seriously immolating entire hordes and not even losing the bomb after three terrorist explosions is incredible. Be balaclava elf for maximum effect.

It's power creep but it's the kind of power creep where poo poo you ignored before because it wasn't 'optimal' is suddenly hilarious and great. The good kind.

I'm a hair critical of the new red trait combinations which are impossible to get normally, but the majority of this was just buffing stuff nobody ever used to the point of being worth considering now, rather than buffing everything including the OP stuff. (There were a few unnecessary buffs like targeteer and berserking, but not much). For the most part it just feels like they added way more options, much like 1.5 did for weapons. And they badly needed to revisit traits and trinkets, so I'm glad they finally did that all at once.


Only trait that that I think still really needs to be looked as is knockback. It's one of the only weak ones they left untouched.

for the longest time there was pretty much a certain set of trinkets and/or traits that you wanted to be running to do as well as you could, but the buffs actually make it so that other things are actually worth a drat. i'd be hard-pressed to call it power creep since players are still going to have to decide what they want to use over whatever else.

Really I'm just glad it's made more things more interesting to screw around with, you could already use pretty much whatever you wanted all the way up to nightmare, as long as you had a good handle on the game in general.

Me llamo Sarah Brandolino, the eighth Castilian of this magnificent marriage.
The vermintide secret is over. The devs apparently dropped a hint when most people were sleeping and it was enough to finish the objective. The statue placed in the first tome area spawns four books. Every character sees one book, so they have to figure out where to stand on their own. All players interact with the statue or some such and someone jumps in a portal that opens.

Here are the 5 palette swaps those lucky dogs won. When these are installed you will look like that for good, and you have to uninstall the DLC to revert back to original colors :lol:

Using music from Myth means you are good people.

Now I would like a 4 person co-op Myth game like this one. Hacking through the hordes of the Dark, getting loots as a Berserk, a Warrior, a Journeyman, an Archer, and a DWARF. Imagine getting to play a Myth Dwarf in one of these games. :allears:

i will say, one of the most delightful things about owning the channel is that when someone drives by and writes some barely legible bullshit spreading a ton of misinformation (one dude came by and said you didn't need to do the statue, and all the female/male books were interchangable - they're not) instead of tediously correcting them line by line and hoping everyone reads the whole thing, i can just delete the comment and move on with my life 10 seconds later.

The Skaven are gathering human skulls for some reason so we need to steal them and store them away somewhere safe. The Elf's room is already full so the main tavern room gets the excess.

Two important questions regarding the updates:

1. Is the Falchion still any good?

2. Is the Sword and Dagger any good?

The Falchion is still amazing, and the Sword and Dagger is still arguably the best melee weapon in the game.
