  1. Sharpshooter/Monk is great with Long Pain because of +PEN/+ACC and Driving Flight - but with a Pollaxe ("polearm"?) I don't see that much synergy other than with the Stalker's bonuses.

    By polearm I mean any long stick weapon :) Pike, quarterstaff, pollaxe will suit. But in the absence of naginata, I think pollax will be the best choice.

    So, I will choose Monk/Cipher then, thank you.

  2. And the "sexual content" in games is probably far less problematic to expose children to than the mass murder, rampant swearing and racism.

    But there is no racism in Pillars: all human subraces are equal, dwarfs and elves are respected too. There is prejudice to godlikes, but it more like aversion to сongenital malformation, not a thing to pride, but absolutely understandable. As for orlans, dislike of animals don't make you a bad person.

  3. There was no "Muscular mages" in POE1. Might wasn't Strength. But I agree with you that the interactions scripts with Might wasn't well written.

    Technically no, there wasn't. But in fact there was. Interactions was written well, it's just might was considered as strenght. Broke the wall with bare hands? Can do. Grab some guy and lift him by the neck? Easy.

    There is two ways to fix this: rewrite all interactions with taking into account the character class or just split physical and mental powers. The second is much easier.

  4. If I'm not mistaken, Iselmyr herself flirts once or twice with women as well. I'm not sure if that is her just being sassy, or an indication to her sexual orientation; but all the same it *also* raises the point that, even if Aloth were "part-woman", his female half would *still* not necessarily be interested in men, or be uninterested in women.

    Iselmyr is rude, aggressive and impudent as stereotypical butch. So making her interested in women that would be problematic stereotype, not feminine Aloth being gay.
