Yeah that dragon is hard... and whats worse - you can't leave until you kill it I went there too early and didn't know this, by the time I found out loads of autosaves had been overwritten and I had to go back to save from two hours before. I found it best to use Arcane Dampner on it to bring down it's buffs. I'm disappointed with the DLC, it seems to require min-maxed characters that are designed to exploit game mechanics or require a chanter to spam skeletons for 40 minutes. This content isn't for people who RP or who don't min-max, it's for people who have the time on their hands to spend a whole day on one fight or for people who want to test out builds. Personally I don't. They should have given it away to all the arch-mages on this board... most of the DLC I will never see as it is too hard. Yeah I could start a game on veteran but then a lot is too easy, plus it's another 60+ hours of playing just to get to the DLC

This is super annoying... but at least I'm not the only one. I find toggling stealth on and then off again fixes the problem

I find the game on PotD quite hard enough but I don't min-max and build partys around role-playing... if you want a real challenge try the DLC. If it is still too hard try not min-maxing. I really don't want the game any harder. veteran is too easy - potd just about ok - except the DLC which is just insane and not very fun. I remember playing BG and BG2 / IWD etc and never found them as hard as POE is on PotD. The fire dragon with Carsomyr was a piece of piss compared to the adra dragon. the alpine dragon or the two with llengrath are harder still.

I have me (Fighter 2h sword), palagina, aloth, xoti, maia. My big problem is I don't have any way of causing confusion... aloth doesn't have that spell and I don't have anyone who can charm either. Its my 2nd time on PotD in deadfire (upscaled) and I find it too tough - I don't min-max, maybe that would help? I might try and play potd with upscaling off a few times until I get used to it. Towards the end of the game the fights are way too tough! I just thought I would go kill nemnok - he wasnt too hard on veteran, but at level 19 on potd its bloody crazy. There are about 30 people with him that surround me and kill me in minutes. What makes it worse is seeing people solo him on youtube

My party is level 19 (potd upscalling all) and just landed for the first time on the island proteced by the plant god. The two massive boars are really tough and togethr with all the other animals and druids are too hard. Anyone got any tips on how to beat them?

This looks fun but not sure if I will try it. At first I wanted 6 but now I'm used to 5! Still at least you could have exactly the same party as in PoE1 with this mod! That is cool!

Hi Bmac or whoever else an help me. I'm able to parse the aiscripts now and can list them and display them in my app (react based electon app) - the conditions and actions I'm able to match to their stringtable translations and can output what they are but now alongside the text labels I'd like to display the icons associated with those abilities - like barbaric rage, flames of devotions etc. Are the images that represent the abilities used in the AI editor also easy to read/parse in the game data? Is there a dump of them that modders can use?

I'd be happy for news to disappear completely

If you have a druid, is it worth getting the wildstrike abilities? I mean it only applies when shifted, which doesn't last long. I picked wildstrike frost at level 3 and just attacked Governor Clario for a laugh just to see what the wildstrike did (didn't know he was a chanter!) - after attacking him three times whilst shifted only one attack got frost damage and that was for 1 point of damage. That seems pretty crap to spend an ability point on

Spells selection choice like in PoE1 - spells aren't abilities - dump grimoires

Without being some kind of chanter multiclass??? Every video I see of the fights involved a chanter of some sort using their infinite power supply that other classes don't have. I just found one with Dorudugan... Again as chanter with endless skeletons. I'd like to see a solo ranger or barbarian take him down. He wiped out my entire party with a huge explosion. But a chanter can solo it... All be it from range I er 30 minutes

I can't see any anchor on the island

Is there a fixed location for each OS?

I tried an illustionist with a trickster. The wael wand you can get right after get your boat working, it's great. I really liked playing him but he wsn't the main PC. I chose to multi class as there are barely any good top power level illusion spells

Yes, having to choose a spell sucks. Obsidian may as well remove most if them as they are situational or specialised that they will rarely ever get picked

Oh no.... I must have sold it somewhere. Is there no where else

I'm using the two handed sword forged from two blades in PE1. What is the better upgrade?

Where do you get the boatbelly eel for iron stomach from?

I can't bring myself to kill the pets but being able to make my own weapons would be cool!

On lots of YT videos I often see people casting loads of spells/abilities right at the beginning of combat. At first I thought they were queuing actions but when I watch the videos they unpause and cast something else. Is this some kind of exploit??? Do all these spells get cast instantly? I know that Disciplined Barrage seems to activate instantly if you are paused at the beginning of combat and select it.

No one should leave if you are in the middle of an ocean, they should just wait until you make land, or pass close to another ship

Since I just installed the latest DLC I often find my party (with hand-to-hand weapons equiped) have trouble getting to a target. Even against single targets where we can surround him they will all group together in a bunch on one side even though they is space all around the target. Some of the party have weapons without reach and they still sand behind the frontliners not attacking. I have to manually move them to a new location behind the target. Has anyone else experienced this? I have never seen this happen before.

ranger/wizard

I have cleared out the docks but on top of the ramparts when I ring the bell nothing happens. Is this a bug?

I played cards priest of breath and had great fun... He was wearing berath's cloak and using berath's sails for most of the game. I wish we could pick gaun like xoti
