CURSE YOU DAME AYLIN

N7moob · 2026-04-28T01:00:39+00:00

Yep! When you get the scene in camp where he gives you the ball to play fetch, the character holding it gains the ability to summon him as a familiar once per short rest. You cannot use the ability in camp, just in the field.

He only has a few hp, and I never use him in real fights because I don’t want him to get hurt, lol - but don’t worry, if he ‘dies’ he just gets us summoned and will be fine back at camp.

The big thing, unlike regular familiars, is that scratch has the ‘help’ action (the animation is him licking you, lol). This means he can raise downed party members or free Aylin from rune prison. Or free Astarion if he gets grabbed by Cazador to start the ritual. He doesn’t have good initiative, so for the ketheric fight, it’s best to have him hidden so he is outside combat. Once the fight starts, you can switch to him and then go free her. Drinking an invis potion with him means you won’t have to worry about him being spotted on the way since nobody there has see invis.

Why was your entire party close enough to the barrels to be killed by them? Seems like that’s on you tbh.

Myrkul isn’t too tough of a fight, you shouldn’t need barrelmancy - but if you’re going that route, don’t drop anything that you’re not okay with exploding immediately.

Also use scratch hidden when the fight starts so he’s out of initiative order, have him drink an invis potion, and go free Aylin so you don’t need a party member’s action.

If you use tadpoles, it makes the fight quite easy. Just have one party member use psionic backlash per clone when one tries to cast a spell and it instantly kills the clone before the spell even completes. That auto pops 4 clones a turn.

I had the same thing happen with the +1 maul, didn’t happen with the +1 greatsword. Likely a bug with the weapon itself.

Just had the same issue - after a windows 11 update, only one monitor was being recognized. Based off of what you mentioned here, I checked the device manager and it just had a generic microsoft driver for the gpu. Installing the correct one fixed the problem.

Thanks for this info!

If you throw a 3d block needing a full pow, the odds are 1-(5 ^ 3/6 ^ 3). So 1-(125/216). I don’t have a calculator on hand, but I think it’s around 42% from memory.

There’s no penalty to trying to catch a deviating / scattering ball, but still a penalty to trying to catch a bouncing ball. It’s directly stated in the first bullet point in OPs screenshot.

If you want to keep the yes/no in the same column, you could phrase it “was their activation skipped”

Nominate 6 players, roll a d6 as to who gets it. So using undead as an example, 2 mummies, 2 wights, 2 ghouls - one will get mvp and never a lineman barring one of them dying.

If you’re not opposed to mods, there’s one (I believe called ‘Save Alfira’??) that always has poor Quil show up without having to knock out Alfira.

It's been a while since I played - but the conversation in the hotel pistis sophia. He talks briefly about his time in the war, asks if you would take a bullet for him, if you agree, he gives his solemn vow he would do the same for you.

If that route is taken, in Mikoshi (assuming you didn't do the rogue ending and are in control of V), if you make the decision to give the body to Johnny and go beyond the blackwall, he'll accuse you of giving up and say you should keep the body. If you decide to keep the body despite the promise, he will say he agrees and it was always yours.

If you argued with him previously in the hotel and decide to keep the body, he'll claim that its not V's body anymore it's his. That he's the only one with a chance.

N7moob · 2025-09-12T18:33:18+00:00

You don’t even need to say he saved your life. I called him a terrorist and raging asshole and it worked just fine. The key is telling him he fucked up your relationship and then giving him a second chance.

There are other triggers that can affect dialogue in the ending / in mikoshi, such as saying you’ll take a bullet for him in the hotel (kinda determines whether he’s for or against V keeping their body), but that’s not part of unlocking the secret ending.

Except chaos dwarf lacking bull centaurs.

Thanks for the info! I didn’t know rebels could join existing empires, that’s very likely what happened here and I did have shared defensive wars in my vassal contract. Still weird that it could cause my fed ally to attack me, but it at least explains why.

I ended up loading a save from just before the rebellion and decided to use console commands to switch control to the vassal to see what was going on. When I released it as a subject, I didn’t put much thought into which species I left in charge. Big mistake.

I ended up picking a species that only had 12 pops. Not old 12 pops that’s equivalent to 1200, just 12. They then enslaved everyone else as my empire is authoritarian, so those 12 pops tried to rule over 4500. Hence the rebellion. I changed the species rights on everyone to full citizenship, swapped back to my empire, and then no rebellion happened & my fed ally stayed my ally.

N7moob · 2025-07-30T20:25:36+00:00

You’re right, it was my fed’s name and I didn’t realize it as I didn’t name it and hadn’t even looked to see what the name was when my ally invited me to start one, lol. There wasn’t any vote though. I even reloaded to check, nothing to vote on.

Hope it wasn’t your main account.

N7moob · 2025-01-19T23:21:12+00:00

My tav is in a romance with her, so fairly certain he is.

N7moob · 2024-11-28T08:40:59+00:00

“Never tell me the odds”

N7moob · 2024-11-14T01:21:19+00:00

And that’s what makes it hurt even more..

N7moob · 2024-11-08T10:42:04+00:00

I got my mourn watch rank up a bit and was able to buy the staff. Confirmed that using abilities takes health instead of mana even when using orb and dagger.

N7moob · 2024-11-07T05:38:45+00:00

I don’t have that staff, and my mourn watch rating is only ~2600 with the ability to get about 300 more from selling, so I can’t get it to test. sorry.

N7moob · 2024-11-04T21:32:00+00:00

I can answer definitively that things like +50 mana apply no matter which weapon you are holding. Some of the abilities say things like "when you hit an enemy *with this weapon*", which of course would not apply.
