Politics 2020
Skarpen is almost certainly the alt of sharp_one, or somehow we got a guy from the same place with the same beliefs and has the same beef with Gromnir. Going by the Trump supporters here only two live in the US. You can argue that US politics is world politics, but the parasocial relationship these fellas have with Trump is kind of weird. But we are grown men spending an inordinate amount of time on a videogame forum so such is to be expected.

I recall us having a similar conversation before where you conceded that government control (in the form of police enforcing property and laws I believe) was necessary for your ideology to work. Does that mean there is nothing "libertarian" about the US Libertarian Party and (most of) its fellow travelers?

Politics 2020
If you don't know, and profess the subject to be unknowable, then why are you making definitive statements? Seems to indicate a tendency of fabrication, but I guess that's to be expected. Regardless, this statement is just false. The far left is open about what it believes, often repetitively and annoyingly so, across the various ideological factions that constitute it. You only have to read a bit from The Intercept, Jacobin, Crimethinc, It's Going Down, WSWS, or one of the various tankie websites to get an idea of what everyone from the left-liberal social democrats to insurrectionary anarchists thinks about any given issue and hear a cookie cutter response what they think needs to be done. For someone who is convinced about a decades long campaign of ideological subversion by various foreign powers you've seemingly done no research into what those ideologies actually are.

The "far left" (unless using a definition so expansive anyone outside of Trump's sphere is "far left") hates Kamala Harris (a Black Indian woman) for being a prosecutor who described herself as a "top cop". I don't think they're going to respond positively to a someone of a POC, LGBT, Woman, Indigenous, Muslim, or other marginalized identity (or identities) who has beliefs in line with the Trump team. Considering your stated beliefs on a CHINESE COMMUNIST CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY AMERICA AND CUCK THE WHITE MAN THROUGH DEGENERATE ART AND UNIVERSITIES you'd think you'd have bothered to investigate what your opposition actually thinks instead of relying on youtube comments or imageboards, but I guess your light research is reserved for genocide revisionism.

Last I heard police in Minneapolis were still being paid and the supposed defund measure hasn't gone into effect yet. If this is the police trying to prove their status as essential, they're failing miserably. Just like my ex-wife.

Yup. https://www.thedailybeast.com/back-to-the-future-writer-biff-tannen-is-based-on-donald-trump Trump also was on Night Man, which for some reason I find hilarious.

I don't like Minsc.
A 20 year old game remade in a 14 year old game? Ought to be interesting. Whatever happened to BG1 in NWN2? There's been a few attempts to make BG2 in games with toolsets/modability. Last I was aware of was in Dragon Age, which probably collapsed when they actually had to play Dragon Age. Would be funny if the one that actually manages it is BG3. I guess he already hit Windspear Hills.

Honestly I can't think of many situations where a single class thief would be better than the thief multiclass or dual class options. I guess if you want to ride Assassin to that x7 multiplier, but being able to reliably hit **** and spells seems more useful when a x4 multiplier can drop a lot of enemies already. I don't think I've ever played vanilla BG lmao.

I've entertained the view and found it to be stupid. Between the attempts to excuse and deny genocide, the crying over whites being unfairly treated, and trying to redpill about the jews commies subverting this is stale **** I've seen a hundred times. You guys need to get new material instead of making inforgraphs and merchant edits.

I don't like Minsc.
Not to my knowledge, but it's been a while. @Bartimaeus Could probably tell us. There was a mod that added special kits to NPCs, like Rasheman Ranger or Bloodrager, but I can't remember it and think it's old. You can always use the keeper to make Minsc a Berserker, if I ever play again that's probably what I'd end up doing.

There wasn't a singular event or period of genocide, there are several that can be considered genocide by the coined definition of the term that occur before and after the USA emerged as a state. It seems kind of odd to deny that the long history of massacres, forced relocations, and attempts to starve out the various indigenous tribes didn't involve genocide because reservations weren't technically concentration camps, but at this point I can't say it's surprising.

There's a difference between entertaining ideas and spouting off dubious horse**** to downplay or deny genocide. I don't know what this supposed modern narrative you're going on about is, but it shouldn't be controversial to say genocide is bad even if the victims weren't saints or were even very bad. Consistently applying your argument that scalping made genocide acceptable, virtually any group of people could be considered fair game to wipe out because every group has very bad people who commonly do or have done horrific **** like forcibly sterilizing detainees or drone striking weddings.

You should quit drinking before you reveal your power level and start going on holocaust revisionism or the protocols. Americans are afraid of everything.

If we're talking about the EEs, the Legacy of Bhaal setting buffs the **** out of enemies and without summoning or an assload of buff spells or being massively overleveled and equipped your front line will collapse. It's one of the worst implementations of a hard difficultly I've seen, but it is technically the hardest and Minsc is a drain on the party for that difficulty. Personally, SCS and insane without HP bloat is my preference is where it's at and Minsc can work well enough there. Still prefer other npcs tho.

I can't wait to see how this is justified. Well given the history of the territory that now constitutes the USA, you could argue that genocide was and is integral to the American project.

I don't like Minsc.
I'll bite. Anomen is useful as a Fighter/Cleric. His usefulness slacks off and he is the most annoying companion by far, and is even more bloodthirsty and petty than the evil characters, but he's useful for a time. Minsc on the other hand gets edged out by several other martial characters who can pull his weight and do more for the party than he is able to.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
If the next update is about romance, does this mean Baldur's Gate 3 will finally implement multiplayer romances? If so, it will either be the funniest **** ever or absolutely terrifying, possibly both.

I don't like Minsc.
I usually dumped Minsc for Korgan or Anomen by the time the gang hit the bar. There's not much use in keeping around a plain ranger when you can get warriors with lots of spells or Keldorn ir Valygar in the party. Edwin was OP due to his necklace, but Aerie, Nailia, Jan, and Imoen beat him in terms of versatility so I usually ended up bringing them instead. In terms of tone, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 jump from dead serious to cheesy constantly, so Minsc does fit the game. Maybe he'll show up in Baldur's Gate 3 and a new number of players can deal with the disabled ranger.
