According to the unofficial yet kind of official prequel story for the Witch, she's actually a former Lunaris cultist and not some weird cave hobo.

Old shadow lines are the best but his new ones are a considerable drop in quality. Witch is consistently great though. Did templar get recast at some point? He's not as grating as I remember back in beta.

Speaking of Duelists, I like how, apparently according to Vagan, most of Daresso's best fights ended with one of the competitors immediately being exploded by lightning from twenty feet away.

I wonder if they're ever going to add PC voice lines for Acts 5 and on. I'd love to hear the Templar's take on working with literally Satan.

I seem to recall reading they're planning on it, they just didn't want to hold up the release of the latter acts because of it.

Everyone except for Sin, Zana and maybe Templar are evil and insane and deserve what happens to them. Oh and Nessa and maybe a few other act NPC's.

I really, really hope they do add the voicework, and I have since 3.0 dropped. I know it's not actually affecting the game in any mechanical way, but I'd really like to hear the Marauder's reaction to "yeah let's go get Kitava up in here", or the Templar's to Sin being a chill bro, or the Witch's to everything.

The Templar served the Order in Oriath for most of his life so he's hardly innocent (pun intended).

Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) is guilty, as is Into the Badlands (AMC) and The Colony (USA). The Showtime/HBOs strategy tends to be just adding breasts and calling it a day. I am grateful for POE allowing me to be blissfully unaware of it's story. D3 shoved it's terrible story down your throat with unskippable cutscenes.

I love PoE's story and undeniably the best part about it indeed is how it allows you to be blissfully unaware of it. Granted, it might sound like a downside to some, since what triggered this entire lore discussion is that one of the diablo refugees asked if there was a plot because he was underwhelmed at the lack of one, but I really think "subdued" is the way to go with ARPGs.

Any hot tips? Should be fairly easy to find a much better body armour for that amount of money. And if you can cover the resists somewhere, consider trying out bated breath for the massive es recharge https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Delve/PZkMsL there's quite a few options there with room for dex crafting. Fake-edit: Looking at it, you should be able to upgrade all your ES pieces fairly significantly either by buying already made items or by buying a bunch of dense fossils and crafting them yourself. I would recommend the second option but the first one is good too.

Yeena is probably the most consistently good natured NPC and she tells you not to trust Sin. Also Zana is by her own admission being changed (s h a p e d ? ? ?) by frequent Map exposure and Nessa is probably the new Brine Queen in Tsoatha or something

Elentor posted:The very beginning of the game as you select a class is basically you, a person who lived in a normal society, being exiled for your crimes. You've been sent on a death sentence and you don't exactly know how that death is gonna be, presumably you'll die of "natural" causes in the new continent. Everything you see (the gems that you equip, the undead) have a reason to be there. Your first bad guy is Piety who apparently is a representative of the people who sentenced you and she is in your shithole of a continent, and she's quarrelling you and the other exiles into the beaches with zombies and monsters and cursed creatures by blocking the way inland, and you're trying to mutually help the other exiles (the fact that the currency system is based on a "bargain" system with no centralized currency reflects the lore) so finding a way inland and figuring out why Piety is doing that or what is she doing in Wraeclast is your first big mystery.
