Substitute killed me. (Pun intended.)

I won't judge. MEA is a pretty game . . . when you're looking at environments.

. . . that wouldn't be creepy.

Casual don't know the thing. First time I play the game, I found only aloth easily. Others members are more... here and here. It is easy to miss and arrive to caed nua only with 2 characters (you and Aloth). Now, I go immediatly found all my companion BEFORE^^ start quests. No offense, but I find this impressive. The other three are the only NPCs up to that point that have voiced dialog that speak directly too you without going into 'we're talking now and everything freezes' mode.

You're still better off than I am. I haven't played Banner Saga 1 and its been in my backlog for four years.

First time I met the Steward I climbed into her lap and started listing off what I wanted for Christmas. Felt natural to me.

I never do self inserts, all-in paragon of good or evil, or all opposite of me characters. I make a character, try to fit them in the world in a way that makes sense, and then I play.

Which is the heart of the 'Resolve problem'.

DPS/fortitude/will to Might, health/fortitude/heal bonus to Con, action speed/reflex/deflection to Dexterity, accuracy/reflex to Perception (it might be a little bit behind dex, but accuracy and crit chance need buffing and that might even things out), AOE/ability duration/will to Intellect.

Durance himself comes to realise that he has been talking bullstars for most of the game. I don't dislike the character, but he is eminently suited to villainhood. If Durance becomes a villain then Grieving Mother will probably morph into Woedica. Seriously, she's the most evil character in POE1. For the most evil character in the game, it sure is weird how she's the only one that can actually leave your party if you're a genuinely terrible person yourself. She'll runaway (again) like a coward (again) if you don't say exactly the right things. :/

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best fix for Resolve is to get rid of it. Turn Strength back into Might (add back the spell damage and healing buffs), give the Deflection bonus to Dexterity (because it boarders on a dumpstat), and the will bonus to Perception (I'd prefer to give it to Intellect, but Int. already has a Will bonus).

I like to punch things.

It started with asking what's for dinner. It started with a friendly motorcycle race. It started with knocking on the wrong door. It started with fishing. I'm still not sure how this one started, but these accusations are entirely false. #thanksanime

I, for one, am thankful GM is gone. I despised her character--too much like Torment's own weird-for-weird's-sake going on with her.

Nope. That was my nephew in-law. He goes deer hunting every year and usually bags at least one.

Made some venison and rice last night. That sounds fancier than it really was--my main 'seasoning' was soy sauce.

Can't wait for the movie.

^That last pic reminds me of how confused I was with the environmental bosses in that game the firs time I played it.

Moral of the story is don't follow the impromptu advice of a divinity you don't worship.

Definitive proof that all elves are evil.

Note to self: Don't read The Food thread while hungry.

IMO, the personality reputation mechanic can be better than the morality meter of Baldur's Gate. The question is reactivity (as it always is with RPGs).
