But that's Larian studios, their storylines are always super epic world-core essence changing. In DoS 1 you get to the end of time and the portal nexus of the universe at like lvl 5 as well. DoS 2 takes you to the plane of the dead at like lvl 7, and meeting the worlds most powerful beings...

Good RPG company takes good IP and then tries to make it into something its not, into one of their own games. The game becomes some weird hybrid losing the magic of the original IP and the mold it is forced into. Huge BG fan, DoS was alright, not sure if i will buy this or not.

If time is indeed static, then once your brain permanently ceases to process input, your story, your "travel through time" as interpreted by your brain, will simply begin from when it was able to process input, and you will again experience your life in an endless cycle. another option if the...

Too bad he got severe TDS and decided to defend the same kind of crooked politicians he scorned in his show when Trump pointed out how crooked inner city politicians are.

Yeah, but Macho man was the best.

well it ties in that the money for police get disappeared into the school hole, and though they COULD get the money, it wouldn't be politically advantageous to do so, and so they keep the police underfunded, despite carcetti rising to mayor by focusing on crime. it all ties into the slow death...

FIFY

the best parts of RPGs are the mid-game, high enough level to actually land hits and fight enemies tougher than basement rats, tough enough to feel like you're actually making an impact in the world, and low enough for things to not get ridiculous.

yeah dipping into a few levels of other classes will most likely be worth it on the whole, except maybe for pure casters. the game definitely gets easier as you get higher level until you hit the house at the edge of time, where the game ramps up to the extreme (at least on hard and unfair...

I remember when they first came out with Around the World and how it was playing all the time on MTV.

exactly, the joker was also a bad movie, his "origin story" was ridiculous. better to just have him being dumped in acid and go crazy as an "explanation" if people need one. him starring in some kind of bad edgy version of the King of Comedy was just... ugh.

villains aren't interesting except as a secondary character and antagonist of the hero. Once you try to make the whole thing about them, you humanize them and make them more boring unless they get a villain of their own. especially using superficial and one dimensional characters like cruella or...

Blizzard truly is a shadow of its former self.

what is the deal with this fad of making movies about villains in order to capitalize on the remains of franchises? soon we'll get to the point of them making a Mr Sykes or Ratigan movie?

it could have been almost touching to watch Tom overcome his disability trying to administer antibiotics and food to Stu as they struggle back. also how idiotic was it that instead of sending scouts out west to see what happened, Fran is like "nope! can't spare anyone! even though we just got...

finally watched the final episode to complete this mess. they skip the whole thing with Tom reviving Stu and getting back to boulder. instead they add some BS about Fran and Stu going to Nebraska on their way back to Maine, staying at some old house when Fran falls into a well and meets Flagg...

well you have to know which spells are useful long term. learn your grease, haste, web, mass enlarge, mass bull's strength and summons.

her ending of becoming a book is pretty silly too.

I think all companions had good side stories, except maybe Regongar and octavia

damn, that's already better than all D&D movies ever made.

yeah, for most story companions, you only "lose" a couple of levels before you can level them into decent classes. Regongar, Octavia, Linzi, Valerie, Amiri, Harrim, Jaethal and Tristian you get them early enough that you can specc them into something better. the only ones who are really bad out...

I guess one shouldn't be too surprised about King writing himself into his own book. whenever he's involved with a movie/TV adaptation of his works he joins in as an extra in it. ha also adds a lot of cringey scenes into TV adaptations, like the old Shining version.

yeah these days, the combined power of the internet will very likely guess the ending of your story, especially if you attract enough of a following, very quickly. people even guessed the Hodor thing long before a dance with dragons. it's like the Lost series, people guessed the "mystery" within...

I think it was all pre-planned. and people have seen Bran becoming king as a very strong possibility since the start. the only thing that seems really out of touch and kind a stupid is the way the Night King ended, way before Cersei and everything else. I think most believed the Night King would...

also the worst thing about the dark tower ending is that king KNEW it was shit when he put it out. after Susannah gets the "good ending" (and everyone else dies), he interjects in the story and basically writes "so, dear reader, why don't you just put down this book and pretend that was the real...

also, instead of continuing with this super villain portrayed in other books as having all kinds of crazy magic powers, manifesting as weird creatures and ability to travel between dimensions, let's make it into an old screeching man throwing bombs from a balcony.

the crimson king as done in insomnia was better than all the crimson king incarnations that came afterwards.

Yeah, in the book he even knows Flagg is losing it, but decides to stick with him. also the scene of him shooting glenn is completely trashed too in this version. Instead of having Flagg and Lloyd in an interrogation room with Flagg shrinking away from glenn and screeching for lloyd to help him...

Yeah him getting owned by a hastily introduced spider boy was a pretty pathetic ending for supposedly King's super villain.

so if this game is gonna have a lot of big army battles with I assume the main character, I guess one is going to have to go with a teamwork based MC for power play, and again put lots of points into persuasion.

I mean the fact that they had him fork over the ending and major plot points at the start of the project means they had a pretty good idea he wasn't gonna finish on time, possibly ever. he only has himself to blame for giving away the ending. for sure drogon melting down the iron throne, jon...

basically the big finale... the trashcan man "reveal" becomes weird because the whole interaction and storyline with trashcan has been trashed. he's supposed to take the nuke to an airplane but takes it to flagg instead because... no reason. no deeper interactions between lloyd and flagg. Lloyd...

As with most dnd style games, sorcerers are the most powerful. Especially sylvan sorcerers start out with a strong pet that helps out a lot during early levels when casters are weaker. Alchemists are pretty good overall too.

so was the rebellion crushed or is it just beginning?

Yeah divine divinity was alright as a more role play alternative to diablo at the time, but with movable objects. Kinda cluttered at times though BG2 was more restricted in terms of areas to visit, but each area was more packed with stuff and allowed for revisiting during quests, while in bg1...

almost at the end now. "the walk" episode was maybe the closest to the book so far, and overall one of the better. they completely gutted trashcans character though.

Yeah, Pillars, pathfinder and original sin games also show what stats and character background checks you need for certain dialogue options. Baldurs gate had some very rudimentary stat options, where basically if you had enough charisma you could get extra rewards in some quests.

The easiest to get into... it depends on your previous game history. Once you know the basics of Baldur's Gate, you also know the basics of Icewind dale, Neverwinter nights and Planescape torment, they are all based on basically the same DnD system. Pathfinder is also quite similar to Baldur's...

yeah the whole barony building part of pathfinder really drags down the game for me, the game time deadlines are also an annoyance. plus the first 5-6 levels are terrible, after that the game opens up. the storyline, NPC interactions and dungeon-delving are all really really solid.
