2.0 Challenges: Combine with Berath's Blessings?

[omgFIREBALLS]

I'm going to assume the answer is no, because it'd obviously make the challenges easier and it doesn't seem intended in the UI that you should be able to. However, I found a way to do that anyway.

 

1) Click New Game.

2) Select the blessings you want.

2b) Possibly need to also set it to PotD and scaling, all, only upwards, I did those out of habit.

3) Cancel! The game, like the North, remembers (your choices of blessings). You can see this if you click New Game again.

4) Click the imp head to start a challenge game instead, and it will start with the blessings you chose.

 

P.S. Even though I didn't actually leave my cabin yet I am certain it has actually started challenge games for me (with the blessings), since I cannot pause and there's a challenge icon by the saves.

 

P.P.S. Even if a fix might take a while I would love to know ASAP if the intent is that challenges and blessings should be combinable or not.

Hi omgFIREBALLS,

 

I'll send this issue along to our developers and see if this is intended.

 

Thanks for posting!

Out of curiosity, are you on GOG or Steam, as I'm not even seeing the option for the challenges on Steam (both on Win 10 and on OS X).

 

EDIT

 

Ohhhh, I see what you're supposed to do.  I need to click that imp's head at the very bottom of the info box.

 

Huh.

 

Yeah, sorry Obsidian but that is REALLLLLLLY counter-intuitive and might want to be looked at. :/

Yeah, I had to ask around to learn it myself.

Tbh I'd like to be able to enable Berath Blessings, Berath Challenge and Magran Challenge at the same time.

 

Thanks for workaround)

[omgFIREBALLS]

So would I, but I'm not gonna get used to it if it's not intended ^^

[Zap Gun For Hire]

Looks like this wasn't intended, as I finally got around to trying this on the official 2.0 patch and this back door enabling of Berath's Blessings isn't working anymore. 

Expected, but still a shame.  If only for the lack of the fine items seller in Port Maje. :\

Indeed, he said somewhat cryptically...

I'm italian but just the word 'Work - around' explains itself meaning

 

'Here' is not properly 'around'
