[What Weapons Do We Still Have A Dearth Of?]

a spiked mace

 

That's already a thing. It's called a morningstar.

[Blightheart "dexterity affliction"? help]

Hobbled, Immobilized and Paralyzed are dexterity afflictions. Use abilities that inflict one of these, like Hobbling Shot or Binding Roots for example.

[Forgotten Sanctum: Will Fassina Have A Role In That DLC?]

It's very likely that Fassina will have some choice words for her old mentor, but I wouldn't expect her to have a big role to play. She is an optional sidekick after all.

[To kill Llengrath or not?]

If you're roleplaying your Bleak Walker as written then the choice is obvious. Kill Llengrath in the most gruesome way possible. She sent assassins after you, by the Bleak Walker creed you are supposed to make an example of her that is so extreme that no one else would dare do the same again.

[How do you remove Burden of Memory?]

I goes away on it's own over time. But it takes a really long time, and you can't sleep or wait until it goes away. I suppose you could try leaving the game on over night or something.

[Obsidian, you should stop hearing the bunch of min-maxers that spam this forum]

I stopped playing the DLCs in PoE1 because it became a chain of absurd combats where enemies cheated and spamed stupid abilities just to satisfy a handful of "its too easy" morons. And now it happened again. Combat in Poe2 was fluid and fun until I arrived to this stupid iceberg, and suddendly I have to be an expert in the rules of the game to not be erased by hordes of random enemies with the power of demigods.

 

Obsidian, please stop. The averge player wants a fun experience with some roleplaying, not a grade on your innecesary complex ruleset. Every second the combat log adds dozens of records for every action, Am I supposed to spent my sunday afternoon studing this **** to see what is going on? **** off.

 

Sincerely yours, a customer.

 

Don't worry guy, I'm sure they'll listen to you since you're being so polite and all. Have fun!

[Single class should be more statistically superior than multi]

If I'm serious role player, multi class is guaranteed to closely match how I envision my char than single class.

 

Why would that be guaranteed? What if you envision a character that is simply a priest or wizard? I had no problem roleplaying my single class priest.

[Haema: What character class?]

Two star cook

[Do you need the new companinion Vetnir in your party to do the beast of wninter?]

I should warn you though, that if you don't recruit him and complete the DLC, it appears you can't recruit him afterwards.

[Sooo..."the Trial" (end game spoilers)]

What did you expect from a kangaroo-court?

[Pillars III Speculation Thread]

As far as location goes I would love to see the Aedyr Empire.

 

But I sincerely hope they give us a new main character instead of reusing the watcher every time. You can only do the "reset-to-level-1" thing so many times before it gets annoying. Plus, some fresh new companions could be nice. Alternatively they could have us play a reincarnation of the watcher a century or more after the events of Deadfire.

 

It would also be great if they crafted a storyline that wasn't all about the gods and reincarnation like the last two.

[We really need to talk about XP]

Personally I like that I can cap the party a bit before the end and actually get to have some fun with my high level abilities. I say they should keep the xp where it is now, I remember there being very little left to do after I capped my party and being disappointed in that. Then I played through BoW with a maxed out party and had tons of fun with it. 

[Beast of Winter impressions]

The soul allies don't seem to help you in the fight with the dragon at all, what they seem to do is debuff the dragon. I played through the DLC twice, the first time without allies the dragon had an absurd armor rating of 18, the second time I had two allies and the dragon was down to an armor rating of 13.

[Unable to download DLC]

There has been talk of fixing it yes, but I was under the impression that it had been fixed. It seems I was mistaken.

[How to drain the water in Sunken Crown?]

Alrighty then. So you solved it by accident too. I still have no idea how it's supposed to be done. Great puzzle design Obsidian!

[How to drain the water in Sunken Crown?]

There's a water puzzle in there? :D

 

Drain the water in there and you get a unique greatsword.

[How to drain the water in Sunken Crown?]

That whole area is about playing at watershaping, so you're gonna need to be more specific. Overall I didn't find it a very tricky puzzle (easier than the Wael dungeon puzzle on the black isle) - most if not all toggles are purely helpful, as in they clear an area without also obstructing another. Just take portals and see if they lead to a new toggle...

 

But if you want the one held by a statue I think you need to enter the Sunken Crown from the south (it'll be south when you zone in) and exit to the northwest and hit the toggle.

 

I think he's talking about the indoors area where you meet the king, not the outdoors one where you get the scepter from the statue. As I said, I managed to get to it but I have no idea how I did it.

[How to drain the water in Sunken Crown?]

I don't know how I did it, but after I talked to the king I left the the area through the right portal and then went back to the palace by walking through the area again and the water was gone. I don't know what I did to remove the water, but it was gone.

[Unable to download DLC]

There is (or was) an issue where you can't get the free DLC if you aren't the owner of the game. Meaning if you have the game through Family Sharing on Steam, then you don't have access to the free DLC. I assume that is what Hades meant by his line "The person who has the game alrdy has them installed so its on their account as well."

 

If that isn't the case then it's easy to solve on steam, click the download button on the store page which will then start the game. Then just shut the game down and the DLC should have appeared in the DLC list for the game library on your account. Just find the DLC in the list and uncheck/check the checkmark next to it and it should start downloading. But like I said, you can't get it if you have the game through Family Sharing, only the person who actually owns the game can.

[Do we know about how long Beasts Of Winter's playtime is?]

It's not that long. I played through it in one session, took about 4 to 5 hours and I don't feel as though I rushed through it.

[ETA Of Beast Of Winter?]

And they've stopped us asking Qs

 

https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104326-its-2nd-wheres-my-dlc/page-2

 

They locked your thread? After you asked so nicely? Inconceivable!

[New Achievements for 2.0 (with one VERY big spoiler)]

They said they wouldn't do steam achievements for the gnarliest achievements (like triple crown solo), so as to not give the achievement hunters an aneurysm.

[It's 2nd - where's my DLC]

You know, if you'd bothered to go to the steam store page for Beast of Winter it would have a very handy counter saying: "This game will unlock in approximately X hours". So please don't whine, no one likes a whiner.

[POLL - Where would you like to travel if PoE saga continues]

We've been through frontier areas in two games now. After this I'd love to see somewhere a little more "settled", the Aedyr Empire would be my choice.

["Adventure Mode", like in Diablo 3!]

The procedural generation dungeons from Diablo 3 work great for an endless hack and slash game like Diablo or Path of Exile. It has nothing to do with a true RPG like Pillars of Eternity. If that's what you want, then you want a different game, not Pillars of Eternity. I do not support this idea in any way.
