It's been a busy week for me. All of it good. Dispatch had it's finale. I don't know what to tell you but I loved it. It's not deep, what is nowadays, but it's hella fun and full of charm and loveable scamps. I want more. I also finished the Passenger. Interactive Fiction from the Hosted Games label of Choice of Games. It's longer than most of their titles are and a really interesting take on cosmic horror. Though not exactly scary. And Rue Valley. It's not Disco Elysium. It's not even actually an RPG though it pretends at it. Your stat choices end up being almost entirely for flavor. But it's a good story that I recommend.

Yeah, I feel there could be more done with choice and consequence gameplay wise, and there is definitely some smoke and mirrors going on when it comes to story and Alters. Two mandatory alters get easily the most narrative stuff, and out of other optional one one opened some major story opportunities and others seemed rather modest in content. Looking back at potential story choices and their outcomes there seem to be mostly better and worse options - which I think would be far less compelling on 2nd playthrough.

it's highly unlikely there will be more trials related to epstein, and that woulda' been the situation even if the doj were not complete compromised. the sex trafficking and assault cases against epstein and ghislaine maxwell were the strongest options for the government. epstein died in jail and so did his case. what most people don't realize is that right up until ghislaine were found guilty, prosecutors and court observers were not certain they would get a conviction. the events o' the case is more remote now, but even when ghislane were being tried, you had to rely on witness testimony about events many years past, witnesses who were traumatized young women at the time o' the crimes. understandably, the witnesses in the maxwell case were less effective than one might hope. any new case would involve statute o' limitations issues as well as the fact that every single time you prosecuted somebody new, you would need to again put on the stand women with lingering emotional trauma who is needing recollect facts from two decades remote, witnesses who would be subject to brutal cross exam over and over and over again. the feds won a conviction o' ghislane maxwell, and afterwards the prosecutors no doubt shared a collective sigh o' relief. no new case based on temporal remote release o' "epstein files" is gonna be stronger than what the doj managed to put together in their pursuit o' a ghislaine maxwell conviction, and the conviction o' ghislane maxwell were more o' a crapshoot than the doj ordinarily undertakes. an ethical doj motivated to put wrongdoers behind bars would be highly reluctant to pursue additional charges which had low chances o' conviction but a near guarantee o' further traumatizing victim witnesses. is the reason(s) why the biden doj did not pursue further indictments. HA! Good Fun! ps while ghislaine maxwell were being investigated and prosecuted, the doj and wh were effective precluded from releasing, "the files." after the conviction, when it became obvious no further prosecutions would be pursued, doj policy precluded release. is privacy laws at issue, but more relevant is the fact the doj has a standing policy against releasing investigation materials where the reputation o' individuals who they has chosen not to pursue charges could be damaged, individuals who got no day in court to defend themselves.

ok devs if you read this please post a legit time table for the new game plus update cause it is halfway through november and there has yet to be a single notice on it and for the other lovers of avowed i have a question for you if obsidian made dlc for avowed what parts of the island map would you suggest for new areas or ideas for content that could inspire some creativity for them?

Disgusting how radical left Commie NAzis like Margaery Tyrell Greene have been insinuating Drump is a paedophile. Drumpf is not a paedophile! He would never touch anything female below the age of 12.

For those SW geeks out there, this might be somewhat entertaining: "Learning Mando'a for Dummies"

My initial thought was that a full release might hamper any cases brought to trial. But with DJT in charge, any such trials will likely be for purely political purposes; only producing evidence that harms his opposition. A full release at this point may be the only fair outcome. Let the (creepy) chips fall where they may.

Blue Origin pulls off the booster landing technique.

It's November 15th, where's the update?

I'm having the same issue around that area also. It started in the training grounds yesterday. I have played 12 hours without issue then this. I have tried updating graphics drivers, deleted shader cache and then just a full reinstall and nothing helped. Amd 7950x Nvidia 3800 Windows 11

No, that's only the second option I described with Force of Anguish. That one is def. about disabling. But the first one with Torment's Reach is one of the best melee damage dealers in the game. Torment's Reach is devastating against singular foes (the one for you target) because it has a 50% crushing lash (lashes are multiplicative damage bonuses, mich more potent than a 50% additive bonus such as Sneak Attack) AND it damages the enemies behind the initial one in a cone. It's also a Full Attack, meaning it gets executed with both weapons, one after the other. The cone procs twice then, too. Combine the lash of Torment's Reach with more lashes (Turning Wheel, Lightning Strikes, elemental lash in both weapons) and some additive damage bonuses (Might, weapon quality, Savage Attack, Apprentice's Sneak Attack for example) and you have one the most damaging, repeatable single target weapon attacks in the game. And on top it also wrecks more enemies in a cone. I like to use high INT because then it is way easier to catch additional enemies in the cone. That way I get most out of the 1 wound I spend. --- You can also build a strong ranged damage dealer with the Long Pain fists. At some point you will deal the damage of an arquebus per hit - but with very short recovery. --- A third way is to use a Fire Godlike and stack as many lashes that work with the burn retaliation of Fire God likes as you can (Turning Wheel, Blood Testament gloves etc.). It can reach over 100dmg with the lashes every time you get hit (if under 50% endurance). This goes on top of the usual melee damage with Torment's Reach then. I made a build around that idea: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/87846-class-build-monksterlasher-elemental-lashing-retaliating-offensive-tank/

