That got an anime? It's based on a twitter one page a day comic and it was fairly fun. Especially because it was a new format at the time.

Fair enough, although I don't know how much or to what degree it affected the difficulty I had in the game, as it was much the same in Kingmaker and I didn't have help there, but that was on normal difficulty (minus the two arguably strongest companions). I don't know if there were any balance changes between 2021 and 2023 to encounters, as I have not been reading the patch notes, so again I cannot comment on that either. I do agree with you that you cannot balance the game around the minority of players, but I still wished to have a couple of more optional bosses in the latter half of the game that were more memorable to play against. Saying all of that I enjoyed the time I had in the game immensely.

@Gromnir I don't think I used any exploits (that I am aware of), but I do agree that you hit lvl 20 a bit too early. In Kingmaker I didn't hit level 20 at all (had to add xp in the last area (I did miss two whole companions)), but you didn't have mythic levels either so... The DLC gave way to much loot and money, but most of the loot by that point was useless and the money didn't matter that much. I would have to say that I remember the water elemental and the playful darkness fights the most (the summoned demon in drezen was hard too, but it wasn't that fun), from my playthrough. @xzar_montyI would put the abyss in the second half of the game. Never did find a good +5 shortbow for Lann and looking at it now it does not seem to exist. Will maybe try that unfair difficulty.

Finished the game. Took me 220 hours on the dot. I was going for the true ending and was sure I got everything right, but in the end I forgot to Had a little difficulty with the last area, but only because I wanted to save my buffs for later (there was no need because you could rest at the camp after). Once I buffed the party it was smooth sailing. Overall I liked it more than Kingmaker, in pretty much all aspects. The Crusade mini game was miles ahead of kingdom management, but in the end it really went donwhill when I had to I do not know why they didn't figure out something better there. I liked the final boss more in the kingmaker DLC instead of the one in the Midnight Islands. Probably because I could do him earlier in the game and so it was actually a challenge. The things I very much dislike about WotR are the camera, I do not understand why they made it like this... Well I do understand, they added much more verticality and fancy spinning cities, but my god was the camera bad. The other thing is the lack of hard/challenging fights in the second half of the game. In the end I think I may actually replay the other mythic paths at some point. I'll see if the mood takes me.

Is 4.5 million gold enough for me to bribe the demons and win the game. Because I do not know what to do with the money. Still have to do the third leg of the DLC and I imagine I will get a million more at least there...

Uf, that is a challenge. Although in IWD2 you would get more xp per character with less of them, so the power curve would be faster.

It will get easier as you level, on any difficulty. You can start out with more companions and remove them as you level.

I do not think I have it on. I haven't changed anything from default. Except achievements with mods.

Question. My Paladin shifted to neutral good but can still cast smite and judgment. Did they remove the alignment requirement or is toy box preventing it by default?

Accidentally did all of that. Just started to chip away at act 5. Ah, well my caster is pretty much a swarm killer/skill bot. Well when the enemy clumps up I really like to do a weird spell, that is so satisfying.

I could maybe see how it would make it easier for a boss fight, but even then... Makes everything so slow, I was actually mashing my space bar and was skipping turns... Made me remember why I disliked divinity.

I was just forced to play TB mode. What a horrid experience.

Well this is embarrassing, I didn't know there was a mythic spell book...

Level 20, decided to do Iz early, hopefully it doesn't lock me out of side content. At this point I think that my paladin could solo most fights.

Temped to download that patch.

Some of us are still using ancient systems... Got an intel ax210 wifi car for my MB (the old card is useless now (since windows 10) because of drivers), buuuut it's got different plugs for the cable and it has 2 connections instead of 3. The number of connections is not an issue and I knew that it had a different connection on the card (U.FL), but for some reason they used MMCX connectors for the antenna instead of the SMA ones that are pretty much standard and I thought they were SMA because they looked similar. Finding an MMCX/U.FL cable locally turned out to not be possible, so now I wait for ebay again. I ordered a RPSMA/U.FL set of cables too, in case I decide to go with a 2 wire antenna for some reason, but I doubt I will have the will power to disassemble the board again unless the signal is really weak. Will take some pictures of the process when I get all I need.

Not much of a protest, the most dangerous thing was the guy with a sniper. No mentions of it being orchestrated by Russia.

Got back to Drezen, level 19, I think I might be overleveled at this point. I was disappointed that I couldn't keep the gift from a certain dominatrix, but I guess it make sense story wise. I was thinking about getting the demongraft from the arena on my MC, but tbh it seemed really scary for him to go in to a frenzy, but the buff is very good (still got it on Nenio)... At this point I think that I maxed out the attributes, item and book wise, I think there is one OP permanent buff that I'm most likely not going to take because of RP, but other than some mythic levels I think that this is it for my builds. Now you get to that part of the game where story/combat encounters need to do the heavy lifting. I do not think there was anything noteworthy in demon city. Also Sosiel's Impossible Domains seem to be very powerful. @Gromnir I found that my backline is rarely in danger, at this point I have so much money that I just wanted to spend it on something.

Finished the second leg of the treasure dlc. Now I'm a millionaire! Well I can get that crit confirming item without worrying about the gold now, which is nice I guess. I actually laughed at the ping pong fight right before the last boss. (Those crystal bastards are actually the hardest fight of the dlc so far)

Based on a true story.

We need to organize an intervention for you majestic.

Pharaoh remake is out for anyone interested.

We joked about it, but the balloon wars have really started.

Why do you impose your gender notions on a defenseless baby.
