Medullah posted:Alright I'm largely trying to explore and find stuff on my own but I heard from a friend that there was a (Act 3 near the end) Bone Dragon, and I hadn't seen ANYTHING hinting towards that so I was weak and googled where to find him. I was able to get through the puzzles fairly easily, but how in the hell did anyone figure out that you had to electrocute the torches to open the hidden gate to his lair? I don't remember reading any hints or anything that would lead me to try that. I think the type of dragon is kind of a hint too? If you know what sort of dragon he is and know that they have lightning breath, just like the dragonborn if you choose one of that type

Wow, magic missile really made the Orin fight a bit of a pushover. That and Owlbear Jaheria coming in for a landing. At first, I reluctantly benched Karlach for her to get more city content, but I think Jaheria might be my favourite companion. Her character is great, but the tools she gets in her default setup are where she really shines for me, Guidance and Enhance Ability for rolls, having a few ccs to compliment Gale and my lore bard Tav, and wild shape for exploration/ aforementioned dropping on enemies from a height

On my Durge run I made the dead snitch stab 'herself', then when dude came round he was like AG YOU'VE KILLED ME, when it's like bro you're such a freak I thought you'd be into that? And then when he attacked me he'd lost like 10HP out of 98. Literally just have a kip and stop being such a bitch!

Kingtheninja posted:On a durge run and I killed the strange ox in the Grove (usually I kill him in act 3). Was looking up info about it and saw an old post saying dammon disappears from act 2 if you kill the ox in act 1. Is this still a thing? I'll have to reload a very old save if so. I was looking forward to seeing his act 3 quest to conclusion on this play through once I learned that not all dialogue options result in killing him. But then I didn’t even notice the stupid loving apple on the ground and when I went into the Lower City it auto failed  I assumed the item went into my inventory not onto the ground in a spot I couldn’t even see. It’s also dumb as hell that I can’t go back and pick it up for quest credit. It’s still right there! Game literally unplayable Zodium posted:doing my hm run with a bunch of personal rules like no pickpocketing, and I never realized how much discount you can work up until I couldn't just steal whatever I wanted. the 1/LR envoy's amulet with +2 persuasion is actually really good now! I have -131% discount with my friendly vendors Dammon, Talli and Tarv. My tav is a sorcerer with I think 24 CHA through various means and I have a -200% discount with Dammon lmao. I had to respec at some point and took advantage of buying cheap max approval at level 1. My only regret is that he doesn’t have much gold so I can’t even sell him more than a couple random pieces of armor before he’s broke again. If he had deeper pockets… I would have an even more absurd amount of gold I guess

One stab: good enough, creep loses 5 HP but teleports away when the conversation ends. Breaks Ancients & Devotion Oath. Two stabs: too far, creep loses 10 HP and fights back when the conversation ends. Another way to break Ancients & Devotion Oath. Shame: acceptable, nobody takes physical damage. Yet another way to break Ancients & Devotion Oath. Forgive: creep immediately turns hostile, no raven gloves rewarded. Breaks Vengeance Oath. Suggest stabbing and then instantly backpedaling: creep immediately turns hostile, no raven gloves rewarded. This also breaks Vengeance Oath

My gaming laptop is only two years old and runs the game smoothly, but by golly the fan starts working overtime. Sounds like the laptop is going to take off. It’s odd because the game sets itself to ultra when I use the “determine preferred graphics settings”. But even when I lower the graphics the laptop just whirrrrrrs away. Diagnostic software indicates the comp gets to mid 70s temp with spikes above. I usually play games like heroes of the storm so I’m not used to the fans going so hard. Unsure if the temps get high because I haven’t previously checked with previous games. But other than that the first 30 minutes of the game have been super fun so far! A bit daunting and overwhelming but still fun lol

It’s very funny to me that a guy is standing on top of what’s basically one giant mass grave of a town and going “you know I got a real bone to pick here. with exactly one person. who was only very slightly involved in a very small fraction of what happened here. Also they’re already dead. No, I have absolutely no relation to her or anyone else here, why do you ask?”

GokuGoesSSj69 posted:That's interesting I just figured he was another shadow druid, knowing nothing about them other that they seem to be emo druids. Shadow Druids are basically the Earth First movement of the druid world; they prioritize nature above intelligent life, sometimes to the point of trying to destroy settlements that they see as encroaching on the natural world. I think there are a couple of books to that effect somewhere in the game, but nobody really goes out of their way to explain what their whole deal is if you don't find those.

You can say that to his face and he's like yea. by that point you've already helped him so it's a bit late to be worrying about motivations

played all the way through honor mode (after losing my last honor mode save at Orin), smoked Raphael and Orin, made a deal with gortash and had gale blow himself up to win only to get the tactician victory achievement (but not honor mode) and no golden dice. we’re done here.

I went back to this save after the Orin failure, so maybe it got weirded out by my having an intervening run? No idea, and yeah idc about the dice at this point. Just think it’s weird that the save says honor mode but it doesn’t necessarily mean it counts as honor mode.

Very normal things.

So I'm sitting on a ton of Infernal Iron along with Enriched Infernal Iron in late Act 3. I go to Dammon with Karlach and there's no dialogue options for further upgrades, and her story is showing complete on my quest list - is there anything to do with it other than sell it?

 Next question. This round I'm playing easy so it doesn't really matter much, but I want to get a better understanding of the systems. Looking at my Druid, picked two different weapons - a staff with Shillelagh activated and a mace. She has proficiency in both. Looking at the Mace it shows the damage on the item screen as 10-20 and the staff as 7-14 damage, however on the actual character sheet they show identical Attack Bonus and Damage. Is the attack bonus rating not taking the 1d6 poison from the Mace into effect?
