Yeah, or Escape from New York!

AMIRITE!?

Who cares...
Hmm maybe the devs dont know the answer to it themselves yet. Like the writers of Lost. "Lets make a supermysterious island" - "But what is the answer to everything?" - "Dunno but we will come up with something random at the end" :P

Skill gems are not Virtue gems.

The Virtue gems being what created the Undying, Gemlings, Merviel, the bane gem, etc.
Merviel didn't get a skill gem implanted to her to make her a monster, she simply carried a Virtue gem around her neck.

Are they similar? probably.
To continue with the FF7 references...

I'm pretty sure the skill gems are just droplets of the lifestream, concentrated and crystalized.

Good call... I didn't remember or make the distinction between skill gems and Virtue gems.

Also, I find the FF7 jokes hilarious.

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
I think there was another "mad scientist" besides Piety, that Maligaro guy I've been hearing quite often from NPCs.

Yup, Maligaro is an ancient "mad scientist" kind of guy. Fidelitas was his assistant/lover. Shavronne was his apprentice.

I like this thread. AiSard, in particular, has a firm grasp on what's happening.



If Shavronne was Maligaro's apprentice, then who was Doedre?

Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: where shotgunning is not only not nerfed, it is deeply encouraged.

Dogma > Souls, but they're masterworks all. You can't go wrong.

I was right about PoE2 needing to be a separate, new game. It was really obvious.
