Tales of the Watcher: Pillar of Eternity I + II No Reload Adventures Greetings, Watchers! This thread serves as a place to share your no-reload adventures in the world of Eora. No matter if you are chasing after Thaos, Eothas or both, as long as you're in search of adra and ready to write...

@Alesia_BH @Serg_BlackStrider Regarding the plan of a PoE/Deadfire thread: I know you're propably both not ready for that yet (since Alena still has the SoA finale and the entirety of ToB to do), but since I've finished by last BG run and don't really want to start a new one right now, I have...

I have not followed DA4 almost at all since I'm essentially done with Bioware, but this trailer kind of looks like a badly made AI version of a dragon age game. This could've passed as a fan made speculative trailer, maybe, but if you'd told me ten years ago that this is the way Bioware is...

It would be sad to see you abandon the run after you've come this far - I agree with Antimatter's proposal. There isn't too much of SoA left (and honestly, SCS doesn't do much to make the SoA endgame very difficult in any recent version, no matter the settings - at least not in party-based...

Enchanters still get the symbol spells with v35, where stun and fear offer a saving throw, so it's certainly a buff for them, though not a huge one as these spells are rarely used. Conjurers don't really suffer from it, I think - the strongest spells of the power words and symbols are propably...

I'm not experienced at theorycrafting fights just from written information alone. That being said, a short look at the SCS demon knights - according to the readme, they should have the following abilities: Demon Knights (cast at 18th level): 20d6 fireball, once per day Power words: stun...

The secret council of druids approves.

I see. I basically never use free action as I love my haste effects too much. Regarding the IWD spells: Yes, they do tend to favor the player in practice, but I was still really surprised when I suddenly lost a character to a triple vitriolic sphere sequencer in my first run with them installed...

@Alesia_BH Regarding our Jaheira discussion: I'm certain I won't be able to tell you anything you don't already know - though I do wonder if you're actively progressing her companion quest, because once she has the harper pin, she should be able to get to saving throws (at least vs. spells) that...

All right, I'm going to say it. I am officially opposing the Jaheira slander. I'm taking a stand. You may be doing amazing things with your arcane spellcasters, but as someone who loves druids, my heart hurts reading some of the recent posts 😢 I propably feel how you felt way back in the day...

I am a bit busy until the end of the months, but could certainly start a run as soon as august comes around (and most times after that) - though I would not advise taking any inspiration from any potential PoE2 gameplay of mine. There is literally only 1 party member in the entire game that I...

@OrlonKronsteen Ascension diffulty changes a lot depending on the difficulty slider. If you're just planning to explore it, you could play around with that and find a setting that suits you. There is, indeed, quite a difficulty spike compared to even the harder SCS battles in my opinion, at...

Yeah, Lonk is a bit of a tough hurdle to overcome - every single time I've decided to fight him I've regretted it, nowadays I usually just bribe him with 2k gold. He opens with remove magic even in the vanilla game (something that is actually rare in unmodded gameplay and mostly reserved for...

I haven't tried jmerry's fix yet. I had no idea that the bug was an old one and existed when Saros used to play - I thought it had been introduced in a recent EE version. I wonder why I never encountered it until relatively recently. Regarding the idea of leveraging the bug: I kind of...

Always good to see Minsc get some use out of his ranger bonus against vampires. Just a short check since I see you're using fireshields: Are you aware of the dueling fireshields bug in the current version of the game? I just wouldn't like to see unexpected deaths from this (I just recently had...

Congrats on the successful rescue. The prefered spell selections, especially for higher mage levels, have indeed changed somewhat in the newest SCS base version. Another possibly useful hint for future high level wizard encounters that would've saved me some trouble in my first run with that...

I certainly do - in a few weeks, if things go well, I might actually write up something on a kind of no-reload run in another game :) Thanks for the warm welcome!

Enuhal here, mostly active in no-reload threads going all the way back to the ancient original bioware forums, where I started posting and playing Baldur's Gate no-reload runs as a teenager with a relatively poor grasp of English - now, many years and two forums later (Bioware Social Network and...

Hey everyone. Currently still not playing BG, but I will certainly return at some point - just letting you know that I'm still there and keeping up with the no-reload community while we once again have to change our forum of choice :) I have actually attempted two more undocumented runs a few...
