I'm on level 3 on Od Nua and I'm wondering if there are other resolution to the Ogre quest other than
killing all the other cannibal ogres

Just got the Lead Spitter.
Oh my.
You're really making me not want to wait for the patch before I restart.

Whats Lead Spitter? Be sure to spoiler your answer!

Exactly what it sounds like.
A blunderbuss that you get as a quest reward in Dyrford.

This is the true answer.
In the Legend of Zelda, when the old man tells Link, "It's dangerous to go alone; take this." Lead Spitter is what he was referring to.

I've been really disappointed in the lack of good unique firearms up to and including Defiance Bay. I've had to buy all my blunderbusses thus far like a common peasant, and enchant them myself up from nothing.
And the first ones I saw for sale were in Defiance Bay too. Takes a long time to get your guns!

That was basically how I played my Paladin all the way up to the first town, it's a very important strategy as they start off so average compared to classes like Fighter.
I feel like Flames of devotion is really bugged to only do 50% as Fire damage.
You can save them. For the higher ranks, it's actually necessary.

playing as an Orlan, there were a few instances of casual racism - most of them coming from Durance, actually
I'm getting blocked pretty hard in Od Nua - my damage just isn't enough to punch through the ogre packs. Had Eder and Palle get permadeath'd from all the crushing damage the ogres deal out; the fight took so long that their entire hp pool got eaten up as Consecrated Ground kept them up. This is the second time since the Wailing Banshee that I'm considering starting on hard, or rerolling a different class in PotD. Rogues deal good damage, but they seriously lack utility, CC, or aoe and it's biting them hard right now. Can't see ogre hp pools, but the druids are probably like 500hp~ish going by the amount of punishment they took.
Or I guess I can just abuse Withdraw in a doorway, but meh. Or hire adventurers instead of using the in-game npcs.
e: or I guess I can just try this again.

aside from the lighthouse and the odd ogre murder squad it was smooth sailing from end of act 1 onwards for me (hard + expert, at the end of chapter 3, max level). They need to adjust the difficulty curve in the expansion, the beginning of the game was great in terms of challenge
These type of games are the ones that I constantly have running and never turn my computer off when I play them because if I shut it down I tend to take an incredibly long break before booting it back up.
ie I haven't booted this in 2 days after playing it feverishly and enjoying every minute of it and I don't know why.

I had that quest item for the longest time and I had no idea where to turn it in, thanks. Grieving Mother is about to inflict some mayhem.
I was actually in a similar spot. Played like a madman for 3 days after release and then took a break to play some Skyrim and LoL. Yet for some reason I don't have any desire to keep playing PIllars for a little bit. Might've burned myself out after those marathon sessions,

Lead Spitter is life. Builds an obscene amount of focus on The Grieving Mother.
Have a wizard with you? Slicken ruins them. With them incapacitated like that, it shouldn't be out of the question to use a priest spell on lowering defenses. Your problem might be your leadspitter, if you're using it on them. Ogres have pretty high DR, right? I don't have any experience with blunderbusses , but I would imagine that since the damage gets divided among 8 shots none of the individual shots do enough damage to make significant gains against their DR. If that's the case, a pistol/blunderbuss/arquebus/anything with high damage and slow attack speed should work a lot better.
Fan of Flames. Lots of pulling.
I am a little embarrassed I didn't think of that. Still add the damn button, Obsidian/PC developers.
Ran out of slickens in that battle, heh. If I was killing one every 8 seconds I wouldn't mind, but the in-game npcs - at least the ones available right now - don't do enough damage for path of the damned. Kinda wish there was a difficulty between it and Hard.
As for the Lead Spitter, the DR penetration actually works out to be more consistent damage right now than the other guns. Ogres pack like 10dr only, anyways, so it's not too high. (This is where I get a ptsd flashback from the lighthouse. Fuck getting mobbed by 90 deflection, 16 dr shades at level 5.) More importantly, the multiple shots seem to apply debuffs from crippling/blinding strike multiple times, so it's far more reliable in that area against the sky-high saves that every mob seems to have.
The druids seem to be casting something called moonwell, but disengaging to move them off of it just gets my tanks slaughtered after the knockdowns get used up. Gonna have to think of something else, or return later.
Ack, yeah didn't realize you were PotD. That does complicate things. I could see how sticking with just companions in your party could start to hurt at that point.
Moonwell definitely seems to be the problem. "Creates stationary radius in which allies recover Endurance and gain a bonus to all defenses.[1]". That's just mean. I don't even know how you counter grounded effects like that when you can't run away.
I just explored (act 1)
. It's kind of odd how much effort went into doing all that art with literally ONE object that I found to click on (containing an item). Everything else is just monsters and magnifying glass flavor text. I realize that something may change
, but for now it's a really boring place to explore.
A bunch of Caed Nua
if I do the Maerwald quest or whatever
you probably shouldn't fight ogres below level 9 anyway (if that's the case). A steady bombardment of druid and cypher aoe spells (insect swarm and blizzard), concentrated gunline fire and tank blocking the chokepoint (although it's kinda difficult to really tank an ogre) could do the trick. Or hit and run if the area allows it

