I've asked a question about how to build my character (and maybe made another thread or two to accompany it) somewhere between 2016-2019, but I can't find it.

I searched the first 14 pages, which goes up to August 2015, and used CTRL+F to look for my name since I don't remember the thread's title. But nothing comes up, and this is even more puzzling as I'm pretty sure I had another separate thread or two at that time as well.

Does anyone have some kind of a useful search feature or knows whether there have been deleted threads?

It was a thread asking about how to build my character and if it's viable if I want a fighter mage who's good at talking (diplomacy, persuasion) and some other gameplay questions, primarily what stats should I have at char creation and which ones can I safely dump.

Edit: So it turns out it was the thread I had favourited, but due to its name I assumed it was one of the other thraeds I made and not this one, but upon reading I realized it was this one but I asked the character buildng questions later.

Problem solved! :)

Thanks for the answer! Yes, it does by default (only questions though), although it depends on your settings - none/only questions/all topics you make.

I've seen the news about the latest patch but I think I'd prefer to play a more vanilla experience, just with the bugfixes at first.

That's fair. Good luck, and have fun.
