Yeah it is a bit disappointing. I was hoping Obsidian would manage to create some more exciting Rogue high level abilities. The main thing that put me off Rogues in PoE was not that they were weak (they weren't really) it was that their abilities just didn't appeal to me.

On the other hand healing seems more important than it was in PoE and Priests are very good at it. On the other other hand Xoti seems better suited to Priesting than Durance.

Thanks for the hard work to those who went to the effort of screen capping these. Looks like some very interesting items and Obsidian certainly seem to have learnt the lesson of vanilla PoE's rather mundane items. The staff looks interesting, though until we know how much it scales with Mysticism it'll be hard to say whether it's really good (if it's 1% per point then it'd probably cap out at around 25-30%, depending on other sources of bonus Mysticism, which is pretty decent). If I were being pedantic I'd say crossbows fire bolts or quarrels, not arrows

Sure, but then why worry about achievements: test the combo and if you like it start a new game where you don't cheat.

How does giving yourself 10k experience help you decide which multiclass to pick?

Only the "iroll20s" command and commands that need it. The Cosmic pets don't need it apparently.

Power Level 9 summoning spell that summons a giant beast aspect of Galawain. I'm a sucker for summoning spells so it's very tempting.

Oh I thought you meant something unique to his subclass. I assume L4wlight meant his sub was bad compared to a vanilla Chanter.

Constant AoE buff for free and a second renewable resource for Foe AoE offensive spells is disappointing? You’re hard to please. Huh? As far as I can tell he gets some cross class spells that he can cast as invocations and loses access to summoning spells. What constant AoE buff and second renewable resource do you mean?

It's not unheard of, but it's getting rarer and rarer.

Maybe that's where the confusion about whether it was 20% or 30% came from.

You are a man of exquisite taste.

Same. For me 8 is the floor on how low I'll dump a stat.

To answer PatrioticChief's question, though I am far from the best theorycrafter, I'd be inclined to say Might, Dexterity and Perception are the three most important stats for a Monk, with Constitution in there depending on your build and subclass (more important for Helwalker, less for Shattered Pillar).

True, but if 10 is average and 5 is clumsy what's 3?

Obsidian said they'd work on it. I suspect they'll end up releasing these items as a freeLC at some point after release and that's when the GoG people will get them.

The game itself describes Dexterity 5 as clumsy and 10 as average so I don't think that's true.

I don't think anyone's finished it on stream. Cohh's had it longest and he hasn't yet.

Ah okay.

If they wanted to hide something wouldn't have given the game to CohhCarnage (and others) several days ago for him to livestream, which he had been doing every day for around eight hours. I suspect the lack of reviews is down to the length of the game (can't review the story unless you've played it through). My guess is reviewers have had the game for the same amount of time as Cohh.

Or there will be a bunch of codes in the reviews that are inevitably coming in the next couple of days, as well as launch Tweets by various Obsidian folks.

I always feel bad about GoG. I'd like to support the Steam alternative but I just find Steam so convenient having everything in one place and I'm already heavily invested in Steam. There's a reason I haven't played any of the newer Bioware games: it's not because they're bad (they might be) but because I don't want Origin.

Nope. You start with (basically) no gear.

Yep, so he might very well return (unless you gave it to Llengrath).

Good news:
