Elon Musk already has taken his wife.

I think it should be Microsoft - Sierra got bought my Activision, Activision got bought by Microsoft. Unless Arcanum IP was owned by more then just Sierra. Do we really want Arcanum sequel though? I don't think original creators are naive enough to attempt a sequel that would do justice to Arcanum's ambitions. As much as I hate to say it, the only dev I could imagine tackling Arcanum2 is Larian, and I would rather have them stay away from the rest of my beloved IPs.

Miller also ranting about might makes right is funny given what a weak man he is. I guess someone stronger can go take his wife and house. And this has what to do with the US operation ? Also my point was Miller's attitude and.... interesting vision of history. But anyway, this is a fruitless vector, as usual.

My question is not about the removing of Maduro by the USA. Im interested if you consider free and fair elections as relevant for domestic legitimacy in any country outside the US? Venezuela claims to be a Democracy and have free and fair elections But Maduro stole the last 2 elections, it was so bad Brazil refused to allow Venezuela to join BRICS in 2024 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c624m4kgrg3o This is about your own opinion so it is relevant to the question

Picked up Avowed from the Steam winter sale. But since I'm still very far from finishing up my inaugural BG3 run, it'll be a while before I get to try it. Also picked up the ToEE remake.

same here i left mid quest to look for evidences that could helped me convince Aza to spare her and when i came back the door was blocked. Couldn’t open it. even tho i haven’t opened it before. Aza doesn’t seems to follow me through the vent as well. help please i want to finish that quest

It's irrelevant whether I consider him a "legitimate" leader; the government of Venezuela considered him their legitimate President. North Korea calls itself a people's democracy and holds "democratic" elections. Is there any doubt that Kim Jung Un is the legal President of North Korea? International Law and the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement Operations in Venezuela

who even have the right to arcanum right now shouldn't be expansive to buy

Yeah, I am happy to wait for an upgrade until a game I really want to play comes out. I did love building a new PC and having an insane backlog of quality titles to go through. Dishonored2 being one of them, and it still deserves more playthroughs then the one I gave it. Still waiting for a lot of Sony sequels to come down in price.

Do you consider Maduro a legitimate leader for Venezuela? And whats your definition of a legitimate leader in any country that calls itself a Democracy that has elections For me its very simple, you just have to win a free and fair election @rjshae and @Zoraptor Im also interested in what you think about this question and anyone else can respond

I am new here.

Maybe it also has something to do with all the reloading of saves i've done after the quest ended in failure or during the combat, hard to tell. And note that neither the npcs nor the main character is in combat mode, so I don't think the cause would be some enemy got spawned under map.

I'm running The Outer Worlds 2 on PC, during the quest Pinching The Pupa, a wave of enemy never spawned, I've fought the first wave and the second, not sure whether it's the third one missing out or the fourth one, so the quest ojective stuck on helping to defend the fort with no enemy to fight with, which you may see from my attachment below, the radar is clear. Before doing the quest, I wandered into the nest of Mantisaur and picked up the pupa before hand, not sure if it's related. I've tried reloading saves, exiting the game, yet nothing seems to be of help. Besides that bug, there is also annoying stutter of sound effects reloading or loading into a different map like all the sound effects got loaded and played loudly in one second.

One of the best things that @Elric Galad added in BPM was the empower interaction. Predictable "miscast" is flavorful and adds some level of control to the randomness. I have not played BG2, but for the Wild Mage, there was a class ability that always proc'd a "wild surge" but came with benefits (e.g. casting a higher level spell using a level 1 spell slot). I think Empower fits really well here for that function. More thoughts on that later. I think you're so right about them being hard to notice. With the exception of invisibility and stun, there's usually very little visual information presented to you, and the combat log rolls by quickly. I really like having a shorter more impactful list of effects. Even if they were affliction/inspiration, pick a shorter list a la Tayn's Chaotic Orb. I also like the idea of making them focused on Serafen. There's something more playable and flavorful there vs. total chaos. One thing that's missing right now from the current list of Wild Surges is just casting the wrong spell. I think that's slightly harder to do in terms of programming, but even if you cast a second spell randomly chosen, that feels cooler/more flavorful. I'm noodling some effects and will come back with some more refined ideas. Thanks for the feedback/input.

