its friday and I dont wanna go out with my friends

It's Friday and I'm an anti-social troglodyte with the next 10 days off.

 

[Drkirby]

Geez, I'm surprised at how different fights can go with a bit of tactics.

Spoiler

Had to fight Maerwald 3 times. First time I just flat out lost, second time he killed a party member and everyone else was badly beaten, third time I drew him out, had the preast dump several buffs on the team, had the Chanters make a ton of summons, and then had the wizard dude use a 1 time use fire beam spell and two others use ranged weapons, and we won without a scratch

 

[Anoregon]

wooo I got my stronghold!

 

[Anno]

Man, a good fight in this game is so satisfying. The range of outcomes in any given fight is higher (based of execution) than basically anything I've played in a long, long time. One or two clicks mean all the difference. I really do feel like I'm back in my D&D days where we'd gather around one particular roll that we knew could make or break the party.

 

[Ozium]

I have yet to step inside our inn. I'm role playing the shit outta this game and reading every dialogue and mind

same, except once I get to the GAF Inn I'm going to meta roleplay and complain about the rest of the game without having played it.

It's pretty insane. It's a reason I love these games. Tbh, there were a number of Fights in mass effect 1 that went the same. That game was practically a RTwP third person shooter. With overheating that was pretty much your attack cool downs. Shame they changed those mechanics.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Spirit shaping into a boar is like dual-wielding arbalests shaped like knives.

You non-druids are missing out.

 

[wolfhowwl]

It's almost over

Thanks.

When are you guys timing your assault on

Spoiler

the Lord's castle

?

I was a druid last night and rerolled just now into a wood elf wizard and now you are making me regret my decision

btw, are there DRAGONS in this game?

Yes, many kinds.

Act 2 spoiler

Spoiler

I think I could have imprisoned the guy impersonating Purnisc but I haven't upgraded the dungeons yet. Oops.

 

[KingKong]

The game is smart enough that I can get quest items/updates without having the quest first right?

 

[Corpekata]

I've had a piece of monster carcass in my quest items since near the start of the game and haven't found a quest for it, so I believe so.

 

[His Majesty]

Just finished the Temple of Eothas, five hours in. Pleasantly surprised at how the combat ended up, not a big fan of RTwP usually.

 

[RK9039]

You're a watcher Harry.

 

[Kintaro]

I started over (again... =D) and actually got a change in the outcome of the very first little scene/quest, dungeon...

Spoiler

I chose to rush the dude holding the Rogue. He slashed the Rogue's chest. When we beat the raiders and escaped into the ruins, the Rogue asked if we could find a place to rest. I said "sure" and Calista got angry. Once we camped out, she took everything and bounced.

We found her dead by the floor trap with three tiles unlit. =(

Monster carcass from near start of game? Might have passed that part to use it if its the one im thinking of.

Spoiler

It sounds like some meat i gave to a little kobold guy in the very first dungeon/ruin. When you approach a dialogue box comes up and one of the choices is "raise you hands." The meat is used there.

 

[TheContact]

its friday and I dont wanna go out with my friends

It's Friday and I have no friends and work in the AM =(

[Lingitiz]

Just reached act 2 and I'm totally overwhelmed. Every building in Defiance Bay is a new quest.

 

[BrokenFiction]

One tiny wish I would want to add to this game is on the quests screen to be able to hide completed quests somehow. I like a clean quest interface.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'm at the wilderness zone right before what I assume is the start of act 2. Do act 1 quests expire?

 

[Corpekata]

Is there a quick inventory sort I'm missing. Would like the random shit I stored to vendor to be separated from the good stuff.

 

[Drkirby]

So, is there any potential reason to horde all these junk weapons, like for me keep, or should I just dump them for cash?

 

[Skeletron]

This game has me hooked. I started a character last night but I can't devote any more time to it until next week at the earliest. Work is terrible. Aaauuuughhhhhh

 

[Altazor]

You're a watcher Harry.

