Thanks

For context, at this point, I already explored EVERYTHING on this map, did every quest possible except those that wants me to leave for the 2nd area, which I can't at the moment.

I have met tons of ghost, ghouls, immortals at this point. A fairy that steals trinkets, an immortal gravekeeper, a creature that kills challengers, a monster that tried to mimic human speech so he can sell trinkets.

So I was expecting some BIG revelations about Sewal and its just... doesn't seem like a big of a deal? I mean more than anything, both Arthur and Merlin didn't know he was still alive. And again, seems like the mastermind for all the fuckups was Merlin's doing anyway. Arthur even said in the camp at the time he was needed everywhere, because they were losing badly to noticed this.

And what does it prove exactly? That desperate times when they are losing the war, people volunteered for the experiments? Pretty sure AT THAT TIME nobody was forced to do it. Taken advantage of their loyalty towards Arthur? Sure. But even if they knew, they would still do it so that Arthur won't die carelessly.

I understand that the experiments went on longer than intended, especially your own character was tortured just for that, but I'm talking about that time period. Like what did it prove exactly? They were willing to do anything to win the war?

Did I miss something? Its 3am here, maybe I missed some dialogue options or documents here and there.

Currently using tidepiecer with frostblade and sir lancelot and master assassin summons but a bit lost with amour, jewelry, skills and stats. Not long reached cuanacht

Topic. I was hoping to do a NG+ challenge mode but that doesn't seem to be an option (fair enough). So I either restart with challenge mode, or go into NG+ in non-challenge mode.

I'm leaning towards NG+. Think the main thing I want is to redo the story but with better decisions and see if I can make a better build, because I wasn't very good in NG. I also missed a lot of side content in NG (level 58).

Any recommendations from people who have done either / both?

I keep trying to look for information about these small skeleton shrines, but I'm only find reddit posts for info about them. Is there a list somewhere? Am I using the wrong name?: skull/skeleton shrine.

Loved the demo of Fall of Avalon (the first 2 hours of the game). I am not gonna lie I have not played anything like this in terms of the creepy stuff that I saw in the prison.

I understand that the vibe will keep being depressing, i.e. fighting against evil no matter how hopeless everything seems, but does the game get much creepier or scary than this?

I also understand that by camping I can always play during the day and not during the night. Correct me on this if I am wrong please.

Thanks a lot in advance, I really appreciate it as your answers will help me consider whether I spend 50 bucks on the game!

Hi everyone,

I am at the first boss end of prison and he throws rocks at me. No matter if i dodge left right anything, I get hit. I switched to 3rd person to find out if i can better evade and see that the rocks are missing me and still I get damaged by them. Like they fly left by me, right by me and still i get hit.

I will probably figure a way out to cheat this one to death but I was wondern, is it just a bug?

So i cannot tell who the worse person is. On the one hand vidar gives major liar and selfish vibes. On the other hand the morigan guys seem like they just want to be in charge and will do whatever to achiev that. I'm lacking in info, so what do you guys think/choose. Thanks in advance.

Was looking to pick up the stormpiercer spell and everywhere I looked mentioned there were two locations to get it. Off a dead body in the hills behind Theud village and some trader.

I was near Theud for the main quest so beelined there but can't for the life of me find where these guides and videos are pointing to. Where there should be hills near the statue is just a chasm to the sea. Either half my village hasn't loaded in or the map has changed recently? If it's the latter would I be able to find the spell at all in Theud or is the trader now the only way?

First time player, just finished Act 2. I got the Lancelot set at the end of Act 1 and I've STILL not found melee-focused armor that is actually better, just a bunch of sidegrades. And the full set gives what, not even 200% increased Physical Damage, even with a decent amount of upgrading?

Meanwhile with just a hodgepodge of any of what feels like twenty different mage sets of Act 2 together with the Hexgrip Vambraces you easily clear >400% physical damage, especially if you forsake mediocre swords and axes and start to wack people with wands instead.

It feels ridiculous that I'm now entering Sarras with not a single actually melee-looking armor or weapon equipped (except for my trusty dashes-to-insane-crit-damage dagger) but I just can't piece together a normal-looking melee build with even a fraction of the power of a poorly optimized Hexgrip Vambrace build.

The various melee perk trees give like +5-10% increased physical damage which feels like a joke compared to the bonuses of the Spiritualist tree (and this is from the perspective of someone who doesn't even use any spells and just puts Spiritualist perk points for the spell power). Why are mages allowed to multiplicatively scale with Spell Power / Max Mana = Missing Mana / Multiplicative Spell Power / Crit while melee is just... Increased Physical Damage and Crit?

Are there secretly OP melee sets in Sarras or Act 3 that I'm missing? I've been eyeballing the Sarras trees and not-very-surprisingly it looks like the Mystic tree is going to be better for melee than the melee tree.

I found a cave with corpse eaters and thieves- the thieves were easy but I'm getting my ass kicked by corpse eaters. Seems like there's a boss corpse eater in there too- he's destroying me.

I'm using a 2h weapon currently. Help?

I need some feedback to see if I made a smart choice. This is my first run. I reached Act 3 at level 51. From what I've read online, I was already overleveled for the zone.So I decided to do the whole act three up to the point of no return and then, before accessing it, do Sarras. If I read correctly, in fact, the DLC has an "auto-leveling" system for opponents. Can you confirm that it was a smart choice?
