Major Kira and Lieutenant Commander Tuvok?

Yeah, got similar vibes. Feels like a mix of Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky. Game's "fine" so far, which means it's better than Fallout 4, which I couldn't stand until I started modding it. So far it certainly doesn't feel like it's worth the insane asking price, as far as I'm concerned.

the only reason the aesthetic arguably fits is 'cause a long line o' similar individuals has ignorant or intentional perpetuated the pilgrim buckles-on-hat nonsense. the fact such hats look right in any context is wrong. however, am wanting to make clear that this is not the kinda thing which would prevent us from watching and possibly enjoying a slasher film. yeah, pilgrim hat ornamentation is eye roll worthy, but almost by necessity so will a hundred or thousand other film details. ridiculous situations and people behaving improbable is fundamental in slashers, so the idea the hat is a deal breaker is tongue-in-cheek. even so, we reflexive become annoyed when we see the buckles on pilgrim hats. small annoyance, but by now it should be an unnecessary annoyance. HA! Good Fun!

I was playing late at night and the Dream Guardian not only wouldn't shut up, but also started to freak out near the Githyanki Créche. I was tired and annoyed, so I saved the game and decided to make some stupid decisions just to see what would happen. I found out it is actually much harder to have a game over than what should be expected. Eventually I decided to just have a conversation to learn more about the story and guess what, now the Guardian didn't wanna talk. Edit: to be fair, I did learn some things, but the big questions were not answered.

I said wrecked, not obliterated

There is something that I find amusingly satisfying that Mom is voiced by Nana Visitor while Dad is voiced by Tim Russ.

Really, after almost 40 years? Yeah, I'll get my coat.

Ah thanks to Serbia for beating Canada, media can now stop bombarding me with news about the team.

Finally reached level 5, making the Goblin camp clearing much less tedious. Actually, it makes all the combat much less tedious. Also, uhm, not sure if I'm wrong about this, but that Spectator battle was probably not meant for level 4 parties, right?

I'd expect France to win. Apart from the home town advantage we're pretty rubbish and only looked liked we were doing better than last year because Australia really are complete rubbish and South Africa didn't care. I'd like France to win the whole tournament and not just because at least then I can "no speakay le frenchay" to anyone being smug- they've been the best team not to win it yet. Otherwise, South Africa or maybe Ireland. We will probably make the semis but that's the best I'd expect, and I wouldn't be surprised if we lost in the quarters. One thing's for sure, they have to rejig the tournament draws, doing the seedings 3 years out was moronic. Two pools are ridiculously easy, one is ridiculously hard. Funny thing about our record loss to South Africa, I didn't think South Africa even played that well, and on another day they could have added another 20 points to that already record score.

I replayed Morrowind about 12 months ago and I loved it, I included some good mods. I enjoyed exploring the Dwemer ruins and fighting the various Daedra I loved the lore found in books and also the various factions that you can join. I think Morrowind has the best narrative of all ES games I have played...it was always creepy meeting Dagoth Ur followers and see the land decline due to the Red Mountain Overall Daggerfall is my favorite ES game and I still havent played Skyrim but I will be, Im just waiting any final, final, final versions to be released because I only have 3 versions of the game and I dont want to miss out on another release

well, it took a bit o' time, but the "retarded" people o' the US did eventual deport osho's con man arse, so score one for the developmental challenged, eh? furthermore, pretty much nobody says retarded anymore and even if they did the actual issue is ignorance as 'posed to some kinda endemic learning disability. however, the guys who invented modern representative democracy were quite aware o' the importance o' an educated electorate. "if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -- thomas jefferson, from one o' his innumerable letters to... somebody. is ez to find similar insights from madison, franklin and others. 'course for jefferson and other founders, their recognition of education as an essential prerequisite for protecting liberty were another reason why they were okie dokie with only having landed and educated white men enjoy the franchise. 2023 is a also bit different than 1787. the internet allows many millions o' undereducated americans to convince selves they is aware of and informed 'bout relevant issues 'cause they did online research regarding covid, climate change and january 6. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/09/07/republican-voters-january-6-trump-enten-ac360-vpx.cnn thanks to the internet, never has so many dangerously ignorant people been so unshakably certain in their stoopid held beliefs. HA! Good Fun!

