Repetita iuvant, as it seems there are hardheads objecting even to the most easy and simple implementation to do.

I’d also ban build videos that 15 minutes in suddenly go… “and then you respec after finding these gloves”. But it’s harder to implement.

None of this matters. Respec is there for minmaxers with OCD, but it doesn't actually affect the gameplay. You only complain about it because you can't stand the idea of someone exploiting it. Or using it in a video. In a single-player game. Which probably means you're a minmaxer with OCD, but I digress.


I give a serious suggestion to improve the game, removing options in a higher difficulty mode (not in every mode of course) because these options are exploitable, therefore against the purpose of an higher difficult mode.

There are exploits derived from features, and even if in a single player game they are not that important they tend to put the game itself in a bad light. Community know them, why not ask for their contingent removal? Inevitably, the community itself is showcasing exploits, what I don’t like in some parts of the community itself is the way some exploits are treated as ‘normal’ min-maxing.

Exploits matter and should be addressed. And Withers is an easy one to address. What’s your problem with removing it in a new mode Gottfried? Since you think you are the better player and the only one not exploiting the game your conclusion is that ‘it doesn’t matter’?

Who do you think you are Gottfried? Think you’re entitled to address me that way?
You are the kind of hardhead I was referring to, even came out to reply with a personal attack confirming it. I don’t know why the mods are not banning you. All you care is to underline how you played the game fair, while all others according to you are idiots (your words); OCD minmaxers (again your words); giving irrelevant suggestions because only you know ‘the real problem’ (your contribution to the thread). What a douchebag. If they ban me instead for this, it was worth it.

Anyway. Have another hint for Larian: no shared XP for companions in camp in Honour mode. Another easy (afaik) implementation.

I apologise for my acerbic tone. But the fact is that you overstate how much Withers actually changes in a regular playthrough. I can see how Withers would matter in a solo playthrough with no party members, but at that point you're already doing a self-imposed challenge. Just go and self-impose a tiny bit more. When you have a full party, any benefits will be somewhere between imaginary and miniscule.

Withers isn't a gameplay feature, he's a quality-of-life feature. It's a long game. Maybe when I'm 50 hours in, I want to try out something else without having to start from the beginning.

But sure, make a non-Withers mode, just as long as it isn't tied to the difficulty, i.e. there should also be a highest difficulty mode with Withers. I'd make him a menu option, but you know, he already basically is a menu option, so this seems like such a non-change to me. It certainly doesn't help me to have a more challenging playthrough.
