Answermancer Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So does that mean that unique items are not enchantable? No, they are, they just might have unique abilities that you can't enchant onto other, mundane items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersong Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That way if someone just wants to keep an item competitive and viable throughout the game, they have the means to do that instead of needing to get rid of the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malekith Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) So does that mean that unique items are not enchantable? They are. But you can't add the unique abilities yourself. In BG2 terms, you can make Celestial Fury a +5 weapon and tweak it's elecrtical damage on hit , but you won't be able to give it Magic Registance or Vorpal hit.

Stun Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Josh: That was very sweet news, indeed! Indeed. it's like we had a black and white picture yesterday, and then today someone came in and added color to it! We just went from pessimism to optimism in 4.5 seconds! Now if we could just get them to slow the combat speed down a bit so we can enjoy seeing the effects of our enchanted weapons in action, this game would jump several more spots closer to Ideal.

You can bind a key for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we start tuning a lot of values, we need to get the basic bugs fixed. The next update to the BB should clear out the most frustrating aspects of simply selecting, moving, and executing commands reliably. Then we can look at overall combat speed tuning, among other things. 17 twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcraft 2 is a pretty good example where fast tempo combat actually feels really good just because how responsive the game is. In Baldur's Gate 2 the game speed was just too slow - I always crank the FPS up in the config just so that the game runs faster (destroying some cinematics, but defo worth it) and feels more responsive. Will the next patch contain the pathfinding fixes that devs have been talking about? And also, did you cut the grass swaying out of the game or is it just out of the beta?

Yup, this is why after playing 30 minutes with this I thought "I'm reserving judgement on all the systems until it gets minimally playable". Lots of interesting discussions going on, but even with a combat system designed by God himself people would still not be having much fun and try to blame it on the combat system.
