I've recently discovered how much respeccing pain I can save myself through console commands. Right now though, I find myself stuck. I have adjusted the Mechanics and Athletics scores of one character just fine, and then I went to work on a second one, reducing her Arcana and Alchemy with the intent of putting those points in Sleight of Hand. The final part is what I can't seem to pull off. FindGameData for "sleight" returns (among other things), what seems to be the relevant string: Sleight Of Hand (SkillGameData) But, if I use Skill Companion_P_Echo Sleight Of Hand 6 it complains it doesn't accept 5 parameters. Now, the FindGameData search did not have underscores in that particular result, but I tried Skill Companion_P_Echo Sleight_Of_Hand 6 too, and then it complained it couldn't find a GameData object of type SkillGameData with that name. I also tried just Sleight with the same result. To be super clear here, I was able to adjust Echo's Arcane and Alchemy scores just fine. She is not my Watcher, so that part should not be the problem. Is there perhaps a nerdier version of a space I need to use, one that makes it consider Sleight Of Hand a single parameter? Or what can I do, other than give myself extra points elsewhere and just respec at an inn to put them in SoH?

You wanna say that to Theldurin? (Admittedly this might not entertain you/anyone else here, but when I read that, I just had to :P)

We might have a doubly demented warlord on our hands. One who conquered the entire continent of the incontinent. I was thinking about aniport. Sounds like any port, as in, any port in a storm. But I cannot turn it into a good pun

On your first animancy teleport (portmanteau wanted!) experiment, where you're sent somewhere into Rymrgand's realm, a voice says something like: I conquered every city in the Grey Lands! They will remember my name. And every time I hear it, I can't help but smile about how wrong she is, because I've never even heard of the Grey Lands to begin with, much less anyone conquering them. Of course not every lore/history tidbit is relayed to the player, so I'm curious here. Are the Grey Lands referenced anywhere else? Is our deceased conqueror correct, for the time being, that she lives on in memory?

I can't speak for the full theorycraft of single vs. dual wield (I believe DW is considered better), but know that you also get +12 accuracy for single wielding (no talent needed); nothing in the off-hand and not a two-hander. And yeah, you might find the game in general doesn't necessarily encourage stereotypical approaches.

I browsed all 16 pages on Nexus without finding anything that addresses this. Especially as I play no rest (but I had this problem before too), combined with a fetish for auras and chants, the list of beneficial effects can easily grow all the way down to the action bars and portraits and beyond. This makes it difficult/impossible to see my afflictions without opening the character sheets and browsing through an even longer list. I would really like it if the following were not displayed on the combat tooltip: - Wardstones - Active modals - Fighter stances - Food/shrine buffs And, since I've been a really* good boy this year, I'm going to make a few more wishes to have the following also hidden: - Luminous Adra Potion - Adratic Glow - Weird kit-specific "buffs" like Troubadour and Unbroken (so my class has not changed since the last fight? thanks for letting me know, game!) - Watcher only: Courtesan buff, Alchemic Brawn/Guile/Wits, Dawnstar's Blessing, Nature's Resolve As a much simpler solution, it'd also work quite well if afflictions were simply displayed first, or if there were a separate column for them. I suppose this ended up sounding like a mod request, and I'd be much obliged if anyone wanted to make one, but I'm mostly hoping one already exists that will help with some of these problems. Just to give you an idea of how bad it is... and this isn't even my Watcher:

I play almost exclusively with mercs, and I usually get bored of playthroughs before Ukaizo, so I can't speak for what permanently upsets this or that party member. Note however, that you didn't merely choose to ride to Ukaizo on a ghost ship. You ceded the island to Aeldys. You practically said, Huana aren't getting it, VTC aren't getting it, RDC aren't getting it, Aeldys is. Choosing your means of getting to Ukaizo is a big decision.

Another forced rest: The crew event where you're asked to make an offering to Ondra. If you solve it with prayer, you will rest. Tossing money overboard is fine.

Okay, with the aid of the very detailed wiki page on console commands I was able to solve this! In case anyone else has this exact or a similar problem, the commands are (after enabling the console): RemoveStatusEffect Companion_P_PARTYMEMBERSNAMEHERE Disoriented_SE_PerceptionDebuff RemoveStatusEffect Companion_P_PARTYMEMBERSNAMEHERE Disoriented_SE_RecoveryDebuff

Nope, didn't work.

The debuff shows up among her active effects, giving the standard penalties. I don't know when or where I got it. Removing all her equipment does not remove it. Applying a perception inspiration does not remove it. Resting does fix it, but I'm playing no rest. Is there a console command for this? Or any other tricks?

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried gellarde and ekera at the same time.

This isn't quite what you asked for, but if you're looking to play a "time is on my side" setup... I used to be playing mass tank parties that outlasted opponents forever if need be, while permanent DoT's killed them off. The damage dealer was paladin (Brand Enemy) / rogue (Gouging Strike). Brand Enemy cannot miss, and Gouging Strike is easy to land with arquebus modal. Once the DoT's are up, switch to a defensive weapon set and put on your best "u mad?" trollface while your opponents futilely try to kill your tanky-healy setup before they bleed out. Specifically, the party would be something like, five paladins (shieldbearers), two multid to chanter (troubadour), one to fighter (unbroken), one to rogue (can't remember kit anymore) and one to cipher (vanilla cipher before psion existed, then psion). Three passive healing auras (Exalted Endurance, Ancient Memory, Pale Light), and tons of Lay on Hands with built-in cheat death.

Iron Man: Some form of Barbarian/Monk? Barbarian for leaps (fake flight), monk for punches.

I mean spam stopping the merges with a ranged instant AoE interrupt Also, no focus problems there.

Yes, there can. Also, I think this might be my favorite megaboss. The psion unique ability finally got to shine for me, and boy did it shine here.

Pretty much as soon as you get to Port Maje, with whatever gold you have, if memory serves. Especially if you use the gold blessing.

I nearly always play mass shieldbearers and I don't recall that I couldn't solve this without going aggressive, but it may be playstyle differences that cause me to always be able to pass with skill/rep checks. Usually, if I want to kill someone (like Cotta) but picking a fight through dialogue results in aggressive disposition, I just manually attack them without talking first. Which, obviously, is not aggressive behavior.

The Gunpowder Bathhouse would never rip honest chanters and ciphers off like this.

Y'all just going to let Boeroer get away with rounding pi to 3.144? How does 3.1416 round to 3.144, hmm? I can no longer see his beard as being mythic.

Hahaha, barrels

Gellarde! Watching you whack away was quite a sight. What is Shroud of the Phantom?

Nemnok is a comedy villain and should not be thought of as a serious power figure in the Deadfire. He could certainly have an ending slide, but it would have to be in the spirit of entertaining megalomania, not killing people or whatever (which besieging Neketaka rather implies). Left to his own devices, Nemnok at long last learned to both read and spell his own name. The Drowned Barrows echoed with his manic laughter for weeks.

Uhh... this has never "worked" for me, and it's my understanding that all you can get are the two buffs you mentioned (given the right choices in PoE1). I just loaded a few post-Hasongo saves in playthroughs where I chose the Benevolent Soul background and no watcher has any Hylea's Boon. Got her food of course, but no buff in Hasongo.

Oh, I thought 0.5 rounds meant it would expire at a certain point during the round (after everyone within a certain threshold of initiative had acted). 30 int sounds right if it rounds.
