Saving during quest reward dialog forfeits reward

#1 Post by Fela »

Today i wanted to check out what a category offered in an escort reward actually does. So i checked if the game can be saved during the dialog - worst thing i could see happen was that it can't.

Unfortunately, the game can be saved but the loaded game starts right after the dialog, i.e. alchemist gone, dialog gone, reward gone.

Possible solution: bring up the reward dialog first and THEN remove the escort? So in case of a load game he would still be there, would simply do his last step again and bring up the dialog.

Is it intended that when you choose to learn a category from escort quests that the category isn't learned? (meaning I have to use a category point on it to open it up) I would say that since it says something along the lines of 'learn' that I wouldn't need to invest the initial point.

hmmm how about this:

if you do not know of the talent type, then he will teach you about the talent type (make it gray, 0.7) (same as it is now)
if you know of a talent type (ie, it is gray) then he will make you know the talent type (make it green, same level of mastery)
if you know the talent type (ie, it is green), but it is < 1 mastery then he will increase the mastery of the talent type (by 0.05 to 0.1?)
otherwise it is not shown.

It seems silly to me that your "reward" can't be enjoyed until you gain up to 9 levels. Would be nice if it started out activated (though you'd still need to invest generic talent points to be able to use the abilities), or if you already have it then you get +0.1 mastery (same as investing a category point).

Seems a bit strong to me compared to the other rewards, though.

At 0.7 mastery? Only in rare cases would I want an extra talent category like that - I'm usually starved enough on generic talent points.

Some of the rewards also seem mostly useless.

Today i found out that the loremaster's mind sear uses equilibrium - not such a great talent then, considering it cannot be regained regularly.

Also stone alchemy seems useful for some classes, but i'm not sure if extract gems also provides a create alchemist gems command? Has anyone checked that out yet?
