Godlike races are missing the equipment slot for headwear. Quite a bummer, if for example you want to equip the Maegfolc Skull for MIG +4 in order to reach a permanent MIG 28 as required for the sword Steadfast.
I realize now that my term of "god-like" was a bad choice. I did not mean those races in particular, but merely how some races are "god-tier" in terms of passive bonuses while others are not.
God-tier, garbage-tier etc.
Edit: fix typo classes -> races
To be clear, it has been a type mistake - and in the earlier post I've commented on races already.
Yes, you are talking about races. Stop being pedantic and just elaborate on what you think is unbalanced.
What's the point in you opening a thread like this if you provide absolutely no detail to your reasoning?
I wanna like the Amamau as well, but eventhough I try my best to use guns with her it doesn't seem worth it. Maybe if guns reloaded passively or something. I dunno...
*although I've not found a single piece of headgear thus far that is not purely cosmetic - even things like Scale Helmets provide no stats.
Wood Elf : what makes you think the distant advantage is so much better than what other races offer?
Dwarves : they still receive a MIG +2 bonus, which makes it possible to raise MIG to a higher base value when creating the character. Don't hope for many other races to be able to reach similar MIG values as dwarves or aumaua.
Aumaua : why the comment on guns? Aumaua are about much more than guns or fire arms. Coastal Aumaua's bonus on defense against Prone/Stunned is worthwhile, although later one can find items with such a bonus. Island Aumaua's extra weapon set can be very helpful for melee weapons, too. Afterall, there are various enemies with immunities. And Aumaua get a MIG +2 bonus like dwarves.
Orlans : I disagree. They are not "more universal", but only cover a few roles.
As expected, you've not seen enough of the game yet. --> http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Headgear
The Amaua are a great example how one race gets something awesome (Coastal) while another get garbage (Island), too. Literally everything you'll find on the race calls it garbage unless you wanna make a gunslinger build. Coastal is just the superior (sub) race.
Why do you call it garbage? Make yourself clear with less brevity. For other races it's an extra talent you would need to learn (--> Arms Bearer).
You're reading too many crap guides then.
I find 3 weapon slots on my Island Aumaua Barbarian very useful. It lets you switch between range and two melee weapon sets. You can go twoo hander and sword and shield or I take two hander and reach two hander. In high end tactical combta that is money.
Plus it takes a talent slot to emulate, while the prone bonus of Coastal can be done by any number of items/spells in the game.
The first accessible piece of headgear that comes with a stat boost is found in Gilded Vale (i.e. the FIRST location - other than random forests - you have access to), so if you haven't found it, you're just not looking hard enough. Not the game's fault.
Maybe based on your play-style, it's crap, but that doesn't make it useless for other people. Like avaririot said, some people use those extra weapons slots like pros. If you don't, that's just not part of your strategy. It doesn't mean the bonus is worse, just not for you. Every time you post on this game you complain about things that don't work for YOU, but the way you play games is not the only way to play games. You need to realize the difference between an opinion and an actual problem.
The class imbalance is far worse(speaking from a POTD perspective - it really doesn't matter what the hell you do in Hard mode on down).
That's what modding is for, especially for single player games. If you want be a farmer, you shouldn't be magically entitled to the ability to to be a fishermen, you should earn that ability over a time and have a harder time than someone who is classified as a fisherman.
In this case, you have a choice of who you want to be. Do you want to be a person who has to struggle and work hard to be a good fighter, or do you want to be someone with natural talents. This is how it is in real life. Athletes like Bow Jackson are naturally built to be "god-mode" in sports, while most athletes have to work hard and strive for it and many will never reach that level while others might. In this case, you get to choose.