Look it'd be one thing if this was a lofi game or something but if you're saying stuff like "the game runs fine, it's your computer that's the problem" and the characters look like a badly animated thing someone made while drunk then you should get roasted over that. Tears of the Kingdom has better looking characters and it's on Nintendo Switch. But even all that aside, it's an intentionally boring game with janky ass gameplay. **** that.

Hello and welcome. It works just like it used to. There were no changes to the workings of those particular abilities of the (Darcozzi) Paladin and also the items didn't change. For a ranged "marker paladin" you can use three diff. unique ranged weapons, you can find them here: https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/Marking The earliest ranged one is still St. Garam's Spark (pistol). For good shots with Flames of Devotion (and no weapon switching) however the arquebus Pliambo per Casitàs might be the preferabe choice ifyou want to squeeze everything out of your alpha strikes. It's pretty difficult to get that weapon early though.

I don't know that I can compare them that way. It compares well to Daggerfall because it is a massive world that relies on fast travel and randomization. Morrowind is my favorite of the Oblivion/Skyrim grouping because it is a very unique setting, instead of generic fantasy, but it's still not the same scale as Starfield and Daggerfall.

I've not played either game yet, I have Starfield installed but I'm waiting until I have enough time to dedicate a solid minimum 3 to 4 hour block (read: the weekend) to fiddle with the character creator and go through the prologue. However, if BG3 really did set a new standard then rather than cry about how they shouldn't be expected to reach such levels maybe these devs should instead step their ****ing game up, no pun intended. They can use whatever excuses they want but what I hear/read is "we're just not good enough".

I was not comparing the games, that would in fact make no sense. I was talking about people's reaction to the conditions involved in developing them. According to many devs, BG3 is an "anomaly", a game that is incredibly good because of how much money/people/time was available and we shouldn't expect the same result in other games. But now we have Starfield, developed by more people, for a longer time and with more money, and even so nobody is afraid of the expectations it creates. Clearly, it should have been much better at launch.

I wouldn't compare BG3 to Starfield on a lot of stuff, but what they can be compared on (like voice acting or animations) BG3 absolutely beats Starfield. The conversations/facial animations looked like they'd fit in a vanilla New Vegas or Skyrim and some random goblins reacting to Quentin Tarantino's guest writing is more memorable than anything I've seen from Starfield. Mediocre.

I'm sure by the time you BG3 people get to play, there will be bear alien sex mods available.

I'm definitely not paying full price. And with all this mess to fix, I'm not in a hurry to play. Where are all those people that claimed BG3 was the best game ever and we shouldn't expect other games to be the same? Why not criticize Bethesda for having more people/time/resources and delivering this? Now I understand why one of Starfield's devs was complaining about BG3...

I have explored most of the city, and I am starting to see the end. Gathered two of the infinity stones, but I still have some loose companion quests to do before going the final one.

The animation doesn't really matter in this case - it's mostly cosmetic (except when we look at attack speeds). Torment's Reach - despite looking like a kick - does use your main hand weapon. Stuff like Skyward Kick is also animated like it was done with your foot but uses your weapon anyway. On the other hand Forbidden Fist looks like it is done with your fist (which is a weapon) but it doesn't use your actual fist, but I digress... With Swift Flurry/HBD the only thing that matters is whether the attack and damage roll - under the hood, in game logic - are done with a melee weapon (fists count as weapons, too) or not. With Torment's Reach and most other attack abilites this is rel. easy to check on the tooltip of the ability in the action bar or even better in the combat log (where you can rel. easily deduce which weapon or other damage effect was used by the damage type and other infos around the rolls). There are some abilities that are more complicated to figure out, but fortunately Torment's Reach is relatively straightforward: it is a melee weapon attack, executed with your active main hand weapon (called "primary attack"). At least that's true for the initial attack of Torment's Reach that hits the first enemy: it can trigger Swift Flurry/HBD. Note that additional attacks from Swift Flurry or Heartbeat Drumming do not repeat the attack they originated from (in this case Torment's Reach). Instead they execute an invisible (no animation) standard attack with your main hand weapon - so it does NOT repeat Torment's Reach with all the cone AoE and so on. Now - the cone AOE of Torment's Reach/Raised Torment that follows the initial attack roll - and which eventually hits other enemies behind the initial one - is NOT a melee weapon attack. Instead it actually is implemented as a spell-like effect. Thus it does NOT trigger Swift Flurry/HBD. You can check that in the combat log when the attack rolls for the cone were made. --- Addendum: for easier assessment it is good to know that every attack ability that says that it is done as "Primary Attack" or "Full Attack" (see its description) is 100% using your active weapon(s) - and if that's a melee weapon then it's a melee weapon attack for sure and will trigger Swift Flurry (see below example of Torment's Reach). Ouf, got carried away a bit. I hope that answers your question (and was not too elaborated/confusing).

