  1. "FNV: Dead Money" also allows you to refuse Elijah's offer straight away.
  2. I half-expected a bio-pic to be the last cash cow in the herd, but then, "Silmarillion" and other genre stuff prolly would be a harder sell to general audience than tried and true biopic. Which could also serve as an Oscar bait, the Academy of old farts seem to love em, no matter how cheesy and glossed over they are.
  3. I would prefer that they put romance with Pallegina. XD She deserve love. Alas, Gina is in a tumultuous, all-consuming, abusive, but passionate relationship with the Vailian Republics. She has neiher time nor place in her heart for some silly little Watcher. As for theoretical companions of theoretical PoE3, I'd prefer all new crew. But Eder can stay. Eder can always stay.
  4. So is remake of Disney cartoons but with humans the new superhero comic adaptation? Will I have to expand my latitude of loathing? I don't want to spread it too thin and wide, because if things keep going this direction I might yet need it. A lot of it.
  5. thanks, but I'd rather bang a tribe of scatological ogres than that creep.
  6. Moving the quote from another topic here, because I see your stupid alignment interpretations, Algroth, and I raise you successful quest outcomes tied to choosing the aligned answer. Thar be spoilers, profanities and motherf†cking blasphemies. So Val gets herself an interesting scar that looks more like birthmark or tattoo, nothing remotely disfiguring -- and suddenly everyone thinks she's ugly. Well okay, I can take that, people are fickle, and I can take that Val is depressed because she's been pretty all her life and has no idea how to ugly even if she's not really ugly but whatever. She seems to get over it, but then Paladins of Fickle arrive to my kingdom and start...stealing my culture points? What exactly do they do, distribute Kinkade paintings while singing Nickelback songs? No matter, me and Val track them down and find out that apparently Val offended the goddess (whom she did not choose to serve in the first place and whose full name must be Kardashelyn) by choosing her own path and the scar is her way to tell us she's pouting until Val f†cking apologizes?!!. So naturally I go, "F†ck them and their vapid goddess, Val, that scar's not so bad and even adds to your street cred since you're a warrior now" and she's "You know what? You're right!" and it's all good with a valuable life lesson to boot, right? As if. Boom, quest f†cking failed. Okay google, tell me what did I do wrong...oh. Val had to plead guilty? And I had to take that Lawful Good pole up the arse? But she's not...okay. Okay. XP is XP, water under the bridge and I am playing the infamous Chaotic Random alignment anyway. Fine. Lets move on, who's next to have me tie their bootlaces? Tristian? 'kay, lets go do his (and by his, I mean his literally. He created that cult with a specific purpose to pester Charname) cultists in. So we confront them before they do the nasty, I go (Neutral) with "Your cult, your problem, Tristian", we smash them, all good and fine. Until we return to the capital, that is. Yak to Tristian, boom, quest failed. Credit where it is due -- I sat there for some time pondering whether to take roleplaying (I hate Tristian and wish him fail in everything) or metagaming (Mah XP!!!!) option. Very few games were able to do this to me, and if I weren't so close to leveling up...anyway, F9, (Neutral Good) "Oh no Mister Cultist, please do not murder this girl horribly! I know there is still good in you!!!", and all is forgiven, hallef†ckingluja! Sarenrae. Sarenrae. Listen. That cult your winged rat manifested into reality? They're pests compared to other things he did. Like, you know, seeding countless peasants with . Or creating the portal that spews out monstrosities at regular intervals. Or giving the Big Bad tools to proceed with whatever nefarious goals she has. And all it took to completely redeem him was to dismantle one puny cult that he himself created? And now he prances about as if nothing happened, being his usual condescending and smug self to everyone and nobody calls him out on it or even go "STFU Tristian, you traitorous coward?" Seriously, Sarenrae? ...I'd like you to meet my friend, Sarenrae. Name's Eothas, real cool guy and has exactly what y'all need right here. In conclusion, "Thing No 214 that PoE series does better: the game knows gods are as$holes, the game does not try to convince me they are not as$holes, the game allows me call them out on their as$holyness"
  7. I assume those were different playthroughs, because 'good' and 'with the Chorus' kind of...do not work together.
  8. And that's why I am not going to engage you
  9. And ever, amen. † Not only this new cookie cutter chick has nothing on Salma, new dudes are awful too. I'd wish for this stupid project to fail but it'll do that without my help anyway.
