Post 3.0: Paladins.....
Gromnir replied to Brimsurfer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
there is myriad options for avoiding those debilitating afflictions which is relative infrequent encountered during the course o' the game. +10 accuracy will be useful every encounter. so, if one is being actual objective and measuring use o' the relative paladin powhaz... and rp is wholly subjective. each order gots 2 disfavored dispositions. aside: 'cause o' how ai now works, minor arcane spell reflection cast on party member with worst will save is a hilariously effective solution in most charm/confuse instances. HA! Good Fun! -
HA! Good Fun!

Unfortunately no, Tyranny is only 10% off. I got myself White March Part I and II. They are 40% off. I guess this means I won and when you think about that's what christmas is all about: winning. he can wait 'til next christmas and likely get tyranny for +40% reduced. game has only been out a month or so, yes? don't expect much o' a reduction during the first quarter after release. merry christmas... or a belated hogwatchnight. HA! Good Fun!

Post 3.0: Paladins.....
Gromnir replied to Brimsurfer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
if you like an order, then it is the best. ... 'course the truth o' the matter is Frermàs mes Canc Suolias is actual best for a striker paladin... making this kinda a trick question. otherwise, we would say the best option for a tanky paladin during the first half o' the game would be Darcozzi Paladini. the liberating exhortation accuracy bonus is just too good compared to other options early in the game. latter in the game we would give the nod to Shieldbearers of St. Elcga as accuracy bloat largely nullifies the Darcozzi Paladini benefits. Bleak Walkers is a darn solid option from start to finish for a sinister tank, but later patches reduced the number o' foes who can be frightened. HA! Good Fun! ps if you are playing w/o a priest, then Kind Wayfarers deserve serious consideration as "the best" option. -
So you want to play an incest simulator? You sick, sick puppy. if one genuine wants such, they can get it from most any japanese dating game. *shudder* HA! Good Fun!

durance staff bug
Gromnir posted a question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
the priest-specific talent, incomprehensible revelation, is not providing an accuracy bonus with durance's staff. edit: after a reload, the staff is now receiving the correct accuracy boost from incomprehensible revelation. HA! Good Fun! -
given how slow is the reload on the arquebus, the difference 'tween 9 dex and say 14 dex would be largely unnoticeable in all but the longest battles o' the game. nevertheless, would still be a fine alpha-strike weapon. and can always opt for sword and shield if the dex is too onerous for you. for us, the curious thing were giving durance potential one o' the best staves in the game. HA! Good Fun!

because traps were having ridiculous high accuracy when combined with mechanics... and petrify had a higher damage multiplier... and the adra weren't immune to petrify... and there were jolting touch exploits. etc. has been a few changes since release. HA! Good Fun! ps near release there were a few videos o' petrified adra being killed in 4-5 hits by solo rogues. were funny and sad at same time. pps early release, it were possible to fight the dragon w/o aggro o' all the adds.
-
actually, at release, traps were way overpowered. solo rogues killing adra dragons with nothing but traps? poe traps almost immediate got nerfed, which led to all kinds o' confusion as the already opaque trap math became more muddled. we were aware that traps in white march were having different accuracy, but we never looked close enough to see the cause. to the genesis poster: thanks. good find re: which traps is broken. HA! Good Fun!

doubt it matters, but it does lead to curious problems. am thinking we mentioned previous how our sister also went to berkeley. she lived in a place called rochdale along with a bunch o' other women in one o' the 4-bedroom units. were typically +6 women living in the unit and for two years our sister were the only heterosexual 'mongst them. for various reasons, Gromnir visited our sister frequent, so we became exposed to nuances o' the lgbt community in the bay area circa 1990. anyways, one o' the rochdale roommates went through gender reassignment and her transition were smooth save for one small (big) problem. see, jane were in love with mary (not their actual names) and mary liked jane. unfortunate, when jane became a john, mary lost interest in john. from john we learned a fair amount 'bout gender reassignment and the day-to-day issues o' a woman trying to live as a man post surgery, but more than anything we felt profound sympathy for john. before surgery, mary assured john how she would love him no matter what he looked like on the outside. watch john pine after mary were not the least bit comical. were terrible sad. john were so painful lonely, and when we knew him, he hadn't yet learned the manly art o' internalizing emotion. just sad.

yeah. best not to take any of these threads by _______ seriously. now for a complete random musical interlude. HA! Good Fun! ps as a more curious aside, when Gromnir were looking for oldie daffy duck videos on youtube, we got a curious option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66tbBU35I3o were not a "recommended for you" option. ... am not sure who should be offended, ted nugent or tex avery.

