[So shipping of physical discs is delayed because they wanna fit as many patches as possible on it]

Oh noes. I can't live without my physical copy of the game and especially can't play the game without it! Oh wait, I just finished my playthrough.

 

By the way, your old school experience shouldn't involve a forum to whine about the issue and your game should come out on floppy disks. If you want to go old school, you should definately write an angry letter to Obsidian.

 

It's not about not being able to live without it.

 

It is now a month + since release and I still don't have everything I paid for (well in advance). I don't know about you, but there is a limit to how long I'm prepared to wait.

[How do I separate savegames (playthroughs) in this game ?]

Each character you make has its own savegames (quick and autosave too). So your best bet would be starting a new char..

[I don't like that the right way to play this game is: sneak+fast mode]

Autopause for "hidden object found" doesn't work for traps?

It works just fine..

 

Also looking for traps/hidden stuff while sneaking is fine. It's a trade of.

 

But I would welcome a way to play without having to sneak all of the time. Say use the survival skill to increase your vision.. each level gives you 5% bigger vision, so you can spot monsters before they spot you.

[Stupid question - How to raise downed characters in a fight? (0 endurance)]

You can craft Scrolls of Revival. Not that  difficult to make either..

[Master List of Talents that do not work correctly]

I'll add 'Dangerous Implement'

It works by giving you a smal bonus to damage with wands etc. and doing damage to you with each shot.

 

The problem is that is does damage to your HEALTH as well as endurance.. making it perfectly useless, especially for wizards who normally don't boast much health to begin with

[PoE - Feature Requests]

I want a spell/NPC/mechanic/whatever that exchanges the visual appearance of two head gears (hats, helms, hoods..)

Or exchanges the stats.. which is the same thing.

 

Silly, I know, but I want a stylish pimp hat with some stats on my rogue.

[Simple questions - Simple answers]

Anything that raises your accuracy (DEX, bonuses) will also increase your your chance to crit. Read the ingame help for the exact formulae how grazes/hits/criticals are calculated.

 

Beside that, there are talents and spells that specifically increase % crit chance.

 

Ranged is good for several things:

-opening hit from stealth

-taking down enemy spellcasters - if you can't reach them with  a melee

-avoiding aoe

-drake fire

-going against enemies that can pretty much one shot your squishier damage dealers

etc,

 

Of course there is the full bear rangers terror party that can pretty much steamroll anything in the game.

 

You can pretty much get by with 2 melee chars to hold the line and the rest is ranged of various presuasions.
