Can give different conversations depending on the race you pick towards NPC's. some might be more inclined to interact if your race.

Is there a way to know that ahead of time though? Or can I leave the convo and come back as the other race?
I believe interacting with each of your party members sorta *resets* the conversation not 100% sure if you change your race and used the character you already interacted with I believe it does work, in any case I tend to spam quick save often before dialogue incase I fuck up.
Question for Act 1, not stuck, just curious about something..
So I kinda stumbled into the back entrance of Fort Joy prison/castle whatever it is. I came upon 2 guys with a little boy, I killed the two guys and then talked to the boy who said he was waiting for a guy named Verdas(sp) who was trying to escape but he was caught and killed. The boy offered to take me and my party out of there to escape Fort Joy. Is this a point of no return? Is there anything worth while inside the fort? I found the secret room and freed Withermore's(sp) soul. I've killed a bunch of Magisters but if there is nothing else worth while inside like a quest or important item/skill book, I'm hopping on that boat.

For all those hardcore gamers (myself included) who already made it to Act 3, is there a local hub? Or is the ship our only refuge?
You can return to Fort Joy once you make it out to finish up some quests you might've forgotten about (if you go back to Withermore's body you can loot a belt). However, the magister guards will now attack on you on sight. So prepare to do some fighting when you get back in or go stealth-like throughout the Fort.

You can head back in at any time and murderise everyone. The area east of the castle is twice the size of the area you have already been through. The point of no return is ages away.

Played a bunch today with the SO and we're loving it. Honestly, one of my favorite coop experiences so far in gaming. The only thing I wish is that it was possible for us to instant listen to the other person's convos rather than have to walk up and click on them.
I started out as a metamorph, specced currently 2 poly/2 war. I have two points placed in two-handed, but as I'm currently using a sweet epic shield for survivability/tank. Polymorph skills are a blast, particularly flying, which I'm using religiously now in combat to get around since bull has limited use. I plan to pick up and try the medusa and the steel skin ones soon. Tentacle attack scaling with strength is very nice, probably my strongest move, and works with physical armor. Chicken is a great spell since it also works with physical armor.
Current party:
Metamorph - Me - Female Human w/
Enchantress - Girlfriend - Female Elf
Fighter- Red Prince - Male Lizard

way to respec in Act 2 so I will probably respec myself out of two-handed, clean up some ill-placed points, and possibly respec Loshe to another magic caster to balance the party out.

See, I used the old faithful "get every oil barrel in existence and pile it around them" trick for that guy.
Also, the Blackpits oil rig fight is damn near impossible.
Thanks for the advice.
You can also combine the ooze barrel, located just by
the starting area,
Is it viable to go 2H for my tank, or do I need that shield for damage reduction?
You get to use the racial skill of what you transform into. So you get to turn into an elf for that sweet flesh sacrifice.

Reached ark...have no idea how far along that is in the game
Are you sure your character wasn't silenced, has happened to us a few times.

Arx you mean? Wait,
isn't Act 3 the Nameless Isle. Are there four Acts in the game? No spoils on how to get there, just wanna know if its a separate Act or not.

Hmm, end of act 2 companion quest question (Ifan and Sebille)
So you can only do one or the other it seems. If you talk let Sebille talk to Roost and you fight him, Ifan's quest doesn't progress even though you can find information that shows who is paying to hunt Godwoken. This is kind of a bummer.

Check the area in front of the gate with the guards. As in, if you're looking at the statue of Lucian as you walk into the ghetto, take the path to the left, and he should be to your right near a wagon and some barrels.

No, but why would silence skip a turn? Atrophy prevents a character from using melee attacks and melee skills, but it doesn't skip their turn. They can still move and use consumables. I don't know why silence would be any different.

Atrophy renders weapon-based abilities unusable. Silence renders magic/spells unusable.

This tweet is a couple of days old but its worth posting for people worried that the quest log bug is actually affecting the quests themselves:
https://twitter.com/LarAtLarian/status/909762513969012740
In short- it's just a journal issue. The quests themselves aren't affected.

Good point, not sure then, maybe we had both status effects applied (if possible), I just know every time I have seen a skipped turn I saw something like this on my character.
Thanks to both of you. I found the Guard skill later myself. iirc it was called Delay Turn in D:OS and the tutorial in DO:S says Delay Turn too.
I will give Big Picture Mode a try.
Another annoying thing... why switch to this ugly dialogue interface when using a controller.
Quick question about the act 1 ending...
Are the origin story characters that you don't take with you to the fight on the boat dead for good? I'm playing through with a friend and we're trying to avoid save scumming but we basically turned a character into a thieving mule for when we found something we wanted to steal off a vendor and lost all the items on her + all the sneak / theif gear.

the armor runes aren't working as they should
Are we sure the runes don't affect only the values of the gear its attached to? I.e. a chest armor with 20phys/20mag armor would have 22phys/22mag armor after attaching the rune to it.
Cause early game runes giving you +10% to both phys and magic armor sounds kind of a lot to me if we assume they're supposed to affect your total armor values.

