I activated them all, and...as far as I can tell, nothing happened. Am I missing something? Or does it do something that will be revealed later? Or does it just not do anything? I think nothing is supposed to happen. Except maybe to satiate your OCD. Or drive you mad thinking you've missed a sidequest.

You can start the vast majority of the fights in the game yourself, so your first volley should already kill at least one enemy. The next volley of attacks during the engagement period should kill another, then it's down to CC and avoidance to deal with the rest. Yep. Most of the advice I've been giving is to get more CC (mostly to people who build teams with very little CC having problems with slippery opponents). I mean if you run a high dex + int Cipher with draining whip passive + blunderbuss weapon, you can basically perma-chain mental binding (costs 20 focus only!) which is a great CC choice for people with tank problems because: you can paralyze in an enemy AOE around the tank so they can't attack; at the same time it lowers enemy deflection and reflex immensely so you get to do massive damage as well. | ||

What they did is make you be able to use athletics and similar abilities in the story board. Giving you multiple ways to solve different problems. So one time you fight through the enemies. The next time you talk your way out of it. Or maybe you jump over the cliff and get a sprained ankle or not. It could have been developed more but the direction is one I like since it makes the same place play out differently due to different stats or choices. It depends on the puzzles. I didn't mind BG's puzzles other than places like Durlag's Tower that just overdid it. I hated the puzzles in Divinity:Original Sin. Too many involved finding some stupidly small thing to click. I had issues finding some of them even after reading a walkthrough. I even had issues clicking some of the stupid switches after finding them. | ||

Crowd control oriented games have always been more interesting than tank and spank mmo style games. | ||

I see they've since mentioned a fix but i wasn't that deep anyway, and given how much i reloaded on account of being terrible and only having 3 bros i didn't actually waste much if any progress. Still expecting Aloth to get murdered by Shadows but what can you do? + Show Spoiler + (nothing) | ||

Same with the priest, but that one got a sniper rifle since his god apparently approves of that with 10 accuracy. My cypher and eder carry this party with unbreakable tank and CC spam. Next playtrough ill have to reconsider taking any per rest casters. The RPG part is pretty nice, i definately feel engaged in it as i did with baldurs gate, but i wish the companions would speak a bit more, they really dont do a lot of RPG stuff for having such terriple RPed builds. | ||

Game is rather easy right now with Eder and his 85 deflection (and that's without the +10 deflection ring which I gave my cipher). Will see if hard stuff comes back. | ||

Vezano? delivery quest line. He's the guy in the warehouse in the Gift. FWIW, I think Doemel are even bigger assholes than the other two =) | ||

There's a warehouse there. As you approach it you'll be prompted by a conversation with a potential companion. Go in, get a quest from the warehouse boss and do it. During the quest you'll be given the chance to help a Doemenal (tough lady in a breastplate iirc), who will tell you to go to the estate for moar work. | ||

Also, adding to the bug list, for some reason my main char has 40 Int at the moment ... no idea why. My haylstorm literally covers the whole screen. | ||
