@OBserver: You going to like the next update then and thank you. ^^
OBserver 24 Jun, 2023 @ 6:09pm 
Love these animation updates, nice job! :steamthumbsup:
Exaelus  [author] 24 Jun, 2023 @ 7:18am 
@OBserver: Yes. ^^
OBserver 23 Jun, 2023 @ 6:54pm 
Hi Exaelus! I noticed that each other class got a recent update. Do you have anything similar planned for the Prodigy? Thanks!:steamthumbsup:
ImTheLichBruh 5 Jun, 2023 @ 11:06pm 
I mean, they are awesome mechanics wise. Im talking more about the art style and visuals. Theres something lacking about them
Exaelus  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 4:04am 
@ImTheLichBruh: Damn, that's unfortunate, I did a lot of work on all the others including the Arduous Edition which I just added a bunch of new set trinkets for every class, oh well, I can't expect people to like them all, I tried to do something different with every class so they aren't copies of existing ones idk, but hey on the bright side, at least you like Prodigy and I'm glad you do. ^^

This is the only mod from Exaelus that I like ngl
NordicHorde 4 Dec, 2022 @ 5:23am 
That would be the Shadow Walker.

I thought this was a mod to bring in Scorpion from Mortal Kombat lol
NordicHorde 21 Nov, 2022 @ 7:09am 
As a lover of Jade Empire, I can safely say mission accomplished.

A simply amazing dancer+marker. Never awkward , always versatile , always fun to use. 10\10

I just want to say that i didn't properly check his qwirk when i got him and send him in a dungeon, turns out, having "Buff disabler" = (can't use skills that buffs) make him a paperweight, he litteraly couldn't do a thing the whole dungeon, apart from "move". So that was funny.
Exaelus  [author] 26 Jan, 2022 @ 9:41am 
@Fiki Ripfiend: Glad you like him! I had a lot of fun making this one. ^^
Fiki Ripfiend 26 Jan, 2022 @ 8:27am 
There are not many things as satisfying as seeing this guy flying all the way from the backrow to the frontrow in order to punch some sod square across his face. His abilities might be a bit wordy for my taste but he is certainly fun to use, puts some serious numbers on the screen and his animations are very well made. I will gladly use him in my future runs :)
imfrank 27 Nov, 2020 @ 7:13pm 
can you make a version with eyes?
Exaelus  [author] 3 Apr, 2020 @ 3:34am 
@NikiGotUrSpine: Thanks dude, yeah I put a bunch of work into this guy. He was a blast to work on. ^^
OpalGotMyHeart 3 Apr, 2020 @ 3:34am 
Im going to be honest, ive slept on your mods for a long time, kind of overlooked them admittedly, and I hate to admit it but this mod was probably the reason why. I just glanced and assumed this was some kind of Scorpion MK mod and I moved on....Im sorry for doing that. Your mods are fantastic and I regret not giving them a chance sooner. Please keep up the fantastic work.
Exaelus  [author] 8 Mar, 2020 @ 5:59am 
@无色: You are very welcome! ^^
汤圆强袭虫 7 Mar, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
oh, i may make a mistake. All in all, I appreciate your advice very much.<3
Exaelus  [author] 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:45am 
@无色: This mod is only the class mod, I'm guessing we are talking about "Arduous Edition". Each phase plays out differently. First phase you attack him no problem, second phase you have to kill adds to kill him and third phase you need to attack the correct one out of the 4. He is not that resilient and I have beaten him multiple times, also I hope you are playing on "Darkest" difficulty that's what it was balanced around.
汤圆强袭虫 6 Mar, 2020 @ 7:57pm 
this mod's boss is too difficult to defeat. i have lost three level 4 heroes to fight this level 2 boss, and i still fail. He's too resistant. And he also has a high defense and dodge rating. This drive me crazy. can anyone give me any advice?
Exaelus  [author] 17 Feb, 2020 @ 1:28am 
@Trumie: Strange, seems like you might have an issue with the download, try to unsubscribe and resubscribe and if that doesn't work, unsubscribe, go in the following folder:

"Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\262060" and delete folder "924245318"