I'm a WOT!?

btw, this game... oh, this game. I'm still super early but fuck this, I'm loving it.

10 days? Jesus.

Yes, I cleared out a zone before talking with an NPC in that zone that asked me to do a couple of things I had done already, so it was only a matter of me saying, "yep, already killed those guys - yep, already got that item".

Yea, same happened here.

Intense Jealousy

im unemployed since like a month ago

it'd be great if depression didnt kinda prevent me from enjoying this game too

did I get too real

 

[Grazzt]

So how many companions and quests can I find in the 1st village?

 

[Chance Hale]

Work has been threatening lay offs so I will probably have 10 days off soon too, huzzah!

 

[Shake Appeal]

I am ashamed to say I bought a barbarian adventurer to roll out the last of the

Spoiler

Shades in the Eothasian temple. And then I remembered it's mostly pointless from an XP standpoint.

Then I went and clobbered those goddamn

Spoiler

bears.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Does anyone know where I can find some meat? I need two as ingredients for some dishes.

I tried killing a deer in Magran's Fork but didn't get anything, so I'm wondering what enemies drop it if they don't. Or maybe someone sells it later.

That is what that is for!?

Spoiler

I left him alone since I thought killing him/not killing him was the quest and would come up later. Didn't think to go back and feed him.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

So how many companions and quests can I find in the 1st village?

Spoiler

2 companions, 3 if you go out of town to the south and search the road.

 

[Landford]

Collecting traps and setting the weirdest ambushes is kinda like a game in itself.

Spoiler

Welcome to MY dungeon, Osrya

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

same, except once I get to the GAF Inn I'm going to meta roleplay and complain about the rest of the game without having played it.

You got the game!!!

 

[Chance Hale]

I haven't had any trouble so far outside of the

Spoiler

rodrick

fight but I've been having at least one guy get knocked out in most fights. Not the best way of fighting, lol.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I honestly can't remember enjoying the opening hours of a game more than this one since, like, 1999 and Planescape: Torment. I've enjoyed this more than the opening hours of BG2.

 

[Korranator]

So for those who have played D:OS, how would you compare the two games so far? Other than the obvious RtWp versus turn based.

 

[Grazzt]

Spoiler

2 companions, 3 if you go out of town to the south and search the road.

Spoiler

I just finished the temple with those 2 companions in town, and I noticed that some dialogs required someone else. Did it matter? And where is the pregnant women quest someone mentioned above?

 

[Aaron D.]

Yea I mapped scrolling to WASD and put slow mo on Q and fast forward on E. Works great.

Brilliant.

Tried this and it made navigation 100x smoother.

Props.

 

[Salsa]

fast forward all the time + quicksaving every 1 minute + quick loading when you get fucked for using fast forward all the time

Wait what do you use for attack?

 

[bobnowhere]

So in Raedric's Hold,

Spoiler

the guy said something about a vault? Where is that?

Might be in the

Spoiler

Dungeon. I'm there right now and past the crypts is a door that requires a key that isn't anywhere in the area. Head downstairs from the kitchen.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

I need to do this. The bug that causes cage cursor to randomly turn on and off is driving me insane when trying to scroll to the right with the mouse. And like others, I don't want to keep having to move my hand to different parts of the keyboard.

Thanks to years of PC gaming my fingers permanently hover over WASD on reflex. I need to do this to.

 

[Ozium]

Wait what do you use for attack?

probably just the icon in the bottom left, attack are auto-attack unless you are near death or you've used a secondary command, in which case you are probably unpausing and pausing anyways.

plus if you hold shift you can queue command so you could shift click a secondary attack that causes interrupts and then shift click the attack icon and unpause.

 

[infi]

Got a quick question about level 3 of Od Nua if anyone can help me

Spoiler

I'm guessing that you need to put a sabre in the hands of the statue on this level but I can't find it. Is it not on this level of Od Nua or have I missed it somewhere?

 

[Haly]

I regularly confuse/charm targets so i like to have A handy for force attack.
