Well, you can buy them.
So far though, I usually find more than I can carry (not that you can carry many on hard).
Yep. That was brutal...I only sided so I didn't have to fight my way out of that room at the time 
I'm regretting assigning Durance to an adventure at the stronghold. He's the only major buffer/healer I have. I should have created a custom adventurer and had them take the mission.

I mean, if I buy all 3 of the camping supplies at a vendor, will they never get more?
Nope. I think the only exception is the one at the stronghold that always have 1 all the time.
lol what the shit is up with double clicking and erasing effects in this game?
Ah, that's what you meant. No idea, as I said I never had the opportunity to buy any.

Have that as well. I didnt do anything, its like that after many hours/turns. No consequences. Guess the bug is just for The text.
I saw that. Still, a lot better then what I initially thought!

From what I've played the game doesn't want you to fixate on some weapon, I'm seeing little weapon specialization among the abilities/feats. I think you're encouraged/supposed to switch weapons around depending on the enemy.
A two handed weapon can be better than dual light weapons, against enemies with average deflection and high damage reduction.
Gators are falling over themselves in ecstasy over it, claiming Obsidian is on their side. Sickening.

Well, every map seems to have at least 1 or 2 lying around, and I usually only use them in dungeons right before picking up a replacement. I'm frugal. And whenever possible I use inns, since the bonus is easily worth the tiny expense.
u shouldn't be using camping supplies that often
I'm basically stuck at the decision at the very end of the "At all cost" questline (Vailian trade post in Ondra's Gift).
It's a split between what I want to do and the amount of content and quests that choice would cut out of this playthrough if I decided to go down that road.
I may just leave that decision for later and concentrate on other questlines for a while.

Talking about quests, I've just finished up the Raederic one. Really impressed with the amount of options open to you, like how you want to enter the keep itself, the people you bump into who you can engage in combat or dialogue to make progress easier and how the choices conflict with each other. And to top it all that's a side quest.
You can always recruit person or two while you fill out your party with actual companions.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Hire some adventurers in the inn. The early game is very rough if you don't.
I'll try doing that. I'm running with a Barbarian with Might/Con/Per as focus and no shields. Maybe that's what I'm also doing wrong, it's my first time not playing as a Fighter or Paladin and I can't remember the last time I played a CRPG haha, I didn't suck like this back then :c
Dunno if I should go for the sidequests already, create anothe character with a class more familiar to me or explore the dungeon at Gilded Vale.
Would like to know this too.

So no one else has the delay in menu interaction and delay in the audio dialog?

That's more than I've played anything I can remember on the first (long) weekend in years.
I think this game is good.
Also, I still have tons of quests open in chapter 2.
That's ... A lot. Do you still sleep or did you ascend to a new plane of existence? xD I try to kill the hype with some Realms of Arkania. Happy everyone loves the game. Will play it in summer/winter. Looking forward. But damn, waiting for patches and sales can be hard sometimes
I have that same bug. It's very unfortunate.
Come on, 39 hours in 3.5 days leaves ample time for sleep
I even managed to spend ~4 hours across those 3 days on necessary real-life tasks.
I was seriously dreading the point when I left the keep after that quest. Luckily it worked out for me. Seems like it's easily the worst bug in the game.
I feel the same, I haven't had this much fun doing side quest in a long time, even the simplest one often have some kind of quirk or twist in the end.
Also, all of them include some kind of unique content made specifically for the quest (npcs, enemies, even entire areas in the bigger ones) and seldom there are multiple outcomes, some of which you can miss entirely if you're not thorough.

Anyone playing a melee DPS apart from a rogue? Barbs / fighters seem useless. DR and accuracy is absurd for melee characters.
Don't even get me started on Paladins.

He comes with the Ruffian Weapon specialization, which includes Sabres. Its only an accuracy bonus but its better than nothing.

Hehe yeah there's enough sleep along the way. But I'm happy if I have the time to play 2h a day, so 39h in 3 days is ... Shocking at first sight^^

How often should I be attempting to talk with party members? I don't want to continually stop and try to talk to my party every time something minor happens but I also don't want to miss out on the party member dialogue.
I'll probably have to do the same soon, though I usually just archive the saves and don't delete them.
I beat ya Durante! (and I'm just at the beginning of act 2)
Also, I've just spent the last 5 minutes deleting most of my 100 saves or so because it was starting to take up to 10 seconds to open the save game page. (Yes I save a lot, and yes I do quicksaves too)
I did take Friday off at work specifically to play the game. So worth it.
A little chat box will appear on their portrait when something comes up.
There's a speech bubble on their portrait when they have anything to talk about.
I will try them out.
So anyone did Dyrford village before Defiance Bay?
I seem to get smacked around a lot. I didn't have this much trouble in the beta.
^ doing that now, because companions
there's a speaech bubble icon on the portrait on the portrait if they have something new to say

if it was up to me I give him two shields if I could
I'd recommend either dinking around in town a bit more until you get the second companion (a tank fighter) or hiring a fighter or paladin. Playing the early game without a tank is rough.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Can you fail the stronghold quests by sending somebody who is underleveled? Or can I just create 3 Level 1 dorks to do all the stuff for me?
