So a PSA for this: I've been becoming increasingly annoyed with framerate and hitching problems when switching guns or ammo types that have been getting steadily worse, even on a very high-end system. After fucking around with it for a while, disabling all mods, etc, I finally found it it's...

In that case, I think we are actually in agreement and I just misunderstood you, my apologies. The show is trash, and the showrunner is making retarded changes to a good story, some of which are to satisfy his political agenda, some of which are just retarded and/or incomprehensible.

Without getting into semantic quibbles about 'mostly' vs 'majority', yeah, the majority of the fan-base are probably straight, just on the basis that the majority of everyone is straight. That doesn't mean they are self-selecting or that gays don't like the wheel of time, which you seemed to be...

While the show is definitely offensive trash for anyone who read the series, the series sold >100million copies, most of them from outside the US. It seems statistically unlikely the fanbase would be 'mostly' anything, let alone straight/white.

The wrecked space station with no gravity was pretty entertaining, getting pinballed all over the place by weapon recoil.

90% this. Those rose tinted goggles are doing a lot of work.

It certainly used to be possible - I did it with haste potions a lot early on, but I have seen the behavior you mention recently, possibly they changed how that works in one of the patches ?

Ship registration is stupid anyway, it's fair enough if you want to legally own it and use it everywhere or whatever, but stripping them for parts really shouldn't cost more than the parts are worth.

Locks seem wildly out of proportion to any associated rewards - if there is a bonus to loot quality from it being locked with a master lock, it seems to be pretty subtle. Like master lock to building, master lock to door, master lock to safe, 100 credits. Or 5 locked rooms deep is the locked...

Ok, after spending a few hours fucking around trying to create a good base, the outpost placement system is twice-pooped dogshit. You can't see outpost location or radius in scanner mode and you can't see resource locations in outpost placement mode ? What is this shit. I highly recommend...

What muppet decided that having the 'throw grenade' and 'open map' functions bound to the same key was a great idea ? Also, maybe I just have shit luck with weapons, but enemy health seems to be beyond insanity - surely I shouldn't be counting how many full magazines of ammo it takes to kill...

Pro-tip - do not install on a non-SSD. Virtually unplayable. My fault for being lazy I know, but if you don't have enough space, clear some up and save the pain ;p First impression other than that is - eh, ok. The thing I was most surprised by coming from B3 was actually how awful the talking...

Worth noting as well, the third last platform you jump down from is almost directly overhead his platform and a LONG way up. If you throw things from there they get like +30 crushing damage from the fall distance.

A minor note too - the gnolls ( and other annoying mobs ) actually do drop their consumables when you kill them, just not if they already shot them into your face. You can preemptively pickpocket them off some mobs to make fights less annoying. Mainly though - that part of the game is actually...

Are you trying to hit things with his sword ? He's much better as kind of archer, just using eldritch blast cantrip, especially if you picked up the robe of power. If you missed that one, you can probably respec him as something like paladin/lock, give him heavy armor and a shield.

You definitely want to make the next level go to rogue then spec thief - their ability is a second bonus action every round - as a monk you can use it for any of your ki powers, or just the normal bonus unarmed strike. Warrior isn't bad, but as you note, one regular attack per short rest...

If you are open hand, 9/3 is probably a better split - you lose one ASI but Ki Resonation is really strong - you basically mark things with your attacks and then can detonate them for AOE damage. Also it lets you make a martial arts attack while wielding a weapon, which is a *little*...

Was there anyone who seriously wasn't expecting skyrim in space ? That's not a bash in any way, skyrim was great fun, it's what they do, and it was wildly successful - why would you expect anything different ?

Dual hand-xbow is still amazingly good, you just don't get an extra +5 to hit on your offhand. There are a *lot* of circumstances where you can assassinate enemies from the shadows. It's not really necessary but it is fun. They are no slouch in normal 'just walked into it' combat either...

Pathfinder had an advantage in this respect in the way the AC system works - 5E deliberately eliminated that to make it less hardcore, so the whole combat system kind of falls apart if you start giving monsters +30AC and the like, because there's no actual way to min-max that. A pity though -...

Depends - were you expecting a comedy ? It's not funny at all. Were you expecting a gay romance story ? This could be your thing.

I actually ended up in that situation first run, it won't let you do it on the same character, although you can do it with a different one.

Throwzerker's main advantage over monk is frenzied throw - you can use your bonus action for extra throwing attacks on heavier than normal items and they will knock enemies prone. You get a stacking accuracy penalty each time you use it, but you are going to be swimming in accuracy and advantage...

Hey those bones are worth 1g each to a vendor..... which doesn't matter because I stole all of their stuff and their gold anyway. ... I may have a problem.

Pity, it's not like the show was the greatest thing ever, but there's an awfully long list of things I'd cancel first, even if you just count amazon shows. ( I'm looking at YOU WoT )

Whoops, double post

Bethesda games are best played after a few patches and some time for the modders to work. Diving in day 1 is like paying full price for early access. Fortunately, even if you do, there's the people who paid EXTRA for actual early access that you can sneer at for being suckers 8)

My younger self loved that - edgy powergamer fantasy setting with assorted OP nonsense like quad-wielding natural armor jump-attack insect warriors. I suspect it wouldn't hold up well to replay these days.

It's actually unusual the other way around - having a 'deluxe' release bundle that includes a 'season pass' isn't unusual these days, they are just being stingy by only including one DLC. Of course, maybe this DLC is a huge far-reaching game-changing one that adds hundreds of hours of content...

Barbarian + Tavern Brawler + really high ground is also hilarious, spears and javelins are more like cruise missiles and you automatically succeed the stealth assassination check because you are firing from outside line of sight.

Not the most min/max tactic, but berserker raging out and then hitting enemies with other enemies or throwing them for a two for one is just great fun. Occasionally allows hilarity like throwing mephits at their summoners.

Wizard can scribe any spell that he is high enough to cast ( in any class ), and keeps them between respecs. So 1 level in wizard can get you a loooot of versatility on a cleric, bard or sorcerer.

Nah man, it is literally impossible to recognize someone wearing sunglasses regardless of how well you know them.

There's been a lot of complaints from established authors that people who really like a story never go to the fiction page and thus never see any positive or negative reviews, so don't up/down vote them. This leads to negative reviews being a lot more visible than expected, because the only...

If anyone in charge at WotC has any sense, they are probably already sending over the blank cheque with 'keep doing stuff for us' written on it. I'm actually impressed at how well everything worked - giving a huge pile of cash to a beloved but relatively indie dev doesn't have a great track...

It's true, but in BG3 it is a bit different, especially for beastmaster rangers, as you don't need to spend resources to use the pet attacks. So you can have a spider spam web every turn for free, which is an absolutely disgusting amount of powerful CC

The reasoning for that from the dev convinced me - basically the way that the dark urge fucks everything up is less obvious if you didn't previously know where things were going. For an early act1 example

Sort of - not sure if you noticed, but hex is a jumpy spell, whenever you cast it on something and it dies, you get the hex back and can pass it on with a bonus action instead of casting it again. You need do concentration though. But yeah, warlocks are basically magic archers. Respec him to...

Jump - high strength barbarian can jump much further than they can run, especially if you cast jump buffs on them. Fog cloud or darkness can block their LOS, forcing them to close in.

My review of tactician so far: Ow, ow my balls. Leeroy Jenkins tactics are going to get you brutally killed, every time. If you are engaging in a fair fight, you have already lost ;p It's pretty satisfying to come up with a plan for a fight you got destroyed on and then beating it handily...
