I don't know if they are everywhere, but they are definitely in your head. You can mock anybody in every way you like and I couldn't care less. Just be prepared to be called a douche, a drunk - or even get arrested... depends how far you take it. Doesn't change the fact that ranting about and mocking former co-workers in an internet forum will not earn you the most respectable reputation. If you don't care although you depend on your reputation as a self employed writer then all power to you and your inner ratfink.

Blade of the Endless Paths has no cone (or didn't have last time I used it). That's Whipers of the Endless Paths. You have to click on an enemy standing in the cone or else it won't register the attack. It doesn't work like other AoE cone attacks that you can target on the ground as well. Clicking on any part of the enemies' selection circles (scratching them slightly with the mouse pointer) is enough.

Yaaaawn... Nazis, yeah. Right. Vegetarians? Hitler was vegetarian! Thus all vegetarians are evil. Nothing good or even substancial ever came from an unnecessary Nazi comparison. And I don't think there are necessary ones... People in Swinger Clubs also don't complain about their "colleagues" in public. So Nazis = Veggy-Swingers I guess. It's one thing to complain (in public) about being treated poorly. I could sympathize with that. But it's another thing to mock and attack former colleagues who take some time off after a really exhausting (and successful) project. In a notorious (public) internet forum! While the same colleagues you mock never said anything bad about you and even try to answer to your wild accusations in a sensible way (see Eric Fenstermaker). Alcohol and hurt feelings is the most generous explanation. Another would be a bad character. I'll stay with alcohol because I don't always want to assume the worst.

It may be that enemies react to your evasion (and try to go somewhere else because you are about to leave anyway) before you are actually really gone. I suspect the decision to move and the disengagement check are done after calling the evasion action but before the ranger is really gone - which might lead to such an effect from time to time. Or in other words: the AI's decision-making is too fast.

Afaik there are eight unique great swords in Deadfire (besides the ones the wiki shows there's Twin Eels from BoW and Karöboru - or something like that - that got added to the Wahaki island recently). And maybe there's even an additional GS in SSS that I forgot about. That, plus Firebrand and the Faith Attuned Great Sword from Berathian Priests. Plenty of options for one single paladin. Also your picture of a Paladin is not the picture PoE and Deadfire are painting.

Splintered reef question
Boeroer replied to Ogi79's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
No, it's not. For your evil playthrough pick a Bleak Walker. That's a Paladin. I never tried to bring Ydwin to Splintered Reef. Any cool reactions from her or the environment? -
Usually PL adds damage. In case of "Thrice She was Wronged" it may add more bolts instead, no idea. But PL adds base damage (increases the dmg roll). You can't see it in the combat log as listed dmg bonus. The only thing you see ist your dmg roll is probably higher. It should also be shown in the tooltip of the ability itself - but since you can't use Spellshaping and at the same time look at the Tooltip there is no way to tell how the damage got influenced other than monitoring the dmg rolls. If it rolls higher numbers as it should you know that PL is adding dmg. You can test if PL adds damage to a spell with other PL bonuses as well. Use a Stone of Power and compare the dmg tooltip of your spell before and after.

My "problem" with boarding fights is: - you start unstealthed and you have to pause manually - your squishiest party member will get focused-fired by guns as soon as combat starts That's annoying. Sure, I can give him a large shield with modal and the problem is solved. Or I skip that and bombard the enemy ship out of the water with one salvo of five double bronzers and spare me one more loading screen.

Further lessons: - use frighting abilites - use terrifying abilites Which might turn the Silent 5 into the Useless 5. I don't recall their resistances/immunites though. Honestly I never noticed them casting Disintegration because usually I bombard the enemy with interrupts and CC like crazy no matter who it is. Just to be sure. Dps is overrated... Give me a guy with AoE Bewildering Blows (e.g. Clear Out) and another one with AoE Body Blows (e.g. Heart of Fury) and most CC options will land reliably.

No, only the last post of him. At least there Verde is talking about Diplomacy. Before that there may have been confusion about those two things as well, but Resolve was mentioned more than once. But we also mentioned PoE 1 where Resolve was useful as a dialogue stat. There are also RES checks in Deadfire (but a lot less than in PoE.) By the way you can also save Kali with a lot of Intimidation (scare him away) or simply by not killing him during the fight (will turn friendly after Nemnok is dead and the rest of the crowd is dead, too).

Thanks! By the way: the topic title could be in need of an update as well now.
