And yes, every decent mage somehow needs to be a bulky freak that can bend iron bars with bare hands and can pick up people at their collars all day.
Pretty sure they redid attributes after they made those roleplay scripts.

3.5E multiclass rules are fundamentally broken in a lot of ways.

I'd kind of expected something along the lines of 2E's simplified dual/multiclassing, but I'm not surprised they took it out.

It costs 42 euro on steam so top quality should be bombarding you from every pixel of the screen every single second you play the game.

The game won't let me stop, but it's still not close to BG1 and 2. I just don't get why they can't get the stories of these games great. I mean, the soul stuff is good as a theme, but the first act and start of the second lack the urgency and personal tone of BG1 and 2. The game does neither feel very personal, nor does it give you the feeling that you have to succeed now. In fact, i don't even know why i should go after this leaden key, there is no threat to me. That was what made BG1 and BG2 great. YOU were having a huge problem and you were forced to move forward. In PoE, i really can't tell why i should do anything.

And that fortress is just the laziest thing ever. Oh, an empty castle, i should totally take this one for me, good that it has a ghost steward that can build the castle without help, i just need to american express some copper and she is good to go. These things are usually done to increase your experience because you feel like you have more impact on the world, but it's done so clumsy that it feels absolutely artificial.
It's still a great game, and it might become even better the more i play. First world problems :D

I thought story start to opens up in act 2. It's really reminescent of BG1 story pace to me as far as story goes.

Overall I like it better than BG1 (without mods) mostly because I think the combat and classes are way better balanced. But hey... tastes.

Is it just me or are chanters fuckin worthless? I had to dump the one I met at the statue near the beginning and created a barbarian. One of my main issues is that when there are like 4+ mobs, I can't let combat flow for even 5 second without one of my people being 3 shotted. Its bonkers how much hp human enemies have compared to me. Its weird that i have a main character with 80hp and i regularly get hit for 24-30...... Plus I really still dislike friendly fire on aoe spells. I can shoot a fireball like a fucking sniper through 3 mobs, only to have it bounce off a wall and fuck my whole party. My other complaint is my guys are like level 3 or 4 and I can't do aedrics (might be the wrong name) keep. I made it about halfway through before I encountered a group of paladins and guards that surround you the moment you come out of a door. So I went back to trolling every corner of every forested area looking for wolves and shit to kill. Its getting kind of boring. I'm trying to play as strategically as possible, but when there are no chokes to abuse, I get wrecked. Even with a decent party setup =[

Enemies don't give a lot of experience if that is your purpose for finding shit to kill. It gives a small amount up to a limit and then nothing. Quests and tasks is the way to go.

You can also come back to the castle later, it's an optional quest. I personally did it on level 4 with 4 guys on Hard but after that I feel I rolled over the main quest combat up to where I am in Act 2. So maybe you should try to continue the main quest to level up and re-attempt Raedric.

3.5E multiclassing probably seems broken, overpowered, powergamey and all you want if you're a hardcore roleplayer. If you're a simple CRPG player like me, they felt pretty good to tinker with :p. Kind of like a JRPG job system, but I get that PoE's crowd is not out for systems like that.
Roleplaying in video games is something I usually build on my own and not something I like to be forced into by the character building system. Let me make a rogue/sorcerer/monk for all I care (and I wouldn't even want to multiclass NWN monks, those are super good :D).

Okay I guess Eder's defenses are bugged for me, this is with Defender active. Or is he meant to be this tanky?

Eder is lvl 7 in that and I tried making a custom lvl 6 fighter and Eders stats are definitely better.

Well no wonder the dude is immortal.
