my favorite moment is the 3 fishermen who where mindcontrolled by a flayer.
you know the one that one reviewer bashed as a terrible ecnounter where he was "forced to kill civillians'..
i failed my persuasion checks, and entered combat.
beat it in one move by rushing to murder the Flayer lol, saved the 3 fishermen
Yeah I did the same thing but didn't need to rush just shot it with a bow and poof encounter finished lol.
To be fair the reviewer may have just been on auto pilot and think it is an cRPG the only "options" I have are in dialogue. In many a game previously that
would have been untargetable. So you have to be willing to try things in combat you might not otherwise do in a "normal" cRPG. I know many games make an easy solution impossible because they don't want you to "bypass" the encounter. Kingmaker was terrible that way with designing terrain so it was impossible to sneak up behind casters because there was always impassible terrain stopping your flanking maneuver even if that impassible terrain was a box that was knee high to a halfling. nope still couldn't set over it. Kingmaker always felt like the combat was designed by a level designer not a situation that happen naturally. hated that game.
My favourite part of that encounter with the
fishermen was when they ran off afraid of you lol.
That added touch made the encounter perfect.
