Hey, she came from Nippon! They had what, one Yasuke guy, and that's all. And he lived ~5 centuries after her time!

I used to do that in PKM for starting dungeon and start of Act 1 until I could get to full 6 man party. At least in PKM I did notice that when I would find new companions inside Act 1 they had less XP than my starting 6 because of this.

This is why I say that it might work same in this game as well, especially since I see they didn't fix XP display. If I am wrong, better for powergamers. I just keep XP sharing on for my normal run (where I plan to have 6 man in party) as this is how the game was designed and balanced. All you are doing by powergaming it is making your first run easier than it is designed. Don't complain later that combat is too easy, you probably outlevel it.

Why would I complain? The very fact that I have 1000+ hours on the beta should tell you what my opinion on the game is. I'm just letting people know how to squeeze out more exp for your whole party, while also keeping their exp values in line with each other. Ensuring everyone levels up at the same time and keeps them ahead of the curve.

I've already done all the chapters on the beta on core without using the trick or dipping. (I hate dipping.) So I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

I started Act 2 last night, still not had any forced dialogue poz interaction with Avenia and Irabeth.

Closest was that when I handed Irabeth a sword scabbard from the Grey Garrison, which was marked as a side quest, she mentioned hocking the sword itself to buy medical treatment for Avenia.

I had the option to pry further but I didn't.
The first time you meet Irabeth, you have a cutscene just to show them hugging and then a bunch of dialogue I skipped through but I can only imagine it was entirely about how lesbian they are for each other.
Funny, that's exactly the same way SJWs go about trying to detect some kind of *ism where there is none.
Blind assumption.
A couple hugging each other and maybe exchanging a few words after believing each other dead is hardly anything wrong.

And yes, you CAN pry further (later in the game), but you don't have to - which is as it should be.
It's not like you have to read/skip through pages of sob lesbian love story to get through the game. At least not as far as I've played.
I definitely skipped a bunch of dialog options that sounded like they'd be romance crap I'm not interested in.

One thing I definitely found noteworthy and assume the devs were just blind about is that pretty much every major character you meet in the first hours is female, while all male characters (except Lann) are side pieces at best.
It's somewhat odd and gives a wrong impression of the game overall (it is pretty even, e.g. with 7 male vs 7 female companions).

He gets it for free at lvl 2. You commonly take Feats with no prereqs early that don’t come into play until later if your other Feats you want have prereqs.
Does the game tell you about that?
Because if it doesn't, that's a design flaw. You can't expect people to check every single feat they'd like to take "will this be gotten automatically later on?". That's a QoL feature a character creator (no matter if in a game or for PnP) should do FOR you.
Or, if it is something that would be received automatically later on, if you'd receive it twice, the game should allow you to exchange one feat for another as to not lose out.

Then again, the game has respec, so... that's more of a user interface optimization.

Oh for fucks sake. He was whining about a choice the game made not about a choice the player makes.

Crybabies to the left of me, ignorant condescenders to the right. The game valuably keeps your options open and you phaggots still find two different ways to beclown yourselves desperately trying to pose as above it all.

You’re new. You should be standing under not lording over.

Why don't you love my game REEEEE

I just finished the second chapter.....and the siege was pretty good,tho a bit too long. Then they fucked it up. Made the capital and the muh council thingy a lot worst than in kingmaker. The capital is too big,slow to move around,pointless loading gates between content you need,slow loading also a bit of lag. Now you council is two ikea desks and five chairs....just sad. Your council is a bunch of retard giving you their opinion and you just choosing one. You can't pick your council people,you are just stuck with unlikeable people giving you stupid advices. Also that fucking tranny loving ork retard. She went mental and started whining about how demons would rape her futalover when the mission starter and i just threw her in jail,then she is all "yo brah,very cool battle,we showed them who is the boss" . Then i just talked to her about that shit and told her that she a useless idiot and sadly i can't just get rid of her....because muh reasons. The writing is so fucking bad and forceful on top of it. The most unlikeable characters you can't get rid yourself off.

Why are the bad guys just telling you their plans? I love this Scooby Doo shit writing. This is almost as bad as Diablo 3's writing. The only thing left to do is read Dear Diary messages from the lords of Hell.

Even Pillars of Eternity made you piece together things from clues and visions as well as talking to people. This game just shits out exposition when talking to the "bad guys". Faxon here is giving me hugely detailed accounts on what he is doing. I bet he was in an episode of Scooby Doo. Let me find him.

gj bulgarian. u are the hope of this thread.
torment of management is only in this chapter (3), then next chapter drops it for more classical adventuring.

although I personally screamed in pain when I saw the PKM card management again.

why do developers insist in shoving their shit minigames into perfect D&D formula?

I was still in the first chapter and already found three notes where the bad guys just wrote out everything the player needed to know in a numbered list.

If it were just the two in the tutorial, that'd be one thing, but apparently the devs think this is a normal thing to do.

I really wish Kickstarter backers weren't such sycophants and just told the devs (and everyone else) how bad their writing was. What's the point of a beta if you're not giving feedback to improve the game?

I even wrote a guide how to do it (you can turn it on and off inside dialogue trees to really milk it) but ArchAngel convinced me not to. I had done speedruns the last couple Beta tests so had forgotten how fun it was to struggle through consumables and all. Only two reloads so far (Dominated Wolj woke up from Slumber and ganked my main after the fight was over), going into fights on 1/3 health, buying Restorations scrolls etc...

I just got out of the prologue and the demon path rage bits are so hype. Beating the shit out of that Dwarf, having the Spider Cat Girl pledge her loyalty tho i must adimit that calling my char mistress is kinda.. weird. Also that Lann bitch got away, next time i'll kill him. Can't wait to see more of that Demon Path shit.
Honestly i glad that i took Wendy and Camilla is legit the best. :M Game is fun. Oh Bloodrager is good, kinda squishy but hits like a train.

I don't mind it,i liked kingmaker's kingdom building to an extend,the time limit was what made it annoying. Here it is worst because it feels just like a mobile game,the cut out the fun parts of it from kingmaker. How many chapters are in the game,5 ?

To be honest i feel bad for my girl. Imagine - being demon slayer in her homeland, coming to the west to help crusaders slay more demons. Expecting army of crusaders fighting demon horde and then you see... this. BAM - Paris Syndrome. Why all frenchmen are black and speak arabic?!

if only. 6 I hear
and from what pnp masters say, ch5 has some of the most retarded writing in history (something with discussions on natur of human soul with iomedae or something)
LoL it will be an experience,it is time to go get some sleep. It looks like a chapter per day will be me tact,unless i decide to go play some swordcoast legends or NWN original campaign,to wash that futa taste out of me mouth.

Baldurs Gate 3 is already superior to this bullshit made by russian Untermenschen.

lmao if you believe that, it's just different flavors of the same shit. Larian hires literal gaming journos to write for them, and if anything their style is even more hipster and over the top than Owlcat. I am not saying that as a compliment to Owlcat. At least WOTR has 1 or 2 rare normal people, in Larian's world EVERY companion has to be witty, bitchy, or hate your guts for no reason because that's so subversive and cool.
