This is at least the fifth time in a row Bethesda released a buggy piece of **** modders need to fix to become halfway stable. They will absolutely not bother fixing it because they know they'll still get sales from people counting on mods to fix it or those who have been conditioned to sadomasochistically enjoy a mediocre at best game that crashes every five minutes. If you're the later, just convince your significant other to step on you or something.

Rested twice in a row and ended up meeting my guardian again, who was under attack by some ninjas. Yeah, I liked the balance of ruined temple and dark magic architecture a lot and 2 of the 3 individual challenges were fun, as was the fight in the silenced room. Unfortunately not, Harpers have been consistently dumb in every fight they've helped in. The one that takes the cake is when you first come out of the Underdark and have to fight shadows for the first time, the harper archer ran outside of the light and got turned into an undead.

I'm out of Act 2. Raided a mausoleum/gauntlet of Shar, saved a prisoner, resisted the imp butler's recommendations, and raided Moonlight Towers. Thots -Gauntlet of Shar is a very good dungeon. I did like the ruined architecture and the Sharran challenges were nice. Also I killed a whole party with Persuasion again lmao. -The hardest fight in Moonlight Towers was in the front door and by Selune the Harpers are dumb as ****. It was funny though, my Bard's hypnotism got counterspelled and then Gale immediately threw one and cc'd the bulk of enemy forces. -Swords Bard with Hand Crossbows is broken as hell. Combine it with an elixir of bloodlust and Cull the Weak and you can reliably use your bonus action to get an additional action, which you can use 4x Slashing Flourish with for a grand total of 8 attacks with a bonus d8 or d10 each. Hits like a truck in melee too.

The extra attack and level 5 spells are truly game changers. It's a shame the Rogue gets screwed on that front. No, I think the Spectator is meant for level 5 or 6 parties.

Look it'd be one thing if this was a lofi game or something but if you're saying stuff like "the game runs fine, it's your computer that's the problem" and the characters look like a badly animated thing someone made while drunk then you should get roasted over that. Tears of the Kingdom has better looking characters and it's on Nintendo Switch. But even all that aside, it's an intentionally boring game with janky ass gameplay. **** that.

Greasy Basil has nothing on JK Simmons mocking you. Sad!
-
BG3 automatically wins game of the century because it has JK Simmons. JA3 can't compete.
-
I wouldn't compare BG3 to Starfield on a lot of stuff, but what they can be compared on (like voice acting or animations) BG3 absolutely beats Starfield. The conversations/facial animations looked like they'd fit in a vanilla New Vegas or Skyrim and some random goblins reacting to Quentin Tarantino's guest writing is more memorable than anything I've seen from Starfield. Mediocre.

I explored more of moonrise towers, explored the town outside moonrise and killed the three siblings with dialogue, got jumped by Githyanki, and helped reunite the spirit of nature for the area. Halsin's joined the gang officially and despite being jacked he's got 10 Strength, I guess he uses animal stats when shifted so that's not a big deal but it's a little weird. Spoilers for Dark Urge
-
I watched some gameplay and want a refund for that time. The facial animations are shockingly bad, bad for 10 years ago tier, and it's baffling that it got a pass to release like that. They're probably banking on modders to fix it for them, along with the performance issues and everything else. Everything else looked like what you'd expect from Elder Scrolls with Guns and also in Spayyyce, Bethesdajank that was old over a decade ago with some **** space travel tacked on for you to poke around planet sized BG1 wilderness areas. This game is the Tom Hanks live action pinocchio movie of cRPGs.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Bartimaeus's topic in Way Off-Topic
Live Action One Piece. It's an overwhelmingly silly show that does absurd anime **** like move callouts and somehow it works. I guess after seeing so many superhero things that were ashamed to be based on funnybooks and silly costumes, it was funny to see a show just roll with the absurdity. CGI looks like ****, par for the course. -
I went to a shadowy ****hole, saved some harpers, saved some harpers again, led an ambush where I saved harpers a third time, and "infiltrated" the evil cult base by walking in the front door. Thots -Swords Bard is too good. He's close to or even beats the three martials in terms of damage, has some great cc and utility spells, and is able to pass most checks with Guidance. The result of this is that I end up burning through all the companions' resources while my main still has most of his slots. -I like the design of the shadow cursed lands, it's very creepy and dark in a way that let's you forget it's in eternal afternoon. -I think I've got the Dark Urge figured out, thanks to some encounters (spoilers and speculation ahoy)
-
Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the pancetta out of financial needs. The zozzona looks very good, it's like a hybrid of carbonora and all'amatricana right?
-
Where did you get the cheek? I usually settle for pancetta because I can find it easily, the only options for guanciale are ordering and it's prohibitively expensive.
-
I'm finished with the underdark and ready to hit the shadow cursed lands, which I have been repeatedly told are a very bad place. I saved some gnomes from slavery, picked up an amulet that tries to make me laugh, and made some adamantine armor for my bard and Karlach. The fights are generally easier because Swords bard has some very high potential burst damage coupled with hypnotism, but that forge golem was bull****.

Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Chairchucker's topic in Way Off-Topic
Mean Streets (1973) It's got a low budget charm to it that most of Scorsese's other films don't, for obvious reasons. In a lot of ways it feels almost....homey. There's no grand heist schemes or years-long saga that some of Scorsese's other gangster pictures have, this takes place over maybe a week and the big conflict that erupts is something that would have been a footnote in Goodfellas. I won't say that's better than the larger sagas Scorsese directed, but it is interesting to see more small scale crime dramas. -
Apparently Paladin is the most played class for custom characters with Fighter being in the middle of the pack. I didn't expect that. The tournament arc is the unfortunate end towards of almost every narrative. But also clickbait for articles and youtube videos.

I uhh, did not know about manual turn based for quite a while into the game when I tried to do some prebuffs before an ambush. The day/night stuff and lack of weather effects does bother me a lot, I'm in the Underdark now and it's a refreshing break to what has been mostly a very bright and sunny experience. It's also kind of weird because there is a subclass based around storms and another around darkness (as well as a vampire spawn and a Shar worshipper as companions), so you'd think they'd throw them a bone and let them play in the rain or night. I think that there is less of it and it does move faster than PoE/2, which tended to be a very slow games due to several factors (especially Deadfire). I think of all the time I've spent in the game maybe 20% has been in combat. It may be, but if you cool her down (I used water, but maybe cold damage stuff could work too) she does have some extra dialogue after that. Findom. I think Lae'zel drastically overestimates her own and the Githyanki's generally competence and power so when she calls you ugly she's trying to "neg" you and dominate. If it comes across as awkward and unpleasant then that's inline with real life. For my party Karlach told me to have fun, Astarion wanted to ****, Lae'zel wanted to **** Astarion, Gale told me Shadowheart was a special lady and also hit on me, Wyll wanted to brood, and Shadowheart wanted to get drunk. Alfira's blood is still on the ground from that time the urge murdered her and the imp butler has been a no show lately.
-
I think that my biggest issue with BG3 is the lack of a pause button. The second would be lack of a day/night cycle and time only passing with Long Rests. It's a pretty staggering thing that's missing from a game that's otherwise unusually reactive. Baa.
-
Throw some water at her. You naughty Lae'zel
-
I think it makes sense for Astarion and Karlach to be very horny, they did spend a very long time not being able to do.....well anything really. Gale, Lae'zel, and Wyll are excessively horny though, of those maybe Gale has a reason to be because he's got another looming death besides the tadpole that should be turning him into a tentacle monster. Shadowheart is the most normal among the group, and when....well I won't spoil anything but that should be a big alarm.

I explored the underdark, helped some mushroom people with an evil dwarf problem, killed an evil mushroom guy, climbed a tree, met a nice mindflayer, and ran away from a wizard tower. So far the Underdark feels easier than the mountain pass (well Githyanki creche) and Auntie Ethel's hut. There is a lot more here though, the mountain pass is essentials just Lae'zel's quest and a fight with some undead while the Underdark feels like half of the first map in terms of things to do. The exploding or toxic mushrooms are bull****.
