Yeah, sometimes I have to move the UI so that I can see my characters to see if the "not enough crafting" appears. Wonder if there's a better way to do that.

How important is healing magic in this game?
I'm thinking of starting as a Fighter and Cleric, but that sounds a bit boring. I'd like to have some ranged damage, too.

Maybe piercing is amazing later on.
You can get healing magic via one of the companions who joins you. But it's important to have, because otherwise you'll need to use potions or food to heal.
You'd think Jim would have a better mic available to him. Dude doesn't sound good at all.
Yep,you ain't going bald in this one
So like with most other games, crafting/alchemy is a waste of time save for a very select few receipies. I've begun to not bother with it anymore except for making arrow heads, which seem to be the only REALLY useful crafts.
So which combinations have you found for arrow heads?
What I've found regarding arrows:

What I've found regarding arrows:
Axe + Log = Branches
Branches + Knife = 3 Arrow Shafts
Knife + Teeth = Stunning Arrow heads
Silver + Anvil = Silver Arrow heads
Arrow Head + Drudanae= ??? (not enough crafting)

That third one! ooooo I was thinking they would just make bonedust but couldn't grind them.
It's turn based.
You move whichever characters turn it is. If you have an AOE you can target it will show up for you to target. If you have an AOE that just appears around your chracter,that will happen.
Start AP is Speed+Percetion/2. AP cap is based on constitution. Initiative is also based on speed/perception. AP/round is speed alone.
You can make spell books out of scrolls. You shouldn't rush to judgement at all.
Not to mention that food is extraordinarily powerful. Also if you want to play a zombie learning posion recipes is valuable.
Oh. OH.
I've heard rumblings of a 4 player mod on Reddit. Anyone know about this or tried it?

I'm building my main guy mage int+spd with some con. Based on that it should turn good.

my thoughts as well. I thought you could make scrolls from stuff you already knew so you could give them to stupid people. This.... Changes.... Everything!
Granted, money isn't a big issue in this game so far.

OK i seem to getting the hang of it now.

...welp.
This game is either quite hard, or my characters are useless. Played it for about 4 hours, just messing about in the town until
I got my arse handed to me several times, outside the city is literally no mans land
I started investigating the murder, and had to go out to the North West beach
What's required for this?
Hopefully the NPC dialogue fix
You need a blank elemental skill book (water/fire/earth etc) and magical ink & quill.
or you can just buy them. :X
I'm glad you didn't design this game, or we'd only have fighter and wizard, no crafting system, and probably most of the other interesting options that make this game interesting would be gone as well. For a fan of these kinds of RPGs, you seem to be really against alternative options. All of your posts seem to advocate brute forcing in one way or another. The game presents all sorts of options for accomplishing the same tasks. It's great.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Good game, really like how it doesn't hold your hand. You're given really minimal direction and the freedom feels good.
I like how the outskirts in the start kick your ass.. and there's no shortage of things that will utterly fuck your shit up. F5 is your best friend.
That said.. what's the best solution to healing.. potions are godawful expensive.. and I fucked up by not choosing a path that allows me to cast... should I get a heal spell ASAP?

Some people just see a min max and they HAVE to run with it.
I haven't seen all the books on sale for which I have seen/found scrolls.
To heal up? Just lay on a bed. I dunno if there's an option for out of town like sleeping bags or tents.
Specifics are on the larian forums but it requires the exact spell scroll +
a blank magical spell book
I don't know the method for making
blank books
The games crafting heavily rewards logical experiments and reading the guidebooks. The crafting guidebooks often have more recipes than you might think at first glance; pay close attention to the wording.
Nah, I love options.^^ I just like to play efficient. Not hardcore min-maxing, but doing it reasonable is something I strive for. I love to find alternative solutions to beat the game at itself (e.g. Fallout, where I crafted 30 mines and lured them to a small passageway and killed way, way, way, way, higher level stuff). I tinkered around with crafting, that's why I came to the conclusion that it's not worth it (for me) to bother with that item management. I LOVE to keep things ordered, so a full inventory is a sore thumb to me. Finally getting rid of everything just felt sooooo good. xD Now I have 2 back packs, 1 with arrow-crafting stuff and 1 with quest related stuff. Only potions and new loot in my main bag. <3
That said, I don't bother with Alchemy in most games, with the exception of Gothic / Risen, and even there only for +strength potions. In Skyrim the armor you could create was actually worth it, so there as well. I do a bit of black smithing too here, tho I wonder what you need level 2 for. You can make everything at level 1 as far as I've seen.
it's random which turn up. They are also level depended. At level 2 I've only seen up to level 4 books. At level 6 up to 10. So I imagine the vendor will use your level for his own stock.
The stuff you can craft is also random (weapons and skillbooks).
Yeah, I accidentally discovered this while searching a room. *Character lies down* "Oh! Well, I guess that makes sense."
Latest patch notes
- Fixed: Crashes on saving
- Fixed: Dialogs locking up when talking to certain npcs with two players
- Fixed: Extremely big pool of blood
- Fixed: Cloud artefacts
- Fixed: Crash during unlearning active skills
- Fixed: Steam cloud saving (the Steam from Valve that is, the Steam cloud in game was already working)
- Fixed: German and French translation artefacts. You still need to manually activate the subtitles in the options screen. We'll make it automatic on the next update.
- Fixed: Corruption caused by video playback on Mac
Amazing. Think ill have to pick this up soon.
Love games that give you such freedom. Fallout NV kinda tried it but this sounds like the next level.
You should meet the guy on the larian forums who was furious when he found out shop vendors were fixed and sold very few low level spells. It's very possible your only solution is to craft a spell book...or find it randomly exploring.
Part of the game design is you cannot rely on a specific character progression to guarentee your tactical plans. You have to use what the random generation hands you to make do with the challenges presented. Scrolls are far more common than spell books.
Also you have limited spell space till level 5 of an ability. This means some of the weaker spells you may want to leave as scrolls until later (Farseer I'm looking at you!!)
I think it's a pretty good game, especially for a Kickstarter. I can't get past the nagging feeling that everything was made on a budget. I guess you'd say there's a little "jankyness" to everything.
Been playing CRPGs since the 80s though, so I'm probably a little picky. Weather, day/night schedule; all things that have been in RPGs for 30 years now that would have helped make it more atmospheric. It's not really sucking me in yet, and the dialogue/story is nothing special. I do like the opening quest though, great throwback to Ultima 7.
Don't mean to sound negative here, I've been starved for a good CRPG and this definitely seems like it's going to scratch the itch.

Lie on a bed, sit on a bench/chair/anything you can sit on.
This will dramatially increase your HP regeneration.
^ I think it'd be weird to have changing weather when you can magically change the weather in every battle XD
Awesome, thanks for the response.
I just tried it, and I'm getting the same performance as pre-patch.
Yeah I kicked Medora out too. Super annoying. I hope we get some cool user created mod companions at some point.
