Well, if they stick to what Swen revealed to PC gamers:

PCG: Can you go into a little more detail on the kind of personalities that you're shipping in the update?

Vincke: We'll have a knight. That's what you can imagine. Then we'll have a rascal, a maniac, a judge somebody who's very judgmental預 priest, and a free-spirit, They basically all have different traits that they prefer.

If you put in, let's say, a judgmental character, who would for instance refuse to hire a companion, that's a very big impact on your game right there. If you role-play through that, that really changes your game. It's something that can happen in multiplayer also, right? It's basically what we're trying to do. This gives single-players the feeling of what you get in co-op multiplayer, when you deal with the actions of somebody else.


I would appreciate some official information from Larian though.

Can you add a general summary of the AI personalities?

I'm a bit sad that an option for custom portraits didn't make it to the list. Or did I overread that? Hope it will come with a future patch...

You could change it in the existing game but you might miss some of the new banter if they added new ones.

When you unlock the second room of Homestead you will get the option to change appearance and personality and voice.

Rage has a wrong tooltip.

It still says it drops armor+dex to zero.

When activating ingame it does the following:

- Chance to hit -25% (Really, like REALLY ?????)
- Armor does not get dropped to zero, it is a -50% penalty
- Dex stays the same

So now I can either reroll at lvl18 or respec and spend hours on scum-loading skillbook inventories frown

Does the "compressed saved games" mean this is now sync's over Steam's cloud service?

Cheers guys. Good work.

So do skill books like Whirlwind and Dust Devil actually show up in the vendor inventories now?

True, but I don't think it's a big issue. I haven't even noticed that in way more than 100h into the game... wink

Heavily dependent on your party makeup, your builds, the type of equipment RNG loot has blessed you with, and how an encounter plays out. Problems don't stop being problems just because some of the players aren't experiencing them. Otherwise we might as well just wipe the developer's bug list clean and call it "job well done". I play multiplayer, have zero interest in using AI personalities when playing solo - doesn't mean getting them in wasn't important.

What will be the next update, customize characters even more? Create custom personalities with strange traits? I would love to "build" a gentleman-thief...

Random loot is so lazy in a game without respawning monsters.

I would like to know if Rage gets "fixed" after if has been "fixed".
tooltip, ingame description and stat page do not make sense, everything tells you something different.
if the -25%hit rate is real you could have just dumped the trait or just make it +25%damage.
4 hits will only connect twice or thrice for 75% hitrate, making your damage overall THE SAME.

I wonder that the "custom AI" isn't already built in. In the PC gamer interview Swen more or less confirmed such a player-generated AI behaviour...


Edit: Rage always caused +50% damage. That's the trade-off for the -25% chance to hit. It's just the description which shows the wrong effects.

I know what Rage does/did.
Now it does not give you +50% REAL damage since you will miss 1 out of 4. making it useless for 4aps and its cooldown. You will get more damage with power stance which costs nothing to activate and adds +1 ap, which over 4 turns is the same as having rage active but nets you more overall damage.

This is counterintuitive. Rage is now for hybrids that do not use autoattacks.

Or it's something you have to use with CC or buffs to your hit chance.
