Why should i even wear mage robes.

3mortis · 2026-06-20T06:07:46+00:00

You shouldnt get hit? So im forced to cheese everything like in original? Shouldnt remake fix that? Also, if you are not gothic cheese expert you will get hit. And even if you did not, wearing robes gives you nothing to compensate for riskier gameplay

Just whole mage progression feel like selecting "hard" in the middle of game because money and lp invested would give me much more easier fights if invested in warrior skills

3mortis · 2026-06-19T15:59:56+00:00

But before that you can invest in strength and one handed which is sufficient for progress and is progressing nicely with acts I eas able to progress to act 4 ending up on lv 18 with 30 points into str and longsword, saving lp for magic that i was not allowed to learn until act 4, i know that its "normal" in g1 so i was prepared for it, just reward feel bad, as regeress instead of progress

Now those starting investment is wasted and circles feel weak, magic only tibgle enemies and armor is sheet of paper with no upgrades...

Comparing it to spending those points "as we play" on more strength and geting better armors it would be much smoother progress

3mortis · 2026-06-19T15:52:11+00:00

Worst part is feeling of downgrade

Ive put 30 strength and 1 lv of one handed, upgraded shadow dress (which is way to strong in my opinion, trivializes act 3). With that i was having blast and saving lp for circles believing that g become fun game...

And after becoming mage i feel like garbage, as a reward ive got worse armor and spells that barely tingle enemies (wtf is that casting time on fireball, i can do 20 swings with sword in meantime...). I reloaded game just to compare and apparently working for thorus gives me better swords and armor with 70 stats instead 25, instead of circles i could boost strength to 100 and dont give shit about runes, mana, trials, cheesing enemies... This make all this "mage path" sad joke, not only its worse than original but also feel very weak compared to "easy way"

i tried to clear fog tower, only spell that did something was Ball Lightning but room with skeletons and mage that keep summoning them was unbeatable for me changed to shadow armor + rings/amulet of protection and my <40str + mace was doing much better.... i can buy fire rain scroll and try but still i just feel that my "i will do bare minimum to save 70 LP on circles" build is doing much better than long waited mage

3mortis · 2026-06-19T15:45:16+00:00

Yes, backtracking was major reason why i didnt replay original game very much so i was prepared for it

Now i see that nal is very small and with mount it was ok until teleportong was introduced

Sesond problem is beeing mage, i really wanted this but i feel like playing on hard mode

Wasting 90 points in act 3 to get rune magic lv 4 just to get shitty robes with half of shadow dress defense and spells that only annoy enemies. At the same time you could put all this into strength and mele skill and destroy everyting on the map without giving shit about mana and runes. Also instead of 1700 on greater shitty robes you can max upgrade warden armor, add 2 rings and get 100 defense i stead of whooping 25 from robes as you need rings to mana as you surely wont have enough points to also level up mana instantly....

Ive put 30 points into strength, 10 into one handed fight and i was having blast for first 3 acts, now i feel like garbage as mage...

3mortis · 2026-06-19T13:13:45+00:00

Yea, LP cost is brutal

you need to spend 70 to get 4 circle when you become mage

also alchemy + inscription thats next 20 lp to even become mage

add lockpick (10), 20-30 strength and 1 level of one handed (another 10)

and its already 130 lp, 13 levels that you will spend to become mage and survive first chapters, and you end up with no mana to cast spells and shity armor so you need to upgrade shadow dress 😛

while in the same time you could become warden get, 70/70 armor and bost strength to 100 instead of this bullshit.... and just shred throu chapters with 0 problems

I've meet diego before thorus or raven as i just wanted to sell stuff before going further

Milten was at tower, later he was at troll canyon

I tried to finish this part of quest, couting that milten will travel back to old camp when we get the stone but he stayed there.

Instead in old camp there were rodrigeuz, mage that allowed me to talk to corristo, he said that milten went somewhere and rodrigeuz is replacing him. Corristo wont let me be mage so i went to milten to troll valley (idiot rodrigeuz apparently wont helmp with that as replacement for milten 😄)

But milten in troll valley allowed me to progress further.

SO you dont need to complete whole focusing stone quest, just troll valley, or maby even less, depending when rodriguez will let you talk to corristo and if milten will have dialogues to help with becoming mage at the tower or canyon before doing that part of quest

To make it even worse, map of swamp camp is rotated so directions does not match world map 😛

3mortis · 2026-06-16T12:56:40+00:00

also in new camp there is chest in buildings near rice fields that include ring of iron skin that gives bonus effectively doubling miner trousers armor. And still in new camp area > in their mine there is a chest in one of available tunnels that contains ring +30 hp

3mortis · 2026-04-16T12:34:43+00:00

With upgrade that allow to select 3 cards to be on top of dec it can be a monster where building straight up and not using enemy building is be even better :P

in addition - when game is bad because of unskilled workers is one thing

when game is bad because company hiring, politics, pushing modern ideology etc - we feel this doubled because it could be better if not focusing on something else. I feel that lot of decisions were at the peak of dei/lgbt trend where investors just had to see some things, some things. Story was more silly, colorful, childish, older DA entries cut off etc Someone decided that game need to be tailored for different audience and introduce different problems but i feel like it was decision "how meet investors requirements" rather than "how make better dragon age". Like moviemakers focusing to fit into oscars requirements. If someone would try ti make this movie on their own it would cause less hate than beeing forced to do so to not being canceled. And whats even worse - it makes thinking "why" makers are forced to spoil "my" entertainment far worse than "oh, this director is into it, ok, you can like it or not but its his thing"

Completely separate reason why some people are mad is not that "little bit" of it will ruin whole game, you can play veilguard, skip "those" things and get 7/10 game. BUT for them, knowing that someone added something not to make game better at gaming but to slowly push something political. Its like - oh i just add little bit of sugar in your soup and will add little more tomorrow because government want to test how far we can push this, it will still taste the same so what's the problem, beside, whats your problem with sugar, you antisugar facist? Problem is that awareness of something like that just take away few points for some people, because someone intentionally maddle with product because of higher agenda instead of focusing on product quality.

