That rings a bell, although I couldn't give a source. I remember Josh mentioning it in the latest Twitch stream. https://www.reddit.com/r/projecteternity/comments/5ye510/pillars_of_eternity_ii_deadfire_qa_stream_5/ <- transcript - it's near the end (do a 'find' for 'Perception') So I'm guessing it'll be Perception to spot traps (and hidden objects) but still Mechanics to disarm. They also said that this time traps will be visible in-world before they're discovered by the characters (so the player can spot them and move around if they're careful, even if the characters don't have high perception). Not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand it'll be visually cool, but on the other it revolves around my own perception more than the characters'. In practice, I'll probably have a high PER character in the front-lines anyway so I guess it won't make a difference. I like it. One of my big problems with BGT(never played BG proper, always used the BGT mod) was that at 100+ detect traps or whatever it was called I would still trigger the damn things despite having waited for over 12 seconds right next to one.

I think I got lost and thought OP was talking about PoE2.

There's a season pass upgrade so they're at the very least planning dlc.

Decent idea however assuming Soul Whip increases damage (+20% iirc) it could be overpowered.

So how does 5e Sorcerer compare to Pathfinder in terms of relative power and versatility?

Freedom is a beautiful thing.

A THE endgame weapon for the PC. I don't mean end game weapons shouldn't exist, I mean there shouldn't be something like The Silver Sword of Gith that's clearly supposed to be the PC's best weapon.

At this point we need a party size general thread stickied.

Really? That wasn't my experience; my rogue PC kicked butt. Maybe they've been "rebalanced" since then? Yes. Rangers can out DPS them with the benefit of range while Ciphers have several powers that give them the edge. That's not to say the PoE rogue is at the level of the BG Beastmaster or single class thief, but compared to other classes it definitely falls behind. Comparitively Chanters are bad because by the time they can pull out an invocation the fight is mostly over, unless it's a boss or PotD. If you talking about damage then chanters are one of the best in the game. Not sure what you are trying to compare here. Check out Boeroer's Drake's Ambassador I clearly expressed the issue with Chanters is that most fights(outside of PotD) are over before they can use their invocations, which means that for most fights they're a basic attack who provides decent buffs to the party. Not bad in itself, but compared to what other classes bring it's hard to justify a Chanter over pretty much anything else outside of bosses or when playing on PotD.

Wizards are arguably the most versatile of all the casters in PoE, they may be limited to preparing a few spells but they get access to a lot of useful stuff. I'm not quite sure what else you want, besides maybe more out of combat spells/abilities. And Rogues were the worst class in the game besides maybe Chanter, completely outshined by Ciphers and Rangers for damage while being comparatively more vulnerable.

What about a Pathfinder dating sim set in a wizard academy?

So I haven't touched this due to a busy schedule, should I jump in or wait until major bugs are patched or a mod that fixes everything is released? Apparently they didn't do half that stuff.

Well I assume posters never read their links because half the time what people say doesn't really match what their posted article says. Would a snappy summary like "it takes genderbending for neoliberals to see why Hillary lost" somehow improve the post?

What if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Had Swapped Genders? It takes gender bending for neoliberals to see why Hillary lost. Edited for those who struggle with clicking and reading.

Will portraits be more consistent? A lot of them werw jarringly different in PoE.

OP has a point, PoE's XP curve and level cap was not very good, I think I was at level 10 before the end of Act2 and hit the cap(12 at the time) when I reached the second city. So I just hired some adventurers because the companions had bad stats and ignored the side quests to power through and fight the final boss. That said it should be possible to hit the cap before the last boss/dungeon is initiated. Perhaps doing 85% of content should be enough to hit the level cap, maybe up XP rewards for the critical path if you need to level crit path players enough for the endgame content.

Yes. Remember the election that just happened? He was pretty much the Stalin of the French Revolution and toppling the government and executing the previous rulers is fairly extreme. Well yeah because it's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. If you're going to drag Marx into every discussion, at least bother to read more than a wikipedia article.https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/At the very least read that so you can stop claiming Germany's social democracy is what Marx actually wanted. See, you simply misunderstood me. I was not saying that 18th Century communist Marx would have supported our social democracy. I was saying that if Marx was born today, he probably would be satisfied enough to be a social democrat (rather than a communist). This is simply because a social market system is very different from Victorian capitalism.it's similar to saying Adam Smith would probably today be a social democrat as well (which I agree with) rather than a liberal (in the European sense)... it's an argument about their intentions behind their theories, not the theories themselves.A biographical discussion, not theory based. Then it becomes even more clear you haven't read their work if that's the conclusion you've drawn.

And neither have you. If you're going to constantly use Marx as your only frame of reference, at least bother to read something he wrote.

DAO had one, but that game is not particularly good. I'm down.

I think some as dungeon or exploration challenges can be fun, and as curry said helps you learn combat. On the other hand if they are truly trash they don't prepare you well for boss fights and scripted encounters where there will be traps or other tactical obstacles. Personally I'd say a little trash and a decent amount of designed encounters would be fun.

Kain Parker sits enjoying the view of his high rise, effortlessly comfortable in his Italian leather drinking chair. Below him the fires of the anime riots burn bright, casting his shadow high on the ceiling above him. Kain slowly rubs his hands together excitedly as he takes in the sight of sub-forums consuming themselves. "Yes," he muses to himself "yes...." I've been found out.
