That's odd. They're supposed to be resting bonuses so they should expire next time you rest. Either a bug or they changed the way they operate.

Either a bug or they changed it, because I just camped again to check and the bonus is still there.

Sounds like a bug. Congrats on the permanent Mechanics buff.

I wish this game had more artwork, I can't make as many Steam grids as I want to :/

 

[Heigic]

It's nice to see this game has a font scale option so many games involving a lot of reading don't have it. Time to play.

 

[questionmark]

Yellow names for npc's mean that they don't do anything but let me read their souls or whatever, which I assume is one of the backer rewards? So I can ignore every single one of them if I'm not interested, right?

 

[Almighty]

Well I decided to finally take a pic of this little problem I have been having.

 

[vakarian32]

I want to dive right into this but I feel bad that I haven't finished Divinity Original Sin yet

 

[Miletius]

Big head mode is pretty LOL. The Space Pig's head is so big it clips through the ground though.

So is the only way to regain health resting? No potions or spells or anything?

 

[Corpekata]

Lovely Unity engine with its hitches. Little annoying panning the camera and getting that unmistakable Unity hitch.

No.

So can someone help me out here with making my character.

I really want to play a fire godlike barbarian however in rpgs I always like to (when offered) use the dialogue to find out the most info I can and get through gameplay that otherwise might be blocked off. (I loved Vampire: TMB when it came to this, actually felt worthwhile to have the dialogue options).

I am wondering, I see that perception is a similar skill in POE in regards to dialogue and was just wondering if it was worth it? Is there a lot of uses for it throughout the game that would make it worthwhile to have high perception for those special dialogues it opens up?

I googled and found a wiki that listed just like 4 "checks" for it, but I was hoping that was just avery early incomplete list, becuase if there's only those four checks it would seem quite useless.

Build wise I had it pegged at 14 str/13 con/12 dex/16 perception/12 int/11 resolve.

Is that a good build for a barbarian (if perception is useful) or would I be better off putting those points more in the other useful stats for my class?

Depends how much you want to min/max and what you want out of your dude/dudette. Higher perception will give you a tankier barbarian that interrupts a bit more often, at the loss of some offense. A more happy medium might be switching your PER and INT; barbs have a lot of AoE and duration based abilities that will be bolstered by the extra intelligence, and INT is a pretty frequent conversion modifier as well.

Yep, was definitely a bug. Quick loading a save caused it to vanish soon as I camped again.

This

Temple of Eothas

in the first town is murdering me on hard and I have two companions. I'm thinking about just hiring some companions and then trying to clear out everything. >_>

Put a tank in the doorways and use something to draw the enemy there. They can only attack one at a time that way. The

Spoiler

Shadows

can teleport into your group, but it's usually not until you've thinned the herd a bit. For the harder enemies/groups, I've found that a long pull along with a Cleric using the Halt spell is great at keeping enemies at bay so you don't get overwhelmed and can take the weaker ones out first.

That one dialogue choice when encountering the first companion...man, I laughed.
Great job, Obsidian.

I'm so crass

So INT and PER are the stats most used in conversations? Which classes make the best use of those stats?

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Anyone got an audio bug when a *chuk chuk chuk* sound plays over and over? Sort of like the sound when you open a chest.

 

[Marlenus]

Just finished my first session and I am loving it so far. If I did not have work I would be on it all night but unfortunately responsibility beckons. Looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend though.

 

[Alastor3]

If I restart my game, will I still have the item from pre-ordering the game ?

 

[Dunbar]

Probably a stupid question, but are your available party members/companions a good mix of classes? I want to make sure I have some bad ass chanters and wizards, monks, etc. but of all the main characters I've tried to make so far, I like my lady elf ranger the best and I want to stick with her.

Adam just moment ago said that PoE team peaked at 25 people at its largest. High quality and huge product from such small team.

Well I decided to finally take a pic of this little problem I have been having.

What you are running on? PC, Linux or Mac? I assume all drivers are up to date etc, or?

Ya, it's quite the signature mark the engine has. It was annoying as shit in Shadowrun returns. It's not too bad here, but it's noticeable.

 

[Sou Da]

Just popping in to say I'm having the time of my life right now.

All the stats are used a lot in conversation.

 

[demosthenes]

I dont think my key was ever emailed to me. Is there a place I can check for it?

PC and like any long time PC gamer updating my drivers was the first thing I did. It is weird as that only happens when they are moving and once they stop it goes away until they move again. I reported it on Obsidian's forums so hopefully it is a quick fix. Until then I will just plow through as it is only a slight annoyance as it fixes itself for a little while after a quick save/reload.

The only classes you dont get are

monk, rogue and barbarian.

So the game won't let me role-play a Pale Walker who's turning good. Playing as a good character apparently doesn't jive with my order, which prevents me from getting really powerful.

That sucks. Re-rolling as a Cipher.

You can role play counter your order but its doesnt make much sense and youll have to take the hit.

I think there is a talent that negates the penalty?

so many soul stories

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I guess I'm reserving that character for a D&D session. My new guy is an artist who spent his life feeding on people's minds, and influencing them to create his art. So he became a Cipher in charge of a adventuring party, obviously!

Longest day at work ever.

And now I have to run to the liquor store to pick up a bottle of red wine.

 

[Soyongdori]

So, which race is the most effective to play as? I'm either gunning for human, elf, or godlike.

Any of them?

 

[VoidVR]

Played 4 hours now. Made a goody two-shoes Aumaua paladin, the Kind Wayfarers order. Playing on hard and you really have to watch where you poke your nose into, making sure you're being careful when pulling groups, keeping the food buffs up, etc.

I'm in love, the old days of crpg high adventure are back. Glorious!

 

[Spookie]

I'm still at fucking work.

 

[Truant]

Anyone else playing on Easy? I just want to experience the story and characters.

 

[boybrushdRED]

You can open the console (with the ` tilde key) and type msaa 0, if you want a fairly nice performance increase, on lower end machines, etc.

You got a link where I can find all other console commands?

 

[Shake Appeal]

This game.

Fuck.

 

[HK-47]

This game.

Fuck.

Pretty shit, yeah?

 

[Zeliard]

I'm really liking it so far. I tend to gravitate towards spellsword-esque classes/builds, and this seems perfect for that. I got draining soul whip when I leveled so I can cast spells more often, pretty effective.

Good to know. I'm starting up an Aumaua Cipher and will see how that goes.

 

[Last Baron]

Hmm, I own the Kickstarter hero edition on Steam and it says so on the store page, but when I search my games list it's not there and it doesn't appear on my profile when I open it. Consequently the Kickstarter achievement hasn't unlocked either. What's going on?

 

[Burt]

This game is so good.

So so so so good.

Also, I'm incredibly happy with the ranger that I spent 4 minutes creating, which never happens even when I spend 4 hours thinking it over.