  10. More, like, boooooring. Samey, predictable enemies. And backtracking. Oh the backtracking.
  11. Have you read HP Lovecraft? Yep. At first I found him too verbose and a bit purpley, but eventually decided it fits the stuff he writes about rather well. I mean if you write about incomprehensible, mind liquefying cosmic horrors, then muddled, meandering run-on sentences convey your message much better than, say, Hemingway'ish concision.
  12. The Oldwalls, to be precise -- it's the name of dungeon system.
  13. I liked the narrator, her eerie, slightly offset delivery matched godly weirdness very well, but I agree about unnecessity of voicing "he said, she said" lines. Also, I haven't been around when PoE launched, did people whine as much about that game's narrator? Because he totally sounds like that "Here is my dull and dreary powerpoint presentation, gods how bored I am!" dude who delivered NWN2's "rocks fall, everyone dies" ending speech. As for Deadfire's vs Kingmaker's writing (not the same thing as the story), are really there people who prefer the latter? Because as writing goes, Deadfire not as much blows P:K out of water as catapults it into the high orbit.
  14. I had a rather annoying bug with disappearing companions a couple of times, but loading the earlier save that's not in the same location fixed it, albeit not always from the first try. Other than that, nothing serious. Loved Tyranny's setting and atmo to pieces, the story was also great if a bit abrupt towards the end but I didn't really mind. And reactivity to things you do is IMO only second to "Alpha Protocol" albeit not dynamic like in AP but mostly decided by your choices in the intro; that's why I liked the game being short, because story-wise play-throughs were really different -- even you side with the same faction, people might react quite differently because of your previous choices. Loved the IKEA DYI spell system, found combat irritating at first but eh, got used to it. Also, if you're of the people who love playing good guys -- you cannot do that in Tyranny. You can tune your level of murderosity at best, but be a good guy? Nuh-uh. Some tips if you decide to try it: Lore is the king skill, invest almost everything into it; Don't go independent, at least not on your first playthrough -- nobody will want to talk to you and you'll have to murder your way through and it is not a good thing in this game. The dungeons (aka the Walls) suck. Brace yourself for disappointment.
  15. Based on Pelleginas feathers, I would not be surprised if deadlikes have black mist where others have hair. Nature godlikes might have thorns. And Fire godlikes could be even more dangerous. Au contraire -- letting Fire Godlike soak in the bathtub might lead to steamy encounter
  16. Hey guys who played this game. If I get level drained (settings on "restore on rest"), does the game remember what abilities/spells I picked or is it BG2 all over again? Anyway. I just can't with speed (or rather complete motherloving lack thereof) in this game. That's one of key reasons why Deadfire be like "So I just drop there real quick and oh this stuff I need is nearby, mebbe I pay it a visit since I'm in a neighbourhood anyway and oh my look at the time is it hundred hours already " and Kingmaker be like "OMG I feel like I'm playing this game for eternity! Mamma mia let me go! " (Yes, I'm just out of that dungeon with multicolor switches you have to run...ahahahah, what I am thinking, pardon -- ooze to and back multiple times. I could probably out-salt Dead Sea right now)
  17. While I'm all up for ****iing on the most overrated shooter of all times, it really wasn't that buggy on release, no? Which isn't that difficult when one is as...uncomplicated as ME2.
  18. There is a boat on the East side of Undercroft that takes you back to Queen's Berth so it's probably better to do just that instead of going up to Delver's Row and antagonizing everyone there. No idea if it fails the quest though.
  19. TGIF!
  20. I loved Fallen London, but couldn't get into Sunless Sea. Really, reeeeaallllly slooooowwwwww movement, non-intuitive UI, dropped it right after I crashed the ship while trying to steer into the port. Still planning to try it one day, it's just that games that hook me way faster keep getting in the way.
  21. How can I import this bug to Kingmaker? Moving like a legless offspring of geriatric glacier and arthritic sloth is very seriously getting on my nerves, and I'm still in Act 2. P.S.: please don't fix it please don't fix it please don't fix it
  22. Nice to know somebody else favours non-boring colour schemes.
  23. Or mayhaps it's a dulcimer? You need to use them hammer thingies on it, meaning that it matters how hard you hit it, only Benweth is so drunk hardcore he needs no stinking hammers.
  24. Sure. Best racial is ofc Death godlike! When you get close to what the french (those dirty duckers) call "the little death" you gain power levels. Or Fire godlike, if you want to spice up your minmaxing The sentence "Fire in a hole" obtaining a new meaning is this case. Really? No mention of Nature aka wood Godlike? I'm bummed you guys did not reach for such a low hanging nut so that me, who's tailing behind, get to crack it.
