Re: Willpower vs Essence

Well if we gonna go with names, Athian, Avalyon, Whisper. :) I'd like to comment on what Grokk said. I do agree with that side of the discussion, but maybe then willpower stat could be renamed? I mean, I've never seen a game where willpower, which most affects RP and my character's personality, was ...

I've seen a few characters stand inside a fire for over a minute. Is that effect of high willpower?

Re: Willpower vs Essence

Solution: Stop exploiting the character creation system. Illarion isn't (shouldn't be) the place for 'builds' and 'min-maxing'. Yeah, don't give me that jazz. What Llama said pretty much.

Re: How to brew a druid knowledge potion

Grr. Flux, what's the point of having an effect, that you don't tell anyone about, and that is impossible to test, because the game neither provides numbers, nor precise statistics for what things do. An effect no one will ever know? Why even have it if nobody has a chance to find out what it is? Is...

Willpower vs Essence

I apologize for the topic, but i tried searching for an answer, and did not find this. I don't believe this is a "find out ingame" type question, because as a player I kinda need to know what character I am creating. When it comes to essense and willpower, I have experimented with characte...

Thank you very much for changing this. Why were auto emotes even put in for spells? 1. They're very annoying and cover the view and already narrow chat bar.

Re: Brainstorming on Noobia

I guess i just happen to not hold the same opinion, which is okay and not worth arguing about. Would you say the same thing if you never found a magic teacher? Would you be content playing a common man after being teased with Illarion's magic capabilities?

Ambidexterity vs Dominant Hand

Is every character currently ambidexterous in the game? It would be cool if you could detect which hand slot is being most often used for crafts and combat, and give that hand extra success/damage/hit rate, thus making it the dominant hand. If both hands are used equally, the scaling would be even. ...
