Obligatum VII posted:This may be an unpopular opinion but I think Meteorn/Maelstrom are really bad on pawn sorcerers and not very good on play character sorcerers either. Maelstrom has a bit of a niche as physical damage with more reliable targeting than seism, but in all cases, the prescient/augural flare spell outperforms them. It casts in about 1/10 the time and does about as much damage but much faster and with an almost 100% chance of a knockdown when placed on a weak point if it doesn't just kill outright. I wouldn't know, I don't play magic vocations. But you can bet that if I unlocked a bigass aoe Maister skill which makes the game unplayable by obscuring everything until only a pile of dead bodies is left when it dissipates, I'm going to perma-slot it on my pawn.

My hired sorcerer does nothing 80% of fights but sometimes a pack of wolves eat meteors for no reason and I respect the choice.

I really only have two complaints about the Unmoored World. I wish that every enemy was automatically It’s stronger version instead of it still being regional because I think that makes a little bit more sense for EVERYTHING to be completely hosed up. And I wish some of the dragons were less loving annoying if you try to kill them solo. I realize that putting weak spots on climbable areas makes sense because they should be a little bit harder to reach but they shouldn’t also freak the gently caress out if you try and reach them. Also, they should let me parry grabs because fighter is fun and good and cool, but I get grabbed all the time by loving dragons Other than that honestly, I think I like this endgame more than the first games’s, although I think to really shine, you should be able to spawn the big guys more than once the lore and design is absolutely bonkers Also it’s weird that there’s no goregriffin

Or is there a way to tell which segments are say midnight and exact times? Or am I also missing something else?

Yeah that's the one. I always just zoned it out as background decoration, so I never noticed it actually moves.

If FEELS like the big sun is noon, considering it still needs time to rotate to the sun when you wake up in the morning.

When they work, they're too good to not have, particularly Meteoron. My Pawns are generally not interested in putting the flare down, but on occasion they're just going to delete a big enemy from existence in a single meteor cast. You realistically need two of the +25% cast, -200 HP rings though.

What the spell mages cast that is a giant light? Is it Holy? I play a Sorc and it's kinda of annoying only have limited spells as my goto. Thudner, Flare, Meteors and the Tornado - wish those were on their own buttons. But the rest of the spells suck. I could probably get away with never casting lightning but it's the only way to bring down flying enemies.

If flying enemies are low enough to the ground Frigor will hit them. Its hitbox is surprisingly tall.

The enemy flashes in the greeny colour of the bolt and you push it then, I feel like it's pretty generous timing all told.

For all the complaining online about dragonblight ruining saves, is that actually possible? If your pawn murders everybody in Bakbattahl before you hand over items to Ambrosius (or kill him by other means) and just don't wakestone him back, what happens? Is there some sanity check replacement for him like the Dragonforged, or does it actually leave you permanently unable to proceed? The only other showstopper NPC I can think of is the hermit fisherman, since talking to him is what opens up the seafloor shrine. Everybody else in the game could probably drop dead and at worst you'd lose your breadcrumbs and have to find the path to the ending the hard way.

I assume you can't skip that since you probably need to know what a Godsway is.

Any NPCs you don't revive immediately will just be at the morgue indefinitely. You can either go and revive them individually using a regular Wakestone, or use the Eternal Wakestone to revive the entire town in one go. If you don't realize you can do this, or don't want to for some reason, then yes I would assume you are stuck forever

Oh I thought people only stayed in the morgue for a few days. If they're in there forever I guess that's almost always fixable by tracking down some more wakestone shards.

Hel posted:Has anyone given the evidence to Brant instead? What happens then? He offers to help but only if you don't kill anybody (he'll still help if you kill somebody but he'll be mad about it). The help is limited to escorting you out of the area afterwards. There's also an option to tell Allard everything if you talk to him while he's leaving his house. I assume that doesn't go well for Wilhelmina.
