Did you do "Queen of thorns"? Also, you can't warn him about the orks.
He's part of the guild questline.
Can't quite remember why I named him.
ok...
so who the fuck is this breakwater friend????????
DEX melee and STR ranged was already a thing in NotR, they just made it so pretty much every combination of stat and weapon skill is represented more or less equally. There's plenty of STR 1h. As is always the case with loot, if you spec for STR 1h, all you will find is DEX 1h and vice versa.
To be honest,i too would go for the cunt over the dumb brother. I would prefer the side of the chad wolfs over joining the most useless group of the most useless god lol. Funny how people salivate and screech about CnC yet the game have zero of it in its main quest lol.The "right" way: "Yes Ivy, I know you were a party to my brother's kidnapping, brutal torture and murder, tried to manipulate me for your gain and attempted to have me killed when I proved inconvenient, but you feel sad about it so I forgive you. Now lemme smash."Btw. Marvin can get a womban in the end if you do things right.
Anyway, I've found "open lock" rune and decided to free citizens of Archolos of their possessions. The fire mages have a blueprint for an extremely strong one handed sword in their quarters.
The wolves have: "we wuz kangz!" tier mentality.
Dex weapons have higher damage because when you score a critical hit strenght is added to damage not dexterity so to compensate they made dex weapons have higher damage. Still I think 160 damage strenght weapon would have higher dps than this with all the critical hits.Anyway, I've found "open lock" rune and decided to free citizens of Archolos of their possessions.

If you complete arena in the slums you will get a decent one handed sword. There's a good sword that is guarded by undead paladins and skeleton mage, it's in a tomb in a graveyard to the west of entrance to Vardhal valley. In chapter 3 and onwards good one handed weapons will start appearing in merchants inventories. But frankly, I think that dexterity weapons are pretty crazy in Archolos, just look at this thing:
For comparison, the strongest one handed strength sword I've ever seen looks like this:
ok jew
Those are the two best 1h for each stat, yeah. Given that damage formula for melee is weapon damage + STR on crits (divided by 10 on non-crits), pure ore would deal 420 damage when you are ready to equip it while sailor woud deal 290 assuming no STR bonuses at all. You would need 140 STR on top of 175 DEX for sailor to deal the same damage as pure ore at 200 STR, no DEX required.Anyway, I've found "open lock" rune and decided to free citizens of Archolos of their possessions.

Given the insane amount of bonuses you can get throughout the game, I wouldn't be surprised if combining strength and dexterity gives you the biggest numbers, however I'm not sure about this. Here are my stats just before the final boss fight. I imagine that it's actually possible to get the best of both.
There's tons of bonuses yeah, but I don't think enough to make getting both 175 DEX and 140 STR easier than just 200 STR. We are talking a 25 point difference between DEX and STR reqs, I don't think getting a different stat from 10 to 140 is easier than just 25 more into one stat. Pure STR seems like it's still the way to go for pure melee as it should be. No way to tell for 100% sure until we get a spreadsheet of all perma bonuses in-game, but I'm pretty sure. I will adjust my judgment when I finish the game, I'm doing pure DEX ranged so I will have a pretty good idea I think.Given the insane amount of bonuses you can get throughout the game, I wouldn't be surprised if combining strength and dexterity gives you the biggest numbers, however I'm not sure about this.

Talk to Viktor he will take care of him while you are gone.