Finish the quest and you can start
rebuilding the place and explore Od Nua
only at the very beginning, maybe
you'll have a companion surplus that can deal with the stronghold stuff later on

It's definitely worth using at least one because you can't get a full party for a bit otherwise.
More about that place I keep asking about:
There are maybe 8-10 enemies guarding a coffin in a single room in the dungeon, so I assume that coffin contains the key and the dungeon is therefore out of the equation.
On the roof, I managed to sneak down to the courtyard without getting in a fight, but there are no less than THIRTEEN enemies guarding the hall door there. I don't see any way in without killing them.

Coming in from the roof there is someone on the floor with all the priests that will assist you. In return for helping him he will show you a secret passage that will bypass the guards. In the dungeon there is another person that will do something similar as well.

The no autosave mod really cuts down the load times between maps, good lord. They should have made this an option.

What's the size of the game world? I'm wondering how long it will take me if I like to complete a lot of it.
Are you talking path of the damned difficulty? I don't see any such person in either place.
The dungeon has a locked door that requires a key (no lockpicking), so you're forced to defeat 8+ undead to get to a coffin. The roof has a keep hall door, unless you're talking about temple storage. The keep hall door is guarded by 13+ soldiers, mages, etc. who all attack on sight.

So, I'm about to start this game, pretty excited and all, but having a hard time deciding on who my main character class should be. Planning on either a Godlike Barbarian, a Aumaua Monk or an, Orlan (or Elf) Rogue. What do you guys think?
Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but
So those with experience playing these three classes, care to let me know what you guys think of them? Simple pros and cons will be appreciated.
Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but
I'm planning to have all 11 classes available in my playthrough and swap accordingly to keep things fresh. I know companions cover eight of those classes. So I'll create the remaining three character classes not covered by the companions, with one of them being my main character.

The place
on the roof of Raedric's keep. I talked to a friend who said that I needed to be on the highest floor. So I guess the place I need to go is called "Temple Storage". Unfortunately that area has at minimum 2 really tough guards I have to defeat, and potentially 6+ including a mage. Stealth 3 won't let me sneak past even the first guard so I can't try to sneak in the door. I might try with a rogue later for like, stealth 4.

im playing a Death Godlike Barbarian and im loving it. Went heavy into Might and Intelligence (Int to get larger radius AoE from the Barbs Rampage autoattacks). Once the tank get swarmed with 4 guys i charge into the fray and slice all of them up with each swing.
You can get to the priest floor from the top of the keep accessed by the vines. You can also get there by going up the stairs from below. You will know you are in the right place because there will be boxes filled with priest robes you use for a disguise and the whole floor is filled with priests. On that floor is someone to talk with. In the dungeon the person doing all the experiments you can also talk with. Both give options to get around the guards.
You can
find a bunch of priest's robes that your party can wear, disguising them. they'll be able to walk freely through the dungeon but watch out, you might be stopped by priests who don't recognize you. you can skill-check out of it, but the checks become more difficult after every close call

Thanks. I kinda forgot about the nexus.
Found another one that would be a life safer for me.Disable double-click mod.
I'm not sure I'm quite happy with the removal of XP for monster kills. Once you fill the "bestiary" journal, some fights feel a lot less rewarding because you know that the loot is useless.
I'm not sure what it was trying to fix in the first place. Power-levelling? Unbalanced gameplay? More control over a player progression?

Yeah, they make a new slot for it right above your latest manual save (at the time). Sorry to hear you overwrote it. That sucks.

I noticed windows told me that some voice sound files were corrupt in a pop up window by the bottom right when I booted windows. So I go into steam, right-click PoE, then properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache. It tells me a bunch of files need to be re-downloaded. But then the game still shows as "Pillars of Eternity - Download paused".
I ended up deleting the game and re-download it, but I'm getting a getting "an error occurred while updating pillars of eternity (disk read error)" window when trying to launch my game, and it still shows "Pillars of Eternity - Download paused".
Anyone know what I can do to fix?

Check the drive you're downloading it to for errrors. Sounds like it's not able to write the files for some reason, and a drive error may be a reason why the files were corrupted in the first place.

How come Zelda keeps having to save the princess in every game? Doesn't he get tired of saving the princess?
