Paradox has two different teams working on two different DLCs for Stellaris, apparently. Still can't understand how that's profitable. *Buys all the DLC* price and number of dlc is not the problem but player endless tolerance of paradox incompetence are too many still pretend paradox are a tiny studio barely kept alive by small group of fanatic player but ck2 eu4 and stellaris are too successful to keep giving paradox excuses of low budget jank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, though I played most of the game in co-op (built a magnificent tower solo*). I really liked the climbing mechanic - almost every surface outside dungeons could be climbed freely. Also the exploration and base-building were very nice. Spoiler And a much more magnificent tower in co-op: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agiel Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 @Wormerine 1 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilloutman Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 is there a car humping another car in that pic or is it just me? xD 3 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

Hawke64 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Quote [The mod] uses OpenAI's large language model ChatGPT to generate responses, xVASynth for text-to-speech so the NPCs can be fully voiced, and Whisper for speech-to-text, so players can speak into their mic and the NPCs can understand them. https://www.pcgamer.com/modder-wires-chatgpt-into-skyrim-vr-so-npcs-can-roleplay-and-remember-past-conversations/ While it has limitations, an AI model trained on controlled and contained data might provide a higher variety of appropriate responses and make the social interactions with NPC feel more immersive.

Gorgon Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I dunno, I don't think it carried from your session While mudcrabs may not be conventionally attractive creatures, they play an important role in their ecosystem. In the real world, they serve as prey for larger animals, and help to keep waterways clean by consuming decaying organic matter. In the Elder Scrolls games, mudcrabs provide a challenge for players and can be a valuable source of resources. It's important to remember that all creatures have a purpose in the world, even if they may not be pleasing to the eye. 1 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Gorgon Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I asked for Morrowind NPC dialouge. You get what you ask for, it's... pretty terrible "Greetings, traveler. Have you come seeking knowledge? Or perhaps you're looking to trade? Either way, I'm happy to oblige. Just be warned, the roads of Vvardenfell can be dangerous for the unwary. Many dangers lurk in the ash wastes, and there are creatures that even the most skilled warrior would be wise to avoid." "Ah, it's good to see a friendly face. I've been on the road for weeks, and I'm getting tired of these blasted blight storms. It's a harsh land, this Vvardenfell, but there's something about it that keeps drawing me back. Perhaps it's the challenge, or maybe it's the thrill of exploration. Whatever it is, I can't seem to stay away." "I see you're carrying some interesting artifacts there. Care to trade? I have some rare books and scrolls that might interest you. Or if you're looking for something more practical, I have a selection of enchanted weapons and armor. Of course, such things don't come cheap. But then again, neither does survival in this land. It's a dangerous world out there, my friend. Best be prepared." 2 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
