Is there a way to tell which skills will trigger an attack of opportunity? I thought it was just attacks, but war hymn seems to trigger it as well.

Runa posted:If your eyes glaze over reading the descriptions of abilities just google Argenta Arch-Militant build and let someone else do the legwork for you. Because of google being poo poo now and how hard it was to find guides for Wrath until someone explicitly linked them I honestly hadn't even tried to find one. Honestly yea levelling in this is awful. Pillars 1 had a sort of similar issue where about half way to max you'd be "done" and just picking randomly and I almost feel like that here. Maybe if I started over I'd have a better idea than I did at the start of this.

War hymn counts as an attack for the purpose of triggering AoOs because one of the talents associated with it causes it to damage daemonic enemies within range.  IIRC the only completely non-damaging action that causes an AoO is reloading a gun.

That would be amazing. Honestly I think my issue is just not understanding how the versitility stuff stacked, I thought it was just on melee attacks and I didn't do them so my head went "Okay you can start with 3 and that's still nice" I also think Arch Militant is the ONLY promotion class that has a good Heroic. Can anyone tell me how I can work out which systems I didn't put extractors on? I thought it'd be marked not-green but either it's bugged or it doesn't work that way. I need some Flogiston and I know I've got loads out there I didn't get

Taear posted:That would be amazing. So when you’re on the expanse map there is a little i button near the bottom left. I think if you click that it gives you a list of all the systems/planets you’ve discovered and/or scanned. I’m not 100% sure if it shows whether you have an extractor or not but it’s worth checking.  For the arch-militant versatility stacking you just need to alternate attack types. That could be swapping between single shot and burst fire or shooting and melee, melee into melee area attack or even shooting and using the kick ability etc. The exception being the wildfire ability which specifically states that it grants a stack of versatility no matter what so you can burst -> wildfire -> burst. I’ll try and remember to get you my list of typed up builds after work. I also need to unfuck my pc, my wife woke me up this morning and showed me a picture of my screen saying it couldn’t boot properly so that’s fun.

This is what makes Wildfire with the Flashfire talent so strong. Once you've used the Arch Militant heroic actin and gotten up to 9 stacks of versatility you've got two completely AP free burst attacks that will both add additional Versatility Stacks. Get given 2 AP by an officer? that's 3 burst attacks with 3 additional stacks of Versatility. Get given just movement points via Move! Move! Move! and you've still got 2 burst attacks for 2 additional stacks of versatility. And there's also talents that give you bonuses to dodge and armor for each individual shot you've fired, It's how you end up mid-fight with Argenta looking like this:

The Reckless Rush ability with the All Out talent is super good too as it temporarily doubles your versatility stacks for free every turn allowing you to get the insanity going faster.

As far as I can tell that just tells me where I've already done it and doesn't seem to tell me "Hey, you can do stuff here!" Currently doing Pasqal's final quest step. gently caress this is a buggy one. It WORKS but you have to answer a specific quest bit with a random NPC in a specific order too. What's even weirder is the wrong order still gets the dialogue path you need but only ONE order actually updates the quest

I thought Pillars had a really great leveling system. Have you considered that maybe the rest of your life is too exhausting to also want to engage with new, dense rpg mechanics? Sometimes, people just want something comforting after a long day, and reading paragraphs of rules text isn't what they need. I've been there. Other times, something crunchy like this is exactly what I want. It really doesn't sound like you are in the headspace to enjoy an owlcat game, and that's OK. If the idea of googling for help is too much, maybe take a break? Edit: I understand wanting to beat a game, but you are clearly not able to interface with its systems right now if you can't beat fights on the easiest difficulty while thinking you've taken all of the good abilities. Even if you drag yourself to the end, what have you proven? KPC_Mammon fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jan 10, 2024 |

I wouldn't say that's a controversial opinion? And no I beat it on Story absolutely fine I just expect it to be like it is in Wrath (as in you put it on story mode and you basically just win the fight without having to do anything). I LIKE crunchy systems, I just think the one in this is kinda poo poo. Especially since nearly every fight you don't really need to care and it's only occasional ones where suddenly it's really hard and annoying. Big lists of tiny percentages of "if you do this or this happens" are just blah to me. Especially ones that require a lot of consistent ability usage. I don't like micromanagement busywork. This feels a LITTLE like pathfinder pre-buffs only you can't automate it Probably why i prefer pathfinder 2 so much compared to 1! Act 4 spoilers They all turn up and say goodbye but tell me that I've not got my relationship with them very high. Which made me kinda laugh because honestly everyone is above 10 and I'm saying that takes quite a lot of effort! It's been said but I think it might actually be impossible to get to the higher levels of the different factions, even if you super duper focus on it Taear fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Jan 10, 2024 |

I think I've broken my game? Act 4 ending spoilers. I go to the gateway. I fight the ships then some lady comes onto the ship who I also beat. Then I turn around and go back onto the ship. And now I can't do anything? I go to the system map and the gate isn't interactable with and nobody seems to have new dialogue. Not sure what to do Edit: unfortunately it seems the only answer is to download toybox. You know I think this is the first time ever I've played a game and been unfortunate enough to encounter a game ending bug, I guess I've been pretty lucky.

Terrible Opinions posted:I don't think it's an incitement of anyone's character, but it is weird to me that people rank Jae as particularly worthy of getting shot. It's something your character in universe has the power to do due to social standing, but she didn't really do anything wrong. Is there some sort of act 4 betrayal plot that I missed? Jae does some funky stuff if you romance her. More on the 'normal human behavior' side of funky stuff than like, Marazhai, but she releases your sex tape to the whole ship. CottonWolf posted:It makes very little sense to keep Idira around except for a Heretic playthrough where she’s regularly summoning “your pals” rather than “unholy abominations from hell”. First off, the demon summoning is a 5% thing(except for that one personal quest of hers) and she can use a gun just as well-second off, and maybe more relevant, is that Idira is a seer/diviner who is proven to give reliably accurate prophecies which range from foreshadowing to 'hey these guys are about to die/ambush us watch out'. Consider how much Heinrix was willing to sacrifice for the chance to see the future on Kiava Gamma. Compared to that, Idira's mild case of demon summoning isn't much. Preechr posted:By far the cruelest thing you can do in this game is to do the entire Yrliet romance and quest up until Quetza Temer, and then after her spirit stone breaks and her people exile her, tell her that this is what real revenge is, and you’re leaving her filthy treacherous xenos rear end to wander the jungles alone forever until Slaanesh takes her. Jesus christ. And here I was thinking the ending where you romance Marazhai as a heretic and he's stuck in a relationship he knows is literally going to kill him and send him to eternal superhell but can't stop coming back to you was kind of hosed.

I think the Yrilet romance is proper broken, you can't even trigger it with Toybox. You can at least flag it as "done" I guess. In fact it feels like anything that takes place aboard the ship after the Act 4 stuff is just broken for me. None of it will trigger. Just loads me onto the ship and that's it

In my around 100 hours of playing she’s only summoned a demon once. rng is rng though.

40k is absolutely terrible when it comes to math and scale. Finishing chapter 3 and I am not sure what to think about it, storywise and visually it was great to visit Dark City, but gameplay was extremely boring and linear. Should I put a pause now and wait until Chapter 4 onwards is patched or is it playable now?