I found you can run past the guards and hide until agro calms down. This will, at least, let you finish most of the missions, like the peace talks. It's easier to do if you don't have companions with you. Also, you have to fast travel to the back end of the ship

Finished The Alters. Took a little longer because I had to backtrack half of Act 2 to change the last Alter I picked. Overall a very interesting game, I was engaged until the end. The dialogue was fine, it had it's moments and not every Alter was as interesting. The big complaints I have are the camera movement and the constant clipping of terrain. Also no clue why they felt the need to sabotage the mod to have all the Alters in one playthrough. I don't think the game has enough to warrant another playthrough. Either way a cool concept and good execution.

this happened to me! Waiting either takes a long time or it glitched. I can’t continue the Now Hiring mission bc they all want to kill me on the ACS. I remember killing that npc bc Inez kept saying something about him when I killed Willard. Now I have to reload a 3 hour old save.

I've been having crashes playing The Outer Worlds 2 via the Xbox PC App on Windows 11, I figured out how to analyze the minidumps and it helped me track down that the crash was happening consistently when loading saves or I think when loading a new area via a loading screen but I haven't been able to test that because I'm still at the start of the game, this lead me to enabling full dump recording for Outer Worlds 2 via the registry and upon running the full dump through WinDbg and using !symfix; .reload and !analyze -v it gives me the following output ******************************************************************************* * * * Exception Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* KEY_VALUES_STRING: 1 Key : Analysis.CPU.mSec Value: 1046 Key : Analysis.Elapsed.mSec Value: 2705 Key : Analysis.IO.Other.Mb Value: 0 Key : Analysis.IO.Read.Mb Value: 1 Key : Analysis.IO.Write.Mb Value: 16 Key : Analysis.Init.CPU.mSec Value: 1546 Key : Analysis.Init.Elapsed.mSec Value: 124616 Key : Analysis.Memory.CommitPeak.Mb Value: 248 Key : Analysis.Version.DbgEng Value: 10.0.29457.1000 Key : Analysis.Version.Description Value: 10.2506.23.01 amd64fre Key : Analysis.Version.Ext Value: 1.2506.23.1 Key : Failure.Bucket Value: APPLICATION_FAULT_8000_TheOuterWorlds2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe!Unknown Key : Failure.Exception.Code Value: 0x8000 Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Address Value: 0x7ffb476e804a Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Module Value: KERNELBASE Key : Failure.Exception.IP.Offset Value: 0xc804a Key : Failure.Hash Value: {827c7445-1d18-8b82-80cd-6522203eb5fc} Key : Failure.ProblemClass.Primary Value: APPLICATION_FAULT Key : Timeline.OS.Boot.DeltaSec Value: 8285 Key : Timeline.Process.Start.DeltaSec Value: 640 Key : WER.OS.Branch Value: ge_release Key : WER.OS.Version Value: 10.0.26100.1 Key : WER.Process.Version Value: 5.4.4.0 FILE_IN_CAB: TheOuterWorlds2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe.25232.dmp NTGLOBALFLAG: 0 APPLICATION_VERIFIER_FLAGS: 0 CONTEXT: (.ecxr) rax=000000e4e9b7f5c0 rbx=000000e4e9b7f6a8 rcx=000000e4e9b7f470 rdx=00007ff7f621efd8 rsi=0000000000000000 rdi=0000000000008000 rip=00007ffb476e804a rsp=000000e4e9b7f4d0 rbp=0000000000000001 r8=0075004200790070 r9=0072006500660066 r10=0069006700650052 r11=002c007d006e006f r12=0000000000000000 r13=0000000000000000 r14=0000000000000000 r15=00000202c872e5c0 iopl=0 nv up ei pl nz na pe nc cs=0033 ss=002b ds=002b es=002b fs=0053 gs=002b efl=00000202 KERNELBASE!RaiseException+0x8a: 00007ffb`476e804a 0f1f440000 nop dword ptr [rax+rax] Resetting default scope EXCEPTION_RECORD: (.exr -1) ExceptionAddress: 00007ffb476e804a (KERNELBASE!RaiseException+0x000000000000008a) ExceptionCode: 00008000 ExceptionFlags: 00000080 NumberParameters: 1 Parameter[0]: 000000e4e9b7f5f0 PROCESS_NAME: TheOuterWorlds2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x8000 - <Unable to get error code text> EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: 8000 EXCEPTION_PARAMETER1: 000000e4e9b7f5f0 STACK_TEXT: 000000e4`e9b7f4d0 00007ff7`f2404d63 : 00000000`00000000 00007ff7`f2f6d188 00007ff7`f6394fc0 00007ff7`ef57f561 : KERNELBASE!RaiseException+0x8a 000000e4`e9b7f5d0 00007ff7`f2f6d188 : 00000000`00000000 000000e4`e9b7f5f0 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!agsCheckDriverVersion+0xceb353 000000e4`e9b7f6a0 00007ff7`f2f6d6f7 : 00000202`c8bf6660 00000202`c8bf6660 00000000`887a0005 00007ff7`f639eeb8 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!src_strerror+0x3a0b04 000000e4`e9b7f7f0 00007ff7`f1d05400 : ffffffff`ffffffff 00000000`00049a11 00000000`00049a10 00000202`bed8ae80 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!src_strerror+0x3a1073 000000e4`e9b7fad0 00007ff7`ef075c9f : 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000202`c2083d40 00000000`00000000 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!agsCheckDriverVersion+0x5eb9f0 000000e4`e9b7fbf0 00007ff7`ef075bab : 00000202`bf22f850 00000000`00000000 00000202`bc74a818 00000202`bf247000 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!ffxPrintMessage+0x35680f 000000e4`e9b7fc40 00007ff7`ef576c63 : ffffffff`00000000 00000000`00000001 0000ebf8`ca1797d8 00000000`00000011 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!ffxPrintMessage+0x35671b 000000e4`e9b7fc70 00007ff7`ef576b1a : 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000202`bf247000 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!IAntiLag2Module::operator=+0x4c5223 000000e4`e9b7fca0 00007ffb`4839e8d7 : 00000202`bf247000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 : TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping!IAntiLag2Module::operator=+0x4c50da 000000e4`e9b7fd00 00007ffb`49f2c53c : 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 000004f0`fffffb30 000004d0`fffffb30 : kernel32!BaseThreadInitThunk+0x17 000000e4`e9b7fd30 00000000`00000000 : 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 : ntdll!RtlUserThreadStart+0x2c SYMBOL_NAME: TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping+46b4d63 MODULE_NAME: TheOuterWorlds2_WinGDK_Shipping IMAGE_NAME: TheOuterWorlds2-WinGDK-Shipping.exe STACK_COMMAND: dt ntdll!LdrpLastDllInitializer BaseDllName ;

