  1. I got so tired of redoing this fight I began to just take the Kolsc option - which can work from an RP standpoint (PC can be convinced) - but it bugs me that Eder goes along with this so calmly (which is one of the things I would love to see "fixed" with all the companions - that they react to your choices more - even walk out on you if they disagree strongly with your decisions altho I know a lot of folks hate this and it's unlikely to ever happen)
  2. I agree for the most part altho there may be some times when you might want to do so for RP reasons - In BG for instance Imoen might sneak away and work on her pilfering skills while not under the watchful eye of her Paladin party leader who frowns on such behavior or then there's Kahlid who sometimes walks off in a fog and enters a random house someplace never to be seen again...
  3. Really? No character could open them without the gloves or only a max mechanic build could open them?
  4. Guess that depends on your point of view - I love the idea that I can look forward to different stuff and can't depend on a particular item to be there because to me it means I can't count on a cookie cutter build that always grabs the same gear and plays out the same way (which is pretty boring for me) - this way my character gets to go with the flow and I may end with similar characters (same class and general concept) coming out considerably different from a previous one - this makes for great replayability and that's one of the main reasons I backed this game. Now if I can just manage to find those boots in one of my current adventures I'll be a happy camper!
  5. Not sure whether or not these numbers have been compiled anywhere but I am reasonably certain that no single character can meet every check or perhaps not even a majority of them for that matter - (assuming normal play since getting some stats high enough to meet every check would preclude getting others that high)
  6. And how exactly does a finding a (free) pair of Boots of Evasion that you can wear for the small bonus or sell for cash negatively effect gameplay?
  7. Nevermind! Found solution - needed to run as admin. - took almost an hour to apply I was very tempted to interrupt it as the progress meter stayed at 0 for almost half that time - ---------------------------------------------------------- Got the update downloaded but each time I try to install it I get an error - tried with and without my anti-virus turned on - This is the note that shows up in the folder with the update: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RTPatch Server Software and Data Update System © Copyright 2003-2010.

  8. Actually I think they intended you to play the content around mid-game (It opens to you at mid-game) at least most of the content was intended for mid game - one (seperate) area was intended for higher level parties I believe.
  9. Indeed as in not knowing the outcome ahead of time and having to deal with it!
  10. Could it be because it sounds like the reason you don't like random drops and less than stellar equipment is because you only want all the best equipment all the time and from there it's not much of a leap at all to just provide it at the start? Or maybe it's not about "having the best equipment all the time" and more about "never having equipment that is entirely useless"? That would depend on whether we use the internet definition of "useless" = anything not awesome or the actual definition which clearly would show a use for: 1)even a small amount of increase in reflex as it is entirely within reason to speculate that it is possible that could make the difference between passing or failing a reflex check 2) if your reflex is already over the top it can be sold for 100c with which you can purchase any number of useful things Thus in reality they are not in fact useless at all. In fact one might further speculate that even if the boots had no bonus to reflex at all that they could be used simply to cover the adventurers feet until such time that he found something better to wear - there are in fact many adventurers young and old that take great pride in outfitting their characters properly with nice looking equipment whether or not it adds anything other than that or not. Useless? I think not...
  11. Maybe that final Expansion brings us the PoE2-Engine and rules for PoE1... Frankly I'd like to see the time and energy spent on content rather than re-inventing the engine.

  13. Where is it written that every gamer must find every single item in a single playthrough of every single game - if thats the case why not just put the items into their inventory at level x and do away with random loot altogether or better yet just put it all in a huge pile on the opening screen and let the player choose exactly what they wish to use right from the start. smh
  14. These change the amount of healing the character does not the amount the character receives - is this what you are testing (give them to your healers like Durance) - I don't know if this shows up in character sheet or log but you should be able to test it having the healer cast both with and without the item.
  15. Holy Flying Body Parts Batman! Just ran my rogue back up to clear Valenwood with Eder and Aloth and leveled up to 3 after the bear encounter and took Reckless Assault - I took Peasant earlier and my Island Amaua has dual Hatchets, Bow and Staff equipped (3 slots) - standing behind Eder swinging the staff stuff was flying everywhere LOL - This could be fun!
  16. Keep in mind also that the AoE doesn't move with the priest it remains in place.
  17. Or a ranger/druid with fewer spells with choice of Pet or Shapeshift per encounter -
  18. You have to ask the innkeeper about rooms, or adventurers, or what they have for sale - the dice are on THAT interface - the same one you use for resting or buying items
  19. I can relate - I have probably started two or more times as many rangers as any other class - I may start another one tomorrow LOL
  20. They are the booby prize - no game should be without some!
  21. I've had him summon both - perhaps not at the same point I would have but then it's just AI
  22. What's not to like? A nice pair of boots you can wear until something better comes along for that monster reflex boost and then grab 110 c for them which will almost pay for a nice room bonus someplace. Win/ Win eh?
  23. In other news already had a crash on the new install altho I did have Chrome open with several tabs and it was during a time I was alt/tabbing from one to the other that it froze so could have been something to do with that - So far I've got a rogue and a barbarian started the rogue is in GV with Eder and Aloth the Barb just got out of the opening dungeon and needs to level up to 2. Will post some details later.
