Ishiza/Animal Companions

If my bird attacks an enemy that Maia is also attacking, is there an accuracy bonus like there was in the previous game? I can't see it anywhere on the character sheet. Just trying to figure out whether I should keep Ishiza in the back or up front engaging with enemies. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Deadfire Skill Spreads

Kind of confused about how the skill spreads work in party assist mechanics. What are the most important passive skills for The watcher to have?

EDIT: currently running my watcher focusing on bluff, diplomacy, and intimidate, Eder focusing on Survival and streetwise, Xoti on religion and history, and Aloth on insight and metaphysics. I plan on picking up the cipher soon and keeping this party for the rest of the game. Is this a good spread?

Command Console trouble

I hit the tilde key and type in iroll20s and hit enter but nothing happens, no failed command text in the text window, nothing. Tried typing in some commands that I know as well and nothing works. It even tries to autofill what it thinks. I'm trying to type in, but when I execute the commands literally nothing happens. Has anyone encountered this or have any fixes? Thanks

Helwax Mold

I'm at the end game, I've completed almost everything, and pretty much everything to my satisfaction, and all I need to do is head to burial isle and finish the game. I've been sitting on the Helwax Mold and I'm,not sure what to use it on. Would love some recommendations, any and all that you can think of. I've been pondering cloning the Cape of the Master Mystic, but I'm not sure. Player character is a dual wield rogue using Bittercut and Resolution, which are both enchanted to the Max and upgraded with durgen Steel, not sure if cloning bitter cut is worth it to replace resolution or not. I'm looking at my parties equipment and everything is kind of "just so", and I can't really think of anything I would need a clone of, but I get the feeling I might be overlooking something.

EDIT: My Rogue DOES have Spirit of Decay, not sure if that plays into whether I should duplicate bitter cut or not

Am I a slow player?

All I have left in PoE1 is to kill Concelhaut, then do the quest that is triggered after this, then go to the Burial Isle and initiate the endgame. I've done nearly every quest up to this point except for a handful of the companion quests, which I will skip. I'm currently sitting at 205 hours for this playthrough. Is that considered slow? Please be honest, I won't be offended. I feel like I play interminably slow.

Iron Flail Stealth Requirements

I love stealth but it is poorly represented in this game. I'm doing my best to sneak in the west side, but is it okay if I kill a few guards? I don't feel like dealing with the rigmarole of completely stealthing it. I just don't want to mess up my chances to get the peaceful outcome. Insights would be appreciated

POE1 Monk Build Paths

Just picked up Zahua and I'm curious to hear people's opinions on what the overall general paths that monks can go down as far as builds are concerned, like the 30,000 ft condensed perspective.

Would also appreciate some full or partial builds/build ideas that you guys have come up with that work well. Thanks!

Spark the souls of the righteous

How does the spell even work? The description in game seems to be empty of information, nothing is listed for damage or anything. Anyone have a clue?

Faction point of no return

In pillars of eternity 1, what is the point of no return where I can't join The crucible nights? I originally was going to go with the dozens, and I have retrieved the engwithan weapons for the quest" the bronze beneath the lake" but I have not turned them in yet, And I've decided that I don't want to join the dozens because they are against animancy. Can I still choose The crucible nights at this point? Also, Eder doesn't seem to like the Dozens and I definitely don't want him to forcibly leave my party, and reference I have completed his personal quest so I don't know of that has impact on anything.

Pallegina Build

Playing POE 1, my main character is a dual wield DPS rogue, Eder is sword and board tank, kana is frontliner sword and board off tank, aloth and durance doing their thing in the back.

I just got pallagina, she's awesome and I want to get some opinions on the build I have in mind for her. Since I have three people up front doing melee, and two people in the back, I figured she would be in between so that everybody gets her auras and I've given her a pike so she can fight from behind cover but can still off tank if necessary since she has decent survivability automatically. I went sworn enemy route with the wrath of five suns, intense flames and zealous focus. I plan on giving her scion of flame as well. Does the seem decent? I'm only at level 6 at the moment, so future talents/abilities suggestions are welcome. I just always get frustrated fighting in tight corridors and it would be nice to have a weapon user with reach.

Rerolling Class in the middle of game

I've realized a good ways into the game that I really want to play a rogue. I created and hired a custom rogue and playing with him was absolutely freaking amazing, and it made me realize that my DPS dual wielding fighter is what I thought I wanted, but the rogue is what I actually want.

My question is, is there a way to completely re-roll my character while in the middle of the game? I don't mind if there's a chance for save corruption, I have a hard save that I can always go back to. I'm open to using the console commands, I just want to play rogue so bad LOL. Any help is appreciated

Console command for XP

I just hired a custom rogue and I'm trying to get her up to the same level as the rest of my party, who are level 5. She is level four, and I can't figure out how to give experience points to only her. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PoE1 Rogue?

I love playing the fighter/ thief in d&d games, I enjoy being the tactical squad leader spec ops "Elite Operator" that is good enough to fight at the front line and deal damage, be able to somewhat tank, but still be agile, dual wielding, and a good party leader as far as dialogue choices go in the narrative. A hybrid character, basically, but the undisputed professional leader of the party. Good and compassionate, but professional and deadly. I was thinking the rogue would be a good choice, but would that not work for what I'm going for?

I'll be starting this game this weekend and I really want to have at least the bones of my character figured out beforehand. Would love some help building a character, basically. I would be willing to give up the scout and thieving abilities if the PoE1 rogue class isn't as much like the d&d fighter/ thief class. Any help would be appreciated.

PoE 1 starting out

Played many years ago, got a decent way through but didn't finish. Thinking of starting again, but just curious if anyone has some meta advice on mistakes to avoid, how to keep the game fun, tips and tricks, etc. TIA

This Chapter....

I don't post here much, and I'm sure this kind of post has been made plenty of times, but I just want to say holy fucking shit about this chapter. I'm not finished with it yet, I've only just gotten to the part where Bottle is going down the shaft with the spiders, but God damn reading this is gruelling. No other part of the series so far has affected me in any way really, but this chapter is an absolute fucking marathon. Well done Mr Erikson, well done. Horrifying.

I've played all the baldur's gate games (not 3), all the icewind Dale games, some of the never winter games, and played pillars of eternity a while ago but never finished it. Loved d&d 3.5 edition. Would I love this game?
