The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
DAI's combat is not particularly challenging on normal, you shouldn't really be running out of potions.
wut, excuse!
You only start out with 8!
I had no problems for a long time, but there are some places that make it veeeeery hard to use tactical cam due to the space being small, so it's next to impossible to position people correctly, and so that stuff's gotta be used, and there's no way to stock up for ages.
Did a boss fight on everybody-half-health and no potions and managed, but I mean, I'm good at this stuff and it's starting to get a little tricky.
OK the internet and world in general is getting under my skin in a big way right now. I can't explain it. But I literally just can't even. I cannot even even. Shut it all down until I'm ready to revisit again.
Thankfully I did not have very high hopes anyway so the disappointment levels are pretty low. I can understand how it would be even more disheartening for the unprepared though.
Why are there no healing spells anymore? Is there a lore based reason for that? There was a whole healing focused sub class before.
A lot has changed with skills
they have condensed everything quite a bit
Pros: You can like, fill out more than one skill tree and get hella powerful shit
Cons: basically only elemental mages w/ some spirit powers, no Templar powers for warriors (sadface), etc.
There may be like, some sort of training aspect later on in the game but I honestly don't know. This could be it. Or, you could get new skill trees through some mechanic I'm unaware of.
Cassandra can get Templar powers. You can also specialize the Inquisitor later in the game.

If it's on normal you honestly don't need the cam though.
Personally I am not a fan of any form of health or stamina recuperation that does not involve fireside consumption of food and beverage preferably hot chocolate or jerky.

I didn't get a cute cat gif as smack talk last week. I am sad.

I like the cam and my computer runs HELLA slow so it's about the only way to actually keep things under control
also my mouse has no scroll wheel
this is a contributing factor

There are harder fights later. I just finished a sidequest fight where I basically HAD to use tactical view because otherwise I was just getting annihilated. Luckily it was in a place where using tactical view was easy to do, though.

Seriously, I want to know the thought process behind "Remove all healing spells and give them a limited number of potions and no out of combat healing".
It just annoying forces me back to town every once in a while just to heal and refresh potions.
It adds a resource management aspect that wasn't there before when you could just wait for mana to recharge. Now, in a tough area, you have to be wary of how far out you can wander from camp, and making a push toward a distant objective is more likely to be successful if you have prepared potions and equipment thoughtfully beforehand.

there are some segments where you either cannot return to camp to replenish, or doing so would be really irritating
Just make sure you're prepared before going into any of the story missions, because it's easy to get into a situation where you need to reload from an earlier save.
I wish the resupply crates they gave you in story missions weren't just single use.

From what I heard on the PC gaming podcast where I first learned of this, the thinking was: healing magic effectively gives you infinite hit points and you can't really balance encounters against it. And some other stuff. Check the Crate and Crowbar podcast; probably the lastest episode.
Everyone knows it's not a real RPG unless you develop stockholm syndrome

Is BC really all that blameless?
Maybe the blame actually rests squarely on her shoulders.

Yeah, the "expedition" feeling of going out and securing camps in a new area is really cool and I enjoy it. You really feel like you're exploring and expanding your influence, and like you can't be out there forever so you need to pay attention to your resources.

I sigh in relief that I did not marry Lucina
but which of the male children should Lucina marry? she's at basically B level with all of them. Bish is popular.

You will find that you can easily walk into situations that are outside your level range, though.

But that was because it took me way too long to figure out that the pride demon was immune to damage until I used my magic hand.

Abuse the shit out of that magic hand.
I feel like rogue inquisitors probably get an unfair advantage for any rift fight because I can just go invisible and use the magic hand.
