Why in god's name are you morons watching a stream 3 days before launch. You already know you're playing and buying this, dont' you? All that accomplishes is you're ruining the game for yourself.
To some extent, knowing "spoilers" in advance can enhance someone's enjoyment of a story. It's more likely that this applies to a general description rather than specifically seeing bits ahead of time (e.g. hearing "it turns out the gods aren't real" vs watching the Iovara and Thaos conversations in their entirety) but still

I think the dialogue VO actually improves things considerably. With all the accents, weird sentence structures and strange words and expressions it feels like you're driving over rocks when just reading...

So I take it that with the new system we can no longer have our mages learn new spells from pillaged grimoires?

I hate the VO narration though. I hope this narrator won't be doing every ending slide

Cool. Also, can we use spells in a grimoire even if its from a school we're locked off from for taking one of the sub-classes?

How do power levels affect spells?

Something simple like Mental Binding, on CC when mouseovered it says Paralyze/Immobilize for 6 sec. That's presumably on PL1, what's the duration at PL5/10+ ?

Multiclassing felt pretty strong in the beta. Playing a Fighter/Cipher in the last iteration of the beta felt like playing a dynasty warriors character.

Seems like they got a big ole balance pass in before release. Nerfs all round seems fairly balanced from the looks of things.

How much of the game can the streamers play? Man, we're going to get info on the game before it even comes out.
