Fane

[negru08]

I wanna play as Fane cuase of his backstory and just over coolness to his character but I HATE the mask he wears. I get it . He needs it for face chanig so others do freak out but I like the cool skeleton look.

Is there a way to hide it or something. If not guess I will have to make a new main character :/

Wear ANY helmet. Select the little tickbox on your inventory screen for the helmet.
This will hide your helmet.
This has no downside in terms of NPC's seeing your face and freaking out.

You absolutely do not need that hideous mask to not freak the townsfolk out.
You don't need to be transformed. You simply need to have a piece of equipment in every armor slot.
If your helm, chest, gloves, legs, boots are un-equipt you will freak people out.
If you hide your helm, the NPC's still view you as wearing a helm.

The only time I use that godwoken aweful helmet is to turn into an elf to eat bodyparts, then immediately change back to a regular non f'd up looking one.

Where does it tell you all this? I played DOSEE and the tool tips and stuff were enough to get me to understand the mechanics of the game. I am really stuggling to understand all the new mechanics in this one and new stuff like the undead. I am also playing with a controller which honestly it doesnt seem built for as well as the first one was.

Also is Fane still voiced during moments or only if he is in the party, not the main character.

I believe when you create an undead it tells you that it is harder, heals will deal damage, poison will heal, and citizens will freak out if they see your boney awesomeness.
Fanes quotes also tell you this. Things like "I shouldn't let them see me for what I really am" or something like that when you first get off the boat and reach fortjoy.
Just basically, make sure his "skin" isn't showing.


Big difference between the two games, is the armor.
No more armor based saving throws (up to chance to stun etc... there is a mod, if you prefer that).
It is, if your physical armor is gone you are succeptible to physical status'... Knockdown, decay, atrophy.
If your magic armor is gone you are succeptible to stuns, freeze, burns, poison, petrify
No more RNG for status' like in the original.

For the undead...
In order to heal, you need poison. Geomancy provides spells that will heal fane, necromancy spells (blood sucker) will also heal fane, as will the default heal on the necromancy skill.

ALL "normal" healing will damage Fane.
That is all water spells that heal. That is firstaid. That is health potions. That is non-poisoned food.
Do not ever use the summoner heal on your undead characters. They will get wrecked.
Same with chyrogenic stasis.
Beware when standing on poison to heal your undead, as poison puddles are highly flamable. You can also spend AP just walking in a circle on the same puddle to heal a very decent amount per AP, especially if you spec into scoundrel.

Decaying, I don't know why undead can be effected by it... But, it will make poison deal damage to you rather than heal.


Best tips for playing undead...
PICK UP AN OOZE BARREL.
You can combine it with empty potion bottles for infinite poison potions (same as regular potion, but also gives a heal over time). If/when you find "Zaikks Talon" do not sell it. Combine Zaikks Talon with ANY regular healing potion or food and it will poison it for you.


P.s. I tried with a controller once upon a time. I wouldn't recommend it.

I play Fane and any old helm has concealed his skeletalness.

I knew it would be harder but I didnt think the mask would be so big and ugly. I just want aware that I could trick people into thinking im not undead with just simple armor. But for now I just rerolled a human archer cause I just dont see Fane being great as an archer.

In the helmet slot there's a tick box which toggels the visibility of it.

It makes no difference. They are both "human" and have the same +inititive passive.
All you get different between the two is a lack of fanes Timewarp skill (OP as f) and instead have ifans summon or magic dome on a custom human.

The times race makes a dramatic difference, is if you plan to be a geo mage, then undead is amazing, and if you chose elf (their sacrifice flesh is hella strong for every single build)

[wigpeeler]

I don't get the point of the face ripper device. You can hear the Mask thingie and chose any race without having used the face ripper, so does using the face ripper on a corpse let you chose that race and not wear a helm? But then you have the Mask on already...?

Cant find the option to hide helmet. I am using controller.

If you open your inventory screen, it is a small box on the bottom right of the helmet slot.
You may need to use the mouse to hide it though.

[negru08]

Mouse doesnt work when using controller. And it seems if you are using controller you cant not see those options. Another thing that makes this game feel buggy. DOSEE was much better built for controller also. IT just feels like controller was thrown on after the fact.

[Zunnoab #931]

Are there any other options lost with the controller?

That is my first legitimately serious complaint then. The Square/X button should allow you to hide it with a controller, in the menu that comes up.

I'm actually using a controller since I saw some recommend it. I haven't had any complaints until now. If I come across a helmet I hate I'll load temporarily with a mouse/keyboard.

It's also odd the only option is to go to the title screen if the controller isn't connected.

[negru08]

The first one never had this problem. But it wasnt locked to a control type. I am able to play with controller and use my mouse at the same time for selling stuff or equiping (Since its way faster with mouse), but in this game its locked to one or the other it seems. Real bummner :(

I had to exit the game. Turn off controller, launch with mouse, unceck the option, save and then exit again and load with controller running.
