By peppermint liqueur you mean mint-flavoured vodka, not an ethanol-with-syrup thing, right? Would be too sweet, while if it's vodka, I'm definitely trying this some time soon. Anyway, my recent discovery: good old White Russian is also delicious if milk is hot and is just as good for sore throat as traditional hot milk-and-honey, just much, much tastier.

It applies make-up so outlandishly tacky and garish that everyone who looks at you gets stupefied on the spot, of course. After Old World Blues I cannot ever take anything "Foooorrrrbidden!" seriously and so all those forbidden things make me very happy. And I am totally playing that new cowardly rogue.

Not sure if I'm buying this. I did love adventuring with Khelgar and Neeshka (Sand can go drown in fetid overflown outhouse for all I care), but that's because Obsidian's writing chops can elevate even the troperrific pile of NWN's generic fantasy, and nothing I've seen so far of Kingmaker's writing can even remotely compare with Obsidian's. It's so bland I'm feeling they delegated that task to a neural network. Anyway, did anyone finish the game yet? I've heard that was mission impossible for quite some time.

Clickbait title, there is nothing about F4 or 76 in the thread.

And I felt in my soul I needed to post this: Totes prefer it to Bible's teachings

Neo and Robert the Bruce disagree. Oi, Neo wore trench coat and those are indeed very cool, especially when paired with sunglasses what always gives at least +1 CHA. But them's not robes.

Or you can become a horny floating skull that hits on other floating skulls like Concehault and only turn into angry skull after he rejected you, because he absolutely would. Also, "cool looking robe" is an oxymoron. They all look like you're just out of bath so the only two things that go with them are wrapped-up towel for a hat and a mask. That would be my two simple things, btw.

Who's Yoko Taro? Relative of Piko Taro?

Recommended companion: Tekehu. ...and then you have satisfactory Phalluserel Forest encounter.

"You can now eat your pet during combat to gain a temporary increased health". I betcha that's it. "Eder has left the party"

And most Sith you meet across all storylines are racist imbeciles and whole SWTOR's grandiose "Light vs Dark" shtick is more "Pushovers vs Edgelords". Bleh. Forceys are overrated, Imperial Intelligence forever.

And the thread is yet again overrun by fantasy. Time to remedy that.

Respawning ships remind me of these guys from Asterix comics: What is good, because more Asterix is never a bad thing.

You overestimate SWTOR population -- they do love their "blue=gud, red=bad" binarity (Now when I think no wonder Disney got interested in the franchise -- rigid, uncompromising dichotomy is right up Mickey's alley). And Imp side is indeed full of edgiest edgelords that ever skirted edges of the world really edgily.

Here's hoping Concelhaut's skull gets some love (and mayhap a line or two) in this expansion.

Decided to replay Fallout 3 for some reason. Do people who claim "Fallout 3 is better than NV because better exploration!" have a hard-on for abandoned subway stations? Given how much "exploration" is actually traversing those identical things.

Yeah, and the puzzle will be "Why and more importantly how the heck can you romance vampires anyway? They're undead. They multiply by biting."

Yeah, cannot be happier that bullsh!t like random permadrains to stats, abilities and stuff went down the drain. Saves me an extra-reload. Because this is what I always do and I'll eat my hat if I am alone in this. Because it's a computer game with save system and not a tabletop session. Same goes for similar idiocies like that imprisonment spell of BG2 and suchlike - "Well, crap. F9." Anyway. I wish Obsidian did a science fiction RPG. Proper science fiction, not space fantasy like "Star Wars". Alas, I remember reading somewhere that science fiction does not sell much. Like, Bioware went from light sci-fi "Mass Effect" to bombastic "Humanity f†ck yeah!" action schlock a la Mike Bay in "Mass Effect 2" and guess which one is more popular. So I'll take whatever I can get, even power heroic fantasy. I'd be none too happy -- sucks to go back to cucumbers after grapes, but I trust Obsidian not to make FR-type bland oatmeal anyway.

Yep, I always viewed him as a god of sadistic schadenfreude. Would gleefully torture some formerly privileged sod when he's down, never actually rebel against the tyrant. He's just a lowly pressure valve of Woedica's. Personally I find his kit -- kick someone who's down while resentfully licking the boots of your master -- particularly contemptible and cannot bring myself to play as a Skaenite, even though I had no problems Bleak-walking over everyone.

Do those people come from MMOGs or something? I noticed there's a mad rush through everything just to get to the maxlevel and that sweet, sweet ~@endgame@~. Which in MMOs is doing the same thing again and again and again. Me, I like leveling up. Countering the limitations with those few options you currently have is fun, keeping your soft useless low level wizard alive is fun.

My own favourite build was Beguiler/Assassin Moony with Aumaua body type, because, well -- imagine a huge brightly glowing dude trying to sneak up to someone. He was also very good at chain-charming everyone and making them fight each other so we had tons of fun in Seeker, Slayer, Survivor. Romanced Tekehu for maximum awkwardness, what with the same mum and all.

Well, you picked the most boring path (nobody wants to talk to you so you kill everything) ever and it seems to me you expected this to be a power fantasy but evil (you ain't no special investigator, you're one of many disposable legal clerks and even your new powers do not make you that special, Archons are dime a dozen) and this likely contributed to your disappointment, although I agree it kind of fizzles towards the end. Wasn't too enamored with combat (loved spell system though), but combat isn't why I play games so I'll adapt to anything if I love the story and world building...well, almost anything (hello, Witcher!). Deep Roads Old Walls were dreadful, though. All in all, for me now Deadfire = Tyranny >>> PoE, but ain't gonna fight IRL anyone over that. To each their own.

You guys are entirely too cheerful for denizens of the forum the owner of which just got gobbled up by Evil Corp. Lets bring it down a little.

VtmB is 14 yrs old? fml i didnt need to hear that. i remember getting excited for redemption cos i played the tabletop game - then getting pissed off cos a brujah shouldnt have access to all those disciplines. prob should replay VtmB when i get a chance. its fitting that a game about vampires should refuse to die. Shut up you guys. With 300+ unplayed games on GOG alone the last thing I need is yet another go at Bloodlines. It's not even half a year since last time I played it, jeez.

What ever did Gromnir do to you to warrant a parallel to the Next Iteration? Gromnir usually brings interesting and varied stuff (and never breaks character!), while the Iteration does not even have a sound argument, it has a personal grudge that it repeats ad nauseam. QED (bolded by me): Dude. I noticed. I noticed after the first 10 times you wrote that. And that's exactly why I dismiss it -- you offer personal, emotional issues and assert those are objective arguments. Furthermore, you fault Obsidian for doing their own thing instead of Ctrl+C Ctrl+V, you claim that copypasta is objectively better than doing something new, and then in the very next paragraph you accuse them for not being very creative. Right after complaining about doing something new instead of rehashing decades old idol of yours. That's...well, technically criticism alright, but is not constructive or useful at all. It's a little like criticizing your new girlfriend for not looking and behaving exactly like your ex.
