Please oh Please Obsidian! DO NOT ADD ANY ROMANCE in this game!! i hope i am not the only one who does NOT WANT romances in the RPG game... Edit: Wanted to write something more but my notebook said he needs to restart in 10 seconds. So, when i first time Played PoE i was kin of "veteran" in all kind of RPG's (started out back in late 80's or early 90's with "Eye of the Beholder" and "Betrayal at Krondor"), and after playing long time Baldur's Gate, then Mass Effect and Dragon Age i was getting used to romances in games (starting with not even single romance oprtion in "real" cRPGs). And so when i launched PoE and first i met Sagani my first thought was: "Hey it would be a romance!" but it wasn't and it was sad. Then i've met Grieving Mother and again i thought: hey! There is surely a romance with that crazy chick! But it wasn't and maybe it was better that way. After few walkthroughs i didn't only get used "anew" for lack of romances but i reminded all "old" cRPGs which were free of such **** and were... Better. Yup they were much better because instead of thinking: "Maybe i should go to camp and fck Morrigan again because i just killed her mother and have that grimoire?", i was thinking: "Hey maybe i should go an help Eder cause his story seems to be more important that weird Goth-Chick?" It was first cRPG from many years that was free from this and it felt good. I don't want PoE2 another "romance simulator" it won't be fun, and it probably make me wonder: "Why the heck i pledged it instead of D:OS2?"

Yup. You can't. There is no way to say "Stay in Caed Nua Friend" without previously joining companion (except when Your party is full), so in solo achievements You won't be able to complete Turn Based Quest (tbh any quest at all) neither most of "someone is asking for escort", "someone is asking of help". Also TCS Completionist is probably impossible to make :-P My TCS at least was speedrun (in around 3 hours).

Axe. It was axe.

Minsc Should be Barbarian (for berserker rage), and where is Jan Jansen (Orian Mage with high sneak and mechanics)? Also i was trying to make Planescape team but unfortunately, no flying skulls, and winged women make it difficult (as for burning ppl i never liked Ignus).

I can't make myself to like him. To be honest None of WM characters mad a way to my heart. I still prefer character from vanilla game than any of expansions characters. Also playing a Barbarian i prefer having Eder (tank) and few casters/ranged than another melee-dps.

You cannot load a Trial of Iron save from in game (only from the main menu), and quitting overwrites the save, which is also deleted on game over. Only thing you can do to save the situation is to Alt+F4, or close the process in Task Manager, but then whats the point of Trial of Iron. Actually if You got attacked, and when there are hostiles around You exit to main menu, Your save won't overwrite. Other words if You want reload save in PotD - got attacked I accidentally found that out while on my TCS i made a ragequit in Lle a Rhemen, in cave with spores - couldn't pass through them without a fight which i could not win. so when having like 20hp i just quit. And then i realise i can resume from the entrance.

Alpine Dragon for me. With Adra i had funny glitch - My main was using some item that is giving Invisibility on critical hit and The Grey Sleeper and in first hit i scored critical and stayed invisible the whole fight so that everyone in team except my barb died, but he finished Adra. I think it is the glitch with invisibility as it should vanish on taking hostile action but it didn't. On my PotD run i didn't try to kill Adra (now playing hard), and in previous playthrough i did not manage to kill her as max level was 12 then.

It is known issue, and afaik it is going to be fixed in 3.02.

During rests. If You have them in party, you will dream.

Rest in caed Nua and add bonus from resting in wilderness - that is what i often do ;-)

Well said. Due to lack of class-restriction PoE has it's own multi-classing mechanics. Like Melee-wizards, or blunderbuss Ciphers.

My view is that *barbarian* should not be a class but a background. The (few useful) barbarian talents should be rolled into Fighters as an alternative to the mainly defensive talents they have now, Since very long time Barbarian and Fighters are in RPGs different classes (i think Warhammer 1 ed already make them different ones), and so are they in cRPGs. While Fighters are always more disciplined and in every system they rely on defense barbarians are wild warriors relying on raw power and damage. I won't touch that. Barbarian imo has nothing to do with warrior classes. It is like Warrior=Legionnaire, Barbarian=well... Barbarian.

Most of Eder and h Hiravis (alone and together) dialogues. I amnot big fan of durance (he is being an ***hole - but is useful), but it makes me laugh when he says something that sounds like "Magran's fire cast light in DORK places" (instead DARK).

Very True +1

Of What i know it is pretty new in WM pt 2. Yet i still did not figure how to get 2 more forces to aid me, since What are other two options in terms of aid (i mean Eir Glanfath? Dwarves?)

My mechanic expert was always Aloth (he starts with mechanics on 1) and it is not a problem really...

GM has the least dialogues of all characters, It is connected with her heritage, with being psychically broken cipher, i'd say that it is by far the most interesting character in terms of side-story in this game (for me).

And "rest per encounter", the worst part of all IE games. Pillars were free from it since starting from lvl 9 you can rest only to replenish Health (occasinally if micro was good), and now this nightmare is back....

As i think about it there is only one question i want to ask: Why? Using spells of levels 1-3 once per encounter was thing that was making playing any caster class rewarding, while now i totally prefer having more fighters than spellcasters (only chanter is now worth something and maybesome OP-built cipher), but wizard, druid and cleric lost a lot of charm. Also I washappy about changes on Athletics,but it seemsthey changed "everyone has to have atletics on 5" to "everyone has to have survival on 6" so it is not fun at all :-/ I was so happy about changes (before i played a bit) and now i stopped playing at all. It just stopped being fun (

And a few reused maps. And Oswald with his airship. And Nym, that scoundrel. Think this all counts for "same region of Forgotten Realms"

I'd hope for another and completely new story. Like IWD1 and 2 had nothing in common except title and region of Forgotten Realms. New Main character, new companions, new story.

Not true. CRPG stands for Club of Refined and Prestigious Gentlemen.

It was added in last patch. Before there was no Strange Illness
