Is this game worth the price they are asking?
As far as I'm concerned, it is worth the $250 I dropped on it during the Kickstarter. Would back again.

all PoE "random" item & day checklist
Amazing work and time-saver! Also I don't need to cheat to get the Gauntlets of Accuracy or the Boots of Speed XD

Can i change hard mode from "hard" to "PotD"?
In order to change difficulty to PotD on a game you've started on a different setting, you need the IE mod.

Enchanting weapons - does damage stack?
To the best of my knowledge you can only have one Quality enchantment on a weapon at a time. If a weapon is Damaging, it can't be also fine. Weapons that are inherently Accurate are an exception, and their accuracy bonus stacks.

Update Notes: 1.06
Brandon, please extend my appreciation and thanks to the whole crew. Pillars of Eternity is great and so is your continued support. I am confident many reported bugs will eventually get fixed with subsequent patches and I, for one, am more than happy to contribute by reporting bugs. On a mildly related note, please make sure Eric keeps an eye on the thread where we report typos as we've been fairly active over there since 1.05 ;-)

Translation Errors / Missing Translations - English
AndreaColombo replied to AndreaColombo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Missing space after the ellipsis. Screenshot Reads, "over his him" but should be "over him". Screenshot Missing space before the second hyphen in the aside. Screenshot Missing verb in GM's third-dream conversation (reads "she burning", should be "she's burning"). Screenshot

[1.05] St. Garam's Spark
AndreaColombo replied to Insolentius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)^ I agree, but I just really like the aesthetics of the Blade of the Endless Paths XD (I also like the idea of a "faster" estoc.)

Party members still switch weapon sets when charmed
Because they don't do it intelligently and with a purpose. They just do it all the time regardless of circumstances. If they swapped weapons intelligently based on what is best to turn on you, it would be a killer A.I. feature.

Disable Auto-Save on Area Transition?
AndreaColombo replied to Troy4747's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)The latest version of the IE mod lets you disable autosave entirely.

[1.05] St. Garam's Spark
AndreaColombo replied to Insolentius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Indeed. That's my favorite blade in the game, except "Speed" doesn't do anything and "Marking" is entirely useless. Alas

Are fighters lacking late-level offensiveness?
Emphasis mine. I missed that question when I first replied to this topic. My answer is, "it depends." If you're using high-damage weapons (especially two-handers), 20% more damage per swing is often worthwhile. In most cases, I'll take 20% more damage guaranteed on every hit over 50% more damage if/when I crit. That said, a -5 accuracy penalty is something that can be made up for with relative ease—Disciplined Barrage being the most obvious way for a Fighter, alongside the Gauntlets of Accuracy (which are sadly part of the random loot table.) A Paladin's Zealous Focus is also a good way to overcome the accuracy penalty imposed by Savage Attack, since it gives you a +6 bonus (you'll need to keep your Fighter close to the Paladin for it to work, but I would rarely expect the two to be very far from each other anyway.) The good thing about Savage Attack is that it is a modal to boot, so if you're fighting foes with a particularly high Deflection you can just turn it off and get back your accuracy. So all in all, it is a talent worth getting if you're doing an offensive build.

Not necessarily a bad thing right now.
-

Already reported.
-
Are fighters lacking late-level offensiveness?
Disciplined Barrage and Bonus Knockdown are mandatory in my every Fighter build. I usually take a second Weapon Focus talent to have more versatility in my weapon choices. Alternatively, the talent that increases movement speed is also viable; or Quick Switch if you switch weapon sets often.

Did you guys email Paradox about your physical copies? My backer portal also says "shipping soon" and I got my rewards over a month ago, so it doesn't really count.- Request Help to identify specific POE Music in Soundtrack
Great track! Pity it is not on the soundtrack CD.- [1.05] [Minor] Typo in Twin Elms
AndreaColombo replied to Insolentius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)They do care (1.05 fixed a bunch of typos that were reported) but you should report it here for consistency/visibility (Eric has an eye on that thread, and Darren makes sure it stays that way )- Let's be stylish
- [1.05] St. Garam's Spark
AndreaColombo replied to Insolentius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)I thought it increased the accuracy of a single ally attacking the same target for as long as they both kept attacking the same target. That would be all right. As it is, it's very weak and overall useless.- [1.0.5] Chain Lightning slows framerate to a crawl
AndreaColombo replied to PrimeJunta's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Just tried this on my rig (i7 4790k, 16Gb DDR3 2400Mhz CL10, GTX970) playing at 1080p windowed. Casting Chain Lightning I got 43 fps. Not a great deal many for my rig, I guess SAVED GAME: link REPRO STEPS: Load the attached saved game while running a software that shows frame rate (e.g. FRAPS.) Click on the Stronghold icon and observe that vicious mercenaries are about to attack. Click on Manual Resolve to enter the fight with the vicious mercenaries. As soon as combat starts, pause the game and select Aloth. Observe that Aloth has the Chain Lightning spell memorized. Cast Chain Lightning. Observe that when the spell is cast, frame rate drops significantly. NOTE: several effects in the game suffer from bad compression that makes them pixellated. I am not suggesting we further compress them. However, if my PC can run much heavier 3D games at 60 fps, there must be some GPU optimizations that can be done to achieve smoother frame rates when effects are in place. - Okay it's the 27th, where's our physical goods?
