Im that way about my microwave and oven clocks.

I gave my BB Wizard a rifle too and hes a wrecking machine. I use him to pull mobs to the Paladin and BB Fighter.

*sadfaceemoji*

I don't feel that my non maxed Might characters are gimped at all. Sure, except for your Damage, Healing and Fortitude being lower.

Discuss the posts and not the posters, please. If your entire contribution to the discussion is to snipe from the sidelines with personal insults then keep it to yourself.

With my human Mage I started everything at 10 then maxed out Might (19), Intelligence (18) and dumped the last point into Con. I cant see any reason to not max out Might (unless you are doing that self gimp thing).

Its interesting to me how vastly different people played the IE series. The thought of walking back and forth to carry every possible loot never entered my brain, when I got full I would just discard whatever was the lowest value item in my inventory for whatever better thing I just picked up. But I see several other posters say they DO go back and forth for everything. No way is better than the other but I feel if Im going to have unlimited inventory then I shouldn't be restricted from being able to offload it. Imo. I think I remember something about the stronghold being a pretty big gold sink. Hopefully there's enough merchants around to sell everything.

Shooting? Of course not. Now some drone deployed pepper spray...

What happens when they are squatting at the location they don't want to work at and are preventing anyone else from working there?

To be fair, you could also be a bush or barrel.

I had the opposite situation. BB Wizard had all his spells but the Wizard I rolled wouldn't display level 2 or 3 spells. So there is some other grimoire in my inventory? That would have never dawned on me. Ill look for it but does that mean equipping it will disable my level 1 spells?

I haven't played around with Stealth yet so this is news to me. How does it work? Each character has an individual Stealth skill to add point to so what determines success or failure in a party wide Stealth? Lets say five of your party have a Stealth score of 7 but the sixth guy has a score of 5. What happens here?

That's not true afaik. Staying on the critical path only will still provide you the XP needed to complete the game. XP gained on exploration / non crit path is just extra. You should hit the level cap either way but the latter method may get you there faster. Are you talking about the old IE games? Because I was. No sorry, I thought you ware talking about PoE.

Yep, the vendors have a limited amount of gold. I hit a game stopping bug before a 24-hour cycle happened in game so I don't know if merchants replenish their gold.

The stated goal of the unlimited stash was to remove the "degenerative gameplay" of walking back and forth to collect all the loot, so I don't see them changing it. What they should do is remove the merchant cash limit. Whats the point of gathering loot if you cant sell it?

I thought for sure that you would get the reference.

Absolutely, but this doesn't mean we're gonna be swapping spit in the shower.

Ive had some weirdness too. On the second floor of the inn there are two locked chests. I selected BB Rogue and tried to open them a few times but nothing happened, no message about lockpicks and no action taken by the NPC. Then I tried it one last time and voila, all of a sudden she picked the locks!

Send a PM to Fionavar (head moderator) and they will fix this situation for you.

I blame Al Sharpton.

I installed last night and played for a bit before I hit a bug and quit for the night. Rolled a human Mage playing on Easy. I brought all attributes to 10 then maxed out Might to 19 and Int to 18. I dropped the last point into Con. Gathered the quests and the dialog is fine if a little glitchy (sometimes it would just state which skill check could be used but not the actual line of dialog). Left town to go to the Ogre area and that's when Beetlepalooza started. Those first three trash mobs are less than 100 yards from each other and I think mook placement needs a rethink. The fighting is a little frantic imo and on the third mob my BB Priest got "stuck" on a pile of loot and entered some endless loop animation. I couldn't move her from that spot either by selecting the entire party or her individually so I quit for the evening. Also, the mage I rolled could not display his 2nd or 3rd level spells. I click on the spell level icons and just an empty area appeared. Strangely this was not a problem when I took control of BB Wizard. The spell descriptions leave a lot to be desired and I couldn't find any way to see the damage range of the spells. The skills seem very limited at only 6 choices and none of them seemed great for my Mage so I just dumped everything into lore for lack of a better choice. I had a good long LOL when I saw the Camping Supplies were 100x the cost of almost everything else for sale from the innkeeper. Im also a little confused about the synergy between the bottomless stash and the merchants. They put in the bottomless stash to counter the "degenerative gameplay" of walking back and forth to get all the loot. This creates a problem of becoming too rich too soon by selling everything you just looted. So they had to put purchase limits on the merchants. So whats the point of being able to loot everything if you cant sell it?

I notice that you do not yet have your Backer badge. Have you completed the Pledge Management process?

NooooOOoooooo! Im a chronic re-loader, Im going to be naked before I even clear the basement of rats.

Now that's something I can get behind. Ill get my coat...
