How do you mean use a "cipher for healing"??? What healing do they have apart for the healing effect of pain block.

You mean afflictions to upgrade the armour/shield? Go to the undercity in the gullet and just stand on the dead bodies for 5 minutes... also the wind in the final map of BoW also applies afflictions I think

Most of dev costs seem to be reinventing the wheel... I'd be happy to get a new game using the current deadfire engine as is. Just new quests etc. Obviously that takes time too but if they didn't change the engine and combat system probably not as much.

So Pathmaker didn't spark joy??? Cheese translations are not just the domain of games

Yeah, I tried it but it didn't really appeal to me, I think it was TB too though? I watched a few YT channels playing it and I didn't feel like it was my kid of game - also the brightly coloured outline around each character was distracting. Also there was an annoying bug (maybe Linux related) where each character I pressed was entered twice during character creation. So if I called my PC "Rimmer" his name would be "RRiimmeerr", I liked all the classes and options but I found the interface overwhelming. Also it didn't work well on my intel HD 520 integrated GPU... if I ever get a more powerfull laptop I shall try again.

Just in time for my retirement... hope I can afford the computer needed then to play the spiritual success to pillars of eternity. I'm hoping a games company will start a new kickstarter project creating a baldurs gate style crpg, as someone who played the original BG games when they came out I shant be playing BG3 since I don't like TB, but may watch others who play it on YT.

When is this fix coming? Two of my characters have perm slog zoneWhen is this fix coming? Two of my characters have perm slog zone

Can anyone help. I'm playing a priest and want the boots. Also how do I find locations usng the wiki? It gives locations like this: 8° 4' S, 56° 56' E. but I have absolutely no idea how to find this location. I see the numbers change on the map.

I have to reduce the resolution to 1600 and turn off as much extras as possible but it is playable: 830+ hours so far

I hope it still runs on my Intel integrated 520 graphics card like PoE and Deadfire!

Most weapons are not effective against people with armour, the idea that swords can chop through plate or chain over gambeson is propagated by hollywood. If armour were so ineffective it would never have been worn. I would recommend you signup to the scholagladiatoria channel on youtube if you want to learn more about the realities of weapons and armour. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA Here are some good videos about english armour with Dr Capwell from the wallace collection https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DE+0%3A04+%2F+25%3A39+Capwell+%26+Easton%3A+A+medieval+knightly+effigy+in+Dennington%2C+Suffolk

Is it foe only? Or will it hurt my party?

I had a priest of berath using a summned great sword which comes with a corrode lash. I also had Pallagina with that FoD ability that gives nearby allies a burning lash. This actually replaced the lash on my summoned great sword so it did burn damage instead of corrode. Not sure if this is a bug or how lashes work

The companions were not as good, I miss durance and the druid. PoE1 had better weapons spread... a lot of weapon groups are almost empty of good uniques in deadfire. Also that island dlc was crap, just fighting - all though Muātu trinket isn't bad, especially if you always choose to empower him, he can really kick arse if you do that... They should have spent more time on something like the white march with a real story.

let me requote the important bits of my original post: Has nothing to do with whether difficult is subjective

First attempt at playing a monk, a lot of abilities talk about a monk's fists. Does this mean they are pointless if using weapons? Are weapons better for monks? It seems sort of stupid to try and punch a dragon.

I disagree about potd and min maxing. I never min max and have completed potd several times - but i only play with full parties, maybe you mean solo?

Yes, they were not legends but the closest thing at the time, at least as far as I was concerned. But they did make more than just xenon and speedball. Remember Z? Or The Chaos Engine? Magic Pockets?

I think the setting was the big killer... it went form a classic roleplaying world to treasure island - at first it didn't really seem like the same world. As for Chris... he is hardly a legend and absolutely not a household name. I doubt you would find any houses where he was known. When I was growing up the legends and household names were the bitmap brothers... but still not a household name. Where are these legends now??? I bought the PoE1 and 2 mainly becuase of BG, I really like them and think they are much better than BG2 - The best thing PoE did was not make classes/weapons required. BG2 pretty much required a thief if you wanted to open locks/disarm traps and if you were playing a paladin you better sure as hell have selected two-handed swords or you're going to regret it later. I really hope there is PoE3 as long as they keep RTWP otheriwse I shall probably just wait for BG3. I also think the lack of a archetypal good path also didn't help. Sawyer seems to like being evil and giving bonuses to bad dudes, just look at all the stat bonuses bad guys received in PoE1 for killing NPCs. Then there was tyranny where every one is bad, and in deadfire all the fractions are bad or neutral... at least from my perspective. I play these games to be a hero and save people, not sacrifice friends and rob people! It's for this reason I never played bad and joined the thieve's guild in BG2.

First time fighting him - I have maia in the party. After 5 minutes 10 blights turn up and overwealm my party. Everyone is level 13, is this too low for this fight? Is there any good loot or should I let them go and risk annoying maia?

I have the dead body and the quest is in my journal but Hati says nothing except "Each obsticale..." I don't get the option to tell him about the body

The PoE1 battle music was great! I wish they would have it again in PoE3, batte music in Deadifre is dull

I avoid the fight, leave the city on foot and immediately re-enter. Select gorecci street and you enter from the south, then stealth your way to the boss.
