Holy **** RPG Codex were kinda tough, they weren't saving bullets for this one.

I managed to build Eder as an offensive tank, he killed a lot stuff with his charges and it was set on Path of the Damned difficulty.

Regarding the OP question: I have mixed feelings, I agree that having easy access to a weapon/gear that will close your build early game is awesome fun, but you kinda murder exploration and item discovery in the rest of the game. So some stuff should have some power upgrade from separate items so you feel that joy of finding something new and powerful. But at the same time you can't make the power level too noticeable or you will end up having "Oh this build here is for early game, this one for mid game and this one for end game" and kills the character identity.

Thanks, just done a playthrough on PotD and made me wonder hahaha. Saw myself more of a Kind Wayfarer or a Shieldbearer of St. Elcga by the end of the game.

Forgive me if this question has been already made and answered(Just made a simple search on the search bar with the words "Paladin Order"), but starting a new game in PoE2 will I be able to change my paladin order? For example I started my paladin as a Goldpact Knight, but given his choices and thoughts RP wise I think in PoE2 he would be in a complete different order given how he behaved. P.S: Sorry for my english, not my native language.

No thanks, don't want a meme game.

What the hell is going on in this thread?

I'd say Rogue+Paladin = Inquisitor

Since Obsidian worked with Paizo, I wouldn't be surprised if they released as a campaign setting for Pathfinder.

Too much money spent, rather have a better gameplay experience instead of a VA.

1) Weapon styles: Gain skills based on the weapon you are using. All spells, attacks and class skills gain a new way to use depending if you are using a wand, sword, hammer, axe, staf and such 2) Team/Flanking attacks: Everyone in this game, if they manage to surround someone they can execute flanking tactics and have 2 characters have to do their action at the same time against X enemy flanked 3)Improved Blood and Gore: Have a death animation for every kind of damage, Slashing, Blunt, Piercing and Elemental damage. For example: If you have killed an enemy with a slashing damage ability you can trigger decapitation, dismember animations, blunt you smash their heads into bits or go more sadistic where you smash someone knees and finish with a overhead strike in their chest. Ah if only animation didn't take a lot of money, animation and patience >:

My issue was never the presentation of the art, my beef is with the animation overall, the character felt really robotic doing their attack animations and killing a creature felt like "Welp I'm dead let me lay here", unless you manage to gib then and it was just flying meat festival, no body parts included. Any plans to improve on that regard?

Eh...Well unless they manage to pull a romance where isn't just some quick ego masturbation and removing the npc motives just for the sake of the player achievement, they can go for it.

Can we have a stretch with Blood and Gore to please Khorne with limbs and skulls ?

Just sad about Chris not showing up, really enjoyed Durance and the Grieving Mother >:

Agree with most of it, by the way congratulation completing it on PotD. But regarding threat system, its to avoid people always use the same tunnel funnel strategy making healers almost useless, also if I'm an archer and I see a mofo throwing lightning bolts and fireballs from his fingertips, of course that I'm going to take him down first

Then I'm afraid you'll be using words without knowing their meaning I'm being sarcastic

Japanese games are horrible... If Japanese games are horrible how would you classify the hipster pretentious turds we see on the indie market? ~~Art~~

My problem with the FF videos (and I'm a woman saying this) is that she has openly admitted that she hasn't played all of the games she reviews. I would agree with you completely if she were doing game reviews. The trope videos, as I understand them, are trying to identify recurring patterns over a large number of games. What makes you think she is upset? She is doing cultural criticism - looking at games to find patterns and pointing them out. If anything, it would be better to hire people who had never seen the games to objectively look for examples of the tropes: 1. Provide a standard to identify the various tropes that a disinterested person could follow to identify examples of the tropes 2. Get a bunch of people to count the tropes in various games and cross check that different annotators give the same answers by having several people do the annotations 3. Update the annotator guidelines if the people don't agree and redo the annotations with new people when necessary 4. Crunch the numbers That would give a clearer signal than somebody who plays the games and is emotionally invested in them. It would make a good kickstarter project for someone wanting to uncover the truth about these tropes whatever that truth turns out to be. Sorry man, but if you wanna critique something like games you have to actually play it or you will end up making mistakes like saying that Hitman series is about murdering women and hiding then in dumpsters, instead of making the least aggressive approach and achieve the murder like a professional Hitman. Other observation is, of the 16 targets only 4 are women. Killing the narrative that the games is violence against women.(Blood Money)

My thoughts regarding the keep is: -Could really use more invasions -Seriously more invasions, I just got attacked 3 times in my entire playthrough -Could be more populated, traveling commoners walking around, using tavern services, buying in your shops... -More interactive events where I actually need to go back to the keep to solve it besides invasions

The boobplate was already explained, its not usable at all, creates a huge opening in the armor to get stabbed since the round part will be more fragile.

For those planning a Kenshiro run

Seriously I wasn't joking about the hooligan thing. Can't we just play games and talk about games? Is too much to ask for? Am I being unreasonable?

At this point its just trolls using this as an opportunity to ****post the game to oblivion...

I got no issue with resting mechanics, just need a downside by resting in a place where you recently took aggressive actions. Ambushes, something that I'd like to see added in the expansion.