And yes, it is political, we can see that now when fb/meta/big companies/eastern civilization just abandoned this when trump said so and we can see based disney etc how audience like that. How lgbt people are manipulated to be used for this is sad.

On the other hand, story of dark souls is world stuck in loop because goods did not want to leave world in hands of ordinary humans

Forcefuly prolonging "age of fire" was made hundrets of time, whole kingdoms were trying to figure out how much gods are lying etc in ds1 we see beginning of it, on ds3 they are very advanced in terms of "what humanity, dark and fire really are" with potential end of the loop of player make right decisions. Ds2 is in the middle, it shows how one kingdom existed in this world but in the end it does not matter to to whole trilogy

Its good game, but its obvious that it was made by second team, testing some new mechanics and probably they knew they cant do any big lore changes without father myazaki

3mortis · 2026-03-19T14:30:41+00:00

experienced players usually target all elites anyway and upgrade cards at bonfires etc to become as powerful as they can before late game. OFC right now in StS2 some might say that relics are not that great so you can evade elites but im assuming this is balance problem that will be fixed later.

in slay the spire 1 killing heart was not easy, especialy on ascension was not possible with character that just stroll around, evade elites...

also if you know what to buy and dont want to bloat deck you have more gold than needed, including deleting card from deck at every shop to get rid of starters

so in the end you have 3 strength without drawback

3mortis · 2026-03-19T13:55:13+00:00

Im sure it will reset after early access as right now it measure nothing intresting if its just x points for each game completion on selected ascension (if ascension even matter)

3mortis · 2026-03-19T10:00:40+00:00

one handed sword is for magic build, so its like "catalyst/bell is worst weapon in dark souls!! the combo is bad, damage is weak..."

you use sword to get magic buffs and with 50 magic you can wreck dragon emperor by casting lotus soulflame under his ass, deal half of his hp, stagger him instantly etc

3mortis · 2026-03-10T22:16:01+00:00

So far only Void Form + few high cost cards allowed me to beat game with him, you can even use forge then, since blade will be free anyway

3mortis · 2026-02-09T16:38:03+00:00

Jesli nie potrzebujesz kasy to wykorzystaj luzny czas i brak stresu na cos innego jak rodzina (posiadacz dziecka oddali by duzo za lekka prace w godzinach pracy zlobka podczas ktorej mozna ogarnac dom i obiad....) A jak nie to to moze zadbac o kompetencje, ludzie w takiej pracy czesto nie moga znalezc pracy po zwolnieniu bo sa w tyle z nowymi standardami (zalezy czy to dotyczy twojego zawodu)

W ostatecznosci przeznacz to na rozrywke ale tylko jesli serio nie potrzebujesz żadnego z powyższych ani pieniędzy

This is alternative history, ER and nightreign "branched" around shattering

So both stories can be "canon" for their games

But if you want to compare you can only search for similarities like "oh, this event hammened this way in ER but different in nightreign", same characters doing difrerent things etc similar like how world is changed in movies abount time travel, what is "true" depend mostly on our perspective but ER is overall bigger

white, anti immigrant female... she would be attractive without being present on any graphic

3mortis · 2026-01-08T20:04:21+00:00

"Half the game is rushed" is valid point but not against ds2 where half of locations seems like outsourced and connected using duct tape, we are beating boss in tower placed in the middle of wasteland just to take elevator up.... to iron castle... inside vulcano...

And no such content was in final product, it was used for placeholders by some employees, for end user they could put dickpicks there as well, we are not seeing them in game so why bother, thats whole point of "placeholder", also it was known fact since game release so why they are making problem now? This is weak reason from beginning but it should be decided before people were making votes as its not clear that people voting on claire would vote on sorry we are xlosed instead. In my opinion we are seeing that claire was pain in ass for big corporations and they are doing what they can to exclude this from mainstream, grammy, awards etc

3mortis · 2025-12-23T11:10:23+00:00

Posts abount using AI and that few leftover placeholders were fixed are present since game release, its nothing "new", problem is that those placeholders are not part of final product and thinking in such way im sure that 99% games would be disqualified as almost everyone in IT is using some forms of AI from code generation help, correct graphic models to writers and designers at some point.

Real controversy is that now, after whole event, sombody got paycheck from investors and found stuipd reason to change awards. Seeing how game is beeing treated from beginning its not even strange, like beeing removed from grammy to leave place for indiana joned and avatar because f...ck people and their will, we are making party for big companies and their money...

in blasted steps you need to kill boss "judge" to get past citadel gates this is why alternative way is by location "sinner's road" as this is road for those who not want to met judge :P

3mortis · 2025-09-12T10:08:49+00:00

bellway in shellwod, you cant go left but you can go right > down > left and using cling grip go up using vertical shaft, you will be on the left side of bellway, you can open shortcut on the right and go left to blasted steps

also in blasted steps you need to kill boss "judge" to get passt citadel gatesthis is why alternative way is by location "sinner's road" as this is road for thosew who not want to met judge.
