I like wits on my caster because I grabbed the spell crit ability based on wits, so far it has been some good times. Go first, AOE or focus and something dies if I crit.
This game does a great job of making me feel like I am missing stuff, do I get on the boat? Do I go into sewer tunnel first? etc etc.

Haha, oh the irony. I had restarted abit ago to make Ifan my custom guy as a summoner thinking that his source wolf scales with summon skill so he would make a good summoner. But i assumed it was on a second summon....not that you could only have one out hahah fuck.

Just got out of Fort Joy this morning, game is kicking my ass and I love it. Main guy is polymorph (can't remember the name) and then using Ifan Fane and Lohse as their defaults. Was using spear on my main guy but had to swap to dual daggers cause I found a couple that were better than my spear, will probably swap back to a 2h once I find a decent one.

I did the same, but not only does the wolf take a source point to cast, it also has worse stats than the summoner's normal pet. It's pretty bad, but at least it's on a different cooldown so if your normal pet dies quickly, you can summon the wolf while the incarnate is recharging.

The thing with pickpocket is you might as well just download an unlimited gold mod and save a few minutes. My next play through I won't be using lucky charm or pickpocket at all so I actually have to take some time and be careful with item upgrades. I currently don't use pickpocket and still have like 70k gold from lucky charm.

Around level 15 and Summoning is, as noted above, a joke. Necromancy is absurd. For 3 Action Points, you can summon a Bone Widow. With ONE point in Necromancy, it has more hit points (1800ish - Compared to the Incarnate at 17 Summoning having around 1100) and does the same damage (Physical/Poison), the only issue being that it lasts 5 turns, instead of 9.
Even the 'special' summons you find, like the Condor, do not seem to scale at all with Summoning. Combined with the relative low damage of it's offensive spells, all that it has going for it are the totems - Which all die to two AOE spells or one melee round from any enemy.
Three of my characters have Summon Bone Widow now... and it is making Tactician mode simple. Probably going to swap my Summoner to anything-but-Summoning, put one point in Necromancy, and ride the creepy, giant bone spider train to victory.

Best traditional RPG I've played in years, I can't give it enough credit.
Also jumping on the bone spider train. Once we found the skill book I respecced to geo/necro/summons with a splash in hydro and aero. The summon is insane doing about 800 damage a turn at level ten. The amount of magic armor or physical armor I can spam on myself, a party member, or both (with soul link) is just stupid.
In the Act 2 graveyard we ran in to a dog that summoned a "bone troll" which preceded to one shot my buddy through about 300 armor and 500 or so life. The dog had its armor broken on my friends first turn so I shackle of pained the dogl and just walked in to the bone troll so he could Aoo me. I survived with about 400 health left after having had 460 armor and 1k health. Dog dead from shackled pain damage, fight won. Just so many neat ways you can solve problems.

The summons actually do scale with your Summoner level, including the spider. If you drop Summoner its stats will drop as well. The spider is overpowered, no doubt, but it's the necro/summoner combo that makes it really powerful. They need to change it to scale from the Necro line instead.

Does anyone else get lost as fuck panning the camera around? Wish they would add a cone of vision on the mini map for the camera.
EDIT: Also is it just me or does voice acting always kill the mood in these types of games. I don't need your shitty voice actors to read me lines. I swear the only voice actor I've enjoyed is the narrator.

Just turn off the voices then? There's actually several voice options in the Audio menu, can turn off only dialogues or everything. As for the camera, I don't really but I guess I'm used to maps. There's a north indicator so you can line up that with the big map when you're done checking stuff.

I have to admit, after reading all of the raving here and elsewhere I am pretty disappointed in the game. I find the gameplay sloppy, paced poorly, and very uncommunicative. The RPG system is full of interesting ideas but the implementation is ridiculously uneven, riddled with inconsistencies and lacking in all sorts of information.
I think my opinion is much lower than it should be due to have just come from playing the XCom2 expansion, and at their heart they are very similar games. I've been critical of other CRPGs for the same reason (especially Pillars), and this game does do a much better job of updating the tactical layer, but I find myself more confused and frustrated than anything.

Understanding all of the interactions that can occur is definitely a pretty steep learning curve. But figuring shit out is pretty cool.

I think it's mean to be freeform and not a min-max get and do everything kind of game. One door opens when another closes is a more accurate comparison. You absolutely will miss shit as its nearly impossible to have all of your characters with the right traits/skills to get every check or shit you don't discover.
Like even in the first area there are seriously like 6 ways to get out of the Fort.
