Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks 2 technical questions

Question 1: The Luck stat says it modifies the chance to get better stuff from the random boxes/barrels, etc. right? Is it team-sensitive, i.e. does it matter that eg. my hero opens a barrel while the DK has the higher Luck? Or does the char with the Luck to be used have to open the containers himself?

Question 2: What is the Reputation stat for? Lower prices at the merchants?

I tried searchin the forums in case sb already has asked those questions, but I couldn't find it. Thanks for your patience.

It is the average Luck of the 2 main characters than is used as a factor with random drops and finds, so it doesn't matter who opens the container.

Unlike in Divine Divinity, reputation doesn't really have much of an effect in Beyond Divinity.

Thanks, it's a rielief, now I can freely distribute Luck between the 2 guys.



Now that's a pity.

In DD it was fairly easy to steal or kill non-protected NPCs without getting caught, so the difference with reputation in BD is not that much in practical terms. I was a little disappointed that in BD you could loot an NPC's belongings without getting a reaction. From what I understand, that is a consequence of adapting the DD character AI so opponents had better tactics, so I don't mind the trade-off.

Hopefully DD2 will have a more elaborate reputation system, with consequences that effect the plot (though that requires a lot more work and makes things a lot harder to test).
