So has anybody find any actual use for the junk?

Right now only the shovel seems to have any purpose. I figued i'd carry a rope too but so far it seems it does shit. I'm also unclear if empy bottles have any use (can you fill them up with water for instance?).

Probably the leftover of cut DoS like crafting and item combination. In dos, you could fill bottles at barrels and so on.

so im strolling with ass/stalker build but I'm having problems with triggering surprise on enemies reliably. Can someone explain it to me slowly like if i was retarded?

otherwise I might just respec astarion into throwing thief barbarian(to utilize dex gloves + str robe along with barbarian con AC bonuses). Will get sneak dmg from thrown daggers
Too bad stalker extra action does not allow throwing.

I used a rope once, haven't found a use for anything else.

shovel is all you need rest tools and stuff that you would think you would need at some point are something I did not find any use
sell all junk button would be nice

 

[Lyric Suite]

Another thing that would be nice is stuff like scroll or gem containers etc. Wierd that they didn't put them in given that there's a trillion of different containers you can use. Sure you can shove that stuff in a pouch or backpack but would be nice to be able to spot the container you want at a glance.

somehow, with every larian game inventory management becomes worse

Three? I'm stuck in second act, but I played a lot in first in Early Access. I remember only two - side with horned ones or with goblins. Or you're counting Kagha as a separate route?

Spoiler

goblins vs druids
mushrooms vs fat mushrooms
duergar vs fanatic duergar


I wonder why there is no path to get tieflings to reach baldurs gate and trash druids with goblins

Goblins are monsters, enemies to all the sapient races. The only reason your party can side with them is because you have tadpoles, making you de facto leaders in their religion. I guess you could argue that whatever you say should go at that point, but your authority would then conflict with Minthara's, and she definitely outranks you and wants the grove sacked.

If it were possible to get the tieflings out of the grove peacefully then an option there would make sense, but the tieflings refuse to leave. You have to either slaughter them on behalf of kagha, or clear the road of goblins for them to continue their journey.

This particular goblins are different, there a part of universalist religion. Absolute have everybody, even drows. On paper is interesting concept - new religion that end all class and race differences.

Anybody with a tadpole. If there were a tadpoled leader among the tieflings then there would be an argument to be made, that seems to be the only exception. Anyone else would presumably be killed or forced into slavery.

For Absoluters tadpole is leveling up in their hierarchy, but you don't need to be tadpoled. For PC is set a choice - you want to go with Absolute or oppose for sake of opposition?

The persuade/deception/intimidate checks related to the goblin camp involve pretending to be a cultist, assuming you aren't simply accompanied by sazza. I think they are fundamentally hostile to anyone who isn't part of their religion already, rather than sunnily welcoming new converts. Your first exposure to the goblins is a raiding party murdering a bunch of the tieflings.

Technically you are one of them. You can follow this path, pretend to be one of them or kill them all. There is Absolute way later in game, but I'm still not sure how distinctive.

It's definitely painful.

For instance, is there a way to sort the inventory of vendors you meet? Because right now it's all over the place, especially if you start selling junk to them.

WHERE :O

Toggle the trade window then you can filter.

more throwing stuff:
- higher str improves range for non-throwable objects(like your enemy)
- solasta flying enemies were cooler. In here you can grab bat and throw down. Had a funny fight in last light inn. When it started ive grabbed one bat and just threw it far few stories down. It survived. Loaded and this time i threw it down at the barricade. This time extra dmg was dealt but dont know the specifics, will try to do it in other places. I've thrown team member at barrel, without elevation - only d4 dmg was dealt and throwing bonuses were missing
- 22str with items, too bad I can't use returning pike anymore since I need that halbert in my hands. I can throw almost everyone on the battlefield though
- fighting styles seem to work as long as you are not using returning weapon
- why have improvised weapon at all, when you can throw instead for higher dmg?

Enter turn based mode and position your party. Sneak up behind enemy with ass character, stab from unseen position.

Now at level 8 but noticing that Moonrise Tower enemies at level 9. Am I underleveled/underpowered?

There's a lot of stuff with no mechanical use other than to sell it. However, some of it can be placed in the world, like paintings or golden goblets and such. And therefore, technically, you can use it to decorate your camp. Same with jewelry that has no stats, mechanically just for sale value, but teeeeechnically you can equip it, so its not "trash". It has a purpose that 0.001% of the players will appreciate.

That's why a "sell all junk" button would have to be a mod, and not be added with a patch. Its not junk for everyone, I am sure someone out there is looking to complete his set of 6 silver plates and 6 silver goblets to put on the table at his camp.

I did the last Towers fight at level 8. It wasn't difficult.
The biggest issue is if a certain NPC there to "help you" gets mind controlled, because they/them are a 6 INT retard.

[Haplo]

That's a long list.
But the longest paragraph concerns "Cinematic" adjustments.

Warlocks keep their extra attacks stacking with martial extra attacks?

 

[volklore]

I think people who report about gameplay stuff are much less common than people who report bugs on the dragon age aspect of the game.
Funny that they included increased damage from Grim on tactician. Of all the gameplay changes I really didn't expect this to make the cut.

 

[Yosharian]

Patch nerfed almost nothing tbh

 

[Haplo]

Patch nerfed almost nothing tbh

Although...

• Fixed the Helm of Arcane Acuity crashing the game. The condition is now capped to 7 stacks.

Still plenty OP IMO. 3 would have been more balanced.

 

[Grunker]

The list of balance changes is laughably small. Hopefully they'll do an actually balance patch with a huge list of changes before I decide to start my next playthrough.

Gateway Timeout​

The gateway did not receive a timely responsefrom the upstream server or application.


Additionally, a 504 Gateway Timeouterror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Would be curious to know how much they buffed
