When there are broken quests, I find "balance" to be less important, as it is subjective. I have already read a few posts from people saying it's too easy. I care not so much about being challenged in combat, unless it's a superboss. I care alot when I cannot finish a quest or the plot suddenly leaps ahead. Seems to me there is too much focus on combat balance and I would prefer overall game balance.

I am a backer and didn't get that one either.. ask me if I really care..

You can pray to her and not take her blessing. Are you so devout that you refuse even to speak to other gods?

Yeah. I hope this is an oversight that will be fixed - makes it tricky to "compare". Item values don't show in hover anymore, either.

Brothel bonuses no longer stack - you can only have one at a time. Balance sucks.

So that's what "dropbox" is. Before, during and after saves: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xtd7tj3k71d6uiv/Northweald.zip?dl=0

This game is on Steam. You can gift games to other people on Steam. It is a possiblity and would partly, at least, explain why they're so upset.

Whelp, let's see if I can keep her alive long enough to cast more than 2 spells and I'll get back to you.

I saw that but her max was 95... I'll have to confirm if her max went up, I guess... Still that statement, to me, implies she should only lose 25% not 50%...

1. I've found the "hunter pets" to be the first thing that consistently dies. 2. There is a pause "button" and speed settings. This game is real-time combat... BG1 & 2 were turn-based so the comparison is moot. There were also no grazes.. This game also has a difficulty setting - have you heard that combat in this game is challenging? 3. If you turn off auto-attack what else are they supposed to do? 4. Some classes are familiar, some classes are completely new. I guess you either don't like the new ones or don't like how they've treated the familiar ones? You can modify the Chanters chants so "he" will sing more than one verse - hell, you might even create a song for him if you take a few minutes to really look at the options available to the class as he levels. 5. Refer to 1 and 4. Also, ranged weapons (hell, everything really) have a range, and it's not to the edge of the fog as they were in BG. 6. Some of these people were involved in the making of BG. 7. IMHO if you started this game with the mindset that you would have to learn a bit about it, you might realize what a gift you were given. But I guess it's easier to rage.

a level 12 Grieving Mother went from 70 focus to 35. Is this intentional?

"How can I have burned my bridges with the Crucible Knights when I did all their quests and saved them from their own forge knights?" Because they are a fickle bunch. They wouldn't give me any more quests after I became an inadvertant ally of the Dozens. Might be a bug in your case.

So your status, from your character sheet, with the other 2 factions is neutral?

What's your status with the other factions? I "blew" my chance with the Crucible Knights by (mistakenly) becoming an "ally" of The Dozen.. and it's pretty easy to become a troublemaker with House Doemenal.

Twin Elms reputation is used in a few quests there. If you want negative rep, gain Berath's favor. And it's not so hard to piss off House Doemenal either... By the way, OP: if you had gained no favor with Twin Elms it wouldn't even show up on your screen; it's a scale, as Doppelschwert says.

I talk to Cwenith and eventually decide to take the quest. I'd completed the other two or three quests in the area. I run around Twin Elms to get enough positivity to allow for the option to arrest the Captain. I ask the Twin Fangs hunter about surrender and if she wants him dead. I talk to him (Captain) and tell him he'll be a prisoner in my dungeon. He's a bit too happy about it, but oh well.. He walks down the path, fade scene...everyone's gone but my party. Wasn't the Twin Fangs hunter supposed to be waiting for me? Hmm... I would attach saves but I cannot get even one below the 1mb limit. The output log.txt is attached but it did take a while for me to realize the quest had not actually completed.. Northweald.zip

Hi Almostdead, Do you remember what triggered the blinded icon to appear? Such as fighting an NPC or some sort of trap. Thanks! [1.04 -steam] I was in the catacombs, chapter 3, going after the bounty.. First run through, the "combat" didn't want to end - had a few (ineffective!) priest spells going to counteract the negative spell affects like paralyzed and blind - everything was dead but the spell was still cycling and there were no countdown timers on the neg effects (fear & paralyze). -reload- Second run through, same fight, things seemed to work as they should but now I noticed my main char has what I will now call the blind-icon bug. Resting, reload, restart doesn't help. It was a spell the NPC cast on the party. And I did activate a trap while in combat? I didn't place any traps and there were no traps so it must have been a/that spell Gromnir mentions...

That's what I'm 'talkin about.

Cost? I doubt it. This game was billed as iso from the start. Easier, I'm sure. And us fanboi's have NO PROLEMs with isometric graphics. I am currently playing another other iso game and I love the fact that I don't have to worry about camera angles/bobs/etc. It will be plenty "modern" without all those "newfangled" distractions.. And I have no fears about story. Here's hoping Obsidian keeps with it's promise to us gamers that are footing the bill.

"..offline mode.." What's this? I don't see anything in the settings for this...

You don't need a permanent internet connection. I have just been 2 weeks without an internet connection at all, and I was playing Steam games the whole time. Do tell..

I do not LIEK that I have to have a persistent internet connection (STEAM) to play a PC game. Wasn't like that last time. Won't ever buy a STEAM game again. Not w/o royalties. That said, there is a lot to love about this game.

I don't much care for other platforms or options, but if it ensures vociferous encouragement/engagement, I'm there.

I saw your influence in the dialogue but lost it in STEAM I hope the relationship with Bethesda is worth it.

The same could be said of you. Is there ever any other point you try to make other than this game (and Obsidian) sucks?
