To be honest i dont like it either ...

Cant imagine how this party portraits will work in combat with large group ... in goblin camp for example. :-/
Also it seem even more chaotic than original UI ... you get some things you loot on the left, another will be added to the right ... and then there is some bars that are either hidden, so can be quite simply forgotten ... or they just appear out of nowhere. :-/

Well ... if this is your mod UI, i gues care as much as you care about mine opinion, wich will probable be not at all.
But i certainly hope if Larian will do any UI updates that they will not search for inspiration here.

Agreed. I would like to see an option that allows the entire party to jump rather than having to do it one at a time.

Yeah, I clicked through but it was clearly someone trying to find something wrong and not really interested in offering constructive feedback. Also took waaay to much to long to make his point.

I want that 6 minutes of my life back.

Anyway --

Fog of war, on the constructive feedback list already.
Inventory management agreed but delivery of critique is unpersuasive
Rolling for passive search checks -- that's D&D you don't D&D and that's fine. Doesn't mean that D&D suckzor.

Couldn't watch any more.

Acid pools from enemy spells.

Individual points of feedback after 26 hours of playing:

Great setting and scenary, and a good selection on monsters.

The plot really does give urgency to player actions without resorting to end of the worlds scenarios (I appreciate that that is liable to change over time, but it's great that we start at a small scale rather than trying to save the kingdom after killing the first few rats).

The camera is frustrating at times, getting stuck behind scenery. One time at the start of the game it got stuck in the room with the fight between the illithid and the cambion even though I was still in the room with three imps.

Not sure on the economy of magic arrows - three hundred coin for a one-shot item that boosts damage a touch seems excessive.

I like the creativity in the magic weapons, but all I seemed to see was a wide selection of two-handed weapons. No magic ranged weapons so far, and the single-handed weapons have been less interesting.

I'm not a fan of the companions. I appreciate the ludo-narrative consonance of being forced to spend an extended period of time with some obnoxious people I'd rather just kill, but unlike my player character I can just turn off the game. I appreciate that there seems to be a general move towards 'let's be evil' in RPGs recently, e.g. Tyranny, but it doesn't make me any more inclined to like judgemental, inflexible, arrogant solipists than I was before. Plus the party needs more options for tanks.

The game could stand to have a glossary, but many concepts are explained well.

The game could stand to have a pause function as well - I don't mind fighting the enemies, but I would prefer to have better equipment to deal with the UI.

Pathing can be weak at times - I've lost count of the number of times when my player character decided that the best route from A to B involved throwing themselves off a cliff. Does a good job at traversing fairly long distances otherwise though.

Sneaking and combat can be a slow and frustrating exercise in micromanagement.

Any chance of an option for how much is highlighted when the 'alt' button is pressed? There's lots of stuff I'm interested in that doesn't highlight (such as food) which leads to long pixel-hunts in some rooms.

I love the number of autosave and quicksave slots - thank you. Would be nicer to have more frequent autosave, but the number of slots is great.

Had an amusing physics bug where a corpse glitched out of existance a couple of times, but that's mostly been fine.

Maybe have things that are spotted glow or shimmer for a bit longer once they've been seen. There have been a few too many times where someone in the party has spotted something and I've had no idea what it was. Sometimes it was a trap (Oh! That's what you saw). Sometimes I still have no idea.

Having an inventory sort button would be really handy. Particularly by something like weight.

Succeeded one level up to loose my stat increase my trying to improve a maxxed out stat. Oops.

Combat seems to consist of wandering the map until I find a fight I stand a chance of winning and then hoping that I get enough exp and loot from it to be able to take on something else. I appreciate that grinding isn't fun, but having some non-essential combats would be nice. Or else be a bit more generous with the non-combat exp. Even the combar rewards are not great - killing those phase spiders took almost all my resources and total reward was a gem for a book I've got no idea why I should be interested in and a robe that might have been mildly handy for the fight if I'd actually brought the wizard along.

Was highly amused by Volo when I first met him. Slaughtering the goblins outside the castle? No problem. Looting the merchant's area? That is just not on! Stealing from the dead is obviously far more serious than actually killing someone.


Either way, good game, but I'm not really inclined to play more. Too much 'let's give evil a chance', too few 'good' options, no decent rewards for quests: save the druid and kill the goblins and you get a staff that can create a puddle of mud once a day and a forgettable pile of junk. Saving the druid and finding that there is no quest exp and my only reward is 'the princess is in another castle' and most of the traders no longer being willing to trade with me, before sending me down to fight minotaurs that can wipe the floor with my party because I can't find any more fights to level up from? That was the final straw.

Argh! Don't even start with that bull cr... sorry, but, even with all the abstraction, magic and monsters, D&D rules still TRY to stay logical and grounded in reality, and lighting 4ft of steel ablaze with candle is just... yea, it's wacky Divinity fun fun logic, and has no place in any game which takes itself even a little bit seriously.

I admit, I have no idea what to do if the battle is turn-based, if there are twenty enemy archers in front of you and if everyone is aiming at you.

But it seems to me that games with an active pause are built on the idea that the player uses active pause as little as possible. To correct some important things that cannot be corrected without a pause. This has never worked for me. I either use too much control even in the smallest fights, or I lower the difficulty to the absolute minimum, to storymode, to cheats and trainers. And then I stop paying attention to the fights. All the characters do their auto attacks, and I do tea.

And then someone in a smallest corridor steps on a trap and everyone is suddenly in a web. From horns to tails. For a long time. And I sit and think: Pathfinder, you yourself made this mess.

My vote for turn-based combat =)

I kind of agree that there is no satisfying way of going the evil route, and I want to use as example of that issue the way we interact with Evil Queen Lae'Zael.

There is little to talk about with her. She is by herself, she's strong and independant, and only accept to be part of the group because we are a means to an end.
BUT
After successful battles, when she notices that not only do we hold our own, we don't even go down, but sometimes we DO get her up, she doesn't pick up on it. She doesn't seem to notice our martial prowess. When blatantly ignoring or outright despising the problems of others in order to prioritize our own need to get that parasite out of our skull, she doesn't seem to notice either.

I think there is something to say about things that affect our relationships with companions that aren't either:
- dialog
- good/bad decisions

I think combat could be taken into account. Maybe our level of strength/dex/constitution and how often we pick those in discussions? How often we fall to traps and so on and so forth...

+1, I especially want to see some whips.

Because Sven and Larian have encouraged people to try an evil playthrough. If you want to test something specific start by making sure that it is in a state somewhat representative of what you want to test.

Clerics arent NEEDED but having 1 defenitly helps

Imo this 'pass 1 test or Shadowheart leaves' thing is part of a bigfer problem that gets repeated elsewhere. Feels like to much of a harsh end result beeing tied to 1 dice roll.

The other classes thst can heal arent added to the game yet though right? Kinda problematic yes 😂

I play with a group and we have made quite a number of characters and we have noticed that an option to randomize the character is missing and would be greatly appreciated. There are many people who would like to just hit randomize until they get something close to what they want and then adjust from there. This is especially useful for the names and appearance section. Also, the more options you have, the more useful the randomize option becomes. Please consider adding a randomize button to the character adjustment/creation area. Thank you.

Add Day and light cycle. If Solasta a company of 17 people can do that I hope Larian can too. It felt immersive to see the days changes in Solasta and fighting at night was more dangerous.
