Like in TiTs and CoC the gym helped build up the MCs stats.. CoC2 could put that in.
Seeing how this game doesn't use a scale of 100 and very specifically doesn't want you to be able to max out all your stats at once (which is why you get three points per level and six stats to spend them on, and it used to be that you wouldn't necessarily get access to all of them) I think the odds of the devs adding a way to permanently raise all your stats to the cap can be measured with the same thermometer used to see whether hell has frozen over.

Behold, the result of someone modding the game to have permanent stat boosters and raising the lvl to 20 and why that's a bad idea.

Its like DnD, there is no fucking reason to go above tenth level in campaigns. Because the absurdity people can pull.

The game is balanced around the party's expected level, if you're having trouble anywhere other than the Undermountain at max level the solution is to Git Gud.
The actual solution is to turn the difficulty down to whatever you're comfortable with. If you want the feeling of unstoppable power in combat, Story Mode exists for that exact reason. If you want more challenge than baseline, turn it up to Dark Mode. These options exist for a reason. :p

I mean there is a logical argument to be made when it comes to cursed artefacts that change your gender that it is also rewriting your brain, especially when the specific purpose of this golden armour was to change overly dominant males into much more docile females by the tribe that used it.
Suppose there's the fact as well that the very first thing you can do after Brint goes through the transformation is roughly push yourself upon her

Personally not like I think too heavily on it myself, its a porn game so the whole thing is just a contrivance to get a sexy minotaur girl on the team and Brienne is still a warrior after the change.
Though also one that is pretty obsessed with being bred...

This is the nittiest of picks, but I wish silly mode were a bit....modular

I want the pop culture references and a couple of the fourth wall breaks, but I don't want my currency to just be called "fur gold" for example.

I've hosted and been part of several campaigns that have gone to level 17-20. It's all based on what you find fun, I think the low level stuff is quite boring personally, but that is just me.
Yeah, I'm the exact opposite. I can't stand D&D past level 10.

Really, at least in 3/5E, it start losing its fun pretty quickly past level 5.

You probably would have hated the campaign I ran up to level 38 in 3.5 than lol.

10th level is where the absurdity is at least somewhat grounded, and 10 levels is good enough for this game.

I can't speak for others, but for me personally I don't like grounded stuff in a fantasy game. I love the magic and over the top stuff that comes with becoming incredibly powerful. If this game stops at 10 awesome, but if it went higher level than that even better imo at least.

I'm have trouble getting invested in Cait because it feels like she left the temple and chased after her sister cause 'she had to for the story'. Was her goal simply to bring her sister back to the temple to live with her despite it clearly being a life Calla despised or did Calla actually leaving make Cait think "Oh shit, maybe I'm missing out on something more in life"?
You have done all of Cait's conversations, right? Because she answers this right at the start of the game if you ask her about her family. Calla wanted adventure and to see new horizons, Cait was happy at the Temple but wanted to be with her father and Calla more so after agonizing over the decision for a while she left to join them, but not before getting her brand because she hadn't made up her mind by that point. The three of them were traveling together for a year or two before the start of the game so there was absolutely no 'I must bring Calla back to the Temple' about it, Cait wanted to see the world too and she wanted to do it with them. She mentions that her mother even encouraged her in this.

There's followup to this once you complete Cat Call and can talk to her, to Barney and to Sally. While there's plenty of room for further writing, two branching paths for her and a few teases to future story content for her, Cait's motivations for being in the Marches in the first place are pretty established at this point.

I haven't played in awhile and was trying to pull from memory, maybe I just didn't find her interesting and that was the problem with remembering her story. Or I'm just fucking stupid. Either way thank you for humoring me, disregard my stupidity.

I didn't want to give the impression that I dislike Cait because I actually don't, my feelings for her as a character are just neutral. Their story (as I remember it) just didn't get me particularly invested in the sisters. Regardless, I need to replay with the combat balance update maybe revisiting their story for a second time will be different. My apologies, I shouldn't have posted in the first place.

A minor thing I wish this game had - a tomboy salamander waifu

Helia from CoC1 was my absolute fav and she even got a full story dungeon and romance arc

I do adore the companions already in 2, but.... c'mon now.

Tomboy salamander.

Considering Helia is Savin's creation and we'll eventually get to Tychris - A new tomboy salamander waifu probably in the cards. In fact if you follow Moira on twitter she's already created several pieces of art for some frost manders for the game.

Pretty sure its also the Perma TF(god TF) Savin is doing, so you can become the tomboy Salamander.

Kythie. She's waiting for Tychris to be written/implemented but Savin has literally described her as 'bluemander upcoming tomboy wife' and it sounds like we'll be seeing her early-ish next year.

He's also described her mother as the 'MILF tomboy'.

CoC 2 needs a level expansion very, very soon. I am actually surprised they didn't include one in the update.

You are pretty much guaranteed to be level 6 when you finish Winter City, and even excusing use of Razorcup nector there is a good chance you will have maxed XP by the time you finish it. There is a huge amount of content that you see while levelcapped at 6, and a lot of it is extremely challenging due to being stuck at 6 and unable to advance, such as all of Winter Wolf.

Level 6 just doesn't cut it anymore for how far along the story has come so far. I know that level 10 is final-total-for-real endgame but I feel like we should have hit level 7 somewhere in Khorminos, or even level 8 if we did Winter Wolf and all the Kitsune den stuff too.

After reading in this thread and seeing the other guy I want to clarify that I am not griping about the existence of a level cap, I just feel like the storyline has moved beyond the current level cap. With the way things are going, by the time they DO introduce more levels characters will naturally reach level 7 or even 8 while still in areas balanced for level 6 gameplay.
