I don't put a beard on every character I play, but I put a thick, shaggy beard on every Nature Godlike I play. It just looks right. On a side note, my first playthrough in every RPG is always named "Katarack".

The fragments are supposed to just show up in your ship when you wake up from the first god convocation dream. There's a bug where with imported saves they show up when you did reforge the sword and with created saves they show up when you didn't, though. I got the Yenwood fragments but not the other fragments. Really pissed me off.

I do wish that there were some "evil" companions who were okay with me playing a truly selfish, amoral, borderline-psychotic son of a bitch. That's one type of playstyle they've severely limited.

Well, Xoti doesn't have a beard for starters, so that already makes her inferior to Durance. And she doesn't even call anyone 'fiery whore'! Xoti also, as far as I know, has never participated in religious riots where they went around murdering people for believing in a different god. Durance can **** right off.

No way. My Watcher considers the gods nothing more than complex soul-constructs whose programming has went bad. Nobody who fawns over the gods is allowed in my party or on my ship. Except Xoti, 'cuz she's hot.

How about not pausing the ship-movement when I look at the map? Super annoying.

Fighter (Eder), Paladin (Pallagina) for my tanks. Priest (Xoti), plus me (rogue/cipher), and a rotating final member (though most often Aloth, has also been Ydwin, Fassina, and Serafen).

Considerably larger if side-quests are counted in. Considerably smaller if only doing main quest.

No, it most certainly is not "impossible". Supposedly "hundreds" of bug reports? *TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE* bought this game. *THOUSANDS* are playing it *RIGHT NOW*. Even of hundreds of people experience those exact bugs, that's a *tiny fraction* of people. Human beings are *crap* at understanding ratios and large numbers.

The guidebook, which gives the total number of Huana scattered across the Archipelago at ten million - and even at that figure, a fraction of the archipelago is settled. The assumption that the archipelago, which spans a thousand miles according to lore, likely more once I finish calculating the size based on data and coordinates on the world map, can be settled practically overnight strains credibility. Which is a military outpost housing the empire's top-secret research. If I walked into Andrews AFB, would I be correct in judging America to be a militarized junta where everyone lives in barracks? They don't abolish it by force - they simply allow Huana to choose a different life, which is far more effective than blowing **** up and forcing social change at gunpoint. Let us not forget: Rauatai's first action in the Deadfire *was a full-scale military invasion*. One where they *massacred* the dominant tribe in the region and began moving on the capital city almost *immediately*. Rauatai isn't some friendly convert-through-friendship group. That's their *secondary* plan, after military conquest and dictatorship *failed*.

Was that a *lightning bolt*?! Goddamn, I played through that whole game and never saw that happen!

Concelhauts comforting blanket of fluffiness! Powerful, but no match against Arkemyr's Utterly Boring Fireball, or Arkemyr's Anti-Climactic Lightning Bolt! :D What does it do though? I can't stand the tension! Nobody knows exactly, the target just spasms and drops dead all of a sudden, usually followed by a small thunderclap. It's really annoying to deal with, and has earned Arkemyr the esteemed title of "cheating haxxor wizard" throughout Eora, as other wizards at least have the decency to keep their spells fancy, impressive and easily recognizable in advance . That actually seems totally in-character for Arkemyr.

That sounds about right. Weak willed heroes are pretty rare. Likewise, I never want to give my main character low intelligence for RP reasons. I mean, would you want your hero to be a moron? Ever see the Lego movie?

How long did it take you to figure out all those anagrams? All the time it took me to put "anagram generator" into google! I'm showing my age I guess

You realize that Alpha Protocol is absolutely nothing like PoE or Deadfire, right? I mean, you might enjoy it regardless, but IMO it's among Obsidian's weakest offerings (the other being Dungeon Siege III, for very different reasons). If you mean that Deadfire makes you want to check out Obs' other games then I'd suggest starting with Fallout: New Vegas. IMO it's their Magnum Opus. Neverwinter Nights 2 and its expansions are also good, but a bit rough around the edges in terms of camera / controls (though both can be tweaked to preference through .ini files) and you might want some mods to improve the archaic UI. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a very interesting take on Star Wars and The Force but, again, mods are recommended to restore cut content and flesh out the ending. South Park: The Stick of Truth is a lot of fun, well polished, and something completely different than all of the above. IMHO, KOTOR II is the the best thing they've ever done so far. It's buggy as **** and virtually unplayable without the mods to fix it, but once that's done it is one of the best Star Wars stories ever told, period.

....I actually like some degree of randomized loot. I know, I'm a heathen.

Awesome! It's one of the best weapons in the game, so kudos.

People seem to take Tekehu too seriously. I'd find his self love obnoxious if it wasn't expressed with humour and/or if he was actually arrogant towards other people/if it wasn't obvious he feels insecure/overwhlemed by what's expected of him. OTOH I find people annoying who others don't, so maybe he's just not their cup of tea. Maia, for instance I legit cannot get behind, so much so I didn't recruit her at all my last pt. On the other hand, I'm surprised that a whiney person like Alistair from Dragon Age could be so beloved by his respective fanbase. For Tekehu, it seems that the things that are funny about him get him disliked. But hey, I don't know the entire PoE fanbase. I only just got here. Alistair was a whiny bastard and I hate him. Now Anders, on the other hand, he and I had some *great* times slaughtering Templars.

I dunno, I didn't see her as evil tbh. She had pretty good reasons to be bitter. I rarely see people as truly evil though. Imo even Thaos thought he was some kind of good guy, doing what he thought was necessary. Why would Durance be evil? From a pro Eothas perspective? Agreed. Her entire family was slaughtered by a riotous mob while she was a child, and she spent her life murdering those very same people. Now the fact that she wasn't picky about who *else* were in the houses she burned may be seen as evil, but it can also be seen as returning what she got; none of those people cared about the children in her families house when they burned it to the ground.

Yes, give a character "my" weapon and run free. Run free with the wind! Did you pay a weapon-making tier and create Frostseeker? Because if so, thank you!

I thought Kraken is in the underwater dungeon, and it apears only if you try to dismatle the machines in incorrect order. Not sure. I just know I turned of the side machines before turning of the main one and he did not apear, facility was turnd off and sunk, no one could ever use it again, end of story. It is the underwater dungeon, but for me it appeared as soon as I told Galawain to **** off and that I was gonna shut down the machine.

If you're a rogue, and you put a DoT on an enemy, then when that DoT ticks it breaks your invis.

Game is really easy atm. Paly and some int inspirations should make the fight easy. Fampyrs are the hardest fights in the game, but they are nowhere near what for example Vitracks could do in Original POE if you didn't cc them first, that was insta wipe.... The Kraken is *way* harder. Also a few lvl 20 ship captains gave me way worse problems. Never had an issue with Vithracks in PoE 1. I'm not just trying to be contradictory. I think a big part of the problem is that the different difficulty settings are tuned very unevenly, so you end up with very different experiences for people at different levels of playing ability. Classic is harder for people who are at the Classic skill level than PotD is for people who are PotD players, basically.
