I completed EOB3 after about 30 hours I enjoyed it more than EOB2, the game started off terrible but it gets better as you progress. In the beginning you start off hacking trees in the forest and I thought " this is not fun" but once you get to the main dungeons it really improves. And there was a real problem with my sound on an early dungeon level. The background noise was this constant ringing but that seemed to go away once I left the level but it was so annoying I nearly stopped playing and disabling the sound ruins immersion But what I appreciated is there were tips to puzzles and you could basically find everything you needed on the same level, you just needed to explore which is fine. The combat felt unbalanced at times, most enemies you could defeat easily except for earth elementals and these iron scorpions called Scaladars. The game has some improved features that help in combat where you can configure your whole party to attack at once and if you using long weapons like a Pole Arm then you party in the second row can attack without missile weapons. And this makes a noticeable difference The game design did a job of providing you with several "healing oasis " if you dont have a healer and it also allowed some strategic NPC to join your party which made a difference to my overall combat effectiveness The final battle with the Dark God was incredibly easy, I defeated him the first time with no save scumming and I was expecting another EOB2 Dran battle but it wasnt like that. I just moved away from him when he cast spells and I killed him after about 4-5 rounds EOB3 gets a well deserved 62/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system" and its worth playing I have now played the whole EOB series and EOB1 was my preferred game because it captures the overall classic dungeon explorer experience in the best way I am going to have my normal genre break from these classic SSI games but the games I will play next from a Gold Box perspective is going to be Forgotten Realms Collection 2 which includes the Pools of Radiance and other similar games

So first of all, "ANOTHER WAVE" is seared into my brain from DA2 and I think the combat in that game is some of the worst I've played, if not THE worst. While both Owlfinders have some serious issues with their combat, they are nowhere near that level of unpleasant. Secondly, I am a very weird guy who likes both incomprehensible high brow and nostalgia-bait low brow, so I've got no room to **** on anyone's preferences. I've put in a lot of time to WotR so clearly they did something right, and here I am still planning on doing a whopping six runs of WotR after the last DLC drops. But for me at least, the way Larian both had consistently solid combat encounters and engaging non-combat gameplay really knocked down WotR, because WotR is almost exclusively combat focused and still doesn't particularly well.

Sounds suspiciously like the Israeli response.

Maybe they're trying to poach talent from CD Projekt. And if that is the case I would be rather angry about it, because I'd much, MUCH rather have CD Projekt's games than Larian's games.

https://www.anews.com.tr/middle-east/2024/05/21/hamas-calls-out-icc-for-equating-executioner-with-victim No its not about their losses, they outraged because the ICC issued them with warrants " Hamas has criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) for "equating the executioner with the victim" after it sought arrest warrants for leaders of the Palestinian resistance group. In a statement on Telegram on Monday, Hamas requested the ICC to issue arrest warrants for all Israeli war criminals and cancel those against the Palestinian group "

I dont think Hamas is playing the victim over their losses, I think they are referring to the mountain of dead Palestinian civilians.

Thanks! Been playing this game for years, and I still haven't done everything yet.....

Article 63 of the Rome Statute states that "the accused shall be present during the trial". So they cannot do anything in absentia. Indeed, that article is titled 'Trial in the Presence of the Accused', so it's not really something that can be got around. This was pretty much the absolute minimum the ICC could do to keep any shred of credibility; and it is only applying for arrest warrants. A step they, of course, skipped when it came to Putin. Still utterly ridiculous that Israel can outright kill more than 10k children yet Putin 'kidnapping' 'a few hundred' is considered genocide by Karim Khan and sufficiently worse than killing those 10,000+ to justify skipping the application step. Someone might want to update Lindsey Graham on what all the protests in Israel were about up until October 7. Hint: they were about Netanyahu, well, removing the independence of the judiciary.

Given the US will not stand for this, I would wage they could visit any signatory and nothing'll be done. Especially in a state as servile to the US as Canada is. Well he's not calling for airstrikes yet.

Larian has opened yet another studio, this time in Warsaw Poland. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/larians-new-polish-studio-is-a-match-made-in-heaven-for-the-baldurs-gate-3-developers-upcoming-rpgs

You can access them from The Narrows (when from The Gullet you try to reach Dereo), this page explains hot to get them (see Neighborhood path and then Neighborhood map below): https://pillarsofeternity.fandom.com/wiki/The_Narrows

How about they make a brand new Pinecone Turret where you combine stems, pinecone bits, and fill the machine with Gunpowder as a fuel source. Then you can fire giant spikes at your enemies, impaling them if you hit a weak spot, and One Shot obliterating any small enemies like ants or Mosquitoes.

Ghost Song The first boss. The MC has a gun instead of the hand. Defeated another boss. Not sure which health bar was the boss, though. There is no Light The Two Fingers were larger. The Fallen Champion. Whose champion or where they fell from is unknown. Too many faces, but could be worse. Could be Giger. I do not know if the MC was hallucinating at that point. Curious if I run into the other wielders later on. Too many faces. The bane of all adventurers - chest-high wooden fence. Defeated another boss. Expected the leader of the Lunar Order. 9 Years of Shadows And here I decided to take a break - the MC was dying in 3 hits, the knight seemed invincible, there was no other direction to go. Aspire - Ina's Tale A Short Hike I did it.

Glad everything worked out in the end KP.

Minor update, This is just to upload @SenSx updated translation and Forbidden Fist scaling nerf suggested by @yorname that I have agreed before. These were not super priority changes, but I have to do the queued updates once in a while.

My first finger pointing would have been Mossad, but Isreali resources are a bit tied up at the moment. Who knows, sometimes accidents do happen and helicopters crashing is not an unknown thing. Wasn't it Polands leader that ended up in a plane crash, where everybody were speculating about who could be behind it until it turned out that he was just impatient together with a pilot that didn't dare standing up to his "boss"?

Y'all convinced me to load up Darkest Dungeon as well. I just beat the Sonorous Prophet. I have like 18 poor souls on my roster, but only a couple are good for anything. My arbalest was pretty useful in that boss battle.

I am trying to play Necromunda Hired Gun, but I have two traits that do not mesh well in this game: I am a completionist and I suck at jumping/platforming. I can't get to one of the five loot chests in the first area 😕

If I were you, I'd go for Toxic Strike over Perishing Strikes and get someone else in your party who can add Enfeebled. Toxic Strike does a stupid amount of damage over a long duration.