TESIII: Morrowind. Watched a wizard experiencing falling damage, explored slavers' cave, talked to the locals. Also realised that I do not remember how to rest, fast travel, or sort the inventory by weight or whether it was possible at all. Still, I like the dialogue system with random NPCs (the new information becomes available to ask to elaborate) and the consistency of the replies (so I do not have to parse them only to gain the same information). While it is not what I would want from a party-based CRPG, it works well with the sandbox design of TES. The story so far - I was told to go to Balmora and find Caius Casades.

Love when politicians crack jokes about botox baboon.

Osho succinctly and VERY slowly explains Murican politics:

Sintee builds are still good for potd party runs. I used them back in the day... I'm unaware of like a meta "how to make builds" guide. That would be an interesting project but personally I'm too consumed by BG3 at the moment. Really it is kind of hard to mess up NPC builds unless you're trying like a trial of iron run or something. Aloth for example is good as a wizard, battlemage, or spellblade. They just fulfill different party roles. And speaking of party roles having them covered is more important than optimizing individual characters. Like you want at least 1 tank, 1+ healer/support, usually an offensive caster, and a couple DPS. Sometimes this adds to like 7 roles but multiclassing allows you to cover multiple roles with one character. Your party seems fine as far as covering roles. Much easier to mess up the main character like if you pick a weird multiclass and don't know how to make it work. But there are many good build guides on this forum for main characters. And heralds are always good.

Ok, fair enough then! In any case, it's a common phrase these days, generally used in ways and contexts not exactly conducive to gaining more proper information. Check this out, for reference: https://thinkingispower.com/the-problem-with-doing-your-own-research/

I did read about it on facebook, that counts as research, right?

I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but "do your own research" is a very unfortunate turn of phrase because it is generally used by conspiracy theorists and such, i.e. people who tend not to be able to do any kind of proper research and who have a tremendous confirmation bias and tend to confuse things like correlation and causation and may not be able to apply much logic to their thinking, either.

Planned and pushed for by Russia, absolutely, ever since 2014 and before. As Putin has long maintained, the collapse of the Soviet Union was the "greatest geopolitical disaster"[*] of the 20th century, and both Belarus and Ukraine are his attempts to bring the empire back. With Belarus, he has effectively succeeded, but with Ukraine, not. Hungary remains something of a mystery, at least to me. I wonder if anyone anywhere has a good answer that has been made public. [*] I would argue that it's quite obvious that the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century was the formation of the Soviet Union. Very, very little good ever became of that, and nothing good at all compared to all the death and disaster it created. The EU, while "mostly harmless", to quote one D. Adams, is not geopolitically all that important, but it's not all that deadly, either.

JuiceMedia takes on Canada and it's war against its indigenous people...

I'm sure I've posted this before but this bears posting again. Absolute Legend.

Or Mordheim It has 500 screenshots on this forum already posted by me, so you won't have to take any

WoT had Harriet McDougal and Brandon Sanderson as producers, for all the good it did. Witcher had Sapkowski... How on earth they gave Rafe Judkins another series (not Bladerunner, to avoid any implication) to run after WoT I don't know unless the whole thing actually is an elaborate tax fiddle. WoT was an expensive series and it looked like Hercules/ Xena half the time.

Germany showed up, but that last bad pass cost you the game. Well at least the "EU" can handle a B-C US team. We have a joke here. This is Angela Merlkel's team.

Died all the same though.

JK Simmons? Is that the person who wrote the Harry Potter books?

I saw this comment recently: "Starfield is like you're over 40 years old. There is a universe to explore, but you're already tired from work and it's time to sleep." ...I'm not over 40 years old (or even particularly close to it), but it still struck a chord.

Apparently, even the rabbits are aware you can find water in toilets. Anything works in an apocalypse, right. ...but sorry, Mr. Bunny, my hunger trumps your thirst. It was a strange game day where I kept finding those bunnies in places you usually never see them in the game, like hardware stores, under shopping carts, inside cargo trailers on top of boxes, etc.
