"Funny" thing about this system
its heavily stolen "inspired" by 4 edition D&D
4e D&D combat is considered bad and a lot of people despise it...
so of course they felt inspired and decided they had to have it
Well that explains a lot cause 4E is hot garbage. Of course 5E isn't much better but people are going nuts for it for some reason.

Because you have to, or just play a complete game like 3.5E or Pathfinder 1E instead of Hasbro's latest cash grab.

I've never understood why Hethia isn't an impregnable option. By the time you get to the Winter Palace she's basically screaming she's down for whatever if its you. I wonder why....It almost writes itself if you think about it. X character redeems herself on this dick. Classic stuff

So, I heard this game can't be modded to add new events or turned into a whole new game like Xianxia mod?
Is it because of the spaghetti code or is it something else?

It's been ages, just go Kitsune and look for a shrine attendant in the deep woods, she sells gear that you might be interested in. As for weapons, I think the Harpy Queen's staff has the strongest spell power, but I personally like using the spell blade from Dominika. It's easier to get, but it's slightly weaker. Don't forget to pick up some of the enchanter perks, so you don't burn turns buffing, and the perk that changes Might to buff Intellect instead of strength.

Ive tried looking on the fandom and went through every perk list in the game, nothing mentions might or even how to get might on the wiki it doesnt say anything about how to aquire it either -.-

You get might by reading the black book once you pass an intelligence check and learn a few other spells in the book. The easiest way in Xainxia is by buying it from the wondering trader named Giacomo, where you can find him in the explore option. Otherwise, some enemies drop spell books, or you could try your luck on the tower in Tel'Adre.

4e wasn't even that bad but the abomination that the ability setup in this game is garbage, you get too few to make combat interesting and fun interactions stop at grease+fire

IMO the skill card system is one of if not the weakest system in the game. It was just a bad idea from the start.
I'm willing to eat a lot of crap, but still imo it's ok-ish. Two particularly dumb things to me though is that they repeatedly promised party "tactics" for some time, kind of stuff that's been in various games, like for example having a menu for Cait where you can prioritize her auto actions, ie priority 1, revive fallen ally, 2 heal ally below 75% hp, 3 aoe. Like scripts in dnd games. Then they shifted to saying companions would get kits, "just play full manual every fight lmao" and pushed tactics under the rug.

Therefore, the auto party can be very dumb. It's particularly egregious when doing stuff like sparring a high level azyrran, she auto ults after like 50% hp every time, generally acts smarter, makes her a lot better. It'd be nice if at minimum there were options like that for the party, particularly when the game was originally built for only PC manual control, and there's so many rest options "wasted" ults would be incredibly minimal compared to not using them at all. for people that just want ero stuff and/or play auto battler, that makes their experience worse.

Then, for people that like trying to min max or take it seriously a bit, as was mentioned, they chose like the most universally poorly received core dnd system. Also, been a while since I saw the post a dev made mentioning it, but long story short, the other flaw with their gameplay system is bosses can never be particularly complex, or have like changing behavior patterns in the same fight, which is probably what leads to the Mexican standoff fights damage wise, and weird fight interruptions like in Alissa's second fight. Haven't checked in game but I'd guess that'd probably be a clever way of replacing them with a duplicate, but with changed abilities to mimic a new phase.

It's dumb though because it either makes enemies that should be a minor concernTM, like lovecraft monster, very reasonably one shot, or like with Alissa, will randomly start a cutscene, completely destroy your rotation and can cause a victory to become a loss. Imo could probably do with another durability update, all ally/enemy damage being reduced. Random ally one shots are more annoying than enemies being spongy, and some enemies do need to be spongier. (Except for gweyr/kinu fights those can be stoopidly boring and annoying) It'd be nice to have some reasonably long, resource draining fights, maybe with more money to compensate. Then again, think they've said there'll be no superboss-y fights with stuff like the gods.

It's really annoying how, on every level, there's no "every hole/horse weiner's a goal" freedom, there's restricted power levels, and far too many characters need a kick in the head but PC is gaslit or unable to do so. You can't bang x *because*, y is constantly a prick to PC but *muh culture*, you will never be able to be on the same level as an augmented human paladin (??) bish whur. Step one needed to be making sure players had at least some reason to not commonly want a Berserk Eclipse, but apparently they thought perma cripple Griffith would make for a great mc

Dont you find its weird that random shmuck (player) knows how/able to seduce/tease enemies up to the boiling point? Ok, if its charmer class than its kinda have some sense, but for barbarian warrior or white mage aristocrat thats just dumb.
Cait is the only character that should be able to do it 'out of the box' SUPER EFFECTIVE since shes, you know, professional slut. All other characters, excluding demons and cultists probably, shouldnt be able to do it, at least as effective as it is currently.

This boils down to "it's a porn game". I agree with you, everyone just whipping out their junk and fapping magic lust at each other is stupid. It makes sense for two characters and that's pretty much it.

Grease+Fireball (PC)+other AOE attacks from party members (kudos if more fire) does wonders for the annoyingly repetitive fights that seem to come up whenever you take two steps and hit explore when trying to find THE DAMN WITCH IN THE DAMN FOREST THAT IS SOMEHOW STILL ANNOYING BECAUSE 1 ASSHAT DECIDED TO PUT A DAMN STUPID JACKASS WITH DICK ISSUES THAT WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU PICK AN OPTION TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE HIM, ON TOP OF PLANT GIRLS THAT STILL DO NOT HAVE AN OPTION TO ONLY APPEAR IN THE CRUSTY ASS CASTLE YOU ARE 'GIVEN'!
