Seelah's single (and not interested), orc paladin's married to a NPC spymaster lady. And to answer your question, why yes, they all do. BG2's crew of misfits sometimes feel like a department of accounting next to these guys, and speaking of that, I don't buy for a minute Annoymen was a success within its target audience unless target audience does not mean women, because mother****er is the proto nice guy. I used him in my last playthrough since he is good at what he does, my female Charname was dismissive with him all the time, and I still got roped into romance. Also, hands of xenophobe Ashley. She's like Wrex, but human female. She's great and I love her.

Yes they can! Until, well, they cannot any longer.* *moar bony spoilers

that's why I went with the dudes. Soz, while bland as gastric ward's meal, at least is genuinely good people. Daeran's a bit of a **** though, but my Lich didn't mind. Heh heh. I do have plans to see Cam's and Succ's stories if I do the EE (which - at least based on their reddit liaison's words - seems like it's not going to be very E really, so I have doubts), but I draw a line at that human-facehugger hybrid. What a thoroughly disgusting character.

My max STR guy has 440 HP at level 20, Honey Badger, when I whispered him, had over 11K. It dropped to 7K later and then to 5K when I brought him back to HQ so it probably was affected by that Port-A-Potty buff before or something, still - 5K HP and he did in a clown guy in three bites when we got summoned to fend off a Steeltown gang attack. The only inconvenience is that if he gets set on fire it shears off a percentage of his health instead of fixed points...still, it's just an inconvenience, since pets get a full restore when you're changing zones.

I Wasteland's 3 Steeltown DLC! Tighter writing, fun new game mechanics, loads and loads of great loot, and last but not least, toilet humor! I think if I didn't have a max speed guy, a hacker and a mechanic the last fight could've felt a bit stretched, but since I had...anyway, there was plenty of XP too and now with maxed out Animal Whisperer I whispered myself a Honey Badger who is proving to be a walking cheat.

High chaos Dishonored is glorious and delightful. Though I liked the sneaky way too, there is something cathartic about summoning rat swarms, tossing oil tanks and tricking people to cross the hacked gates. Also playing Wasteland 3, though probably less than 1/3 so far, just apprehended Kid No. 1 and doing sidequests to max out selected non-combat skills before hitting the DLC town. Love both aesthetic and combat, also soundtrack is great. I like neat little details like "Sans Luxe" apartments, skills being Sneaky **** and Nerd Stuff instead of Subterfuge or Science, fits just right with the whole tongue-in-cheek, "It's not really real" atmosphere. While I do like combat, it does not like me so far, probably because I was half-neglecting its skills, but I can open, disarm and talk myself out of everything now which is way more important. Knew I won't be siding with the Patriarch from the start, because his horrible kids have one thing in common - their dad, and it went only worse, so it's kind of Angie to show up and provide fall back.

Whataboutism aside, I'm not seeing any unmanned TV tower attack called a "war crime" in any news feed? Just russia being russia and retaliating in its usual way, i.e. making life difficult for civilians by disrupting infrastructure? And there are casualties, by the way,

It makes sense when you take russian messianistic complex into account. "We're there to show teh One Troo Way (that is Our Way), why those savages cannot comprehend that?!?!" Bull**** of "We russians are special" kind is very much state-supported narrative since, well, that shriveled infected ballsack lodged itself more or less firmly onto the throne, and it is also supported by church and other institutions. Why? Well, when you choose to pocket away all your country's income and give the people bupkis, you need something else to keep them in line, since it's logistically difficult and economically unsound to attach a KGB thug to everyone or jail them all. So telling them they are special and misunderstood and giving them an enemy to vent anger at (gays, NATO, Ukrainians) works.

The Insider has online thing for current events, Mordor-based sources mostly. https://theins.ru/politika/254902 No English version though.

Game time is extremely relative thing. I routinely clock three digits of hours in RPGs and there's one in four even and it almost always is like "Why is it four in the morning when I just sat down with it a minute ago?!" versus, say, FEAR which dragged for me like forever and a year when I actually finished it in less than 10 hours.

Is a longbow. Also, you are shaping up rather nicely for a Trickster path which incidentally goes well with eventual Legend. Also2, wait until that fancy gimmick lets her cast Hellfire rays.

Pushed to page 2 again. By dead anime thread no less.

