Which attributes are most relevant for story?
Resolve, Intellect and Perception show up a lot. That said, Resolve and Intellect often give you a pair of largely identical (but mutually exclusive) choices - so if you just have one of those maxed, you'll be fine.

In regards to Durance calling her a whore.
At what point? Without spoiling it, is it driven by our relationship or is there a physical locale? There is no "without spoiling it." Keep playing. You'll get there.

What are the highest required Mechanics skill?
You don't need higher than 10, once you factor in the gloves from the Endless Paths.

Permanent stat increases?
That's correct. Gift from the Machine will give you Cruel disposition, though.

Dual wield Rapiers vs Spears
Honestly, you should decide based less on Rapiers vs. Spears, and more based on what other 1h weapons are grouped with them under Weapon Focus. Noble gets you Rapiers alongside Maces (DR penetration is slick) and Daggers (ehhhh). Peasant gets you Spears and Hatchets (uniquely good for increasing your durability). If you think you'll need DR penetration, go for Noble. If you think you'll need extra defense, go for Hatchets. On the magic item front, spears are better off than rapiers, and maces are better off than hatchets. Personally, I'd go for spears.

Larder door - worth enchanting or worse than normal shield?
The main issue with the Larder Door is that you can't upgrade it as a weapon, so it falls badly behind in terms of accuracy and damage. Really, Bash should be a talent, and Fine/Exceptional/Superior shields should gain normal weapon benefits to damage.

Are Paladins really not that bad?
Paladins make for the best 100% pure damage-sink tanks, due to their strong Defenses. Anything else, bring a monk.

Caed Nua/Od Nua suggestion for 1.05
Oh no, you lost 24 hours in a game with no time limits.

Lack of evil companions (potential spoilers)
External principles or laws haven't had much to do with Lawful alignment since this take was established during Planescape. As for good,

Caed Nua/Od Nua suggestion for 1.05
But until the Eastern Barbican is repaired, you can't get to any of the ones past Caed Nua. Which is why you have to wait in the first place.

But you may have already explored all of those maps.

High DEX vs. Heavy Armor: How's the math?
gkathellar replied to AndreaColombo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Only way to know is to test it via frame by frame analysis. I'm not even clear that Animat Plate is an item that's actually accessible in game.

Two-handed Axe petition
That sounds more like a Peasant weapon to me. Peasant is already a scary-good weapon class, man. It doesn't need any buffs. (I am only half-joking. Hatchet and Spear is a fantastic pairing for a shield fighter.)

Just so long as we get warscythes on Adventurer. LETSGO You've already got Estoc/Poleaxe, what more could you want? Warscythes.

Lack of evil companions (potential spoilers)
Grieving Mother is most certainly a "good" person. Her alignment would probably be Neutral Good in D&D.

Is it too late for a redesign of the encounter/daily system for spellcasters?
Yes, it is.
-
Caed Nua/Od Nua suggestion for 1.05
The idea is that you sit there for a couple of days because you can't move on until it's done. But it would be irritating to make you actually wait out the days, so time instantly advances.

Unity Pro Required to Mod Pillars
Personally, I think it's a damn shame that Pillars doesn't use anything like the 2da file type. That made certain forms of simple modding much easier. I don't think that's what the OP is saying, so much as they're complaining about the fact that they will need to buy Unity if they want to do serious modding.
