Fort Deadlight and Arkemyr's Mansion, because stealth was a viable approach; The Archives (The Forgotten Sanctum) and The Bridge Ablaze (The Beast of Winter), because of the lore and new information on the Saint's War; Neketaka; Companions;

In general, kiting is the key - when fighting several enemies simultaneously, getting surrounded means reload. I rolled in circles landing 2 light quick hits at a time on 1 of them and rolling/sprinting away before the rest caught up. Worked for the most of the game, except 2 bosses from Hearts of Stone (one required more aggression, the other had to be parried) and 1 boss from Blood and Wine.

Sundered: Eldritch Edition. Metroidvania/Rogue-like. If part of the locations wasn't RNG'd, the game would be amazing. All other aspects (combat, customizable PC controls, plot, graphics and soundtrack) are great, but randomized areas and the horde system make exploration much less enjoyable, than it could be.

Japan bans game key re-sales and save data editors. I'd blame microtransactions, but it seems that the issue is with proprietary save editors distributed via PSN. Doesn't make it any better, though.

I edited* Nok-Nok back and completed the last chapter with him. There was no epilogue for him, but he participated in the final battle and the secret ending was successfully achieved. *added him as an available companion, instead of setting the correct quest flag. Not the best solution, but the least time-consuming. --- As a side note, I think, there's strong dissonance between the plot and its presentation - the story by itself is rather grim, but the narrator (Linzi) paints rainbows and unicorns upon it. The main character builds their kingdom on the remains of their adversaries and predecessors and has to be absolutely determined to hold it, no matter how many corpses and resources required to do so. Thus the only character fitting this mindset I was able to RP was Kyros the Overlord. Though, Tyranny was somehow more self-aware. Despite (or because of) it, PF:KM still was interesting to play.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Today I've tried to complete the last two chapters in one go and it probably was a bad idea. Though, it turned out that the last chapter was optional, so I have completed the game with a reasonably good outcome. Also found a Masterwork Siangham (had to look it up). For some reason it had a crate as its icon and I don't remember this weapon type being available.

Not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but (spoilers for the House at the Edge of Time)

Spoilers, obviously: Is it possible to send the Faces to the Beyond? It seems like a Watcher thing to do. Also an absolutely unrelated question:

I just remembered that there was a book on pronunciation of Eld Aedyran names somewhere at the Temple of Revelations. I guess, it might be considered a hint to Fyonlecg's age and background.

But how would you swap them with Porokoa when his fight comes after the part where you talk to Whehami? If you want Muatu to become the Faces, then you need to empower him before talking to Whehami. If you want the Porokoa to become the Faces, you need Whehami's axe/to be the Champion of the Slayer. Though, in either case the outcome is quite bad (random corpses). Thanks. I did Seeker instead. Does that mean for things to just continue as they are you need to talk down Whehami rather than fight him? You can fight Whehami and the outcome will be reasonably decent. I've never managed to talk him down, because of the requirements (to be his chosen and to have Intimidate 16, maybe something else), so not sure, if it changes much. There was another thread about endings for SSS with more information (https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/106399-seeker-slayer-survivor-ending-question-spoiler/). Yeah I read that thread before posting this one, but they don't actually say if the ending is any different that way. Did you get: The Faces of the Hunt continue to rule the Crucible in Galawain's or rather Toamowhai's name... Also trying to figure out if it changes anything if you sacrifice the souls to the crucible. Yes, I got that ending. I guess (haven't checked), if you didn't destroy Cignath Mor (the underwater facility) and sacrificed the souls to the Crucible, Galawain is less hostile (?).

I usually rescue Oswald before reaching Neketaka, so dialogue with Kahn goes a bit weird, but I do pay her 2K, because on one hand, my crew members' obligations are mine, on the other, gold is scarce at the beginning.

There should a portal at the Castle of Knives (at the middle of the map). Though, I don't remember any Fog events, only the First World/Fey, so it might be a different thing. Edit. I've cleared "The Twice-Born Warlord" and tried to assassinate Jamandi Aldori and Natala Surtova (for RP reasons and because I didn't do it on the first PT). They happened to be immune to the Cloudkill spell and the aura of the Heart of Ira (which seems to be nerfed in the last patch). "Deal with the Devil" progressed, unlike the previous time, though I've chosen the supposedly not-bugged option in one of the dialogues, so the "good" route might be still bugged.

It's perfect. The controls are rebindable (though, still weird for the bike/rocket gameplay sequences) and there is mouse support (works in 14th chapter).

I haven't tried to use Echolocation, so not sure, if it works. On an unrelated note. It's possible to use Baleful Polymorph on bosses (though, DCs are high). I couldn't loot the body, but the dialogue was rather amusing in the context.

Sorry about necro'ing the thread, but does anyone know the console command to set the outcome to "Tuaha has failed"? The thing is that the assassination might end in success with 50% chance, even if the stalker is alive and well, and Tuaha leaves the map after the quest is completed, so I can't just travel to Port Maje before the end-game and attack her.

I'd suggest to get Blind Fight and Freedom of Movement as soon as possible, if the section of the game you're approaching hasn't been rebalanced in the last patch.

Thank you for the information. I didn't know that quest outcomes used RNG. Is there a console command to set the event to the stalker's success?

Is slaughtering all librarians supposed to affect the ending? After going through the Collections it seemed like a good idea, so I expected it to be mentioned somewhere. The opportunity to save Bekarna and assist her with the spell feels quite significant. My thanks. Reading about Saint's War after meeting Eothas and Waidwen gives some perspective. In PoEI/Dyrwood one side of the story was much more prominent (excluding the White March DLC).

There's a book about imps in the Archives. If you give it to Fetid Spray, you'll the achievement (and the incredible smell).

Would anyone say that the game is in a stable enough state that I can now play it without running into progression stopping bugs every few hours? It should be fine up to the 5th chapter. I'm on my 2nd PT and some of the bugs I've encounter on the 1st PT have been fixed. Some were added, though. On an unrelated note, why there are rolls in non-combat skill checks? Unless it's the Iron Man mode, nothing stops the player from reloading until they succeed.

The bug is still presented in v4.0.0.0034. If it's the planned outcome or it cannot be fixed after the quest was completed, I would appreciate the information.

You can avoid fighting the golems by interacting with the flesh thing (?) there. Also is there a way to save the Frightened Child, excluding killing her?
