Hmm, as I always used slow mode in PoE1, perhaps this was an issue there too.

OMG, I'm so happy you've created this topic! It's not only me then. I have a very hard time with the very same thing, and I'd say that any use of the cursor onto a moving enemy during combat is a futal exercise of following a fake rabbit during a hound race.

I still reckon this is an oversight, but that's just me.

This issue still remains in the current beta. Perhaps, it has something to do with some comparison with the character you have selected?

This has only happened once, but I bump this just in case.

What the title says, when salary is subtracted, etc, a text message pops up, and the message has timed priority, so they pop up at specific intervals. There is a problem, though. Scripted interactions and other UI windows will sometimes be open at that time, and then the pop up text overlays everything in the upper right corner, so you can't press the X of certain UI windows while the text is showing. It may sound minor, but in my last playthrough, I was delayed or hampered because of this three times in just 2.5h.

I agree. We can't have screen resolutions left hanging like this. Overall, there are still way too many UI clippings at various resolutions (and I have just switched between two) and problems with UI customization.

I don't see my Votary build here, I can tell you that it's very strong.

I read it a long time ago, so no, I'm not absolutely sure.

Yeah, sure. In the book, there is something called metahumans (transformed humans). There are two main kinds: Chickenheads are not allowed to move to the Outer Worlds, while Andys aren't allowed to leave them. So, basically, the Outer Worlds are part of the world and planetary geography of the Blade Runner universe.

Hmm, you folks don't know your Blade Runner! The film is loosely based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In Philip K. D i c k 's book, the Outer Worlds is an integral part of the story. Is this some fantastic Blade Runner game to give CD Project's Cyberpunk 2077 some competition?

Yes, oh yeah, alright!!! Now, we all get to fine-tune the combat speed just to our liking. Brilliant stuff!

Like I said in the great feedback thread: I reckon they are too slow, and I want recovery to be faster, but I also want slow mode back, if that makes sense.

I love it too, and I even love the slight hassle with leaving and entering the town. It makes those passages more RPG-y and important, rather than a super-fast transition from my party of six walking around to a miniature boat on the overland map.

Interesting, the system will be even more fleshed out, and lots of potential stumble blocks are heading our way as we sail around the archipelago, that's for sure.

Perhaps this ship combat will be just as divisive as the Spirit Eater mechanic in NWN2 MoTB? Hopefully, adjustments will make it more smooth and less of a "seablock", a gold sink and a chore.

Another feedback that perhaps is premature and thus not relevant, if our backer beta patches here are older and heavily trimmed than the current state of Deadfire, is passive abilities and the lack of them for certain classes. Far too often than not, I feel like I have two or three to choose from (due to power level restraints). Levelling up should be a pretty important occasion. Rather than we get to pick our umpteenth weapon proficiency, I'd like to see a few more passives for most classes. And some of them feels so starved and unvaried. I mean, just take a look at the Mage class: n o t h i n g b u t s p e l l s . . . Will there be more passives? I've some vague memory of more being on their way.

I know. What is it with this excess of weapon proficiency? Personally, I'd like to see half of them, tops! I'd rather that the other half would result in my skill points perhaps, or even better 3-4 or more passives, I mean the game's supposed to be fun no? I don't have a need for a character that knows 8 different weapons proficently. Already by level 8 or so, I'm starting picking Medium Shield just for the heck of it. It's like an unwanted dilution of the weapon proficiency concept.

Yup! For arbalests and similar weapons, the reloading should be the slowest, but that should be compensated with some pretty juicy damage, and even juicier crits: Crossbow bolts can penetrate human skulls, as has been proven by plenty of finds.

In some very recent Mytbusters (with the new team), they fired a feather bola from two small "cannons" as in sync as possible, and that makes for a good bola effect with a smaller interconnected object with lighter weights, but yeah, agreed: It would be a disaster using something so heavy with real cannons.

I'm bothered by sails in a different way. The new boats we got to try out on the overland map. Is it just me, but aren't those sails blocking the entire ship, so all that we get to see is some banana-shaped, crescent-shaped piece of sailcloth?

I still remain optimistic, though, provided that they prioritize wisely up until launch (== stuff mentioned in this thread! ). In PoE1, I always used slow mode, and I still agree with AndreaColombo 100% about the need for fun and flow in combat. I'd much rather have the faster recovery time back (with less idling) than this current system, as long as we get a slow mode, pretty please. I do believe that the combat systems can be simplified. Start off by removing the percentages, and simplify how damage gets calculated. Simplify stacking too. Optional combat info/stat feedback in the game needs to be there, plus all the necessary stuff for weapons and attributes when making our characters and levelling them up. I'd also rather have sucky ship combat (To me it's just some icing on the cake). Instead, give me the stuff suggested in this thread. This can be done. I believe in you, Obsidian! If you do fix this things, you may very well have created a true CRPG masterpiece for eons to come. Why aim for less, now that you're so close to hit an out-of-the-ballpark home run?

Yep! Including these nice suggestions would make a great first step for enhancing the accessibility of PoE2.