suggestions: 1) make less 2) skip the meat, lettuce, tomatoes and rice 3) 'cook' beans layer dip becomes a mess very quick and does not save well. make less than you likely planned to, and avoid those ingredients which will punish you for failure to consume quick. if you have guests, then your guests is also less likely to eat once it looks like a steaming puddle o' vomit. less. use homemade pico de gallo 'stead o' lechuga and/or tomatoes... well-drained pico de gallo. very well-drained. we would also use guacamole and likely two different shredded cheeses. not nacho as again is only gonna serve to make the dip messier and less reusable. cheddar and jack... or maybe cotija? olives... or not. jalapenos... or not. cook your beans and then top with a cheese layer. cold beans suck, so cook however you would typical cook. add a can o' chilies and a whole lotta hot sauce? great. whatever. after cheese, add sour cream, then guac. another layer o' cheese. top with black olives (or not) and jalapenos (or not). review: no rice. no meat. no tomatoes. no lettuce. cook your beans and worry less 'bout aesthetics as the thing will be a mess soon enough. HA! Good Fun! ps layer dip is not our favorite. like good guacamole? then make guac. like good salsa? then make salsa. like cheese? use cheese. mix everything together rare works well.

we like ryan gosling as an actor, but he gets miscast as a tough guy. looks as if they is trying to make him tough in bladerunner 2049. mistake. am knowing many people like drive. it were an okie dokie movie and had the kinda 60s/70s rough edge to it we miss. but gosling as a tough guy? he woulda' spent half his life trapped in a locker with his butt cheeks taped together if he had gone to Gromnir's high school. HA! Good Fun!

we can name more than a couple o' good real-time with pause games we has played in the last ten years, including da:o at one end o' the temporal spectrum and poe at the other. is as easy to find bad tb as bad rtwp... perhaps easier. get into some kinda silly tangential debate 'bout what games is good is not something in which we is gonna indulge, but sales seem to suggest people prefer rtwp regardless o' sharp's opinion, y'know given how the biggie budget triple a games has, til recent, been almost exclusive rtwp. again, our preference is tb, but am hardly ignorant o' the fact many people like rtwp. is many excellent rtwp games. we prefer tb, but as 'tween bad tb and good rtwp, am gonna take good rtwp every time. HA! Good Fun!

Self-censorship is the worst kind of censorship. am pretty sure that inability to self-censor is symptomatic o' mental illness. just sayin'. HA! Good Fun!

Gromnir prefers tb. our preference does not mislead us regarding the rather obvious conclusion based on all those preference polls and sales figures that gamers in general prefer rtwp. in spite o' our personal preference, we do not see some kinda inherent tactical weakness o' rtwp. we like good tb. bad tb can be soul-numbing. bad rtwp can be a mindless clickfest. even so, in all those preference polls, we vote tb. always a minority. HA! Good Fun!

The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Gromnir replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Way Off-Topic
and yet go ahead and even imply that perhaps, maybe, a woman might be behaving a bit peculiar 'cause o' pms or her period and wait for the predictable unpleasant reaction. am not a woman. *shrug* am nevertheless baffled by the near universal experience for pre menopausal women, which we, as men, must needs simultaneously (impossibly) sympathize with and ignore. do not be dismissive of cycle. do not suggest the cycle has impact 'pon behavior. conclusion: almost 1/2 half the world population needs to just sack up 'bout their periods. kidding. ... sorta. HA! Good Fun! ps is almost 1/2 'cause while women outnumber men, quite a few is too young or too old to need deal with the cycle. -
would be easier to take tig serious if he wasn't comparing the tactical combat sophistication and depth o' poe and bg... and finding poe wanting. HA! Good Fun!

the lordling in question is a problem for us. is not a matter o' difficulty-- quite the opposite. midway through poe we are awash in money, but such is not the case early. not enough coin early in the game for our needs. there is a solution to our early-game poe pecuniary problems which has us largely ignoring any kinda rp sensibilities: go to lordlings keep and kill everything. plate armour is valuable, and there is dozens o' potential corpses with plate armour at raedric's hold. one o' the first things we do in a typical poe game is to head to the lordling's domicile and transform it into an abattoir/cash register. challenge level is relative low and the funds from our personal Project Mayhem keep us well supplied for much o' the early portion o' the game. is not good rp, but is just too ez to resist. HA! Good Fun!
