Nice catch. Hmm, why were you mad about low per for Durance...? He's Magran too so he doesn't even have a great +accuracy talent to stack with per.

If it's anything like PoE 1, expert mode just toggles on all the modifiers that you can turn on or off individually as well. Might be the case here too.

If there's 3 expansions, having one more combat-focused isn't such a bad idea to me. After all, the combat is what makes this game for so many people. We'll have to see if it's extensive enough to really stay interesting. I agree that an expansion that only covers one or two zones does seem a little forgettable

Usually the argument for taking might is that what else you gonna pick? Res for wizard?

It's pretty obvious that including the DLC with the main game would have meant a delay of several months. It's really obvious. For better or worse, smaller DLC is the way to go, since they just sell. 15 years ago devs came up with larger planned expansions, and really the only difference is that devs nowadays announce the DLC way beforehand. Most big games have always had expansions planned even before release, nothing has changed.

Would be cool if the DLC could offer alterative routes to go through the game. That'd improve replayability and they'd mesh into the main story better. Then Obsidian wouldn't have to worry about scaling and iffy integration problems as in White March 1&2

How's the Troubadour in general? The Troubadour modal seems somewhat... out of place. You gain phrases faster but everything costs +1 phrase. Does the modal even offset that?

Good thread. My question: If you lower a target's constitution, what happens to its current health? If a target has 75/100 health and loses 5 con from sickened, is its health now 75/75? 50/75? 57/75 (percentage stays same)? Also, on the topic of status effects, are they in general weaker now? In Pillars 1, stunned was -30 deflection, blinded was -20 deflection and -25 accuracy, and weakened was -20 will, -20 fortitude. Now, weakened only drops constitution by 5 and has a healing debuff, for instance.

Hello I was on the side quest "Ready The Cannons" and got to the lift skuldr ambush part. A character of mine fell from the lift and died during the event. When I went to recover the character's items, I could only find some traps I had in my inventory, but none of the equipped items. Is this intended? Mainly sad about the soulbound items I lost.
