    Bruce, are you on something?

    PoE Paladins are similar in concept to DnD Paladins, in that they are warriors with special defenses and have auras. Stats are point-buy, as they should be.
  3. PK htiw klaw eriF
    No on both counts.
  4. PK htiw klaw eriF
    No porn.

    I read the comic for a while then ditched the show. Zombies just don't do it for me.

    I can't spell "anonymous" without the aid of spell check.

    ShadySands'.

    Would bang, probably wouldn't call back.

    I find it strange that Nazi ideology has support from places where the Nazis saw inhabitants as sub-human. Then again, the extreme right has never been the sharpest bunch.

    In BG2, you can easily micromanage by turning off the AI and selecting evey autopause option. If you're trying to micromanage using only the spacebar, you're going to have a devil of a time.

    I voted for Obama so we could get 1000 years of darkness. I'm disappointed.

    Will be interesting to see if far-right influences cause any damage to Ukraine.

    This doesn't make me want to play a Wizard or Druid, but I may have to Adventurer's Hall one if there isn't a NPC of either class. Paladins are still better though.

    A good NPC is useful, and a good RPG has enough NPCs to fill roles that the PC isn't built for. A good NPC isn't so absurdly powerful that a PC filling a similar role is a waste, nor so badly built the PC has to fill the role in order to have a decent [insert role] in the party.

    Conversely, are there any classes you don't like the flavor of?

    I liked the IE combat in spite of the mechanics. They just don't work well outside of PnP. PoE will hopefully provide tactical RTwP combat with a ruleset that doesn't require one specfic strategy in a given situation.

    You have a meth habit?
  18. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Like everything else in the world, I'm sure it's somehow the fault of the US.

    The problem is as you said, they have to balance encounters for either a pre-buffing party or a non-pre-buffing party. If attempted to be somewhere in the middle, the game will reward save scumming rather than tactical expertise. As of now, this is a non-issue because ability pre-buffs will not be implemented. I highly doubt that item pre-buffs will either, as that would sort of defeat the stated reason of not having spell pre-buffs. It depends on PnP. The GM is sitting right there, so spending a few minutes casting spells is likely not a valid option in most situations. Take Firkraag in BG2 for example. A common strategy is to hide in the fog of war, summoning creatures and casting buff spells. This is a valid strategy in BG2, but in PnP would result in Firkraag looking 100ft ahead and unleashing his breath attack on the party.

    I prefer BP's tacical componets to SCS. Not only does it take this time to install, but the AI sill makes some mistakes, which seems more natural to me. I also feel that pre-buffing itself is pretty cheesy, and am glad it will not be in PoE.

    I ran into my ex today, took evasive action. Going to sit through todays lectures, then head off to a nice pub and drown my troubles in whiskey and stout. Oh, and the day I planned on goin to SXSW, some dude drove his car into a crowd.

    Ideally, the only limits on speech would be on those that would cause physical harm, such as yelling "Fire!" in a theater. Anything else should be fair game, even if some find it offensive. If you think it is fine to censor an opposing viewpoint, you have strong authoritarian leanings and little value for free speech. As to this Ban Bossy thing, I see no evidence of the phenomenon existing other than ancedotal remarks. Therefore, it is nothing more than the usual suspects making noise while far more pressing concerns exist. Of course, addresing those concerns would mean paying $20 for an Ipad.

    Perhaps this belongs in the Blasphemous thread, but I believe that BG2 would have been better if structured more like New Vegas. I think a plot revolving around the various factions in Amn making power plays would have been more interesting than Irenicus' storyline. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to have the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, the Cowled Wizards, the Shadow Thieves, and a few other guilds competing for power. I also would've preferred Irenicus portrayed as someone who pursues knowledge for the sake of knowledge and has lost his humanity through years of being alone studying rather than the lost love interpretation in BG2. That would make him more sympathetic IMO. I agree. Too much brandy?
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    No can do. For some reason, BG2 shoves rose-tinted glasses on some people. As such, they can not see faults in BG2 that they criticize other games for having.

    Already covered that Volo.
