Absolutely

For the user last thread that was asking for ammua portraits. Post watches/fun ideas

Running an exiled deadfire aristicrat atm, so essentialy a meaner version of Moana.
Want to also go 5 man druid/ranger w bear companion for 10 man bear party in deadfire.

Kana is a good boy, you better handle him gently.

Go to /vg/ already

Daily reminder to stop copying shitty gimmick builds made by brain-dead mongoloids on the Obsidian forums. Do not build low might and low constitution fighters. Do not build retarded high intelligence memebarians. Do not build low intelligence """DPS""" wizards. Maybe then the threads will be safe from inbred bumblefucks bitching about how their dogshit low fortitude snowflake fighter """build""" can't beat a bunch of phantoms due to being stunlocked. Also, remember that even if you're an illiterate subhuman nigger who can barely read, you should at least pretend to check out the combat log from time to time, so that you know which enemy attacks target which defenses.

Kana is a good boy and I will protect his smile.
by making him a respected member of the community by making him a traditionalist

I have, on my 6-7 different charactger never brought Kana with me, He just seems so boring.

Chanters are a boring class to play in general, even though they're pretty powerful.

n'yah!

High int barbs are good though.

>giving you to that retard

>tfw Skald looks like one of the more fun classes in 2

Damn right I am.

Pillars 2 sold like 12 copies.

I really liked bards, but chanting is such a boring idea to replace those. Kanas chanting is also really annoying in battle, and Kana seems like a boring dude, I don't know, since I never brought him with me, but yeah

Is there even any point to replaying the first for characters to import? You can always just decide in the second game right?

Yeah, you can. The point is in playing the game if you feel like it.

I've been rushing my new character, just running through dungeons and skipping dialogue (that wasn't important) with my new swashbuckling fighter class which I was planning to continue the new game with. I stopped caring for my priest when I finished the game with her, and never did the dlc, so turning it back to normal/hard when that time comes. I am a bit afraid that I'll burn out of the game

Let me see them watchers

>Cleansing Flame
why god

Hello, is this you? Next time you try teaching someone how a certain game works, learn to read first so that you may acquaint yourself with the basic game mechanics beforehand in order to avoid making a fool of yourself.

>muffled fish noises in the distance

...

n'yarr!

The amount it gives is insignificant.

The key to fighting this slut is to take it out fast and not allow it to buff itself with minor avatar and devotions of the faithful. If it self-buffs via avatar, you can still try suppress the buff via paladin's deprive the unworthy or wizard's arcane dampener, but it won't be easy due to the stat buffs it gets. Fighting 3 of these things in longwatch falls near the grey sleeper on potd at levels below 11 is probably one of the toughest fights you can get yourself into.

Uh huh, and the +4 fortitude bump you receive from eating Pearlwood Chicken is "insignificant", eating Duc's Beefloaf for another +4 bump is "insignificant" as well. The ring with its another +5 bump? Lmao, "insignificant" as well. And high values of might and constitution on a fighter is "insignificant" as well! There's this basic concept called "stacking", maybe you should look it up.

>I think it's far too late to hope that resting is not a vestigial element that is trying and failing to appeal to grognards
>Casters can only keep up with martial classes if they use their Empower every battle

So how does penetration work exactly? Is it just a reduction t target's DR? Any backers familiar with the beta ITT?

Cutie.

Food doesn't stack.

...

...

No, they're not. Making a high INT Barbarian will force you to sacrifice (i.e. not max out) either might or con and it's an utterly retarded idea for any non-caster melee class, not just the barb. The reason for this is that you ABSOLUTELY NEED extremely high fortitude values to even survive the fight against Llengrath and her dragons, since Turisulfus' breath doesn't give a fuck about your reflex or deflection and is checked against fortitude. You need to incorporate pretty much ALL source of fortitude buffing for that fight, including max might and con scores as well as foods and the diving helmet to solo that fight on potd and even then it might not be enough, since you need a value of around 180-190 to feel really comfortable. The "muh Carnage will hit more targets" argument is so one-dimensional and does not take into account so many things it's not even funny. Clearing trash is a non-issue, fighting actually tough enemies requires good single target DPS and INT does nothing for the barbarian in this regard. Even if you max out might, constitution and then give your barb high int for a bigger Carnage AoE, your Dex is going to suffer and this means your single target DPS is going to suffer as well, not to mention your accuracy which has an impact on DPS too. High INT barbs are a retarded meme build and I have yet to see anyone clear llengrath solo on potd with such a build.

How long are you going to humiliate yourself? Chicken boosts CON, which is a +4 Fort bump, Beefloaf bumps MIG, which is another +4 Fort bump. They do not suppress each other.

Could I see your portrait?

I'm excited for this game

Straight from the portrait folder.

...

10 con is fine for barb as long as you are not a tank.

No Durance, no buy.

Not bad for minmaxing scum.

Thanks user!

Tiddies are bit small though.

They are fucking perfect for her body

Post a video of yourself soloing Llengrath with a 10 con barb on potd and then we'll talk. I am not concerned with efficient ways of clearing trash.

>"CRPG"
>is primarily a strategy action-adventure game

At least with Divinity you got roleplaying via co-op.

>is primarily a strategy action-adventure game
>still has more roleplaying depth than Kiddinity

Remove skaen shits from premises.

