Trying to roleplay a bit there.
Is there a consensus as to whether it is worth spending money at the new characters in the inn or not?

Its worth the money for sure, obviously lower roleplay value since they won't have their own "side story" | ||

Edit, progress in the main plot line and you will learn it. | ||

Also not sure how much I like this endurance/health thing. Made a priest as first character that I then rerolled into the mage and noticed that the early healing spells heal endurance instead of health, but you take damage to both from attacks and endurance renews after combat anyway, so not totally sure what's the point of those healing spells then. | ||

You need endurance heal if you want to play the AOE game since you otherwise risk getting wiped. If you pull enemies and use good tactics in set boss fights you might manage without due to heal potions for those few occasions you can't avoid. | ||

Priests are incredibly useful later on because of massive AOE damage you will inevitably suffer. That said, you can definitely get through the early game without one. I got to the stronghold without a priest (missed him the first time round lol). The npc priest seems decent enough. | ||

the tank has no avoidance, the mage has no damage and tank stats, the priest has nothing but soak stats, the chanter has ok dmg stats, but i need a second tank and chanter would have been good. Also, Chanters seem useless, by the time they have their invocation up, my party allready killed the next 2 packs. Not sure how to build my party now, i really didnt want to make more hirelings, except for the mage, he has to go with his 13 might. | ||

It shouldn't hurt the RP value to let us assign the stats... | ||

There is a mod that will let you change the companions class and talents, but so far not their stats. http://www.reddit.com/r/projecteternity/comments/30and6/psa_you_can_change_classes_of_your_companions_via/ It will disable achievements if you use it though. | ||

As far as I know both the cheat engine table and cheat happens editor can change all of those things and more while you are playing the game. | ||

I'm so tempted to start over, I'm not super happy with my main guy being a priest. It's a ring I got with a 3 cast of Combusting wounds per rest (though thats the kind of spell I should cast early not after the dps phase). Don't worry I'm very slow :D I'm at 20hours played and only reached act 1 in defiance bay. 2-3 hours may be due to afk. Reading all books and dialogues though and a lot of these purple memory stuff (I,ve stopped in Defiance bay, too many of them). Alright lets play with no-maim to spice this up. I kind of feel cheap getting trough those fights very sloppily. | ||
