Interesting. Will the general difficulty level have other effect on this minigame beside the battle difficulty? Say, will they inflict more damage on your ship quicker on NM and will the player's long-range attacks be weaker against them?



(Minor typo in the last sentence, I don't think "conditions" should be in plural.)





Those of you who hate bad puns, look elsewhere....

Are those pirates rowmanceable or shall we just ship them elsewhere? :D

No the damage to the ship will be the same. In practice each turn you decide to attack from distance you'll see a normal combat round (still thinking how many "turns" allow) in which you can hit enemies and they will just defend so the difficulty will be present there increasing enemies HP/defense and making them hard to be killed. Your goal will be to kill as many as possible before entering the normal melee battle.



p.s. your bad puns are REALLY BAD

For everyone looking to get the inevitable "Take no ship damage on nightmare difficulty" achievement, regen dance classes are only €100/hour today.

Wait the ship damage is related to the ship itself, and each pirate cannon shot has a 75% chance to hit. So is a bit randomized. The ship hull has 5 "hit points" (different status condition) so once you take 6 it's game over. In practice if you're unlucky you can hit 5 times, otherwise you might be able to hit enemies from long range a few times more. I'll need to tweak it during testing of course.

Actually can't we just do it Assassin's Creed 4: Ship Simulator style? If they fire at us, we just duck and the ship takes no damage. Because enemies always aim for the crew's heads, and the crew and the ship are emphatically linked.

This is looking good, I like it!, nice mini-game

another fun scene there's a treasure in a sunken ship. Rowinda has the solution and screams "bubbleheads!" and the party starts to panic fearing the consequences. Luckily it was just a harmless underwater breathing spell

*grins* When I first read it, I thought it said Bobbleheads which would have made for an interesting spell...and one I could see Rowinda doing

a fun misunderstanding between a pirate and Krimm

A serious moment of the game:

in this act there are many cool moments. A lot of laughs with Rowinda but also romance and some very touchy scenes involving Chalassa/Krimm etc.

Stop trying to force me adding stuff to the game! Look I even put the flying Spirit of Ninim the first time you get it from the blacksmith!

Isn't the spirit a druid weapon? Althea is a hunter and shea is a ranger, why not choose a weapon for their class?

I'm pretty sure that's just Jack testing the dialogue

Yes the only working save I managed to keep after compatibility broke, was Hunter/Warrior's one so just tested the dialogue that way

I hope that's obvious from the "friendly tone" of the dialogue that the CENTAURS CAN'T BE ROMANCED!!!!!!!!! (at least in this game)



(they're one of the extra sidequests in ACT4)

K, I get it, no romance,



....



How about dem riding lessons?

Well.......... besides, as you might know.... horses have a different anatomy... you wouldn't want to have a sexual intercourse with a horse RIGHT!?!?
