There are some mods but I don't think the possibilities are endless because the process of making the maps is apparently really complex. Sawyer mentioned it at some point. Maybe it's doable? Really looking forward to balance mods etc though.
If someone wants to make engagement only for fighters and select enemies I'd be down I think.
I keep getting this fucking screen despite having working saves, there's like a 1 in 20 chance it actually recognizes them
Give this a try:

I think there's a working version of the IE mod with engagement completely removed. I don't think the mod touches AI so I don't find it worth using yet but it might be something for the future.
What are you talking about? The choices in Bioware games are great, choose top right to be nice and bottom right to be evil/douche.

Ugh, my fighter dude is totally bugged. 73 deflection at level 5.
I am on the fence about restarting. I really don't want to restart, especially since the bug isn't patched yet. I am a habitual quicksaver/quicloader so chances are it's just going to get worse.
Everybody else seems to be on the level though. I just might do his story parts and then replace him.

Tried it.
Doesn't do anything for this issue it seems.

Is 7x really that high for level 5? Looking at his other stats, and the stats of my other characters/companions, it doesn't look like my tank having 78 deflection being out of the realm of possibilities.
Most of the people talking about the bug are talking about the character naked and not using his buffs, in which case it is absurdly high for that level.
Yep, exactly. He's naked and at 73. I actually took a lot of stuff off of him when I reequip-ed him, he was sitting at at almost 100 prior in full armor.

Taking off all his gear and his toggled defense ability he loses 30 deflect to 48. Has some resolve from the rested bonus.
So since I'm on the road at the moment (for the last 6 months)
I haven't had a chance to jump in on this yet. But having arrived in Taiwan yesterday the wifi at the place I stay at is fast enough to download this!
Downloading now and listening to the soundtrack + reading the CE collectors book.
Hopefully my laptop can run this!
Can't wait to dive in!

Are quests completely done once the game marks it as done? I was doing an early Act II quest
Also what is the benefit of putting people in jail rather than killing them?
His Old Self and I was little confused by the ending. I imprisoned the imposter and talke to the husband and he told me to talk to his wife about patching things up. I said tell her the truth, something about getting out of the drug trade and the quest ended. He's still in his house but I couldn't find the wife at the tavern to tell her what happened. Did I misinterpret the options there, the quest just seemingly ended abruptly.

I had this, it went away when I rested at the inn at the stronghold. It does still say 8 Raw damage and -20 concentration in the character stat screen but I don't take the damage so I assume the - 20 concentration also isn't affecting my character.
My biggest issue so far other than stronghold issues is the load and save times are starting to get annoying.
So uh... I just noticed while armor juggling that Pallegina has -2 DR naked.
I don't see any active effects that would cause that, I've rested... Is she just like that? It's an oddity that's gnawing at my brain, input appreciated guys
Its a bug, I get the same issue.
She was still in the Goose and Fox for me and I told him to tell her the truth as well.

If an enemy slips by your defense and starts wailing on your squishies you can use crowd control abilities to get away without getting hit in the back. Wizards for example has that Grimoire slam, Chanters have that cone stun/knockback Invocation, Priest can cast lvl 1 spells Halt to stop an approaching enemy or Withdraw where you phase out and cant be hit, etc.
Also make sure that your tanks are built for tanking. A fighter without the Defender ability is no where near as effective at holding enemy attention as one with it. My fighter can hold like 4 guys by himself (1 normal, +2 from Defender, +1 more from weapon). Ranger pets can also fill gaps instead of doing attacks to keep enemies from crossing your defensive line.

If that is the double click bug you can resolve it by removing the member from the party and reinviting. You can do this at an inn. i just tried it with Kana. Double clicked an armor, he lost the racial. Removed him from party. Reinvited and he was back to normal.
I haven't fallen to that bug.... Luckily I've been dragging things all over! Removing and re-adding her doesn't work... I wonder if it's my alignment affecting her defense. I mean, I'm not EVIL or anything, just maybe not Paladin material.
Then I switch Kana in, only to see that he has like 14 DR naked.
Um. That doesn't seem quite right.

This is one of my favourites
Also just checked my character stats I seem to have dodged al the nasty bugs
Maybe its a Mac thing

Durante has to be one of my favorite companions.
when you first meet him you think he's just going to be stock crazy old dude. But no he's more than just crazy old dude. He's a total asshole. His banter with Kana is amazing.
Yes all this DR wackiness does seem to be a bug I was having so much fun, now I'm afraid to play! Apparently there's a glitch with saving and loading in places where you find companions that jacks up given companion's stats. Or something.
Hopefully this gets patched quickly, and the fix is retroactive
Dang it

I like the banter of most characters so far. I've avoided talking to Aloth, Sagani and Grieving Mother as I want to save them for my next play through but the rest of the companions are all pretty interesting.
At level 3, yes. I didn't want
Aloth or Durance.
Also why does my wizard say "It's not working!" when she casts a spell that obviously works, such as a spirit shield spell on herself?
If you're not taking those two characters you could try hiring an adventurer from the inn. It would help you out a lot at your level.

I have 20k gold without even trying.
Sorry to quote myself. I'm thinking about restarting with a dual-weapon Barbarian and making
my tank. I'm not feeling the Rogue class.

What problems were you having before? Did you not have Eder tank when you were a Rogue?

As a Barbarian myself i feel they lend themselves very well to 2H weapons. Very well. You can also equip extended range weapons such as a Pike or Quarterstaff to hit from behind the tank if they are in a doorway.

Up to 6 at any time.
My Monk follows a certain saying
"When one man is betrayed to death, two graves are dug; One for the dead and one for the living", in this case three graves for three dead people (the victim, Nonton and the victim's wife, all of them shall pay the toll).
Aah, leveled up to 5. Let's see what abilities I can get....
Riposte: "The rogue looks for openings to counterattack in combat. Incoming melee attacks that target Deflection and miss have a chance of allowing an instant Full Attack Riposte. Only active with melee weapons equipped"
Ohohoho, ohohoho, my dodgey tankey ripostey NWN2 Rogue is back! I don't need fast attack speeds when you give me the opportunities!

Can anyone who followed this game really close tell me - is there a chance of co-op down the line? Me and my wife finished Divinity this summer and it was my best gaming experience since Deus Ex. PoE seems like right up our alley - very hardcore when it comes to combat so I'd probably wait some time if there is some possibility of co-op added in expansions.
No, IE games are not meant for coop
