The Problem With Turn-Based: Not in POE
Boeroer replied to Stardusk78's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I guess because you can reload. Difficult to do during a tabletop RPG.

No 'Retrain' console command ?
Boeroer replied to nouser's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't think there is. At least I don't know it.

Picking a mercenary, Brute vs Swash damage
Deathblows simply adds its 50% additive dmg bonus to Sneak Attack's (which scales with Power Level).

Thoughts About Minimum Attributes in Character Creation
Boeroer replied to Yosharian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Dropping stats below 10 - let's say from 10 to 5 - has actually more impact in Deadfire than dropping them from 15 to 10 (in some/most cases). It's both 5 points, but as soon as you drop below 10 and create actual maluses they will go through double inversion which means the actual malus is a lot higher. MIG is a good example. DEX, too.

5.0 what builds still work for the watcher/companions/sidekicks in turn based mode
Ah, sure. Those will stack.

Boeroer replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Haha right. :oops: Oh man... Like those trick questions in school a looong time ago. 😄 Common mistake I guess when you just use the numbers without noticing that the one is kilometers and the other one is meters. At least I added 4 meters and not 2. So 40,000,012.57 meters it is.

Gilded Enmity shouldn't stack with Zealous Endurance. Is that different in TB mode?

"Overseeing" effects not displayed -- do they work?
Boeroer replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Last time I checked Aloth's Amor with mortars' AoE it did increase it. But different from PoE it's not an increase in radius (!) but actual area (area = radius * radius * Pi). Meaning it can be a bit difficult to see - especially if you already have good AoE bonuses (through INT for example). Let's assume you have a base radius of 2.5 meters then your actual area is 2.5*2.5*3.144=19.65 m². Add 15% to that and you have 22.6 m². Which translates to a radius of sqroot(22.6/3.144) = 2.68. So the radius is only 0.18 meters bigger. And that's without any other AoE bonus which will make it even harder to see. Because the bigger the circle already is the less visible the radius increase will be. So: I guess it still works but you just expected a bigger "visual" increase. But I can't say for sure since I didn't test lately.

reccomended companions on each dlc quests?
Boeroer replied to nouser's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I just kept Xoti and used Vatnir as Rogue/Priest with focus on his spiritual Battle Axes whose lashes and raw dmg Bleeding Cuts work superbly with the Rogue's dmg bonuses, making him a very good melee dmg dealer with spells. Also in certain parts of BoW you will have totally different "biomes" like Ukaizo, the Bridge (lots of burn resistance) and "Inquisition-place".

[CLASS BUILD] The Cauterizer
Yes, Executioner's Hood is very nice. Other alternatives are the Maegfolc Skull or Tempered Helm (its defensive buffs are awesome and it looks good with Sanguine Plate).

[Speed Run] Contemplative 44 sec Solo Dorugudan
It's called "Shroud of the Phantasm" by the way. Bleeding Cuts (Battle Axe DoT) does use the dmg you deal post PEN/AR calculation afaik. So your raw DoT is a lot lower if you underpenetrate with the Battle Axe. So not really ignoring the target's AR? Still fast enough though.

It has a German or "Germanic" minority that once was a majority (maybe even until the 1990s, but surely around 1900). Of course they were Romanians in terms of nationality and citizenship. But they identified themselves as Germans when it comes to their culture. They spoke German, build houses that look like the ones we build in Germany and so on. The German name of Transylvania is "Siebenbürgen". All the cities there have an original German name. Sibiu was originally Hermannstadt, Brasov was Kronstadt, Kluj was Klausenburg, Sigisoara was Schäßburg and so on. Most of them called/call themselves "Siebenbürger Sachsen" (Saxons) but there also were other groups like "Banater Schwaben" (Swabians) and such. Even though nowadays most of them left the country you can still meet quite a lot of Romanians in Siebenbürgen who speak German. Of course rulership changed a lot. KuK was there until 1918 believe (KuK was what you now would call Austria and Hungary) and so on. I think it's quite interesting that you can travel to Romania as a German or Austrian an suddenly feel like you are driving through your hometown but like 100 years ago. All those nicely conserved medieval buildings... Other regions of Romania are also very beautiful of course. Especially the rural ones. I've been to the Maramures region and its landscape and those beautiful little farms and villages are awesome. By the way we didn't learn anything about Romania during 13 years of school.

Patch 5.0 introduced a stunningly annoying new bug, oh dear
Boeroer replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Not necessarily. They said they will be doing hotfixes and removing game breaking bugs. Although you seem to be the only one who experiences this weird thing. At least I didn't see it in the technical support forum so far and also didn't see it myself. Maybe it's just some hickup with your current playthrough? Or does this persist when starting a new one?

Actually it's very beautiful - with a rich German history, awesome landscapes and plenty of medieval architecture.

What about BBCode mode? It's so hard to deal with quotes and other tags with the current editor. Posts with a bit more sophisticated formatting (see char builds for example) are a pain right now without it. And can I now edit older posts? You know it's kind of frustrating that I can't edit the Deadfire Build List anymore.
