Make proper saves and often. So the group of 4 can only be played as the group of 4? If I host a game for myself and a friend (or 3 friends), they will choose from characters that are in my party? | ||

So, if you start a new game as 4, all of you can make your own characters (custom or origin) to start the game with, you will start as a grp of 4 in the ship then. This also works if you want to start with more than 1 character when playing alone, you can host a game for yourself and start multiple game clients that join the game, create characters, then leave and you then assign your real client to control all of them. | ||

I don't know if you can remove a player character from the game if one of 4 stops playing for example, but you can assign the free character to another player at least.

Thanks for explaining! I did end up getting the game, I spent so much time looking around during character creation that I haven't even gotten off the ship yet. LOL. | ||

Overall it was a good experience, but I sure wish they did better QA, because it really starts to anger you about midway through the game. I think the game was rushed near the end, not just because of the broken quests, but also as others noted, there are many tools that simply can't be used, and at least one area which is deliberately unfinished. And yes it was crowd funded, through Kickstarter, just like the previous game. --- Also in case it matters I finished the game on tactician. It was fun playing with an all-wizard party, because you can go Apotheosis to make all 3 source point spells free, and then on the next turn nuke your opponent with some apocalyptic spell. Then the turn after that, you can nuke them with another apocalyptic spell (fire, lighting, ice, or earth). Super fun! Its especially powerful with fane, since he has a special ability that allows him to give himself an extra turn, Combined with apotheosis it gives him all the stat bonuses as well as a free cast of an apocalyptic spell on the first turn. There are some pretty darn tough fights in this game that I had to cheese through, though. When you hear a certain witch shout "I'll kill your shining lights" you'll know what I mean. In this fight, with bad positioning (and by this I mean, merely walking up to her from any angle), your entire party will die without even having a turn. Lets just say I'm glad teleport exists. Also there is the first encounter with an eternal in an ancient temple...in which you can easily die on your second turn. I can't imagine fighting her in the chamber. Oh yeah she also sucks all of your source points away. Compared to these two the endgame was pretty easy . | ||

Rather than sucking it up and replaying the last part I turned on the Rocky theme and fought her over and over until at the 10th time or so she jumped forward out of you know what and I managed to kill her with like 100hp left on my final char, only to find out i was fresh out of resurrection scrolls so I had to go on another quest to get those. I spam save now. | ||

The endgame was really rough for me though as + Show Spoiler + I didn't want to sacrifice myself haha. Lucian the Divine kept going after my characters instead of Braccus which annoyed the hell out of me. | ||

Haven't had an RPG itch like this in a while. Still in my first playthrough here (man, this game is fucking long, 100+h and finally reaching the end of Reaper's Coast...) but really, haven't encountered anything remotely significant in forever. I'd say definitely go for it! | ||

I settled on playing as Sebille making her mainly a ranger with a dash of fire and scoundrel. Also made her into a thief because I like to steal from everyone around =P (stealing money and skill books is great! Money can't be traced because of the no *stolen* tag, and you consume skill books! A perfect crime!) Made Fane into an enchanter(air/water) with necromancy and Red Prince into a wizard(fire/earth) with summons. Lastly I picked up dwarf that I originally planned into making into a pure fighter, but polymorph is just too good to pass up on him. I had a blast exploring Act 2 and am just about ready to move onto the boat (I beat the holier-than-thou priest and a giant-ass wurm) The only thing that just annoys me is that since I went for thievery on Sebille (main character) I had to build RP into the persuasion character. It just doesn't feel right you know? To not lead the party with your MC because you fear walking into a dialogue without any persuasion options. Beast is buyer/seller and Fane is loremaster. This game is really well made, like really well made. I'd encourage anyone to try it if you're still on the fence whether to buy it or not. Especially on a -33% or 50% sale. | ||
