Plus there appears to be some sort o fighting pit down a hatch somewhere :). Fort Joy seems much more interesting than the home town of the original game. So far enjoying it, and getting slowly sucked in. I also found gloves in their stomach that let me teleport things.
Luckily I still had enough resurrection scrolls.
I was set upon by 3 hungry crocodiles, managed to kill them, but they killed my Elf Rogue twice and my Lizard Pyro once. I don’t know how things will develop later but right now action points are few and far between, so in most combat rounds I end up doing one attack action and one move.įights can be tense. I managed a combo with my party where everyone hit the enemy who had high physical armour, knocked it down to 0 (but he had an intimidating 80 hp) and my main character turned him into a chicken (lasts one round) but had enough AP (action points) to smack said chicken hard. Managed Tyranny once and probably won’t go back.ĮDIT It has some similarities but the magic/physical armour is different, and now I’m starting to like it. I managed Pillars of Eternity with white march once the whole way through but the first playthrough stopped when I got to Twin Elms. I tried replaying it but the Orcs on the first beach just struck me as tedious in absurdium. This is pure I got about 82 hours into the first one, before suddenly losing interest. Maybe polymorph was not a good first choice.Įlves can eat flesh, unlocking clues and sometimes new skills. That last can be great fun but it seems to almost never work. Turning someone into a chicken by physical armour. Fire, shock etc are resisted by magic armour. Some skills are blocked by one or the other.
Magic and physical armour need getting used to.
Ought not to have attacked me.īasically you *can * go off the obvious, signposted track, but be prepared to die. Was tempted to reload to see what else could have happened. Killed by a bounty Hunter who wanted my lizard friend ex King dead.Īccidentally killed a black cat following me around.Ĭhatted to a dog and fed him someone’s burnt leg, which annoyed him “I DON’T. Not the front door, killed 3 people and got attacked by a Magister, for the crime of murder, despite him watching the fight as it happened (immersion breaker) Trial and error here which will frustrate new/casual players. The game doesn’t do very much hand holding so it’s possible to go into areas you really shouldn’t early on, like a cavern with oversized angry frogs, or parts of the fort with powerful enemies. Anyway, at first the movement and combat felt clunky, and I felt a bit overwhelmed by the character set up choices.ģ odd hrs in and I have a full party so feeling more confident.
