hello all, after last played the game years ago i've recently been feeling like playing throught it again, and i was wondering, but i've been struggling to decide which assignment to go for during conquest since they all seem interesting in their own way, i remember that back during my initial playtrought i went with Lethian's crosssing and stalwart, so i'm wondering, what do people find are the most interesting assignments ?

edit: i've never actually finished the game beyond stalwart so avoiding spoilers would be apreciated, thanks in advance

Most guides say you need at least Favor 4 to get him to swear loyalty to you, but I managed to do it with Favor 3 (93% to Favor 4) and Wrath 1 (53% to Wrath 2). You just have to be very careful with what you say. Has anyone else been able to do this?

Forgive how vague I am with this, but I am confused with my current progress on my first run-through. I just finished speaking with Tunon for the second time and I labeled Voices of Nerat as the primarily guilty party. After that...nothing. my quest insists that I continue to gather evidence, but I am not sure at all where to go.

I'm obviously missing something, but can anyone lend some advice as to what should come next?

So this is going to be a odd question maybe.

It's been a while since I've played the game, last time I did I did it for the Chorus so as to spend as much time with Soulcatcher (I mean Voices of Nerat) as possible.

But I've been looking forward to doing another runthrough and decided to take a peek at the wiki for some fun artifacts to build around.

I ended up on the page of the Bronze Brotherhood and the list of endings for every faction, and I was rather stumped by something.

The Bronze Brotherhood, another faction pretty heavily inspired by the Black Company books much like Nerat is, does. . . not actually seem to have an ending at all. Only one where they drive Leithan's Crossing into the ground under their rule.

Which you don't get by allying with them, you get that by leaving them alone in whatever path you are on.

So. . . what's the deal?

Do they have actual endings and ending slides that just are not listed on the wiki here?

Or were they just. . . not given any at all?

Hello everyone!

I have already completed this wonderful game several times and would like to complete it again and gain new experience.For this, I want to complete the game solo without companions and for my character to have access to all the skills of companions.I have not found suitable mods. I have found cheats for adding talents, but I have not found talent IDs.

Do you have any ideas on how to do this?

You are Kyros, an overlord of unknown origin and you're on a mission to conquer the entire world. It takes you thousands of years, meticulous planning, and a mysterious power that nobody but you knows anything about, but you do it! Now the whole world is at peace.

... Except that two of your least favorite generals are arguing a bunch, sabotaging each other, and causing a whole corner of your empire to fall apart. No big deal, all you need to do is send some rookie errand girl/boy to deliver an Edict that'll most likely kill everyone in the valley. Problem solved!

... Except the glorified courier actually just resolved the Edict while the generals got even angrier at each other. So, now a civil war's broken out along with a full scale rebellion. Okay, not great but it's fine. Just tell Bleden Mark to keep an eye on it and it'll resolve soo-

... They're still at it. Okay fine, you'll just have to order them to fight it out properly. The last Archon standing gets the Tiers. So what if you're hearing rumors about another Edict being unleashed or that one little courier sniffing about the spires, it'll be fi-

... They're casting Edicts now!? Where they'd learn to do that!? And did they just kill/subdue all the other factions!? This is bad, okay, time to send the main army in. You'll be fine, if you kill them quickly enough nobody will ever know that someone else learned how to-

... Is that Edict heading for the empire!?!? Aw man, what's next? Are they going to declare war and begin their own conquest of your entire empire?

... Why do you hear war horns?

He's always about 4-5 levels ahead of any character, including main.

Anyways, finished Disfavored run: very enjoyable, seeing Graven Ashe swear to Fatebinder was very cool.

Now I'm thinking of maybe, New Game + ( I think it kind of fits since you already start from position of experience) or a new run from the start.

How does Chorus or Anarchy run compare ( I'm guessing it's more or less the same, except you also kill even your current main faction, like on other playthrough)?

Hey guys so I went through the majority of the game siding with nerat and in the end I killed both him and ashe and then I went and killed tunon and his assassin too lol. Oh and the proclaimed and edict on kyros as well.

