Thanks for the detailed answer! Although it's not a fighter, it's a MC Wizard-Enchanter/Cipher. Does that change your advice? Is Resolve the most important tanking attribute, even if Con is very low? (at 7)

Yes, that's the plan but what about the actual combat? Is the build I outlined too impractical? I'm very worried about might/dex/con being 7, but I know people do dump stats when they know what they are doing. Problem is - I don't

I completed the game with a paladin and it was good enough, but I didn't understand how skills worked with party assist and such, and missed a lot of conversation checks. I'd like to try a very weird build based on the skill check analysis on the wiki, and some personal preference (eg, focus on magic-related stuff, antitheist so no priest). In short: Male Island Aumana from Deadfire Archipelago Aristocrat WizardEnchanter/Cipher start with 18 Per, Int, Res (leaves the other three attributes at 7, 7, 7) Make sure to cover metaphysics, arcana, religion checks for their maximum value (both with and without party assist) I think it will be fun, but I'm worried I'm too squishy. There's too much I don't understand about PoE combat. I would be ranged, obviously, but I have a few questions: what are some "must have" perks from both classes? suggestions on which armor to use? I guess I need a robe to reduce casting speed as much as possible does that low dexterity increase casting speed too much? Can I improve it somehow? I need to bring perception and intelligence to 20, to get to the highest convo checks. Will I get some permanent bonuses, or do I need to use equipment for this? I don't like temporary bonuses so food/potions don't help there any general advice on survivability?

It's Linux Mint 17.2, underneath there's an Ubuntu 14.04. I find it hard to believe nobody has 14.04: it's a Long Term Support. Any advice on anything I could to do investigate this? I've tried running it in gdb but no signal was caught, it seemed to just.. terminate: (gdb) run Starting program: /home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity PillarsOfEternity [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

I'm not able to restart it even after deleting the game content and re-installing. Would really appreciate some help - I have finished the main game but I've just started White March.

Yes, I tried to no avail.

For the second time after I haven't played for a while, I can't run the game via Steam on Linux Mint 17.2 (essentially Ubuntu 14.04). Last time I fixed it by deleting the game content and reinstalling, but it's huge so I'd like to avoid it. By running it from the terminal, nothing happens: $ ./PillarsOfEternity Set current directory to /home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity Found path: /home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity Mono path[0] = '/home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed' Mono path[1] = '/home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Mono' Mono config path = '/home/fabio/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data/Mono/etc' Also, all the shared libraries are correctly linked: $ ldd PillarsOfEternity linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffab705000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f1f0a3da000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f1f0a1bc000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f1f09fb3000) libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1 (0x00007f1f09d45000) libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/nvidia-346/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f1f099ed000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f1f096b7000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1 (0x00007f1f094ad000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f1f091a9000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f1f08ea2000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f1f08c8c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f1f088c7000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f1f0a60b000) libnvidia-tls.so.346.87 => /usr/lib/nvidia-346/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.346.87 (0x00007f1f086c3000) libnvidia-glcore.so.346.87 => /usr/lib/nvidia-346/libnvidia-glcore.so.346.87 (0x00007f1f059e5000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 (0x00007f1f057d3000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0x00007f1f055b3000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 (0x00007f1f053a9000) libXfixes.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3 (0x00007f1f051a3000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0x00007f1f04f9e000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00007f1f04d98000) Any clues?

Yep, I was interested in how much White March content was added to the original playthrough. Or said it another way: by taking my save in the Burial Isle, do I lose anything of "White March" compared to starting a new game? The answer seems to be no, thanks Katarack21.

How much does it add to the original playthrough (if anything at all)? I'm trying to decide if to use my "last save" or start a new game: I'll do the latter if there is enough new stuff