'sides, Serbia to former Yugoslavia seems to be a lite menthol version of what Russia is to former Sovietistan conquests, Ukraine excluded as by now. I hope our resident Serb isn't too annoyed by all the Serbsplaining.

I, too, am not a fan of evil, I only always run with Edwin, Korgan, Dorn and Viconia because I like them as professionals of their respectful fields. As for gnomes, I prefer both Jansen and Jubilost from Kingmaker to mini Hauptsturmfuhrer, but he's alright too. Nice damage with that bugged axiomatic hammer and voice so cool your brain doesn't even register all the stupid fascist tripe he's spouting. But now when I think, I don't really have a favourite companion in Wrath, they all are just kind of fifty shades of meh. Anyway, there is a patch with long-ass list of fixes too and people have been datamining Expanded Edition stuff. Seems like there's going to be moar ending slides among other things, also

Track from the game kind of appropriate for a necro

Top Gun inspired Hot Shots and that makes it OK in my books. Also I tried to remember things about Top Gun and realized that everything (well except for Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer totally wanting a piece of each other) was actually from Hot Shots... Having recently rewatched Aliens, I still find it very, well, watchable. Stupider, sure, but I dunno, all that gun porn feels good and Vasquez rules. Would've edited out the kid though, or at least her eardrum-piercing squealing.

Just buy that girl the Red Salamander ring already!

You do that. Beasties are no nonsense useful and powerful in this game.

Putting the spotlight on the celestial raptor is a very good reason for reposting, going raptor was probably the best advice I lifted from these here Pathfinder threads. Raptor's the reason Lann's in all my parties (though as divine hunter he's no slouch himself either), tried one party without and it felt so...unnatural. Plus the aggressor raptor does bleeding damage and it has delicious synergy with my crit-stacking instinctual warrior trickster with "on crit, instakill wounded things who bleed" falchion. Tip: you can put a charisma diadem on the raptor. Also, gloves (there even is one very balanced-for-celestial-raptor set), and a cape and bracers and a belt, which raises a question why they drew the line at rings and goggles. ...and now I want to play it again.

I found demon both mechanically underwhelming and RP-wise quite silly, because you're essentially Ragey McEdgelord who absolutely must assert dominance on everything and anything -- in other words, a teenager. Legend I liked a lot. Reminded me a bit of the best ending of Bloodlines aka .

I had (still have, left them in Chapter 3 until GOTY edition) a party with wildland shaman PC and Ember with Cam leaning into hexes. The debuff pile-up was very handy in early to early-mid levels. Also from RP angle a party that constantly curses and chants has to be a delight. "Piss off, you wanker!" "Jai guru deva..." "U fokin wot mate?!?!" "Ommmmmmm..."

Cam's a bit secretive, but she'll come clean soon enough, don't you worry. I gave her a chance after keeping her benched for couple o'first playthroughs and what do you know, she is useful and v. good at what she does. It's just that her low levels really suck.

I only ever finished BG1 twice. Once -- years ago -- did Sarevok in by cheating. Second time -- many years and experience in RPGs later -- buffed up to the gills, ready to kite him through all the traps I laid beforehand...and then as soon as I split him from his posse the wand of paralysis connects and alas, poor Sarevok. My level was higher, I think, in eights or nines. I also liked Dragonspear much more than BG1, so, yeah. Gimme those tomatoes.

Halfway through Stranger Things 4. That whole Hopper subplot - why is it even there? So many contrivances, asspulls and schmaltz ("You're a superhero, 11! Plz save the world!" ), sometimes I felt like I was watching a telenovella. Vecna looks like a ghoul from Fallout and shuffles like a geriatric zombie despite of being so effin' ripped. 2 out of 10 for scary presence, 8 out of 10 for making me want to play NV again. For something leaning into horror of eighties so much they cast Englund, there is way, way not enough of slashed teens. "Stranger Things by way of Until Dawn" would be such and improvement, not to mention help with cast bloat. Especially since at least three of them have no purpose whatsoever. Wish they gave something more to do to Eddie the metalhead. Such a dramatic introduction, actor kinda channeling Heath Ledger from that Shakespeare-adapted-for-high-school-setting film, and it fizzles out right after the first episode. Steve the Hair still has good comedic timing and thus is my least disliked character, though I'm warming up to Erica the Overly Sarcastic Younger Sister.

That's because it's the bestest of the three and they treat it like a dessert, i.e. in limited doses.
