  • I’m in the middle of an “Oops All Clerics” playthrough. Highly recommend. I have Light, Life, Tempest, and War. War is probably the weakest of the bunch but she’s good for holding concentration buffs. Throw on bless and Phalar Aluve Sing and you’ll never lose concentration on anything.

    All of my ability checks get guidance and advantage.

    This party is stupidly OP. The shadow cursed lands were a cakewalk, and I steamrolled Cazador without really trying. Hasted Tempest cleric pumps out obscene amounts of damage.

    Light has access to fireball, wall of fire, and their Chanel divinity is a nuclear bomb with a huge range.

    Life can almost bring a completely dead party back to full health.

    And the Chanel divinities restore after a short rest, so I can deal with three moderate fights and maybe even a boss before I need a long rest.

    I think Cleric might be my favorite class.



  • The flaming fist can see you steal things from like six buildings away.

    When I fought Gortash the first time (I didn’t do the foundry) his steel watchers kept kicking my ass. “Ah ha!” I thought, “I’ll close the door and cast Arcane Lock on it to keep them out and trivialize this fight!”. The watchers teleported next to gortash as soon as the fighting began and wiped the floor with me.

    During the Ketheric fight, Ketheric decided he… Just had enough? I guess? He went to stand in the center of the platform and fucked off for five entire rounds while I killed everyone else and started phase 3.

    Inventory management is impossible with a controller.

    I play on a Steam Deck and while the game runs amazingly in Acts 1 and 2, the instant you set foot in Rivington you’re lucky if you can get 20 fps. And I hear its the same on a PC?

    Speaking of Act 3, the entire act is awful. Acts 1 and 2 were incredible and then the whole thing just falls apart. The pacing is all wrong, and you pretty much forget the absolute entirely. Someone else said they stopped playing after moonrise and ended their game, and honestly I like that idea more every day.

    Felogyrs Fireworks. That’s all I need to say.

    You need to loot literally everything or you’ll miss critical items, and the loot overwhelmingly sucks ass. Oh boy! Another rotten tampon I can sell for 1g!

    Potion tooltips are less than useless, especially on the crafting screen (oh man don’t get me started there). What does this potion do? No idea! But at least you know it tastes like Troll cum!

    I really do love this game, but a lot of parts of the game are just steaming piles of shit. I also don’t believe it deserved all the awards it got, and it’s kind of amazing it did.
