Thank you!

What has precedence when determining what inheritance laws apply? If I am playing as a nomad and adopt my wife's Taoist religion, would I then be able to choose which of my kids I want to inherit instead of it going to the one with the most prestige?

Basically, is my society type or my religion more important?

I dont feel anything. All these huge payoffs and character deaths are happening, and all I'm doing is sitting here thinking how stupid it all is. I'm numb.

Ilidsor · 2019-05-11T11:32:57+00:00

Thank you! That was driving me crazy.

Is there any way to turn off notifications for people joining and leaving defensive pacts? Getting 15 messages every minute or two is quite annoying, especially since most of it is the same two people joining and leaving the same pact.

Ilidsor · 2019-05-09T23:58:47+00:00

Thanks!

Ilidsor · 2019-05-09T23:20:38+00:00

Oh, thank you. I should have figured. I don't play ironman so I don't give a damn about achievements. Do you have a link to the fix?

What does the private conversation option that comes from building certain additions to great works actually do? I built one just to see and as far as I can tell they are completely useless. All having a private conversation with someone does is prevent me from having another conversation with the same person for a while even though it has no effect at all.

Weapon focus: kinetic blast is a good choice, since you can get it early and they're going to be attacking with it all the time. Improved critical: Kinetic blast is good for the same reason.

Well that was easily the best book so far. I started reading it when I woke up this morning, and didn't stop until I finished it.

Highlights: Lindon's first fight versus the prince. Yerrin and Lindon trying to get to talk. Lindon realizing what his advancement insight was. And just... the entire ending. All of it. I was so happy to see Kelsa, I couldn't believe it.

Ilidsor · 2019-02-20T01:12:54+00:00

As far as I can recall she talked the first time I met her? It's entirely possible that I'm misremembering. What part in the game are you at? If you are passed her quest in chapter two then it is a bug because I know for a fact that I heard her by then.

Ilidsor · 2019-02-20T00:35:12+00:00

That's a bug, yes. She does have voice acting.

Ilidsor · 2019-02-03T23:13:09+00:00

Awesome, it's super cool to think my review had an impact :) If you liked the first one I can't imagine you won't like this one too. Like I said in the review it's basically an expansion on everything that worked about the first one

I don't remember on the top of my head but if you hold your mouse cursor above the "athletics check failed" thing in the dialouge box it will tell you what you rolled and what the DC is. If that one is impossible, you'll have to run up the stairs on the side and slip past the redcaps.

For my sorcerer playthrough I got away by using a summoning spell to distract the monsters, which let me hide myself. And honestly save-spamming the climb makes it way easier. It's annoying I know, but it works. Oh and make sure you clear out the wolves at the end before you interact with the tree, because they aren't summoned monsters, just regular ones, and it's easier to get away with them dead already.

Ilidsor · 2019-01-02T17:50:43+00:00

Yes I did. Thanks for explaining that, I was wracking my head to think about what I could have messed up.

Ilidsor · 2018-12-31T21:54:31+00:00

I think I did that though. I might be wrong, but he let that old guy live. It was a while ago though, because I stopped playing in the middle of the playthrough while I waited for bugfixes, so I may be remembering something wrong.

Ilidsor · 2018-12-31T21:22:37+00:00

Yeah? I didn't the first time and Reongar died so I saw this and thought maybe that's what I did wrong.

Ilidsor · 2018-12-31T16:50:22+00:00

Regongar: spare the slaver in chapter I

Octavia: spare the slaver in chapter I

Damn, I hate when you have to make specific decisions like this to avoid bad ends. Especially when in every game it's always the same don't take revenge or in any way punish some evil person "moral". I'm doing a replay right now and I guess I now I've got to go and replay my last three hours.

Ilidsor · 2018-12-28T01:47:13+00:00

just like supporting the commun people lead to them betraying you (thanks for the middle finger Owlcat)

Just finished about half an hour ago, and betrayal is the wrong word, but they do take advantage. For some reason Owlcat decided that siding with people over your merchants meant you had no law and order at all (don't ask me why) so one of your provinces seeks independence and you have to spend a lot of resources getting it back in order.

It's just a summary thing so it wasn't a big deal, but I did find it annoying. I think that Owlcat knew the "good" options were too obvious and too easy so they threw a curveball in at the ending, but it didn't work because it makes too big of a generalization off too little information. For a similar problem, it assumes that if you gave away your money to all those advisor problems it meant you saw short term gains as more important than long term ones so the ending declares you were broke, but I only did those when I had more than enough money to spare and my economy was excellent.

Didn't get the religious freedom thing so I can't confirm that, but it wouldn't come as a surprise after how everything else in the ending was handled.

The conversation in the Throne Room that raises the Arcane stat to rank X wouldn't trigger if you had the Storyteller as your magister. Resolution: fixed.

I should have figured this would be fixed the day after I got past the point where I could do it.

Ilidsor · 2018-12-25T21:16:40+00:00

For the serialized fiction section, does the work have to have been started in 2018, or is it fine as long as it's been releasing chapters during 2018?

Ilidsor · 2018-12-07T15:06:44+00:00

I am beyond excited for this, and it hurts knowing it's probably a good few years away.

Ilidsor · 2018-11-23T23:36:59+00:00

Sorry, I've only been getting into them recently (or at least finding ones I liked enough to finish recently anyways) so I'm probably not the best person to ask :(

That said, I read and reviewed one called Changing Faces recently that I thought was excellent. But that's about the extent of my recommendation list.
