Big fan of this content. FYI -- you asked what happens if you go the other side of the Tower of Estrod and push the column there. You just kill a few different enemies than if you pushed the other column. It's also actually possible to push BOTH columns. Push the one on the left side FIRST. Then sneak around and push the other one. While the fireball enemy will still be alive, the fight is much easier.
I actually am looking forward to you going through the enigma step by step. Nenio is the one character whose personal quest I have never completed. Mostly on account of my never finding all four masks...
They're all in pretty annoying places that you'll naturally encounter in the story I think. There's one in the Ivory Sanctum, One in the Ineluctable Prison One in Pulara's Fall and the only one that you won't naturally have the opportunity to find is the one in the Heart of Mystery, a little west of wintersun.
Ok, let me get this straight. My Living Grimoire has a big ol' book, the last thing anyone would consider a legit weapon, and my intimidate check succeeded. You've got freaking SAWBLADES for swords, the coolest weapon ever featured in this game, and you FAILED? Ugh, I think you should've gotten a bonus! Concerning random battles, one idea I like to do is go ahead with the fights while recording, then edit them out if I feel they'd be redundant for the audience. Yeah, I hate the stinking clouds too. I mean, whoever thought it was perfectly reasonable to have you deal with those as early as the underground maze...
Its kind of sad knowing this series will end soon because there is no way it hits the 10% sub to viewer mark. LPs are my favorite genre of videos but the category is dead. Ill watch whatever you release though.
Yeah it's my favorite to do as well but like you said it's REALLY tough to make it work. If I ever do content creation fulltime I might try creating a channel wholly dedicated to Let's Play's and see if I can cultivate that audience.
Nah the views were super low back when i used to only do 30 min or 1 hour episodes as well. It's a style of video that a lot of people just don't enjoy.
They are great at first but people rarely watch the whole game with any let's play. Even on MkIceandFires videos. That's just how it works but I'll watch every episode of this one that's for sure.
what I like to focus on with Woljif is buff spells, Blur and Displacement especially. Having him buff his defenses with just raw miss chance and other resistances before sending him into melee works quite well.
I've never figured out who the tiefling woman who came to the shop was supposed to be. I'd guess Areelu, though technically not a tiefling, but her description doesn't match.
I also recently went back and started a new playthrough of this and holy crap is the stinking cloud spam early game insane. I'm running on Core and yeah those first 4-5 levels you run into so many spam fights of stinking cloud.
Woljif makes a great Rogue(4)/Vivisectionist(16) and it makes him a good party buffer to boot since Vivisectionist can put personal only buffs on others through infusions. That's my favorite Woljif build but your right he can go either way melee or spell castor with his stats
ahh the google build i think eldritch scoundrel itself is amazing enough for a rogue with spells for survivability (mirror image, blur, displace, shield, mage armor, etc etc) and damage (sense vitals, magic weapon greater, transformation, etc), if you want to be a real battle mage you could mix it up with eldritch knight and throw out touch and cone spells on every single crit he gets but lose alot of the sneak attack component. im actually quite convinced most people dont build woljif the way hes supposed to be built, because people min max their party so hard, they dont have a need for the rogue to buff himself... dont need shield, mirror image, sense vitals, etc yourself if you can have the brown fur transmuter give it, right? :D If we google woljif build we automatically get the vivisectionist build with a rogue dip, because vivisectionist is broken. But what about the elemental barrage woljif build? use 2 1 handers with alot of elemental lashes, give him eldritch knight or metamagic quicken so he can cast a elemental damage spell quickened (no aoo, no full attack skip) and watch him procc barrage the way a spell rogue is supposed to deal damage XD yeah prolly not gonna find a guide for that beauty.
@@SlanderedGaming well since they nerfed barrage to the ground (or to the point where it does what it sais it does) no one will talk about it. Before the fix it would apply the debuff on weapon procs and then explode on another weapon attack, basically adding roughly 40d6 divine damage per full attack. now you actually need to cast a spell to apply the debuff (quickened spells will allow a spell AND a weapon attack in the same round. I believe for turn based its a fantastic heavy thematic build, while for real-time-pause it can be a little tideous to keep it up. Lucky enough woljif is for most players a flex party member and with that a perfect fit for a experimental fun build.
I really love the lets plays! Also the reminds me, did they change the defender hearts attack timer. I replayed it and i almost was able to clear out everything before it proct.
1:05:00 i laughed so hard when i realized you failed to roll 8+ 4 times in a row XDD i had the same thing happen to me yesterday on a check where i had to roll 6+ and i failed it 7 times in a row, absolutely infuriating. by the way for those people who do this fight on unfair difficulty: push that pillar stealthed, go around and push the other one as well, makes this fight pretty easy, while it is still brutal with only 1 pillar. and heres another amazing tip generally for wrath of the righteous campaign: Delay Poison communal --> stinking cloud will only harm your enemies or no one while wasting a standart action of those dretches
Did Lilarcor in Baldur's Gate 2 start the talking weapon trend? It's what I immediately thought of when encountering Finnean, though the latter has MUCH more depth than the former, who just encourages the wielder to indulge in violence as much as possible haha.
Stormbringer was known to talk a couple of times in the Elric novels. Talking weapons have been around forever - in AD&D that was a possible option to roll up on intelligent weapons. Re: WoTR - I just wish you could give Finnean a much better ending if you do the Ascension ending.
Amazing episode as always slandered I feel the increase in difficulty in my playthrough at the moment because before dance of masks came out I was messing with my weretouched build in act 1 and even when I was level 2 and 3 it was still easy. However, it could be that I was just lucky before the dlc but now it feels like my mc is getting zoned in on by all the enemies.

Love your naration brother. Picked up your channel through your demon playthrough of this game. Love the passion you put into doing voices.
Yeah roleplaying as Issac is good ! Really loved that character in the show
Thank you!
Woljif is a front line melee guy for me, he crit like crazy.
Yup he's fantastic in that role.

Funny, how this episode becomes very memorable through 'Drech farts'... 😆

Might be because how long each episode is. I personally like the long episodes though

Don’t forget guidance when you’re doing skill checks, it’s only one point but sometimes that’s all you need. Camellia has it.
I’ve really been enjoying this play through, your voice acting and commentary are great and Isaac is a super cool character!
i didn't get a notification for this. RUclips sucks

I don't think I've ever used Elemental Barrage in a build I should definitely look at that.

There is also a ring if you pass the skill check along with 15K gold, IIRC. I think the ring is trickery or stealth.
Delay Poison makes you immune to nausea. I'm just not sure you have it with that group
I'll have it once we get a couple more levels. :)
Camellia has access to delay poison. It’s a level 2 spell.

I didn't even consider pushing both pillars. Thanks!
even with all a save scumming, pretty good stuff!
Thank you!
Love the LP! Didn't expect the voice acting, even better.

really appreciate your playthroughs sir
keep them coming
Thanks, will do!

Yeah things seem a tad tougher than what I remember but I'll get through it!
@@SlanderedGaming yeah I don't remember them ever using stinking cloud in act 1.
This game series looks very interesting but looking at the steam store i have no idea where to begin
