Alright! I just want that achievement anyways. :3

[tootboot]

Tried this game again yesterday. Still can't get the resolution to be playable (broke when it went to steam for me)

Try deleting the 'T-Engine' directory in your user folder.

Tried this game again yesterday. Still can't get the resolution to be playable (broke when it went to steam for me)

You can try to edit manually the resolution in the resolution.cfg file located in your t-engine user data
for xp that file was found in :
X:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\T-Engine\4.0\settings\
for vista/7/etc... that file is found in :
X:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\T-Engine\4.0\settings\

and set a standard resolution like 800x600 by example (then change it from ingame options or enlarge the window manually)

Now for something different, while i was exploring the spider cave in the east, i noticed the floor of each level was having lots of wormholes

Spoiler: Wormholes (click to show/hide)

Those wormholes don't react well to magic.  Hitting one with a spell releases a burst of anti-magic.

[Robsoie]

thanks, i was lucky my character wasn't a spellcaster then

[Robsoie]

some more progress on my more and more terminator-like Halfling Brawler.
My character just reached level 40 after going to East and coming back to West , completing all the West remaining places with the destruction of all the backup guardians and now ready to go after the Prides in the East.
And that guy is one punch killing nearly everything or at most 3 or 4 punch killing bosses.

Sure the gauntlet i use (Hand of the World-Shaper) is really great (it even shoot Earthen missiles on 15% of hit, and it's not rare considering how many punches my guy deliver each turns), and i have great items improving my punch dealing stuff, but wow, never i had played brawlers at such level of "enemy total destruction" without really feeling threatened (though as i play te4 for so long, maybe i'm unconsciously avoiding every kind of dangerous behaviour too )

When it's not my character willingfully attacking and destroying an enemy, it's the enemy being destroyed by attacking me and falling on my retaliation punches, the Flexible Combat prodigy making things even more crazy of course.
Brawlers are definitevely a powerful class right now, i think i have even less problems annihilating things than with an Oozemancer.

One one of the patrols/ambushes, i found an artifact i never saw before so i guess it's a recently added one , seems to be a nice piece of armor, unfortunately useless for a brawler

Noticed while i was clearing Tannen's tower that there were new lores pieces in it, making a link between Tannen and the demons (i guess there must be some kind of references to this in the DLC from what was said in those Tannen notes)

Yeah, brawler has a pretty unfortunate niche when it comes to gear. I got lucky with an early Untouchable and nice gloves, but I think I got tarrasca (not new, btw, just rare) and Borfast's cage (similar, ultra-heavy armor, from that unique ghoul in Dreadfell). I got ridiculously lucky with artifacts on that guy, actually.

[Robsoie]

The limitation in armor is not that bad, as the brawler in current version nearly one-hit destroy everything.
I don't remember even bosses going down that fast with any of my previous winners.
Who needs armor if nothing can live long enough to hit you

[Frumple]

Brawlers can defense tank, if it comes to that. And there's always resists and whatnot, which leather and cloth are actually better for, on average, from what I can recall.

But yeah, outside the higher difficulties offense > everything. Normal difficulty you can go really slim on defensive stats and get by pretty fine, in general, providing you hit hard enough.

[oldark]

Hrm thanks for the suggestions for the resolution fixes. DG would never offer any solutions when I talked to him. I'll try them out when I get the chance later.

[Robsoie]

hopefully it will work, it worked for some people that had problem to have Tome4 displaying anything after launch

My character is now level 44 , 2 orc prides have been crushed under his mighty fist of total destruction.

I had a little tough time in the necromancer pride entrance, as the focus fire of so many necro with the little res i had was a problem when my shield rune went down and i completely forgot to enable the 2nd shield (from the light tree i got from an escort), i teleported fortunately and resumed total destruction, poor guys nearly had pity of them when my character came back at the entrance and one-hit killed each of the remaining necros.

Then when i reached leve 42 i took draconic body as my 2nd prodigy just in case i forget i have a 2nd shield in incoming pride and sorcerer crushing.
Brawlers are sure very fun when you're fed up of characters feeling "weak" when it comes to dealing real damage.

[Robsoie]

Orc Prides ?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This one has been the boss that resisted my character for the longest time before going down in the whole game, probably due to him constantly regenerating

Orc Prides crushed.


Guardians of the Slime tunnels ?

High Peak ?

Everyone in High Peak crushed.

Now to prepare my equipment to face the last battle, hopefully i will not get some nasty surprise from the rolls with the guys waiting, they need punching and kicking (i wonder if the grapple skills are worth anything in current version, i didn't took a single one of those grappling trees and never felt the need at any point).

Still impressive how brawlers completely annihilate everything in current version, and funny to notice that it's the character i cared the less about +resist items since the years i play tome 4, in fact i had low resistance (less than 30%) nearly everytime and still not a single death.
Destroying enemies fast indeed prevent the need of resisting their attacks

[Robsoie]

And so it ended

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the Sorcerers were facing the Brawler and his Sun Paladin ally


Who would win, magic or punch and sword in the face

Well.



Let's say that magic got punched in the face, a lot



Magicman was the first to go down, while Magicwoman was busy fighting Sun Pallywoman.
My healing and regen coupled to my shields made sure Magicman wasn't a threat, and he had nothing to prevent my insanely high damaging punches and kicks, even his invisibility didn't really helped

Then Brawler extraordinaire went to help Sun Pallywoman to destroy Magicwoman, as the summons of the portals were helping Magicwomen a bit too much.
(i decided to not close any portal due to several of my skills increasing -a lot- my saves and defenses according to how many enemies are in sight, probably another reason why Magic boy coudn't do much)



Let's say that things really didn't go well for Magicwoman, she got the same repeated punch and kick in the face Magicman got, while helped by multiple sword stabbing in the face from Sun Pallywoman.

And she went down , the world was saved apparently, Brawler extraordinaire kissed Sun Pallywoman or something like that and they lived happily ever after.



Oh yeah, i forgot Melinda was still waiting in my fortress instead of helping, oh well.

As a summary, i think that Brawler is the most powerful class now, i have many wins of many classes, but never i got to destroy absolutely everything with so very extremely few though situations.
Even my Oozemancer had more hard spot than my Brawler.

Final stats of that Brawler Halfling.

[Satarus]

Yeah brawlers are kinda OP.  Several movement options and some great DPS.

[Robsoie]

Yes, the place in which the Brawler high mobility + high damage output was the most noticable was in the bottom of Dark Crypt, when you have only a small time to kill all the cultists in order to save Melinda, it was incredibly easy and fast to reach all of them and one-hit killing the buggers.

And that without a movement infusion yet, i guess with one it must be even faster to clear that sacrifice room
