Water is not wet!
While true they still had to stick to D20 for KotOR 2 and the fps Bethsda Fallout for New Vegas.
Sure, the basic structure was fixed.
Also, talking about NWN2, I'll say again that I want metamagic feats in PoE
i laughed when i saw Sawyer in the achievement art
That Sawyer face is avatar-worthy.
Edit:
Act 1 spoilers:
Glancing at this thread, killing Raedric seems to be significantly more diffcult than killing Kolsc(I just dropped a meatball + a few fan of flames and everyone was dead)
There is already a fan patch for the translation errors in the German version:

I haven't fought Kolsc, but Raedric has quite a good set of bodyguards.
I had to resort to the "Fan of flames everything included my characters" tactic to solve that relatively quickly.

Do you have any companions out of the party, so they are based at the stronghold? Now that I have 5 written companions, I kicked my bought priest out and she is now based there. Some annoying guy turned up and I was able to assign her to escorting him off the property while I was on the road.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Waiting for a mod that'll let me have more then one pet. I have four right now, and I want them all.
No, I only have 5 companions and didn't make any new ones. Waiting for somebody so I can kick that useless Priest out of my party though.
I'm a huge idiot though, there was a "Caed Nua" button right in front of me the whole time and I ignored it.

You could try to
send in either your tankiest or most expendable character alone (or even better, if you have a Rogue that's learned the Invisibility skill) to do the dialogue bit, while the rest of your party waits off in a more defensible position you can lead them to.
It's mildly cheesy, but I couldn't see any other way to make it work on PotD.

Just buy someone at the local pub and have them take care of the stronghold missions while you are away. Not sure if the level has has any effect on the success of missions though.

I am doing something very wrong lol. I am getting wrecked in the temple below town so I decided to go to the woods and now a group of 6 wolves is murdering me
What difficulty level are you on? If normal, you should be able to clear the temple with your party of 3. If hard, go to the inn and hire an extra adventurer (or two).

I was able to do the temple thanks to my 2 tanks and 2 mages (lvl 2 and 3)
Those damn specters seems to only die fast with magic spells.
The 2 tanks were able to share the damages so Eder will not die faster than light by being solo tank.
My 5th character is a priest but she is unable to do a lot things since she is restricted at the moment only 2 or 3 spells. So the majority of the time she do basic attacks... since I was saving her spells for big pack of mobs.

So, just so I am understanding weapon buffs correctly;
If a weapon has an enchant that says +25% Crush damage, does that mean it does +25% Crush damage in addition to its normal damage or that it does +25% extra crush damage if it does Crush Damage?
Ex: The sword, Justice, does Slash/Pierce damage but has Crushing Lash: +25% Crush Damage.

Or just go get the priest character in the woods down south (iirc), with a party of 4 the temple shouldn't be too hard to clear.

I can't decide between Chanter or Cipher for my character aaahhhh. Whenever I play games like this, always struggle with character creation options.

The only way I could beat it was
by triggering the conversation with my ranger's pet, with my party camped at the bottom of the stairs, far away. The battle went very quickly when both Aloth and my druid could cast their AoE damage spells in peace... The battle was over in seconds, actually. Being so exposed is a real killer.
Then when ranged characters come into play, you can erase a few whooshes but result is the same.
I will say that this game needs another layer of something when it comes to inventory management. I think I've sold a good unique item I didn't mean to twice because I have 6000 items and the only visual categories for them are essentially 'shit' and 'anything that isn't absolute shit'. Plus, a lack of sorting options hurts just annoys me.
Yeah, I'm stuck at character creation too. I've played the opening 8ish times just trying out different classes. Next time I start up the game I'm just going to make what I feel like playing at that moment and stick with it. I figure it's not really the biggest deal what I pick as everything seems pretty awesome and I get 5 more characters to play with too.
It's not super easy, but it definetely could be more challenging, especially on Hard difficulty.

The former, I think. I don't know whether it's 25% of the damage before or after DR etc., though. Or whether there's a separate hit roll. Try hitting with it and then looking at the math in the combat log.
I dunno how Ciphers are but Chanters are a very passive class, you do basically nothing until you have 3 Phrases in and then you can use 1 active ability.
Then you have to wait for 3 more Phrases.
You basically are gonna rely on a pretty tanky and grindy kind of fight setup, based on outlasting the enemy.

It's in addition to normal damage, you get 25% of the actual damage inflicted (after DR) as a bonus. You can see the bonus values in detailed tooltips in the combat log.
It's slightly more complicated if they have different DR against crush than against your base damage, in which case it applies a proportion correction, i.e the 25% is worked out as if your base damage was crush. (I think.)

stupid sexy Eder
His voice acting is good. Don't know why but he sounds to me like Alvin from tales of xillia - which also sounds like Troy Baker lol.
It's only the upstairs that gets fixed, the downstairs you fix separately.
The bonus comes from building other things like the training ground will provide bonus to might if you rest in Brighthollow
I just woke up! Time for more Eternity! It's like I was thinking what I need to do while I was asleep
Quick question: Any good combo for lvl 2 wizard spells ?
Also, when I learn spells from other grimoires, why, when I want to change my spells and I click on my own grimoire, I see the spells I have bought from the other grimoires, but it said : not in grimoire.

Besides downsampling, what else would you expect? Most of what you see is a 2D image.
there are no grafix options, just rezolution

19 hours in, I need to take a break. Maybe do some homework, clean my room I dunno. Something to relax a bit.
It's clearly a bug, if you alt-tab while looking at the map it doesn't restore the texture correctly. Fixes itself if you reopen the map.
I agree that it's cool that's why I posted it

Played a few hours yesterday and manager to get to
kill rhadec or what is his name
I think I'm going to delve into this a bit soon. I completely forgot I had backed it!
Probably going to play a bit since I just beat Bloodborne and I kinda want to wait for more things to be discovered before doing my 2nd runthrough.
Time to look at the classes and see what is interesting... I remember the magic thief class piquing my interest for a bit.