Once you have done that resubscribe and it should be working.
Trumie 16 Feb, 2020 @ 7:48pm 
Spirit Shift doesn't seem to do anything when i press it, is there a known fix for this?
CharterOak 7 Jan, 2020 @ 12:50pm 
I and seriously enjoying this character. Thank you. :)
tstiffanystarrxxx69 21 Sep, 2019 @ 1:16am 
Oh no I wasn't implying that you purposefully made it so only male characters would be affected in that way, I was just curious why it was written that way and there were only two options. Glad to know :-D
Exaelus  [author] 12 Sep, 2019 @ 6:09pm 
@tstiffanystarrxxx69: Well the code in the game is .monsterType "man" so I wrote it like it's written within the game. If the code said human I would write human. Didn't really pay much attention to it. You are the very first person to say anything about it, if you think it's "disgustingly heteronormative" it wasn't intentional but coincidental.
tstiffanystarrxxx69 12 Sep, 2019 @ 2:52pm 
by "does more damage to men" do you mean human? Because if not that's disgustingly heteronormative of you.
Exaelus  [author] 13 Jul, 2019 @ 3:03am 
@MrBorys: Happy to hear that. Enjoy!
@bort: That's great news! Yeah, Prodigy is fun and was also fun to make, thank you.
Steryd 12 Jul, 2019 @ 11:43am 
Now it's miine favourite mod and class. :cozybethesda:
I LOVE You man ! <3 <3 <3
Please make Lin-Kuei class mod or Sub-Zero boss :health:
bort 8 May, 2019 @ 1:10pm 
Edit: Problem solved. It was an issue with The witcher´s trinkets. Crossed names bug but randomly fixred. Great job with The prodigy btw.
bort 8 May, 2019 @ 3:15am 
Hi, I can´t put his class trinkets on him, for some reason they stay unlighted. Is this a bug or something I can fix by myself?
Nightshade 2 May, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
Where did you get your inspiration for this character? I remember seeing a character of similar design in a Nickelodeon movie from a long time ago.
Exaelus  [author] 28 Apr, 2019 @ 2:13pm 
@neIVIesis: Well, due to health issues all my modding is on hold. If something changes I will keep it in mind.
neIVIesis 27 Apr, 2019 @ 6:21pm 
That's impressive work. I have some constructive criticism, and also a way to help if you're interested.
I really like your classes and character designs, my only neat pick is the way you drew them. Instead of using inking hand brushes giving it the calligraphic feel drawings have in the game, I think you did a posterize effect in your character visuals. I think this works for the Enigma, but the rest of your classes would benefit from a more hand made approach.

I have never modded for this game, but I can create 2D assets, and would like to challenge myself to replicate the look and feel of the game. If you want, I could redraw your characters in this way, so you can either update if you want, or use them as skins. I can only do the 2D art, I have no idea how to rig or animate.

If you're interested we can chat in private.

Exaelus  [author] 27 Apr, 2019 @ 6:07pm 
@neIVIesis: For the most part, I did reuse the walking, idle and combat animations from existing classes, because I never made enough donations to buy the animation software. For visual effects of abilities on other classes I reused the existing ones from the game and I changed them heavily.
neIVIesis 27 Apr, 2019 @ 5:52pm 
@Exaelus Did you draw, rig, and animated each of your classes yourself?
Enlonwhite 31 Jan, 2019 @ 2:27pm 
Very Satisfying class to use, a little on the longer turn time usage, to change mods, but very fulfilling to use class.
Also I see why you had to nerf the Divine Haymaker skill usable in POS 4,
I could see myself abusing that all day if you didnt.

his trinkets are definitly a little on the.....strong side but then again, I am against trinkets having negatives unless its a powerful item or effect that completely can change a play style of the class. So I dont mind it all that much.

Had to leave a positive comment to your class here.
Exaelus  [author] 21 Jan, 2019 @ 6:57am 
@Enlonwhite: I love prodigy as well. Yeah he is a pretty solid and satisfying class to use. ^^
Enlonwhite 21 Jan, 2019 @ 6:54am 
Watched the video about this class, cleared up alot of confusion.....but really dam this class is solid. I couldnt find anything unfair, either for op or not.

Very GREAT class idea, I couldnt hit sub fast enough once i got excited.
Wanted to do a suffle team, but only a All cursaders team seem to fit in Vanilla, but now, this guy makes it all seem a dream come true, and he doesnt seem overly strong.

Thanks for this class!
Exaelus  [author] 13 Dec, 2018 @ 8:26am 
@IamGood: Yeah his trinkets make him very strong, but again you need to get that set. I couldn't find that set for quite a while, once I did it helped quite a bit. Takes time though.
IamGood 13 Dec, 2018 @ 1:11am 
-3% crit for very rare with all dmg?)
totally not OP :)
Exaelus  [author] 12 Dec, 2018 @ 5:07am 
@IamGood: It's not OP. If you get his good items and good quirks, he is quite powerful though, I've lost a bunch of them.
IamGood 12 Dec, 2018 @ 12:24am 
too much OP
Exaelus  [author] 29 Sep, 2018 @ 1:14pm 
@DonoftheShade: Sorry, had to be done, was insanely OP, haymaker spam was unreal.
DonoftheShade 29 Sep, 2018 @ 10:36am 
Love the mod, only issue is the one prodigy cap but it is understandable, main reason it annoyed me was due to the fact it ruined my two prodigy vestal and houndmaster combo.
Exaelus  [author] 15 Sep, 2018 @ 1:13am 
@skaarjay: No, your game must have a lot of mods or has bugged out, try to verify your game files or something. Prodigy should be upgradable like every other class. Glad you like him. ^^
Exaelus  [author] 5 Sep, 2018 @ 10:45am 
@Guido Mista: That is completely normal, in defensive you lose dmg in offensive you regain damage. Only when the quest starts you don't have this issue, after one combat you will see it.
Каминаградец 5 Sep, 2018 @ 8:19am 
Is it bug that if i end the fight in offencive stance i get premanently debuffed for -dmg and crt?
i guess it's in case of the transfomation after fight
cccbbbaaa2008 25 Jul, 2018 @ 2:38am 
Well i don't really know but i can go into dungeon perfectly now without the scourge mod. After i go back to main menu and install it,it just crash when i try to go into a dungeon
