3rd time through (modded) SPOILERS

Post by windchime »

GUYS the 3rd time through and here is my comments:
let me first tell you my team:
Me Ranger/Cleric obscenely powerful
Valygar
Mazzy
Kelsey
Keto
Saerileth.
various mods (see futher)

NOW COMMENTS:
Ranger Cleric: very good! dualled immediately, wielding Crom Fayr/slings.
considering the rest of the team this was a spellcaster, sometimes used in melee (especially to slay golems)

Valygar+Mazzy: good but honestly i expected more than that... i don't know now, maybe that Valygar would REALLY eventually cave in...
anyway good fighting couple, her with the improved Arvoreen Sword (mod)and bow of gesen, him with Celestial Fury and heartseeker. I never played with a Stalker before and i really enjoyed this kit.

Saerileth: very nice romance from beginning to the end, not so powerful chosen of tyr (the chosens of cyric are really powerful though). good to have her though ( i didn't change her to inquisitor) she has two new areas and two quests, they happen too early in the game though...

Kelsey: super NPC, not overpowered i think, didn' try the romance as i was romancing saerileth. only thing they try to kidnap him twice and they put up a pretty good fight, same, too early in the game, then maybe this time i finished too quickly so maybe i wouldn't see some time-related quests. Sorcerers rock.

Keto: good companion, let her play, not fight! only one quest i was able to see (is there more?).

CHOSENS of CYRIC encounter:
---- me! that was difficult! to keep everyone alive! but it is a good sword you get, but only thieves or UAI can use it!.. is it part of the UB mod? i never saw this encounter before..

infinite experience: when in saradush, disable all autopauses and equip your characters with ranged weapons and put them in a line firing to the fire giants, leave them there overnight and just watch them every now and then because a dialogue might interrupt them... in the morning you find them with 5/6 millions XP....

They are from Rogue ReBalancing Pack. Very hard fight with some useful items :) But Venduris' "enhanced Detect Illusions ability" is a bit cheesy
