I played a bit this morning. Accidentally broke my paladin's oath while trying to get more info from a bad guy I was planning to kill.

Killed them instantly after the conversation, but that conversation broke the oath. Shouldn't have bothered either. Didn't get anything new.

And now I won't be able to savescum/press on until tomorrow at the earliest due to download speeds. I'm also on linux, so I might have to wait even longer if this patch breaks things again.

And I had a few mods...

So maybe this time next week?

Am on Fedora and have no issues playing on this new patch if that helps.

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

It does.

Granted, the fix for the last patch was pretty simple. Just delete a single file and it works.

Steam might redownload that file, but who knows...

The joy of trying to run a windows only game on linux.

Hmm so you had to delete a file from the last patch to get it to run on Linux? I definitely didn't have to do anything like that, running proton experimental through Steam. Curious, but what distro are you on?

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I'm on an Arch based distro called Garuda.

This is where I found the fix.

Got to love that site. Always good to know that I'm not alone in my random errors.

If I’m honest, I’ve not been able to play it... at all.

Mostly because the updates are multi gig downloads and I never leave my computer in an idle long enough to actually download them lol

But that sounds rough, I hope you’re able to salvage your Paladin’s reputation soon!

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

To download the game in the first place, I had to leave my laptop running overnight. Twice.

It was rough.

As to my paladin... I'm torn. I hard saved as soon as I figured out that I had broken my oath, but I have a soft save just before it happened.

I might just press on.

I'm also playing this run as a "no illithiad powers" run. No mind control, no eating tadpoles. I'll see how long that lasts.

[-] wren@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Oof.

I hope it works out!

It should be fun a challenge, but maybe not as fun as my naked golden dragonborn monk.

At some point in the run, I just stopped and said, "fuck, I need to play this guy in tabletop game"

He has the shiniest golden scales beneath rippling muscle. He sees the physical form as perfection itself, perfection that is too godly for such window dressing as clothing. But for modesty's sake, he might be convinced to wear a schlong thong. If you ask nicely.

In the lower city there is a clothing store. They sell an outfit called Angelic Scion. It’s basically a loin cloth and some gold arm bangles. Sounds like the perfect clothes for your golden god of fists.

Here is a screenshot of it on Astarion and Shadowheart
