Drive around the city and the badlands until they're offered to you. Visually pleasing doesn't factor into it, none of the cars that look good handle well. Well, actually, one could say none of the cars except the Coyote handle well, but one can make due with some, and less so with others. Very much a function over form choice. You'll come around eventually, or you'll drop the racing sidequests too.

The average anime nerd wants to leer at virtual boobies and imagine themselves fondling them, and they're less interested in virtual male reproduction organs, no matter how natural it would be for them to show up. Painful, but that is what it is. After all, even in that dreadfully unfunny video that Chilloutman posted a while back they talked about anime being the last refuge of the macho, and that was a joke with more than just a small kernel of truth. TL;DR: Schlongs make you catch the gay and are too woke.

My choice of cars in Cyberpunk 2077 is as simple as it is functional. There's only one car that is the epitome of handling, speed and off-road capabilities: The Mizutani Shion "Coyote", don't leave home without it. No, seriously, all other cars just suck. A Rayfield Caliburn might be slightly faster, but handles like an old ass.

Bandwidth at least isn't an insurmountable problem. The added display and input lag on the other hand...

Huh, it looks like Animal Domain was fixed at some point and the companions really are lower in level over the course of the entire game. Is this new or did I miss a patch at some point? It's been a while since I tried a build like that, but I just tried making Lann a Zen Archer (3) / Divine Hound (1) / Judge (16) with the idea of using Everlasting Judgements with the animal companion in addition to being able to share them with the party while leveling the pet and everything else like a normal Divine Hunter Lann build (which doesn't get any teamwork feats anyway, just like a Judge doesn't), but it ends up being two levels short with Boon Companion. It's also not a problem with retraining because I tried a mercenary build and you can add exactly one level of another class that has no animal companion with Animal Domain and Boon Companion. It would still be good enough just to hop on to ride around, but there's no point in picking one level of Divine Hound. Might as well go with the usual Demonslayer.

Why would you do that? It is Ember and Nenio in the party, not either Ember or Nenio. Well, I always replace Nenio with a BFT mercenary, but that's just the cheeseball in me. Nenio is more than enough for a run on normal. It works as designed as long as enemies have regeneration, they are unkillable unless you stop it, just like trolls in (A)D&D games, like BG2 or IWD. You have an inspect feature in the game, by the way, that shows you all conditions and buffs that affect enemies, it is usually accessed by pressing 'y' and hovering over the enemy in question, but you can also click the inspect icon (magnifying glass icon in the lower row). It will also tell you which sort of damage you need to apply to stop regeneration. When it comes to electrical damage, random encounters should have given you a bunch of Shock Composite bows around the area, so turning regeneration off should work well enough with Arueshalae. Don't forget to apply Ranger's Bond, that's another AB boost for your party, and consider retraining her. If you went for a level of Vivisectionist for the mutagen, give her levels of Mutation Warrior instead, she can cast Sense Vitals anyway. Mutation Warrior will give her access to the mutagen and more feats. Right idea, wrong class. Edit: Unintuitive design/exploit that needs to be mentioned: if you have feats you want to take but do not fulfill stat point prerequisites, you cannot circumvent the requirements with limited time buffs before the level up, however, permanent buffs work. Feel free to drop a +DEX belt on your animal companions to give them the Dodge feat, for instance. The feat will still be there after removing it.

'tis the season for posting the Onyxia wipe animation, right? Warning, language.

If you don't have any points in Body, then yes, but that also depends a little on your operating system. With a Sandevistan with very low cooldown you probably can make do with just your fists, assuming you don't get bored. No investment in Body, no Sandevistan, you'll need the arms. Well, need. Technically not, but when the enemy boxers can one-shot you, the longer the fight goes on, the, ah, higher the chance for something to go sideways. With the legendary Gorilla Arms the cheapest Kerenzikov is enough to win pretty much every fight with absolutely no effort. Can also gun the psychos down to like 5% and knock them out in one hit, and the bonus to forcing doors open is nice enough. Arms look a bit weird in the cutscenes, especially during the romance with Judy, but that's something else entirely.

Go buy the legendary Gorilla Arms, you'll need them for the boxing subquests anyway, unless you want to skip them. Don't need no perks or anything to punch someone's light out with those.

