The afflicted? Yeah, they're playable. Cursed unlock is pretty easy -- just wander around the kinda' inverted U portion of the forest north of last hope, and you'll figure out the rest. You can do it pretty much any time, but around level 10 is good for making sure it doesn't surprise you.

Doomed unlock, on the other hand, is a bit of a beast. Mostly because the place you unlock it is in the east and the fight scales to your ability in a particularly nasty way, heh. It's also incredibly easy to abuse for an easy victory, though, if you get that far and don't mind being unscrupulous

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Doomed is unlocked when you defeat a copy of yourself made by a particular boss in the east.The easy way to win this fight is to either equip no weapons or one you're particularly weak with (elm staff on 'zerker, iron dagger on archmage, etc.) and then trigger the copy's creation. This is done by knocking down said boss's bone shield.

Or you can do the way I did it to begin with, and do the legit unlock later on.

Code: [Select]

afflicted = true
afflicted_cursed = true
afflicted_doomed = true

I still haven't quite figured out cursed, but the general idea seems to be a really really rough early game transitioning into an easier time late game. That's what I've heard anyway, I've never gotten past the first dungeon or so with most cursed.

I meant more on the lines of what kind of build works with cursed. I've found them to be terriweak.

I havent tried the new doomed (I manually unlocked them in an old version), but unless they've been pumped up I doubt it's any differnet...

[Frumple]

Cursed put a few points into ruined cut, then max the gloom talents (except torment). Pick up frenzy, and this'll pretty much get you through the second tier dungeons. They get a bit more complicated later on, though, and it's too early/late for me to recall effective builds for 'em, heh.

They should have an easier time of things in the latest betas, since base accuracy got bumped up a few points.

The doomed unlock looks scary, but it isn't too hard. Once your doomed copy loses enough health it'll mostly stop attacking and start fleeing from you. Though, I'm not sure if it's A.I was improved recently.

I don't like the afflicted classes. Cursed doesn't fit my playstyle and doomed kinda suck against everything, except bosses.

Okay, where are the personal data files such as the unlock list stored on Windows 7? I had no problem finding them on Linux but I'm having a little trouble with this one...

EDIT: Found it.

[ChairmanPoo]

Found a couple of resource leech items with my arch... now I need one dot of armor training to use them....

[Lmaoboat]

How do I get that radial cooldown overlay on the icons to come back?

[Lmaoboat]

I think I found several instances of "suicide watch" being misspelled as "escort quest"

[Frumple]

I think you mean "assisted suicide," there. It fits better fairly often.

Did you know there's actually an achievement for personally killing six of your possible nine escortees?

[Lmaoboat]

I haven't personally killed any, they just beg for my help, and then beeline right into a horde of enemies.

[Seriyu]

If you didn't know, you can right click an escortee and tell them to "stand still" through the "give orders" menu. It only works a few times though so watch it.

[Frumple]

Or hit F2 (F3, or higher, if you've got other allies), or click on its box in the party members area (on the left), or hit ctrl+tab. In windows, anyway, by default. You can change the keybindings, of course -- the list's under 'party'. It works infinitely, from what I understand, but there's something like a 20-something turn delay between usages. The wait also isn't a very long wait, at all

[Lmaoboat]

The level feelings aren't very useful. I've been fine on very dangerous ones, and got roflstomped when it said I was confident.

[dennislp3]

yeah I always get curb stomped out of nowhere lol
