Berath Blessings?
The points you get for acheivments? Is this used for anything yet? I tried to start a new game with a few and seen nothing.. or is this for later on? Or is this only on the GOG versions of the game? (cheaper in my country than steam) Anyone know?


p.s. New drivers dropped today, fixed the crashing issues.

the blessing make the game a little easier for new playthroughs, and each cost different amounts of points. (ex 12 points for unlocking the whole map, 4 points for a special vendor with rare goods, 5 points for 3k gold extra.

I picked the points (next to the trial of iron and the other mode), but i never got any sort of pop up or notification on how to use them? could it be a bug? Or do i need to do it somewhere else?
if the button is glowing when you started the game, it means they're active, you don't get a pop up or anything it's just persistent bonuses. As for the vendor, he's in the marketplace at the first port.

I read they are used to add new things to your second playthrough or new playthrough, but i never got any sort of chance to use them about 3 hours into my new game.

Quick question: If I spend some of these points in my second playthrough, are they gone for the third playthrough? Right now I have 3 achivement points to spend. So if I spend them all, don't get any other achivements and start over, will I still have 3 points to spend?

You keep the points

Ok new to the game and never played first one. Currently I don't see a line item for Beraths Blessings on the screen I saw it in a youTuibe video.

SO does this means I don't have access to this feature? If not, that's kind of messed up. But will have to deal with it. Is there a mod to make this active?

thanks

If I remember correctly, you don't have access to it with the first character you create. It's tied to achievements, so you couldn't use it anyway.

If you've already started playing with that first character you could check by starting a new game (it's the second screen, so will be quick to check and then back out).

Correct :steamthumbsup:
it´s a "new game+ feature" and only really useful once you made it through midgame (~70% of Story). At that point, you should start again as you will always have enough points now for any new Main Char (aka Playthrough savefile) you create :cosmopig:
Some perks are strongly recommended for PotD and DLCs -- mostly because many builds underperform (without best equipment, strong class-combos, consumables, etc).
