Raedric is such a prick. Managed on normal difficulty up to him and want to slay him and his whole team. Sure I could either leave him for now and go and find a 6th party member, or do some esoteric positioning of my crew in doorways, but I'd really like to just destroy him as he sits on his throne.
Raedric was my favourite fight in the game because it's the only decent party v party fight.
Make sure Eder is your pointman and Durance is buffing like cray cray.
Have you got a full party? I first did it with five with my PC as a Chanter off-tank but you can hire your own adventurer from the pub to make your party 6 strong. Or go and get the dwarven Inuit first if you want all pre-made characters.
Pillars was always much more straight faced and traditional with standard CRPG combat. Can’t speak for the new Divinity, but Original Sin 1 was more jokey and combat is turn-based and moves as-if on a grid - position and power combinations are far more important than the dice rolling of Pillars.
Pillars has the groundwork for decent if not ground-breaking combat but the encounters themselves are very dull. Many dungeons have you fighting half a dozen of the same make-up of mobs for example. 3 Trolls and 2 jellies or something.
I'd agree it's a bit too serious and everything I read says Divinity is a better combat engine, but I'm enjoying the graphics, sounds and world building.
Boff, cheers. Decided to leave Raedric and go and become ridiculously OP before taking him on. Still only got 5 in the party but have just built a barracks so I can hire a 6th for now.
Really, really liking this. It's certainly rekindled my love for CRPGs.
Absolutely delightful from what little I've played. Hoping to sink a few hours in this evening, but the comments I've seen (this is the BG2 to PoE's BG) give me hope. Deliberately ignoring all reviews because... well, I know what I likes and I likes punching things in an isometric perspective and reading lots of things.
