Don't complain about battles being too hard
For some reason I was able to steamroll through the beta with a Monk, but Paladin and Cipher were difficult.

What are you reading?
In my admittedly small experience, those that don't think they need an editor need one the most. It takes additional sets of eyes to pick out glaring flaws in your prose, even if you feel that it works as is. *Shrug* And I like King as well. It was probably one of the worst things 12 year old me could've read, but I loved it.

Bludgeoning weapons, go for the wood beetles, use the cleric spell that suppresses hostile effects. The spiders are worse though, DoT stuff as a whole really needs to be toned down.

Choosing spells in your Grimoire...
Seems to be, although we haven't seen a whole lot of levels yet. You can change the spell loadout at any time (although if you do it during combat, you'll lose the ability to cast. Not sure for how long. I think until after combat ends). Oh I figured it was like a D&D mage or Sorcerer and you had to rest to replenish?? The closest analogue is Pathfinder's Arcanist. Essentially you select spells to memorize, and can cast from that list if you have spell slots available. IMO, Wizards should get more spells known on level up.

Is the PoE beta + the update info on target with the KS goal - IE spiritual successor?
Almost everything in the EE can be achieved by installing BGT, and the original content isn't very good. It is easier to mod and has more things you can change than BG2 though. In a few years and several good mods are created, it might edge out the originals for the go-to for classic D&D RPGs. YMMV.

The single thing that would make you happier with POE.
Yes. If you $10 and a few hours to kill, play the original vanilla. Encounter design and enemy variety sucks, there is almost no character development wit NPCs, and the story is a bit lacking. I'd go as far to say that IWD is better in all areas except for exploration. do the BGT if you feel like playing through BG1 content, and add a lot of mods. The EE added some nice things, like 2 evil NPCs that made it possible to have an all-evil full party, but with the lack of support for Ascension and no compatibility for a plethora of older mods, I honestly can't recommend it. In fact, doing a BWP install of BGT would be the best course of action, but it takes like 3+ hours to do it manually with SCS' AI components taking a very long time. Worth it IMO, currently playing as a SK'd Kensai Magus(google Pathfinder Kensai Magus if confused) and am having a real good time. To get back on topic, I would tweak Cipher to be role-ready for gish stuff. Paladins and Gishs are my favorite characters to play, and I don't think the PoE Cipher is that great as a gish. IMO, it needs a higher base deflection, health, and melee accuracy along with powers that focus on debuffing enemies or strengthening combat ability.

You're insane! BG is fantastic. No, BG2 was. Vanilla BG is the worst parts of low-level D&D shoved into a vidya game.

Oi, don't compare that piece of **** to Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate was pretty bad. Play BGT without any AI mods(which is a waste of time, tbh) and the difference in quality going from BG to BG2 is pretty startling. Currently playing BGT-BWP with SCS right now and without the enhanced AI and encounters, the BG section would be pretty boring.

List necessities you think would fix the game in broad strokes
Yeah I agree. IMO, Ciphers should get quick Powers that complement gishing, like boosts to combat abilitiy and quick debuffs. The Charm is way too OP for a first level power that can be used a lot in one day.

Combat. As it is, combat is pretty wonky and DoTs are horrendously overpowered.
-

I actually think the Cipher could use some beefing up in terms of HP and deflection. IMO it doesn't work well as a gish, which IIRC it is supposed to be. I don't disagree about the charm power, that seems like it should be level 3 or 4.

What genre do you do? I already told you bro, human-creature romances. More seriously, I think he does war stories and mentioned wanting to do fantasy once. On the topic of war stories, Garth Ennis is doing his War Stories comics for Avatars which will be awesome.- The state of Feminism, the good the bad
So only Blacks hold that view and only they rape strippers? That is Bull****. Have you ever meta black person or are you just talking out your ass? I call it as it is. You should use a dictionary, if English confuses you. Did I stumble onto Stormfront by accident? Let's look at your "facts". 1. Take a look at prison stats. Drug offenses make up 49.7% of prisoners and clocks in at 100,549 prisoners. Homicide and sex offenses together are 9.1% of prisoners. A prisoner is much more likely to be in prison for drug offences than sexual assault, assault or battery, or homicide. Total population of Blacks in the US is 44.5 million. Percentage of Blacks incarcerated is 1.8% of total population of Blacks. Judging a race by the actions of less than 2% of them is stupid. Pushing that further by saying they are all rapists and murders, makes me wonder how you are able to breath correctly. 2. Look at the historic behavior of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and compare them to Africa. As to the ethnic cleansing going on, well Europe had that going on about 70 years ago. You want to say Africa is less decloped than Europe, fine, but acting like the **** going on in Africa is somehow unique is stupid. You should be sorry that you are too lazy to do basic research before making an ass out of yourself.- The state of Feminism, the good the bad
The idea that a girl deserves rape because she works as a stripper or some other job in the sex industry is not common here. In fact it is common that rape and sexual harassment are considered really bad things that you shouldn't do to anyone. Murderers and rapists do exist, but they are a small percentage of all races. If you honestly think Blacks are a horde of rapists and murderers, you're a moron.- The state of Feminism, the good the bad
Yeah, but is that because they are ashamed or because of the social stigma from other people? As long as there are black people who think that prostitutes and escorts can be raped because of the job they have, I don't expect even the prouders of them to inform the world of their occupation.I don't know how ****ed up things are where you live, but here no one thinks it's ok to rape strippers, prostitutes, or pornstars.Thankfully we don't have much black folks. If by here you meant Texas then I could agree, but in the US you sure as hell have a large bunch of those animals on the loose. And here I thought I wouldn't read anything more idiotic than feminist tripe in this thread.- A Flawed Design
