They should try something like Rifts, so I can shoot down vampires with a plasma rifle. Preferably have some Heroes Unlimited influence as well.- The Weak & Unimagined Undead in Modern RPGs

On the other hand, being a dentist is one of the most disgusting jobs I can imagine with that level of education. (Also, materials don't come cheaply.) I advise anyone who thinks that to try their hand in a couple of criminal and child custody cases and the coming back here to tell me that.* *I'm not advising practicing without a license I would say gynecologist is worse. Having to examine one who is obese and doesn't clean properly is quote disgusting. Granted, my knowledge is second-hand experience from being related to someone in that distinguished profession.- Don't go too epic - save something for the sequels
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I really liked being able to play through BG 1&2 with the same PC. If using the BGT mod, I'm fine with it. However importing from vanilla BG to vanilla BG2 leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Weapon proficiency has changed from a group of weapons to a single weapon, Mastery has been nerfed quite a bit, and the inclusion of kits that were not available in the original makes me feel that I'm not so much as importing a character as creating a new one. I don't see the point in importing a previous character if the mechanics change enough to warrant going through character creation again. IMO, it is better to tie up the PC's story using MotB-like expansions than doing a sequel.- Don't go too epic - save something for the sequels
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think the sequel should feature a new PC. The expansion(s) should cover high-level gameplay.- What you did today
I was shooting for more ancedotal. Today i'm doing a little bit of work, then going to go jogging.- How Is Chris Avellone able to do all this?
Chris Avellone is a conduit for an extra-dimensional energy source known as the Speed Force.- point buy or roll for stats?
I could tune encounters to make it easier, but quite a bit of encounters I create rely on traps and environmental factors as well. Also, I don't like toning down things myself. Another reason I like pointbuy is that you don't end up with characters that have huge power gaps between them. For example, in the first D&D game I played, I rolled a Paladin with 16 Str 12 Dex 15 Con 10 Int 15 Wis 17 Charisma while my friend rolled a Rogue with 8 Str 16 Dex 10 Con 10 Int 8 Wis 7 Cha. In almost all combat scenarios, he would be killed quickly due to having **** stats while I would end up shining quite a bit. YMMV, but I personally don't like playing games where one player has a superior character simply because he got lucky rolling 4 dice 6 times. As for gaming the system, that will be true of almost any system. I find the best way to avoid that is to play with people who don't like gaming the system. GURPS has always been a pointbuy. Granted, those points are the resource for everything, so overpumping on stats means you won't have many skills or advantages. It works better for futuristic settings than magical ones.- What you did today
Feels weird not to be hungover on January 1st. I spent the day searching for a new apartment and getting calls about what I want to do for my birthday. I knew a girl who looked somewhat like that. Last i heard she got pregnant.- Dragon Age: Inquisition
It's actually the backup video we made for PAX in case the live demo ended up going to absolute **** and couldn't be done. Every time alanshu posts, DA# will have another bug.- The Funny Things Thread.

Has Bioware hired Christine Sims yet? @Nonek That is true of pretty much all video games. @Monte Carlo Tales of Love Electronic.- point buy or roll for stats?
For me, it largely depends on the group I'm playing with and the system we are using. For low-power games focused almost solely on role-playing and with easier encounters I prefer rolling, while for games with mid to high power with challenging encounters and players who have specific concepts already in mind I prefer pointbuy. These days, it is mostly pointbuy because I'm largely playing Pathfinder and GURPS and I design combat encounters to be pretty brutal.- The Weak & Unimagined Undead in Modern RPGs
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Luridis's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Curses! I've been saving up thought-power all YEAR for that plan! It was to be my masterpiece! Now I am ruined! RUINED I say! T_T (We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.) How do you exercise ghosts/spirits? Is there like a workout routine for the undead like Zombie Zumba or something? I hear pilates work wonders.- Movies you've seen recently
I now have an image of Lucas sodomising Darth Vader while James Earl Jones yells "stop". Not very plesant.- New Year Resolutions
I resolve to post more beautiful women, bring my GPA up, and find a better apartment.- What to have in this RPG game
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to vonbee5040's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The only time people used Multiplayer in BG was when they wanted a custom party. I don't think this game is for you.- New Year Resolutions
So essentially be a little less English?- Corruption
No. I prefer companions not to be so weak-willed they abandon all principles because some guy they've known for a month tells them to. This goes for both corruption and redemption. Isn't adolescent power fantasy pretty much a given when you can play a wizard who rips reality to shreds? Granted, it becomes less impressive if almost everyone can do it, even though Mage-philes will probably whine that every one gets special powers so Mages aren't special anymore.