It seems you build the monk more as a disabler than a strong damage dealer, do you think they are more suited for this than focusing on damage?

I have the same issue. None of the possible checks actually show up in the conversation (locked or otherwise), but I tried putting 7 points into leadership and that actually made that option appear. Can't get the engineering one to show up at all, however.

In PoE1 I generally like to optimize them for Torment's Reach (lots of INT and a dual weapon setup). It is very cheap and causes a truckload of damage. I like sabres with this but any heavy one hander setup is nice. But a focus on Force of Anguish is also nice (also high INT to prolong the already long-lasting prone). A single War Club of the Mataru can be very good because it's fast and has extremely high accuracy (+38 if fully leveled and used as single weapon). If you cause a crit, the prone effect of Force of Anguish will last even longer (+50%). Combined with high INT this becomes a very powerful CC tool. You just need to make sure that you gain enough wounds since FoA is pretty expensive in PoE1. You can also use a two handed weapon instead. Less accuracy but more dmg per hit. Llawran's Stick (quarterstaff) is nice bc. of reach and speed. Tidefall is very nice because while the enemy flies away and lays prone it still gets damaged from the DoT.

Just noticing stuff here and there and thought I’d document as best I know how. I’ll change the date if I notice more later but this is as of version 1.005.000 getting stuck walking up the stairs to the left side of the majors residence in Westport. The small stairs between the infirmary and the house with the shortcut to water treatment. There is an invisible collision on the staircase. Very minor and can be jumped over. the lady in the church on the first map (deVries friend I forget the name) will be lying dead in the church after peaceful resolution with deVries. Sometimes she still spawns on free market station sometimes she won’t. Happend twice for me and I tried to keep her door closed on the second one because I thought she might have gotten killed by mobs. But I think it’s something wrong with moving her. I don’t know When respecing after the intro you loose access to all all crafting recipies owned by default. The object is still in the inventory but the option will not show up in the crafting menu. Pretty dire as we loose the basic pistol rounds, grenades and distraction devices as well as inhaler charges. It’s a testament to the flexibility of the game that it’s still playable on the lower difficulties with that. Also I sort of think that bullying us for trying to get a „perfect“ start then switch our build might be funny. Radio triggers seem to be broken. When and where the radio reacts of even if is sort of inconsistent. I don’t think that is the intended effect. Or maybe I’m just unlucky and/or rushing.

Found the one I was missing. Mod can delete topic.

I have collected all four audio logs, as in they are no longer in the world for me to interact with, but the only logs in my Codex are Sojourner's - North, Southwest, and Southeast. Quest log says I have 3/4 collected, and as such I am unable to complete the quest.

Same here dude its freaking annoying like how is this even possible it should be priority fixed !! P

Im having the same bug and im about just done with this game i thought i was losing my mind or was missing something but no

How do you prefer to builds monks?
