Please make a non-kith companion. Doesn't have to be a xaurip chanter. I would also be pleased with a delemgan druid. Or hey, why not a wicht barbarian?

What does that mean?

Yep, they explicitly excluded it now. I am sorry, I feel that I caused this. If you REALLY wanted this, you'd need to talk to a dev first, best address would be Aarik D But you must be aware, that you will most likely be not recognizable AT ALL as a Death Godlike I don't know why. They could do a Death Godlike where only the eyes are covered - like sunglasses basically (I mean the size of the area, not the looks). If your face is distinctive enough it wouldn't be impossible to recognize you. Think about Batman's mask. It's quite laughable that nobody regognizes him. Not as laughable as Clark/Superman, but laughable nonetheless. Why do all the godlike faces have to be covered completely? It's not against the lore to only cover their eyes as far as I remember.

Only if they cut them down to 50% endurance.

No idea - I don't even know if OBS would say yes to placing a backer inn on that Black Isle. Ok, my questions got answered - and it turned out I wasn't that confused after all. Good to know. All questions but one though: What's the name of the pirate ship supposed to be? I mean now it has to be something with "Black", doesn't it? Wait... if you guys didn't think the Black Curl was funny, how about Black Bead? It's a reference to two "piraty" things in one name. Wowsa...

Haha - that would be great. Imagine Predator's Sense + Merciless + Vicious + then Takedown + Brutal Takedown and add something like Tidefall. Go home rogue... just... go...

They already stopped. *doing angry crowd audio*

Awesome, thanks!

Right. I like a petless ranger IF he/she gets other talents/abilites to make up for the loss of the permanent companion and its abilites.

Oh, good idea. Why didn't I ask that when the stream was running? Stupid me... But wait... that idea is totally reasonable, not crazy. Off with you!

Sure! Citzal's Spirit Lance + Torment's Reach! M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-multi-crush! Well... maybe that will not work. But things like Turning Wheel + Lightning Strikes + Jolting Touch might still work. They do in PoE1.

I'm a bit confused by all the black islands and bastards and ships and stuff. Can you guys tell me if I'm right? Just so i'm sure I understood it all correctly: - We will be able to pledge a small amount of mony in exchange for a pirate badge (Black Island Bastards?) on the fig campain (has yet to be put up)? This has nothing to do with the pirate crew(?) - We (as forum community) will get an awesome Black Isle "for free" (yeeha!) and can give some loose (albeit supervaluable) input to the dev team. Right? - There will also be a pirate crew named "Black Isle Bastards" which can totally chill on the Black Isle or something like that - or not - yet to decide. But wait - where does this crew come from? Has sombody pledged? Fluffle? I totally missed that. - It's possible that somebody with a backer inn will chime in and place his inn on the black isle...? Sorry, I'm old... Ok, that's for my confusion. Now to something completely different: If there's a pirate ship, what's the name supposed to be? The Black Curl?

I have a lore question about this. Are bastards treated the same way in Eora as we think they are treated? Are they treated differently in different places of Eora? Does "Bastard" actually have the same historical meaning in the game as in our world? Has the actual term "Bastard" been established in the game world so far? Good questions. I honestly have no idea. But it would explain why they called themselves bastards - regardless on how bastards are perceived on Eora. Because few people would name themselves bastards for no good reason, right?

Right. But to be fair: Lagufaeth in high numbers with Broodmothers will always be tricky. Damned Cleansing Flame. Especially if you have no priest. There's a nice trick though and its name is Aila Braccia.

The bastards are actually... bastards... of noble families and such. At least that's their history.

You have to put the pyramids into the blight devices in the center of all those rooms in which blights were in. A blight in the center of each apparatus will appear. After that you can open the door.

Path of the Hardened? If hard is too easy PotD shouldn't be too difficult for you. The early game is significantly harder, but once you reach Defiance Bay it's all too easy again.

Give 2 lore to anybody with decent INT and you don't need that, too. I like Steadfast on paladins with shields and Scion of Flame - if I don't have such a paladin I always put it in the stash.

Such paladin's dps potential via FoD can be sufficient if you have a party which ends encounters quickly (one the barb has HoF most encounters will end very quickly ). With +20 ACC and a lot of lashes your 2 full attacks do great damage and then your autoattacks do some more. Especially against casters and other soft targets such paladin can be nice because usally it's no problem for him to rush in alone and reach the backline and not go down while doing this. Then he will be able to take out two casters quickly and then just distract the enemy frontline. Since he doen't need any afflictions or whatever to do 2 devastating attacks it's very easy to manage. I'd say his dps is comparable to a fighter's in short fights. And then he can add support. When enemies get tougher you will see a drop in dps because they can eat more hits before they die and your FoD damage can't keep uo with that. But then you will have Sacred Immolation and it's all good again. The barb's tanking will get better and better. While he's not supertanker no.1 at low levels he will be very good once he gets his special talents, items and abilites which define him. Glad that he's already doing well enough. Some players don't have patience.

But you don't. I mean there's a reason for quicksave and quickload. If you get crushed by enemies then nothing stops you from reloading and trying a different approach. And on normal and hard WM is not more difficult than the main game. You have to have the appropriate level though. Maybe yours was too low. Ever tried to beat Raedric or the Skaen temple in Dyrford with a underleveled party? Even worse than WM I'd say. Same with Caed Nua when you first enter it with a party which level is too low. One or two levels may totally change your perception of the WM encounters. Who knows?

You could have provide a suggestion on how he could play better other than resort to said sarcasm right? But i agree with you .. i hate that "tank and spam" it makes game boring. I did! See below my initial post where I made a suggestion how to overcome those problems. My sarcasm was triggered by the angry ranting I have to admint. It sounded a bit like "I deserve better than this!". No offense though. Most likely this was only my impression. Also depends in which mood the reader is, too. I think I was very tired... I believe his problems came from Lagufaeths mostly which indeed can be a pain in the back. But it's also rewarding if you can beat them without too much fuzz. You just have to adapt.

Supernice. Would be awesome if we could merge the Black Isle, the Black Isle Bastards and other things into a nice and unforgettable place/event. Would be icing on the cake.

I contacted a backer with an inn. It's totally up to him if he wants this or not. But I guessed it doesn't hurt to ask. It would be to my liking if the Black Isle Bastars would indeed be "real" bastards: founding members were illegitimate sons and daughters of ducs and other high ranked individuals who didn't achnowledged their children, but made sure they were well fed and educated properly (and became officers, priests, merchants, whatever). Nowadays they recruit all kinds of people - the only requitement is that you are truely a... well... bastard. Of course I don't insist on this - just an idea to explain the name. What they do nowadays I don't really care: adventuring, freebooting, running an inn, planning a coup d'état - or maybe all of that.

By the way: who's looking forward to playing a Priest of Skaen/Assassin in PoE2:Deadfire? :dance:
