Other thread in catalogue is 404 because hotwheels fucked up the site.
Coming from a person who exclusively plays turn based CRPG's, are there settings in this to make it play as close to turn based as possible?
Post character concepts, screenshots, thoughts so far, party builds, and hopefully bug fixes

>and then a quest about an abusive husbandMust have missed that one.
Unless you are referring to the bear cave where the man was murdered and then they CLAIMED he was abusive. Sounds more like 2 scumbags trying to justify their crime.
The rest of that shit is exactly that, shit. Fuck your attempts to apply real world practices to a fantasy video game setting.

>>12808>You've confused the game's stat recommendations with the actual usefulness of statsNo you're just a pleb who doesn't know how to play the game. Int boosts Aoes and durations.
Which means buffs and debuffs last longer.
And aoes have a larger zone.
The Retbarb build is evidence of that. Being as its only 1 of 2 builds that has solo'd triple crown and you need to max Int.

Shade, ghosts, spirits and shit are the strongest enemies in the game.
No other enemies can teleport, stun, daze, blind, and cause a DR bypass with their standard attack. Oh and they can summon more of themselves.

>>12901Fuck shades, shadows and phantoms. Shitty encounters and shitty enemies like that just aren't fun. A lot less fun when you're soloing, with a party it isn't as bad. The enemies have too much CC and there aren't enough ways to resist it.

I am really fond of Pillars of Eternity and I can't say I disagree with the conclusion. In spite of all the creative freedom Obsidian got, they barely utilized it in fear of offending the people that funded their games. Pat from the Super Best Friends noted this as well a few weeks ago in referencing the documentary: it is clear that they were/are so scared of being shut down that they made a safe, homogenized game that, albeit structurally solid, is stale in its creativity.

Yep, those mother fuckers die from the level 2 priest spell that does fire damage and ranged piercing IE bow/crossbow. On Damned difficulty you can use the rogue to pull them one at a time sometimes and kite them with the proper run speed (which is why run speed is actually useful sometimes.)

They definitely went overboard in the addendum. It's a solid, enjoyable game (if you're into that kinda thing) just stale and largely unimaginative.

Why is this game so painfully mediocre? Divinity OS is superior in every way.

fuck that rpgcodex review. seriously. it reads exactly like one of my college classmates essays where they thought the only way to "criticise" something was to hang shit on it. I'm 20 hours into poe and it ticks every fucking box, as well as having an intersting narrative.
obsidian has actually sat down and made a comprehensive, modern day rehaul of the IE and you can't handle it? fuck you posers. this is some good shit. ill revise my opinion once ive finished the game but so far its been fucking amazing

yeah, sometimes. especially when their points are valid. This feels more like /v/ being /v/, to the extent that people are criticising things they never even experienced firsthand.

But you were upset over an RPG codex review.. of something the writer of said review clearly paid firsthand.
I completely agree with you, shit like Witcher hate threads while the game isn't even out yet is disgusting. But this here is not the case.
Just play the game you enjoy, god knows I like games other people hate, there's always someone who hates something you do. Can't let it ruin your enjoyment of things.

I really enjoyed the first 30 hours, but sadly it suffers from poor pacing and many of the 'secondary' zones just being exactly the same stuff in the same attack patterns as earlier on.

Why do they put in obscure or made up weapons like the estoc and 2-handed morningstar but they didn't include halberds? I'm not even a halberdfag but it was a pretty common weapon and its disclusion is odd.

I hate it when a game railroads you like that
It's always 'join side X or Y', which is not only simplistic quest design but also excludes interesting stuff like being a double agent or offering your services to the highest bidder or whatever else they can think off.
But no, it's always A or B

I wouldn't even be so mad if there was any indication that this random bullshit I was doing would lock me into a faction
