But there was no "level up" available. Probably it has changed somehow ? Anyway i was thinking of not taking a "custom" character. That way i would loose any quest related to the "main" characters, wouldn't I ? I was thinking that actually maybe i would need another tank, instead of a squishy rogue. Rogue needs also much more micro management. And i have already enough to do with the wizard and the priest...

Thanks for that test and those numbers. So i guess i will save my points for something else instead of Stealth. Maybe i will give some only to durant who is also the unlocker/trapper ...so maybe i can avoid some fights and still getting some loot from chests. By the way I noticed that the wolf pet of Sagani seems to have quite a good stealth...is there a way to see its stats ?

Thanks a lot all !!! Mazeltov, i was just reading that link you posted, and that is what i was looking for, thx! Sometimes reading the description of the spells doesn't really give you a feeling of how really useful (or useless) a spell is.

Thank you Lady Crimson and Jimmious. Yes, i was referring to those two "utilities" skills , one that restores HEALTH for self (around 100/150 HP) and the other one that heals an ally (50-100 HP) . I just got Kana that comes with that already and i use it when my tank is almost dead, it just prolongs the time until my next rest a little. And wanted to know if other poeple took it themselves or not. Regarding the Barbarian skills, to make it more general, I meant: there are some Class skills that you get at certain level threshold i guess. (i.e 5, 7?, 9 ?). And i meant...if i give up one tat i would like, because there is a more interesting one at that level, will I have the chance to get it at a later level up ?

Hi all, Just started this MASTERPIECE of a game, I am level 5 now, i really like how slow the characters are in advancing (not like in Wasteland 2...) it really rewards you much more when you finally level up. Since i do not want to cheat to fix my characters, i would like to avoid spending skills on useless stuff and i have also some other doubts. They are many, so you can reply only to some points, but any advice (no spoilers please) would be appreciated : 1 - Is Stealth a viable solution for some quests ? In that case i think all the characters should have the same level otherwise the lowest one would apply. (i.e. if one character has 0 the whole group would have 0 because the group would be spotted because of him). Is it also affected by the armor worn ? If that is so, i would need to spend a lot of points there. 2 - How much Stealth is necessary to avoid some combat ? 3 - How much is the maximum points you can assign to those skills (stealth, athletics, ecc) 4 - Do you get the possibility to increase some attributes (might, dexterity, etc.) at some point? (apart from items I mean) 5 - Is greater Frenzy good for my main Barb ? I think +2 in Might would translate in only little points of dps, maybe there are some better Class specialization for the Barbarian ? Like i think i will take "savage something" that gives you roughly +100 Endurance once per fight, and then the one that gives you a bonus when you have two enemies engaged. 6 - If i don't take the latter at level 5, will I have the chance to get it later? If so, at what level ? 7 - Do chanters get new phrases only at level up ? Or are there books or items for that purpose? 8 - Could you please indicate me some (link) to the useful (and useless) spells for Wizard and priest ? 9 - I noticed that the priest i got (Durance) is quite useless, i would like to replace him with a rogue. If i don't take a rogue soon enough, when i meet him/her, he will have auto leveled-up, so maybe taking some useless feat...is it better if i take him/her asap ? If so, where do i find one ? I still need to go to Defiance Bay. 10 - What are the best way to replenish health between camps ? the skills to cure self/allies do not seem so good. Or did you invest feats there? 11 - If anyway i do some mistakes, is there some user friendly character editor ? ("IE mod" does not look so easy to use for that purpose and in fact it is not specific for that). Many thanks if you can shed some light !
