From tumblr (translated from German since the question & answer were given in German): So basically what Achilles said.

So you'd prefer Baldur's Gate's combat (where martial classes have no active abilities) over PoE's combat? Or turning the whole thing into turn-based combat - for having one additional party member?

The guys you left at the stronghold did gain XP - just not 100% of yours. If you would have send every one of them doing adventures (alternating between them) you would have seen that they don't fall behind - it's enough XP. Did several runs where I did the "waiting" companions' quests very late in the game and shuffled the whole party several times right before the endgame and no one was even one level behind. I guess this will also be possible in Deadfire. Yeah, right?

I guessed so because the attacks that Blade Turning "turns" might not be considered as misses on your side.

You mean she will eventually be upgraded to roundhousekick?

Hey - I also altered tha skin tone! With the overpower of... THE GIMP!

I don't think so. I think that vessel is the umbrella term for constructs, animats, "undead" like Fampyrs and Guls, animated weapons, liches, wichts and so on... For example a lich is a vessel, but not an undead: Also wichts are vessels but not undead. Their bodies didn't die but were born without a soul - then infused with an animal's soul. Since even PoE's lore makes a difference between vessel (as an umbrella term) and undead (as a special type of vessel) and even between necromancy (nekros = death) and animancy (science of the essence) I think I'm not too far off.

If you want I could remove the red from her eyes...

She's labeled as living machine. I don't think that vessel equals undead. I mean she never died in the first place.

I wasn't really mocking your work. I liked the "stoned" look pretty much - for example it would be perfect for a Nalpasca. Seriously now. This new one is also good - now one could think it's just some makeup or so.

Yes. Helwalker MIG bonus is passive and thus stacks with everything while Duality is an active modal and thus doesn't stack with other actives.

But... two handed weapons do have the same speed as the heavy one handers in Deadfire, don't they? It's not a myth that two handers do perform better when they are wielded with the same speed as one handers. It's physics.

The tooltip of Paladin's Faith and Conviction says so. I assume it's left out of the beta because you play from lvl 6 to 9 and there's no way to get enough disposition points in that short phase.

How could that be your first PC's face? I made that old one myself as well. With the overpower of the Gimp!

Scion of Flame was for the Fireballs, the burning lash and the fluff.

That would be so hilarious with the Chanter's invocations...

One of my favorite scenes.

Well a first idea one can get from the immunities of fampyrs in PoE: Immunity to: Charmed, Confused, Disease, Dominated, Poison, Sickened, Unconscious If we look at the Devil of Caroc who is a "Living Machine": Immunity to: Charmed, Confused, Disease, Dominated, Poison, Sickened, Unconscious (same as Fampyr). Cannot use food, drinks, or drugs They can get healed/resurrected in the game. I think it's mostly the blood they are after since that is the main source of the essence. Since they are immune to unconscious I guess they don't sleep as well. There is Necromancy in PoE which is not the same as animancy (Necromancy = magic, Animancy = science). Concelhaut and Helig are Necromancers - I don't know if they are also "official" animancers but I guess not. Maybe they use the term "undead", but I haven't seen it in the game (or more precisely: can't remember).

Good research. If I'm not mistaken this also happens with the draining/healing of Soft Winds of Death. THe first tick is 15 in my case while the rest is a lot lower. Might be a global problem with the implementation of ticks or so?

The rewards are already known and it doesn't sound like they are in DLCs. But it could be that they will get unlocked after release (although it's kind of weird that you might not be able to get all the items when you start your first playthrough).

You mean in the weapon shop and so on?

Eh? Mary Poppins called, she wants the kids back.

Isn't that a good thing?

Funny- One question though: where's the difference between 5 ghost bears and 5 normal ones (I mean besides that you pay with Bond for the summoning)?
