Which chests have a chance to contain worthwhile loot in the OC? I'm over checking all of them, and I thought the really big, square chests where the ones most likely to contain good loot, but now I'm not so sure.

IIRC, all chests have a random loot table. I think you can cheese it by saving before opening the chest, and if you didn't get a good item, simply reload the save and see if it contained something better this time.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the random tables differ by chest type though?

Intelligence and skills lowered but I have no active effects, and healing at the Temple of Tyr does nothing?

 

[Lacrymas]

Check your items? Some have penalties like that. Or maybe it's a class feature.

 

[Grunker]

• Respawn doesn't work
• Killing myself and DM-Healing doesn't work
• Unequipping items doesn't work
• Polymorphing doesn't work (the intelligence is correct to the creature I'm polymorphed into, but reverts back to the decreased intelligence afterwards)
• Greater restoration and similar do not work

Guys over at Discord says its an issue with the playerskin, whatever that means. They were very helpful and even tried fixing the save itself, which sort of worked, but the bug reappears on rest. They're stumped. That was potentially a quick kill for a playthrough lol.

 

[Lacrymas]

Don't use the PrC like I suggested in the beginning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Grunker]

…which you suggested because of balancing, not bugginess, so why even write that post. As if you somehow predicted a freak bug, lol.

Anyway, I suppose I could just increase my Intelligence with the console, that’ll be functionally identical to fixing it… There might be a decent chance the bug will even go away on chapter transition.

 

[Lacrymas]

You know how anal I am about balancing, but it causing bugs is even worse, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My man, PRC even has fucking spelling errors in race/class descriptions. Small letters instead of capital letters, etc. What do you expect? I used to get excited about this mod years ago, but when I tried it for the first time I realized it's bloated trash. Someone needs to do a PRC Redux or something. I assume 60% of it should be removed at least.

Lacrymas I'm playing Against the Cult of the Reptile God right now, liking the small scope and humble beginnings / low-magic.

The entire beginning is an invention of the author's, it isn't in the original PnP module, and it's the weakest part by far. It's not bad per se, just not as good as what comes after you get to Orlane (even immediately after the initial forest), so just push through it if you find it a bit underwhelming.

Shouldn’t use that. Should use the community version: https://neverwintervault.org/projec...l-hakpak/beamdogs-hd-art-pack-community-fixes

I can think of two reasons right off the bat to use the one I linked instead, either of which could be a false impression on my part (so please correct me):

1. There are certain objects in the HD pack you listed that look *horrible*, namely, the long sword model for a plain long sword +1. I mean it's wtf action with that thing.

2. I *think* there might be an exacerbation of the imfamous EE NPC stuttering problem when using the pack you linked.

Bruh I think it's because you're playing a woman.
And an elf to boot.

The underground abbey dungeon is actually more fun (exploring/puzzles/combat/reading lore) than I had whilst playing Pillars and Pathfinder games

Reminds me of Creator Ruins, the classic dungeon from OC

1. i use seperate weapon skins, so I wouldn’t know

2. I was informed issues were more likely with the old pack, have I been misinformed

If you want to enjoy the game more, don't open any chests/barrels/drawers, don't pick up any trash mob loot, and don't do the stupid companion quests.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

and don't do the stupid companion quests

Eh, those quests solve themselves as you go through the zones, zero ass effort.

I’m basically not opening anything at this point, but how do you get items, then? Even if you’re just buying, gold mainly seems to come from selling trash, so I’ve been opening the odd one now and again

Like ERYFKRAD said, I’ve basically solved the companion quests automatically so far. Whenever Sharwyn progressed to be ready to hand me the quest, I’ve already had the item.

The underground abbey is great, I was mostly referring to the forest and Fae Realm stuff before that.

Looting is pain. But if you want one type of chest to watch out for, it's DD. Sorry, I meant this one:

These fuckers are usually trapped and have a decent chance to have something good in them. The one on the right in this picture is the third best, and there's also a small light square box that's second place. The rest - don't even bother looting.

Thank you - exactly my question. So I was correct about those being the worthwhile chests. Not too much of a pain just opening primarily the big ones.

If you're looting everything. Which was the whole point of my post - don't loot everything.

Boss fights, quest rewards. The economy actually probably works better without the useless junk, and the game's far less annoying.

 

[Grauken]

That was potentially a quick kill for a playthrough lol.

Why not embrace a low int playthrough, imagine you're just an average codexer