So I've been researching the endings, first of all, bariks ending is bugged for me because it shows both that he's depressed and he's fine and respected by his troops endings.

But I also noticed another thing, if you have no armies left I assume the ending you get is

"Without allies, the winds are especially cold atop your Spire. You await Kyros' inevitable advance, brooding over the decisions that led you to this point. Though the Tiers are a friendless place, they are indisputably your new home."

But even though I killed ashe, nerat, tunon and his assassin i got the one where it says

"From your perch atop the ancient Spire, you can see hints of the Northern Empire just beyond the mountains. At your command, horns shout a triumphant cry across the valley - heralding the end of one long campaign and the beginning of another."

Is it a bug? Or is it because my companions had high loyalty to me or smth

Dumped 44 points into lore. 3 into Athletics. 3 into parry. I have spear and shield. 2 ice abilities from Act 1. How to progress next?

Is it possible to let Barik go later in the game? I want to free him of his armor and then let him go since I went with Anarchy path and he clearly doesn't want to stay with me.

Spoilers for Act 1.

Hi, so I finished Act 1 yesterday and defeated Tarkis Arri. During the conversation if you choose "Any last words?" she basically gives a shoutout to Nerat for their "aid without which we couldn't get far".

After you meet with Tunon you are tasked with finding out which Archon is treacherous and gather evidence.

This line from Arri seems like a literal first-hand confession that Nerat was colluding with the rebels, yet it is not listed anywhere. I replayed the scenario but nobody seems to care that she basically testified against Nerat.

What gives? In my mind this is a huge piece of evidence that the characters just completely ignore...

I only completed Act 1 so light with the spoilers please.

So like the title says, I took the quest to >!follow Insipid Moniker!<into Darkened Hollows where I was blocked and needed to find the way past it. I did so but now the teleporter wont work to get me back there, or if I go further into the game it only lets me go into the Fractured Depths. I know that there is the console command "areatransition" but I'm really not sure what to type in to get back to the starting area of Darkened Hollows. Can anyone help? Or even just provide a list of all the location IDs, specifically for Bastards Wound since I am pretty sure this wont be the first time the teleporters give me grief, given everything else I've read from people's experiences. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I played a character until gathering Barik, Verse and Lantry and found that my characters spells (the frost and lightning spells you start with) were missing and I couldn’t remake them in spell creation, as if I’d lost the frost and lightning cores. Think it may have happened after speaking to Graven Ashe and The Voices of Nerat.

After looking for a solution online I couldn’t find a similar problem so I started a new game only for the same thing to happen.

Anyone know the cause and possibly the fix for this? I’d like to continue playing but I’ll likely uninstall if not.

I wanna spell my brains out and was wanding how to achieve the highest posible lore, no matter balance or usefulness, i need the highest lore possible

Hey all! I could use your advice.

My girlfriend and I have recently gotten into our own D&D-like shows and audiobooks. I’ve constantly been finding myself wishing for that same open-end gameplay for videogames, and was directed to Divinity Original Sin 2 & BG3. (I know it’s not exactly the same, but it’s close enough from what I’ve heard.)

However those games feel very complex for me, as the closest I’ve played to an RPG is Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 which approach gameplay very different differently.

From there, I found this game suggested on a YouTube video. I figured I would give it a try, but feel very out of my comfort zone, like the game speaks a lingo I don’t understand. Do you have any advice for getting into the gameplay when I’m not used to games like this at all?

been struggling with the game loading screen freezing but waiting seemed to be the only thing that fixed it. Now I'm stuck inside the forge interior, every time I try to leave the loading screen stuck, I mean really stuck. It doesn't freeze or give the "game stopped responding" thing

I don't know what else to do, I remember playing this game way back and being fine with it, on the same pc

I want to make the archons as Kindred in a vampire the masquerade v5 game does anyone have any advice on how I would go about this

I am the part of the game where >!Bitter Quip !<is being accused of murder. Did you find them guilty or innocent based on their explanation and what were the consequences?

