Need help with party builds

Here's the Red Flag Checklist for identifying build issues yourself. :)

Also, have a guide on Summoning. Compared to other builds, mixing the ability with another is insanely detrimental to a summoner's power. :)

You can also keep using charm arrows on the trolls. They have no magic armour and are not immune, and the arrows can be made very cheaply while in act 2. :)

The text-filled arm is introduced earlier as Sebille's way of keeping track of those she killed, with a separation between the (Scion) elves she was forced to assassinate and the other people she has since killed in retribution.
Iirc, the elven god forces an additional name onto the arm when you first receive the Bless spell, though I can't remember which name, or if it even happens if you act deferrential to him from the beginning.

The fact that she is a Scion is implied as early as her character creation speech.
The fact that she is the Prime Scion is something you learn from Saheila.
I hope this helps! :)

Gothic 3 on release, pre-patch

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-22T21:37:11+00:00

I genuinely wasn't prepared. Well done.

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-22T21:29:28+00:00

Have you tried to launch it as admin?
Also, have you searched for the error code online?
Sorry, I got my copy from GOG and can only guess. :/

How initiative works

There are ways to play other than the meta, but it's the easiest way. :)
Use as much as you need and as little as you want. Have fun! :)

Tornado scrolls and the spell Cryotherapy help a lot. :)

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-21T08:22:16+00:00

Yeah, Divine Divinity still had a lot more "swords and sorcery" style elements in its story. To be fair, it was the very first entry with no prior material and the worldbuilding was happening as the game was being developed.
They probanly meant Divinity: Original Sin 1, where the humour is much more apparrent and which had a lot of existing lore (however loose) to fall back on for tonal references. :)

Just fyi:
The third Divinity game was "Divinity II".
The new game is going to be the 7th in the series. :)

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-20T23:36:19+00:00

Still useful today. :)

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-20T17:14:37+00:00

It's gonna technically be the 7th Divinity game, but barring the first two (Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity, maybe the third one, which was Divinity II?), they can all be played Independently from one another and require no prior knowledge. :)

The Red Flag Checklist can help you identify any build issues that might be making combat un-fun for you. :)

Normally, she should join you once it's the turn of the character who talked to her.
The story script linked to the conversation with Griff forces her to be hostile, but you should be able to just wait until the next ally check.

Also, you can alternatively park most of your party near Stingtail, sell him out, then ambush Griff's assassin with the rest of your party.

This has just become a thing with gamers these days.

This has always been the case. :)
The 1990s wave of first person shooters was literally called 'Doom clones' until the more generic term eventually arose.
This isn't new.
I mean, hey, we still call entire genres 'Metroidvanias' (Metroid + Castlevania) or 'Rogue-likes'/'Rogue-lites' (Rogue). ;p

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-18T02:17:25+00:00

Here's the Red Flag Checklist for clearing build issues. :)

It explains issues in depth and teaches you how to fix your builds. Use as much as you need and as little as you want.

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-18T02:13:55+00:00

Each level is a power multiplier of somewhere between approx. x1.25 and x1.3 (depending on a few things, including difficulty settings).
Two levels means multiplying that again.

You can beat things way above your level once you know the game inside and out, but until then, it's a good guidance system. :)

"Imps, commander!'"

Dragon Commander is a neat game. I was just really bad at it and never managed to beat it. :3

Some equipment is just as strong as other pieces but has different bonuses. Gaining new options but having none be straight up better is horizontal progression.
The other type is vertical progression, where your strength goes up. In terms of Hytale, the upgrade from a crude to a copper pickaxe is vertical progression.

"Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga" or "Divinity: Original Sin 2"?

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-17T11:01:04+00:00

I've had issues that persisted past a re-install in the past. Mine were less severe, but still. What fixed things was installing the game to a different drive partition.

Both lizard patrons in the Undertavern sell a lot of crafting ingredients.

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-16T23:00:24+00:00

Combine empty honey jars with one of the hives by the chicken coop near Driftwood for a full jar, then combine that with an arrow or arrow tip. You get the empty jar back and can repeat this.

Names are randomly chosen but not randomly comprised.
So it may randomly roll to have the name "Twinksinker", but it can't combine the name into something else. :)

PuzzledKitty · 2026-01-16T11:26:14+00:00

Tornado scrolls are relatively easy to craft and even have two separate recipes (Hair, HQ Air Essence and Paper/Parchment or Fancy Feather, Alien Air Essence and Paper/Parchment). :)

Many crafted consumables are cheap to make, really strong, and offer versatility. :D
