I'm currently doing research in order to be better prepared to take part in the conversation.

Gwent with a story.

This is my experience. I don't mind the difficulty spikes so much as the lack of communicating to the player what's going on. I'm also getting a greater appreciation for the Pillars series quality of life changes to the formula (fast walking, no equipment weight, no fatigue mechanic, etc.)

Dune spoilers

Awesome series.

Playing a half-orc monk but forgot to add a few more points into CON.

Because the Huana are so racially dominated by aumaua and there's no procreation in mixed race couples, I imagine its hard to keep the non-aumauan population up within the Huana.

The pacing of The Wheel of Time is great if you read all the books back-to-back (even Crossroads of Twilight). If you're just reading one book every so often, they can feel disjointed and bloated.

Dune is a sci-fi, those 'prophecies' are social engineering and not actual prophecy.

Back in '07-ish Ray Lewis said of Tom Brady, "Put a bell on him." I agree with many of the rule changes concerning hitting the QB (being in a throwing position isn't the same as bracing for a hit) but we are now at a point that as long as he stays in the pocket, the QB isn't really playing tackle football but everyone else is still subject to tackle rules.

Keep in mind, kiting is a thing and it is glorious. l l l V

^I wouldn't get rid of the textbook. I actually have about four boxes of old encyclopedias published in the 1960's that my elementary school was getting rid of and I volunteered to save them. They could've stuck a dog in that trashcan and it would still be there, but not the books.

. . . aside from the plethora of still existing bugs.

Anything ranged, 'cause only sissies don't melee.

I was just thinking the best game inXile has done is the remaster, and they outsourced that.

The actual game isn't bad. It's just that the program actively conspires against you playing it. The loading times that make Pillars pale in comparison, framerate drops, invisible icons in the inventory, skill points that appear placed but aren't, quest and item text that's barely readable due to terrible UI scaling, graphics and resolution settings that simply don't work, oh and the language setting that automatically resets every time you turn the game on. Yep. Those are bad. REALLY bad. At this point I feel like bad UI is an inXile staple.

Why haven't they? Probably other priorities and while a popular opinion on the forums, the dislike of the narration isn't wide spread. (Honestly, I think she didn't the best voice work in the while game.)

Dragon Quest XI and its singleplayer.

Me neither. Too excited.

Why would Republicans hate immigrants? They love immigrants. They hate criminals and Dems love criminals that's the difference. Since when was Jesus an immigrant? Technically he was a displaced native.

I caved and preordered Pathfider. In my defense, I was going to buy it on release date anyway. (And no, unlike many I don't think its going to be the second coming of Baldur's Gate 2.)

I'm hoping there's a tie game each week this season.

Yeah, they were very upfront about not adding companions in the expansions. Where? Everybody keeps saying how obvious it was, but I don't remember hearing this and feel like I've followed the game's development reasonably well. The Fig campaign, Josh's twitter/Something Awful, in video interviews, and I'm pretty sure here on the forums. It got reiterated constantly during the crowd funding and dev time.

^Similar but tangent, I've always considered getting your books burned a mark of having finally made it for an author.
