Re: Thank you for making LoG2 DRM-free and not requiring Ste

I... Huh... I never understood this. Why do people not like steam? Installing any game you own is as easy as finding the game in the list, and clicking install... And uninstalling is just as easy, and it lists every game you own. I like to have control over updates. Once an update comes out, Steam ...

Re: Doesnt the Human Race feel lackluster?

Humans are good because there is no replacement for skilled. A single skillpoint is better than pretty much any trait in the game, and keeps its value the entire game. You will always learn important abilities one level sooner (such as learning a useful spell earlier, level 5 heavy weapons earlier, ...

Re: Party based on Role Playing?

Very few people do pure min/max strategy. That might mean 4 lizardmen with endure elements. The rule I set for myself was only one character of each class, of each race, and of each weapon build, and one character must be human (sort of a self insert character). I also dislike relying on limited ite...

Re: Is anyone else not enjoying this as much as the original

I enjoyed the original more, and I'll come right out and admit: it's purely because it was one, big, linear dungeon. That design hits the spot for me. I'm still enjoying Grimrock 2 a ton (the original is one of my favorite games). Combat (including enemy designs, AI, and boss fights) is much better,...

How does armor work?

The game does a good job of explaining damage, but I currently have no idea what armor does. Anybody know yet? 1. How does armor affect a basic attack? Like a 50 damage attack vs 20 armor. 2. Does armor affect fire/ice/lightning damage at all, or do only the resistances affect those? I've been plann...

Re: my thoughts and suggestions after finishing normal and h

ALSO -- auto-pickup works great... unless you want to enchant arrows. in which case, it's extremely annoying. your arrows don't get picked up, and you keep having to re-enchant them. massive annoyance, and not worth the trouble. Mage with orb of radiance in one hand and a single non-enchanted arrow...

Re: Regarding DEX.

I agree. Bows are a specialized skill, not a byproduct of being dextrous. They should be mainly based on your progress in that specialized skill, with strength playing a lesser role.

Re: my beefs with LoG

My rogue is the MVP of my team. He fires really fast and since he can put everything in strength and missile he does good damage. Firing over and over from range is extremely effective. And I didn't even make him a minotaur, skulls would make it crazy. Using enchanted arrows was annoying at first be...

Assassination and range weapons

Some of the assassination skills mention melee weapons explicitly. Some don't. Do they all only affect melee weapons? For example, the backstabbing and improved critical. Should it say "doubles the chance of scoring a critical hit with a melee weapon"? 20 Improved Backstabbing (Triple dama...