This isn't a financial decision. It's an if I like the game & am going to play it type decision.

For reference - I absolutely love Wasteland 3. The dialogue was a good balance of enough but not too much... which I found was not the case with Baldurs Gate 3.

I really didn't enjoy Divinity OS 2 at all. I found some of the more elaborate puzzles to be trial & error, rather than logic based..

I'm not assuming that's great info to base anything on, and obviously trying the game out is the real test.

But most importantly, I'd love to know why you love the game?

Hi, y'all! I'm making this post partly to gauge interest, but also to solicit some feature suggestions. It's been over 2 years since I released my first Tyranny mod, Bag of Tricks. I wasn't at all happy with how it turned out, so semi-recently I started working on a 2.0 version where I re-wrote everything. This also didn't turn out well, as working with the in-game UI is a total mess. This leads me to the point of this post.

I'm working on a 3rd party combined mod manager and mod UI that runs alongside BepInEx for Tyranny. The premise is that while the game is off, you can install/uninstall and enable/disable mods like with any mod manager. While the game is on, you can adjust mod settings similar to WeMod. The manager communicates with the game through a mod called TMMCore, which is also planned to contain some general QoL improvements to the game. It would also be very easy for other modders to integrate the menu into their mods (yes, I realize there are barely any mods for this game. Let a man dream).

With all that said, two questions:

1. Would anyone even be interested in a thing like this?
2. Does anyone have suggestions for QoL life improvements to add to the mod?

I will say that this is something I'm going to continue making just because it's fun, regardless of people's interest. And I've gotten to the point where it's mostly finished anyway.

!For context, I am working my way up the investigation while temporarily aligning myself with the Chorus. I did the Stalwart quest first and was absolutely horrified with the plot twist. Why didn't I have the option to rebel right then and there after finding out about the heir? That would make more sense than having the [Betray Alliance] option at the very start of the quest without having much knowledge about the situation.!<

!After that debacle, I decided working with the Chorus just isn't worth it. I went to the burning library next, and after getting the Silent Archive with the intention of double crossing the Chorus, my Fatebinder, WILLINGLY handed the scroll, a scroll full of forbidden knowledge that Kyros herself deemed so contraband that she elected to destroy it with an Edict, to an agent of the Voices that can actually read that stuff. Now, Nerat has the knowledge of the Silent Archive and with my Fatebinder is okay with it. What gives? That point is where the [Betray Alliance] makes the most sense or am I just overthinking it? I feel like I am being railroaded to if I decided to skip that betrayal option from the start of a quest.!<

!I feel like I have to put down the game for a while because my common sense doesn't seem to match my Fatebinder's.!<

Game has been humming along until now, I've played at least ten hours, and nothing that I know of has changed (unless they updated to break it overnight) but suddenly I'm just getting black screen on boots. It seems to boot to the menu, runs through the obsidian splash art (can hear it playing) and main theme, and the hand cursor shows up, but I can't do anything. I've tried restarting, reinstalling, verifying the game cache... Not sure what else I can do here. I do switch between having it on an external monitor and not, but that hasn't been a problem.

Suboptimal is okay.

Winning speach checks is my favourite.

I am trying to complete the assault on the citadel quest, but there is no icon for Vendrien's Well on my map? I "sided" with the disfavored (chose the lie option to meet them there), on the way out of camp Barik freaked out and almost left my party so I told him I would fight with the disfavored... only now there is no map icon to travel to Vendrien's Well Citadel? Did I break the game somehow?

From all the search results, it's seems like the consensus is that Dual Wield isn't worth it, the reason why I'm asking is sometimes threads about builds always get hijacked by min-max idiots who act like that 2.82 damage is life or death for some reason. I'll be playing on Hard Mode and I'm familiar with CRPGs, I like the fantasy of a Dual Wield Fatebinder, soooo do the min-maxers here actually have a point here?