Yeah, if you invest a bit in Tech and some perks dismantling everything and just crafting gear over and over again works much better than upgrading. Neither crafting nor upgrading is really necessary, not even on very hard though. Just use whatever enemies drop and you're good. Still, being able to craft legendary iconic weaponry at level can give you fun guns to play with for the entire game, like the Shingen Mark V. If you're using any quickhacks at all you need to be careful, some of them have secondary effects that destroy implants and cause real damage. Using Cyberware Malfunction on a psycho and punching them will result in their death one or two seconds after they go down, and Regina will complain your ear off.

I was talking more generally. Photo mode makes no sense to me no matter which game we're talking about, so it's all just nonsense from my point of view.

There's also a scene where the MC and Camellia drink a potion of invisibility and go at each other on the balcony of the Citadel in front of Irabeth (who comes checking what the noise is) because apparently half of that romance was written by E. L. James. edit: Romance!Cammy also gets really, really creepy with her dialogue.

Watch the real ReBoot!, not the show that for some reason was allowed to take its name. Sacriledge.

Change the gender of your MC, then you can: However, well, you can:

Ask @LadyCrimson.

Having good fun with Legend and the possible exploits you can come up with requires playing through the game normally. The metamagic exploit also works with mythic path spells in merged spellbooks, so in theory if you just slap Favorite Metamagic: Extend and Bolster on your Sorcerer, you could fill your spellbook with many of the Lich spells you get up until you switch to Legend, and they'd, well, still be in there. Lich Sorc/DD/EK to level 20 and then round out with something else that does decent melee oomph. Add 11 levels of Paladin for the supreme lolz of a Paladin casting Lich spells while killing things left and right with Grave Singer.

For fun I just started the Inevitable Excess DLC and created a level 20 Gold Dragon character. Stats are naked, without buffs and a regular +5 Fauchard. Buff properly, debuff enemies, activate Perfect Strike and Dimensional Strike and whatever he's pointed at will certainly feel enough blunt trauma to run back home to mommy and cry, and if it for some reason doesn't, there's still his ability to cast True Strike at will. I was too lazy to make more than one screenshot, he also has Shatter Defenses and Cleaving Finish and can activate all sorts of weapon enhancements through his arcane pool (also has Archmage Armor). Grave Singer would yield x5 critical hits and would probably be the better weapon for the character. Probably not exactly what Owlcat had in mind when they designed the Gold Dragon mythic path, but, like, whatever. Edit: Fun Exploit of the Day: If you get any item that grants your character spells, you can apply metamagic to them. If you then remove the item in question, the regular versions will disappear. The metamagic'ed versions will remain. You know, just in case you ever wanted Ember or your Oracle MC to have Chain Lightning.

I would not put it past a Russian 'navigational error' causing them to drill holes in the wrong pipelines, given the location of the leaks. Nord Stream AG is already complaining about sanctions making it impossible to determine the full extent of the pressure loss and repairing the damage, so that is going to be the new spin going forward, but it certainly is a downgrade in exertable pressure (edit: no pun intended, oh dear). One cannot dangle a carrot in front of a horse when it was cut off your stick, after all.

They're not, but the pipeline's still pressurized - with the loss in pressure, it's now impossible to resume deliveries even if Russia wanted to, or turn Nord Stream 2 on. Curious timing, right after the election in Italy. Crazy Russians, now they sabotaged the pipelines they used to exert political pressure so they can no longer claim they'd resume deliveries if the sanctions were dropped. Well, that's one way to potentially get Germany to commit more resources to the war, now that the bait's been cut. Huh.

I know - there've been cases of children with dark skin tones born to caucasian couples, and the inverse sometimes happens too, when black couples have perfectly white children. The former is fairly uncommon but happens somewhat regularily here (and in Germany) in areas that where occupied by the US after the second world war. Not hard to guess why. I just really doubt that was the thing the creative team was going for here.

House of the Dragon. Yeah, so the real reason they made the Velaryons black wasn't just to create a token black house, but to make sure that even the dumbest morons alive realize that... Silly musings: the Velaryons, at least the male ones, all have dreadlocks. If it is cultural appropriation by caucasians to have dreads because they are a symbol of the civil rights movement, is it okay for a noble house to have dreads, even if they're all played by PoC actors? They're certainly not the ones fighting for civil rights in a medieval/feudal setting while being feudal lords, and it is very unlikely that they ever were. *snort*

Hey look, wrong thread!

Well, they are hack frauds, and not always right. Mike's wrong on Star Trek 2009, for instance, and on Independence Day, which is glorious high production value trash. They also like Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Nobody's perfect.

Geez choom, gotta chill a little.

Hey @BruceVC, how's the party coming long, looks like you've got actual fascists ruling Italy pretty soon. Any plans to move there?
