My interest for Barrel's Gate 3 went up when I learnt all the good companions arrive in act 2.

Well, we don’t know when exactly 4 companions become companions. In the only bit from act2 that has been revealed two of the confirmed companions were still NPCs. Perhaps they will join our party in act2 - but they also might not until later.

I was skimming some of that Path of Exile dev. showcase yesterday, when I noticed that gold now drops as loot. So now there will be gold coins as one of the many currencies? 

I wonder what you will end up using it for. As well as why they felt it was necessary when POE-1 never had a need for it/I never missed that it didn't exist. I'm not against it or anything - I'm not likely to even play PoE2 - but I am just curious.  🤔

Did we talk about the Ubisoft haptic shirt that lets you feel it when you get gut punched in game?

Is that real? I already see it as their new DRM, which will “punch” you in the guts, every time it makes a false positive 🤷‍♂️

https://www.eurogamer.net/theres-an-official-assassins-creed-mirage-haptic-gaming-suit-on-the-way

"Haptics firm Owo's Mirage-themed tie-in has been created in partnership with Ubisoft and looks something like an extremely snug short-sleeved shirt, albeit packaged alongside various bits of hardware. While wearing one, players can experience "multiple different sensations" that reflect those of Assassin's Creed Mirage's protagonist Basim.
Owo says these "sensations" will include the likes of "impacts and parkour", with the standard version of the haptic suit able to mimic 30 different sensations, including "axe", "insect bites", "severe abdominal wound", and "ball"."

https://owogame.com/owo-skin-acm/

It does sound interesting and unusual. Though, so do VR helmets and I still don't have one. The only drawbacks I can see is how many games would adequately support it to make having this hardware meaningful, otherwise, $500 seems a bit too much for one game (granted, I would have purchased it if I had enough disposable income and it was not Assassin's Creed/Ubisoft; Mirror's Edge or Mass Effect/EA would be fine).

Hmm, seems to me, that Ubi wants to appease the BDSM crowd 😛 Man would say the endless grinding in the AC games by which they want to force you to use UbiShop, is big enough punishment, but yeah, some might really call it an QoL improvememt 😁

You know there is a police officer somewhere thinking "I can get suspects beaten up without physically touching them, by leaving them in the interrogation room and playing assassin's creed in the break room... badly?"

 

So many applications in the torture business.

"Stop playing! I'll talk! Just stop playing assassin's creed!"

"The haptic shirt works!"

"Haptic shirt? It's painful watching you play this badly. You suck."

No real spoilers, just reddit's tag. BG3 related.

 

Ok, that pig down the ladder animation is gold. I don't whom the player is controlling, but it gives me an impression that pathfinding bug which made followers run up and down the ladders throughout EA, might still not be purged.

I'm glad Larian is continuing to at least play into my theory of the Baldur's Gate series essentially being an elaborate mind flayer alien invasion plot in the vein of the X-Files. It's the least they could do after making the game turn-based.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
