IT. TN is right about it, the portrayal of the kids fear hit more than any jump scare and the unsettling moments hit harder than any creature bits. That said Pennywise felt genuinely creepy and inhuman, which is good considering it's an alien entity along the lines of a Lovecraftian nightmare and not just a killer clown or whatever. If anything I think Pennywise should have gotten a bit more screen time, not to downplay the creatures but maybe have shown him terrorize kids besides Patrick and Georgie or torment the Losers in other ways. The only real negative I have is the ambiguous fate of Henry Bowers and his gang, to spoil a three decade old book, Henry survives and the murders are pinned on him while all his friends die. With Belch and Victor apparently left alive I wonder if they're going to show up in the almost certain Part 2 or if Henry died and they'll have to find another guy to do IT's dirty work after 27 years. This was the only real sloppy thing and an offhand mention of how Henry got blamed for the murders and was sent off or confirmation of his death would have been nice and easy to fit in the ending.

Request: Non-binary player character
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to mandolini's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Well on a few percent of people identify as dwarves so it's not worth pandering to them. The silent majority identify as humans so, really, we should get rid of all other races. Someone got Pretty Angry over people telling the blunt truth it appears. And the Blunt Truth is that non-human races are played at much lower rates than humans in rpgs. Since few players choose to play as Orlans or Dwarves why should we not get rid of the option 10% will use for a better expereince for the 90%? You want those races removed ? Why not?

Why aren't there...questions about specific RPG classes
Because Healers need to do starting strength and gomad. Why are Mages in D&D and similar games almost always less combat proficient than Priests in terms of hitting, taking hits? I don't see how reading books all day somehow makes you worse at fighting than learning prayers and whatever else Priests do barring Priests of war gods and ****. Mechanically Priests seem to have similar spell progression and spell power as well so it's not like they're lacking there and need to make up for it by being better with weapons.

I think liberalism world wide is quite different than classical liberalism. Classical liberalism seems to have been replaced by global neo-liberalism, what gets called liberalism now is mostly just social liberalism. But I'm not sure how American liberalism differs from say European liberalism. There is no social democrat presence in America aside from maybe Bernie Sanders, while there is some in Europe with Melenchon and Corbyn. Thus American liberalism or neo-liberalism with rainbows is the supposed left contrast to conservative liberalism or neo-liberalism with Jesus.

Which RPG-story would you like to rewrite?
Baldur's Gate 2 The problems are with no evil path and no good option to get to Spellhold. Namely I'd change interactions and ot with Irenicus to allow a path that allows you to side with him and unlock the power of Bhaal. I'd also provide at least one more option to side with some knights or whatever to shut down the Shadow Thieves. This would involve changing Bodhi from Irenicus' sister to just a very powerful vampire and signifigantly changing Irenicus' motivations, but it'd be worth it. Oh and Imoen wouldn't suddenly be revealed to be your sister. ToB would feature more narrative and less hack n slash with the 5 becoming 4 to avoid that begining fight.

And both points would be wrong since Gary Johnson isn't a Republican and doesn't smoke weed! He eats it... Well that's reason enough to strip in protest.

He stripped because he thought Gary Johnson was a republican who smoked weed and not a libertarian.

What is the difference between these chaps and the Black Bloc protesters? It seems to me that Antifa is kind of like Alt-Right, in that there are numerous groups that claim to be a part of it, some much worse than others. It also seems rather disorganized. Black Bloc is a tactic from the 80's, antifa is from 20's-30's Europe where fascists started getting into the government and leftists started fighting them. Today black bloc is the preferred tactic of the left and antifa is a catchall term for protesting reactionaries or part of a deep-state conspiracy to attack WoD.