That's because:
You committed a murder. The "Silent monks" and such do not attack you and aren't hostile. If you attack and kill an innocent person it treats it as a crime. That's why it didn't pop up for Kniles or such.
Basically just don't attack anyone unless they are hostile to you or it's treated as a crime.

Yeah, you had to choose your favorite ones before that battle.
There must be an autosave before that if you really want to fix things up.

When does vendor item actually refresh?
Is it on level up (quite sure it's not)? Or quest/story progression? Or maybe after certain interval?
Yes, it's ALT on keyboard as you said, and right stick click on gamepad. It's only showing things that your character can actually see from their point of view. So, if some item are blocked by an object, they won't be highlighted.

Wait until you get to the Lone Wolves camp. It's literally "this person next to you? Yeah, they are a dick" the quest.

It does not seen to highlight most items on the screen (like chests or barrels), even if my character is looking at them, but it does show useless rocks and such half a screen away.

I'm at Act 3 within the
and apparently if you make enemies with both
you are caught in 2 separate fights across the damn area which is fairly large. I do love this free-for-all scenario we have going on here but damn is having 2 fights at the same time so unnecessary; the game has to load like a dozen NPCs moves/abilities.

I do enjoy how they seem to have taken into consideration the criticism of the size of the towns post-act 1 in OS1. The main town in act 2 is not as large as Fort Joy, but it's a lot better than the first game.
texhnolyze
Banned
Yeah, that's intended. Chests and barrels aren't highlighted.
It only highlights smaller things that can be picked up.
But fort joy is small and doesnt really feel like a town
Act 2 hub feels more like a town than Fort Joy (I'd call it a village).
Fort Joy is a hub + a dungeon right at its gate. If we don't count the actual fort as act 1 hub, act 2 hub is much larger.

Any advice for someone not that familiar with party pased tactical RPG's like this, because right now I just feel that the game is being mean to me.
I have gotten out of Fort Joy

I have gotten out of Fort Joy
by boat, through following the Withermore Soul Jars quest. But after barely surviving the fight against the lizard like void creatures on the beach, I feel like the only way forward is through the deeper forest, where I'm attacked by several unded creatures, and something called a Void Woken Deep Dweller. And it feels like my party is nowhere near ready for that fight.
Can I go somewhere else after escaping by boat like I did, to get more experience and equipment, or am I just expected to git gud?

That fight is definitely more or less the mini boss when you get out of Fort Joy would reccomend doing more quests in Fort Joy or wander around and fight weaker encounters first.

I remember wiping to that fight 3 times, I recommend finding the second encampment/hub area before tackling there. Regardless for the fight itself what I did was position myself on the northern-most high ground area, the fight wont trigger until you go further down the road. Then I used a summon to pull the
Deep Dweller
On the high ground area I positioned everyone to the north-most position so they wouldn't be hit by arrows/spells from the opposite side or from the ground. Teleport comes in handy in sending spellcasters/archers away so they have to waste AP trying to get to you.
The
Deep Dweller
You can easily grind XP by returning to Fort Joy.
Because you left the whole Magister force is now hostile and will attack on sight. If you clear the whole Fort you can easily get 1 - 1.5 levels worth of XP and some loot that'll come in handy dealing with the things outside.
The Void Woken Deep Dweller is a mini boss, and personally one of my favorite fights so far, so don't worry yourself too much if he's beating you right now.
I took my sweet time in Fort Joy thinking once I escaped the first zone I would be on my way into act 2. Im pleasantly surprised that there is still so much to do. Gonna try to clear out all that I can and hoard skill books for my eventual respec.
I hope I dont over level since I feel like everything is pretty easy right now.

Regarding killing a vendor in Fort Joy:
So I killed Stingtail in the beginning, because I play as the Red Prince. He came up to me and started a fight, which he clearly lost. I did not know until later that he sells Fire-Spells and I think Skills for the warrior-classes. I am doing well on Tactician with my basic spells wit the magician and the knight, but I wonder if there is another vendor in Fort Joy for that stuff? I am inside the forest, after killing all the magisters in town.
