What are you Playing Now? - Games don't make you violent, lag does
Sarex replied to Wormerine's topic in Computer and Console
There is TB and than there is Larian's TB. I don't mind TB combat, but I really dislike his approach to it. -
Updating the bios is simple enough, although it does pose a certain risk of bricking your laptop, so be warned. Never happened to me, but better to be aware of the risks. As for the bios itself, you can always register and try asking for someone to provide you with the unlocked version. It's a simple enough thing for people who know how to do it.

You will probably need to find an unlocked bios. There are modding communities that upload bios images that have all the hidden settings unlocked.

Did not know that.

Normal, the one below core.

2/3 is to much, but the whole game could have been reduced by 1/3 to 1/4 across the board. BG was not 220 hours long...

I'm not sure if you are including questlines in encounters, but I would. Than again it's a big question mark if having more time would equal more quality. I'm pretty sure that there is nothing much that could be done around the art style/environment graphics, as they probably don't have the people capable of it. I still wish they would go for true isometric like PoE. Combat encounters would become better by the simple fact that there would be less of them and thus less repetition. Not even counting the extra time for polish and new ideas. What they could change, and I think this would make a huge difference to the player experience, is make the environment more reactive to player actions and the story. A simple example is having different versions of Drezen throughout the story, or if you rebuild or destroy some location it's actually presented as such. This was a big let down in Kingmaker for me too, especially considering how building was a big part of it. Apart from the above, the dialogue could also use some work, or to be more precise, the alignment dialogues are horrific (literally in some cases).

I personally liked the difficulty curve, early on every fight needed thinking and later in the game you just steamroll the trashmobs. My complaint is that the boss fights are not hard enough, or to be more precise certain boss fights along the main quest line (the optional bosses are great). I do understand why they did it, as they want people to finish the game and these type of games already have low percentage of people who do that anyways. I will not say anything bad about the mini game on the world map because for all it's faults it's still in another dimension compared to what you were forced to go through in Kingmaker... My "complaint" is that the game is too long, which is not to say that I didn't like the amount of content, but I feel like they could have improved a lot of things by spending less time on quantity and more on quality.

It's coming out earlier than the original date. Because of Starfield. -
With mods. I used toybox.

Yep. You will get spawning enemies, but you need to capture forts too. I just locked the crusade morale.

I think they picked the wrong...excuse the pun...forum for that. I doubt anyone of that age is hanging out in forums. -

I don't think it's even (only) that. What memes can you even make with their offered "themes". They should have left it open and the mods could have done the pruning if needed. -
No. But then again that goes for 90% of stuff posted here.

Chechen troops going in to Russia to fight against Russian separatist. We have come full circle. If this whole sordid affair wasn't sad it would be funny...

For all it's faults SimCity was a better game. I found myself getting bored with C:Skyline as there is no challenge to it, hopefully they add a game to the city builder simulation with the sequel. -
