Thinking about quiting my job and going full time at university. I'm 22 and am only halfway to my BA, and I think I can finish it up in 2 years if I'm not working 30 hours a week. Any advice? Today I did an hour of cardio, going to do a paper and read Volume 3 of The Boys or play some RPG.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Jigawatts's topic in Computer and Console
I think so, but not enough to justify paying $15 more. Pros: 1.UI was easier to navigate, and had more detailed information 2.It is possible to have an all-evil party in BG2 without using mods or more than one player-generated character, and there is a thief that progresses as a thief other than Yoshimo or Jan Jansen 3.It looks better than BG2 with a widescreen mod 4.Grand Mastery is more balanced than Vanilla BG2 GM or True Grand Mastery GM. Cons: 1.(BGEE)Mods that alter equipment stats(such as the "rebalanced weapon proficiency" component of BG2 Tweaks) don't work. When installed, the descriptions are dialogue from the game rather than an accurate description of the item 2.(Subjective and likely controversial)I would have preferred using the 3.5 ruleset rather than 2E 3.Kits and items seem to be pretty unbalanced 4.The new content that I've played(haven't gotten around to the BG2EE stuff yet) is around the quality of some of the better quest mods, but can feel pretty jarring, particularly Neira 5.Portraits included in BGEE aren't in BG2EE Constructive feedback: 1.The weapon styles should be improved(except maybe for TWF). Two-Handed and Single-Weapon style are too front-loaded and Sword&Shield style is too weak after BGEE. I think the second * should increase benefits by roughly 75% and that S&S should provide a universal AC bonus and/or damage resistance. 2.There should be at least two +5(+6 for 2-handers) weapons of each type in the game. Holy Swords(Carsomyr and Purifier) should deal that extra damage against all Evil foes, not just the Chaotic Evil ones. 3.There should be more quests that don't involve new companions. -
Paladins and stats
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Judicator's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Paladins FTW! Actually, Rogue as a high-damage class is how it was in 3e, where sneak attack would boost the hell out of damage output. Fighters will probably have higher base damage, and Paladins, Barbarians, and Ciphers won't be too far away. PoE Paladins also have great defenses. So why they may not be able to hit as hard as a fighter, they can laugh at spells that would demolish fighters. -
Bad as in "evil" or bad as in "harmful to you"?

How about using that nifty "Ignore" option? Getting into tangent wars probably isn't the best use of your time. -

Paladins and stats
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Judicator's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
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. -
No on both counts.

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

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.

Infinity engine question
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to khalil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
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.

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.