Heh, criminal ex-President to go on trial... and it's not Trump. I wonder how the negotiations for Maduro's pardon are coming along? Presumably Hernández will be consulted for tips.

They fired Moran for speaking the truth, remember.

With the way melee animations work, I haven't had alt-itis like I do in some games. I've tried melee a few times and once I melee-thrust myself off a cliff. Technically I think using the staff to cast spells does the same forward/stuck in an elongated animation movement but since you cast it from afar it doesn't bother me. I might try the bows later. Of course, I'm still using mostly the easy settings, because after the first 20 or so hours, I'm just trying to rush to unlock stuff. Having to find/loot block varieties in "random" places is so annoying. Loot a chest, bang, "true sandstone fancy block discovered." Pffft.

It's been a while since I made any Deadfire mods, but I had an idea kicking around for the Wild Mind bonus to be like Sasha's Singing Scimitar - restore an Empower point when Serafen Empowers a Cipher spell. Wild Surges would then have a chance of triggering on Empowered casts, or perhaps have a chance of triggering on any spell cast and always triggering on Empowered casts, similar to how you have it set up. The other part to this I was thinking of was that the Wild Surges need to have effects that are more flavourful and immediately obvious; effectss like the "Apply [Inspiration] to enemy" surges feel too mechanical and are often not evident until you're wondering why you're suddenly underpenetrating against this enemy and it turns out Serafen applied Robust to them. My idea was Wild Surges being self-centered, party-unfriendly AoE Cipher Spells, e.g., casting Telekinetic burst or Secret Horrors. The idea would then be that Serafen could Empower spells every encounter, but you'd have to keep him well away from party members. Keep Miscast as a possibility to have a meaningful downside aside from friendly fire

My biggest issue is altitis and worlditis. Like, I keep starting new characters on new worlds with new server rules. I'm an expert on the first 10 hours of the game.

It's already in the game. I've seen ppl on forums talk about it. It's mountains I guess. I've been focusing on exploring and seeing what one can do with building blocks (no gravity/structural integrity considerations, can "float" bases, like in NMS). I still haven't even tamed a cat/animal. Just like in real life these days, I don't really want to take care of one. Edit: I went without the larger backpacks for ages because that swamp FT spire annoyed me - I kept falling with those bouncy pads. Later I finally tried chopping a stairway into a tree and got to the top that way. I hated that swamp area.

why isn't this a QoL thing? would be nice to clear off my base of roasting spits, just use the cookery instead, and cook 5 at once since its supposed to be an upgrade anyway?

I assume snow is on the development plan, since the game isn't even officially version 1 yet. I haven't even reached the water biome yet.

Enshrouded: Well, I'll be dipped in .... I was making new chrs/saves/testing and realized that each save, even offline/SP, is still like creating a separate world "instance" of the game - which you can then enter/visit with any other character you create. Meaning you could take chr. #2 and enter chr #1's save/world and grab anything out of chests. leave and go back into chr #2's world/save. High level tools, gear, big storage boxes, working workstations, whatever. Keeping that join-server-like feature as part of offline/SP is nuts. Talk about sandbox-replay shortcuts. So that gives Enshrouded a few extra bonus points until a possible full creative mode. I think I'm lacking the snow biome. I'm not sure I care. I'm almost current max-clvl already, and the progression of shroud and dungeons are becoming more aggravating (platforming jumps, maze-likes, getting constantly lost/turned around, ugh). Plus I don't need snow-themed furniture, haha. My fave biome so far is the 2nd one (kind of a redwood/forest rainy biome) and it's probably the only one I'd want to base in, anyway.

Yeah beat her that way with wing strikes, sort of funny to kill her in second form by running away. Still a deeply annoying fight for me. Aven Colony is still going, have a mission to get 1000 people, basically I need to be the anti-Stephen Miller. Shouldn't be too hard but I prefer to move slowly.