Friendly reminder Lagufaeth are your friends.
You should not hunt or kill them.

Seriously though, not sure why there was no option to help him get his niece back, after fixing her.

>It's cool that my casters can actually cast every fight now,, but it can make fights feel really repetitive.
>Empower doesn't feel like a good replacement for per-rest abilities; feels very video-gamey

My brain is full of billions and billions of fuck.

which old rpg should i play while we wait for poe

The niece doesn't want to go back though and that's the issue. You either have to kill her, because she will not go back with you or you release her.

You can save pictures, you don't have to take a screenshot of them

You really should try pulling them better.

What is a fun build for monk on PoTD?

>The niece doesn't want to go back though and that's the issue.
Yeah, but who cares. I just wish there was option to return her without her killing everyone.

I'm fifty hours into the first one over various start and stops on multiple charactersal and I'm just now realizing the stats only seem to get boosted by the highest boost, rather then combining all the boosts you have equipped.

There is need
They soon drown in debuffs and are permanently stunned, asleep or paralyzed anyways

Protip: stat bonuses from inn rooms and food stack with each other and gear.
Food bonuses don't stack with other food bonuses however. Regardless you can easily get a stacking +2 to every attribute before big fights. Then your stronghold has +3 stacking to one attribute, or some city inn rooms have +2 to three or two.
Also, scrolls and potions are actually useful.
Craft as many pots of Deleterious Alacrityof Motion and use them on every character before tough fights. You'll thank me later.
It's a wonder le balance man has let such disgusting items remain in game for so long.
Riase lore on non spellcasters and craft + use scrolls of Paralyze, Confusion and Maelstrom.

Friendly reminder that [Cipher] choices are mostly just replacements for [Watcher] choices, so dialogue reactivity is not why you should pick a Cipher.

Dialogue branches aren't roleplaying. You need coop for the least resemblance to a game master.

Divinity wins again.

Classes and Subclasses

>larianiggers will defend this

>barbarian+chiper is witch
I find this silly, I'd prefer witch to be a wizard multiclass.

I picked the Monk class to do a playthrough to import to this game and Monk sucks balls. I'm in the endgame. Should I just abandon it and make another?

Will monk be improved in the next game? Can I reclass while importing?

From where?

Because we have a sense of humour unlike Obsidishits.

Modesty > attempting serious genre fiction but still failing. Divinity wins again.

>merchant arrive and leave the stronghold while you travel between two area

>only 5 party members
>want to bring Aloth again even though I'm a wizard
Oh dog, choosing companions is going to be even bigger challenge than in PoE.

Are...are you real?

Just play on easy or something for your first playthrough and roleplay instead of spending 99% of your time on metagame calculating.

Save poth or hard for the second playthrough, that's what I plan to do.

[Lie] Yes.

What do you think the Priest of Woedica and Steel Garrote Paladin is about? It exists in Deadfire thanks to data mining. Josh was asked about it before and he said they had no plans to add it into the game.

So that probably means a companion will have it right? Having a boss have a unique class is a huge waste of time and effort. Or do you think he's being sneaky and adding it as a surprise?

Are there still cities broken in different areas with loading times between?

Holy shit, that writing is terrible.

Why does it say heads while the barrel has whole fish in it?

>Tekehu and Maia look shit
>Serafen seems great, but he's in danger of being written by Megan Starks
>Xoti seems great, assuming her writer doesn't have brain problems
So far, it seems like a pretty easy choice, honestly.

If I had to guess, it's just cut content. Obsidian have a history of leaving shit like that in the files.

Loading times are vastly improved now. I'd roughly say a second or three per screen. But I have an old as fuck hdd so it's probably faster with an SSD or a newer hdd.

That's a shame if it's cut content. That would mean they initially planned it but scrapped it. Though with modding being trivial someone can probably add them back in.
We'll probably get an unfinished business mod in a year or 6.

>You need coop for the least resemblance to a game master.
The GM exists to provide reactivity to player in-game decisions. Coop is completely irrelevant in this regard, as reactivity in videogame format is achieved through a pre-written, yet branching gamepath that contains alternative solutions and outcomes to different problems.

Moreover, coop in Kiddinity does not contribute to reactivity at all. Simply having some character being controlled by a different player does not result in the game offering the players unique alternative solutions to anything. Coop "reactivity" in Kiddinity is limited to pretty much the final fight only, where you can duke it out with your butt-buddies and decide which ending you're going to get, yet even in this case there is no actual reactivity, since you do not get any unique endings for killing your butt-buddies and even if you kill them the other players still respawn on the ship as normal, lmao.

All of this just emphasizes that kiddinity is a game of zero roleplaying depth, where character building decisions are meaningless, since you can respec everything in under 30 seconds an unlimited number of times.

>b-but you can respec in PoE as well
You cannot respec your reputations and dispositions and those are tied in with alternative quest and encounter solutions as well.

Still, can't they make the fucking maps bigger? Loading times for everything are annoying. Also all indoor areas needing a loading screen is annoying too. Games have supported seethrough ceilings for decades.

Question. In the beta how does dual wielding pistols work? How does one hand pistol and one hand saber work? Is it shoot slash reload?

white march 2 ending spoilers
I really want to restore abydons memory but i'm afraid ondra is going to fuck me and my ship over in deadfire. aside from the possible retribution in poe 2 what did you guys choose for the eyeless?
