Kilburn Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I dont understand these. Seems more like annoyances than challenges. Why not just add a button that allows you further increase the enemies stats even higher than POTD.
xzar_monty Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Because that would be a whole other kind of challenge. The challenges are very specific and each of them adds a particular kind of difficulty to the game, very different from enemy stats. It's fine if you don't understand them -- just ignore them. I find them completely understandable but also thoroughly uninteresting and have no use for them. But I think it's nice that they're there.
Wormerine Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I think it is a neat idea, and I will have to give some of them a go. I have been enjoying mutations for the coop mode of Starcraft2 quite a bit, though I felt it was done better, and it was more appropriate for a 10-15 minute mode. The reason why I didn't give any of them a go just yet, is that none look interesting enough to warrant a full playthrough.
daven Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I like the one that makes it darker. Not too interested int others. nowt

Like the taking away pause one would probably just be annoying as hell. I can think of a few that would be really cool tho. "level scale above only" Enemies scale to your level or above. "quick slot enemies" Enemies have more quick slot items. Expect them to throw grenades at you, drink more potions, use drugs etc. "champion mobs" Occasionally high level leaders will spawn with packs of enemies. They have higher level, higher stats and magical equipment. "grand master ship captains" If you defeat the experts, grand masters will spawn. Theyre very high level and will attack you on sight. They will also rush straight to a boarding fight like the player can do. Edited May 25, 2019 by Kilburn
Wormerine Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Well, there already is "scale only up" option. Those challenges aren't there for you to show off (well, unless you go for the ultimate) - they are to make things a bit more interesting for the next playthrough - it's for your own personal enjoyment only. Another key elements in developing those was how much work would it require to create one. There some really cool things one might do as an additional modifier, but they would take a bit more manpower. If you are looking for extra challenge, I am told Deadly Deadfire is pretty good:https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/43 I am not 100% sure if it works with 5.0, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

"Grand Master Ship Captains" would be more annoying than all god challenges combined. "I can think of a few that would be really cool though": can you though?

This is level scale above. meaning all enemies actually go above your level. Where are the champions in POTD? All i see is mostly trash. Yes. You would not like this since you only sink boats with cannons and your lowly weakly cipher would never be able to face a grand master in a boarding fight. Edited May 25, 2019 by Kilburn

Oh maybe you can explain to me how my bleakwalker got 1 bar of benevolent reputation even though i never once clicked a benevolent chat option. Very annoying. Every time i look at his character sheet I actually get a little angry now.
Boeroer Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 And it shows in your posts, too. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
Kilburn Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Yes my bleakwalker is now tainted by benevolence. It's terrible. What is this pathfinder game everyone is talking about. I will need to check it out.
Kilburn Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I think it was because I helped that huana guy outside the trading company get his land back. ****. and i cant reload because it's iron man. Edited May 25, 2019 by Kilburn
Boeroer Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) So you helped a guy who got screwed over and got a benevolent disposition for that? Strange... I guess Pathfinder: Kingmaker is way more reasonable than this illogical mess. You should check it out. Edited May 25, 2019 by Boeroer Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods

I thought it was only tied to the chat options. I just swapped the documents then talked to the guy, wasn't really paying attention. There's probably a more evil way to complete it.
