    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I think it's absurd that we've got people posting desperately defending this game next to the people posting about the dozens of bugs you have to actively avoid to prevent breaking your save. Is the contradiction there really that hard to see?

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Honestly I wouldn't put it in the "utter dogshit" category (I regret the money I spent on POE more than I regret the money I spent on ME3, and neither game is a complete failure). Definitely the worst of the series even without the ending, but ME2 is just too damn short. It is, for the most...

    Archer

    Yeah it's possible if they'd kept the original group together it could have recovered to a degree, but honestly, the show dove off the deep end with the whole Chang takeover plotline in S3. They lost me when they went from "quirky but mostly realistic for a TV show" to a straight up weird...

    My new Dating Pool

    Terrible advice: fentanyl is super easy to OD on, lasts like an hour so it's impossible to sleep because you wake up dopesick every 2 hours, and the high itself sucks balls (or more accurately, doesn't really exist - you get sedation, painkilling, itchiness etc. but there's no psychological...

    Lumie was right

    17 is age of consent here, in (as long as I never have to talk to her again, teenage girls were annoying enough to deal with when I was a teenager). But yeah I read about that old cure thing, it's interesting. Makes you wonder if it's random chance or some weird proto-science some medieval...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    Far left seems normal to me, next could stand to lose a few kilos but mostly I think just has slightly disproportionately chunky thighs compared to her other body, #3 is impossible to judge because she's in that thick jacket, and #4 is straight up fatty. I'd still fuck them all, and I'd admit...

    Planet Fitness loves trannys

    We don't have them here but reading this thread I'm 99% sure that the answer is yes.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    I know it's been said over and over, but Origin is painfully retarded. I did 90% of an ME2 playthrough last year, decided to finish it off a week or two back, wanted to give ME3 another shot with all the DLC's (I had none of them the first time, not even the extended ending), so I go to the...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    There's a huge difference between realtime and turn based, no matter how often you have to pause. Although given how clunky the combat feels, turn based might have actually smoothed it out. I don't have an inherent problem with turn based RPG's, but I've yet to play one (except for the old...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I dunno, I thought the plaque's were stupid, but they were no worse than some of the tombstone epitaphs in BG1/2, and as he said, you can just not click on them. They're mostly annoying because of how many of them there are.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah maybe, but PS:T was dark because of the subject matter, and because of the New-Weird style Planescape setting, it wasn't just trees hung with rotten corpses and fantasy characters who say "fuck" a lot.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I'm saying that, as someone who's childhood gaming experience was defined by the Baldurs Gate series (alongside Diablo 1/2 and the lesser known Lords of Magic) and so falls into the core target market for this game, it is absolutely not an 8.9/10 (metacritic userbase) or 9.3/10 (Steam userbase)...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I'm not expressing my "full commentary about the gameplay," I'm referring to the shitty experience of playing the wizard class in general, and specifically because of the limitation on resting preventing the wizard actually doing what they're supposed to do - cast spells. Neg. I've lost count of...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    It's not about balance, it's about gameplay. When I roll a wizard as my main character (and end up with a second one as my first party member) and he/they spends most fights autoattacking with his wand after dropping 2 shitty, short range, per-encounter AOE's because I have to choose between...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah I actually like the look of the druid - reminds me of the Vanguard druid - less hippy tree huggy heal bot, more tear your ass open with lightning and thorns and claws. (interestingly, the made a similar change in the IWDEE by adding a ton of offensive spells to the druid, but most of them...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Honestly, I never played the original IWD - I skipped it over back in the day when I found out it had no major storyline or NPC party members ala. BG series, but the EE was only $20 and came out just as I was in my DA:I midgame burnout, and with the updated resolution and the new spells/kits...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    This is the first time I'd fought any of his guards, so even if I capped it after a single kill, I should have gotten 'some' XP. Also doesn't explain the trap thing (had the same thing happen with quests, where the XP in the log doesn't match up to what my party gets). Also, that's a retarded...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Is the XP bugged? The rate at which my characters gain XP seems completely randomized. Sometimes I'll kill level appropriate mobs and get absolutely no XP at all (ie. just killed a group of 5 guards in Raedric's Castle at level 3 and didn't get a single point of XP), sometimes some mobs in...

    Archer

    Absolutely, 100% Community S4. Archer S5 was a pretty low point for a series which started out amazing and otherwise managed to keep it together mostly, but Community S4 was show destroying. There's no recovering from what they've done to that show. As has been said, it was like watching a...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I just thought it was kinda weird because crack played a pretty big role in The Corner from what I remember, and that show was basically The Wire's predecessor. I know H has had a resurgence in the US, but that was only after they cracked down on pharmaceuticals a few years back, whereas The...

    Squirting Is Just Peeing, Say Scientists

    Nah, you trim the pubes short but leave them there, then shave the balls. Completely shaven is uncomfortable and too much work, and yeah looks kinda weird, but trimming makes it look bigger and tidier, and shaving balls is just plain considerate.

    Squirting Is Just Peeing, Say Scientists

    If you can get an afro going with your pubes you need to have some consideration - I don't care who you bang, nobody likes a jungle down there. At least trim that shit.

    Wouldn't the blow dryer would just result in piss getting sprayed everywhere?

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Yeah definitely. Marlo is the next step in the evolutionary chain of upcoming gangsters having to become increasingly more vicious and less inclined to follow the whole "street code" to survive and to overtake the older generation. There's a really interesting scene in The Corner where one of...

    Really wish they'd just let the show die with what little dignity it has left.

    Archer

    Really enjoyed Archer's story, the stuff back at the office sucked. Did they really need that much time to cover "omg I can't believe it's the exact same as it used to be" "yep it's exactly the same as it used to be."

    Squirting Is Just Peeing, Say Scientists

    Not sure if I buy it or not. I mean on the one hand, chicks in porn who are spraying all over the room, obviously it's fake (piss or some other method, fuck if I know). On the other hand, I was hooking up with a girl from work when I was younger, she left giant wet patches wherever we fucked...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Yeah I didn't get that bit because I didn't feel any romantic lead up at all between those two - then suddenly his daughter is like 'yeah we only reunited for 10 seconds but I guess I'm gonna die so go back and bang that chick you were in space with.' It just felt tacked on so they could have a...

    What did you just read?

    The worst one was the last 1/3 or so of each of the prequels being devoted to Belgarath & Silk/Polgara respectively chasing/hiding from Chamdar while knowing that his alias is Asharak the Murgo (Polgara reveals to Salmissra that Asharak is Chamdar hundreds of years before Garion is born, and...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm 2 hours or so in and so far no healing spells, limited potion supply and no autoheal or rest mechanic. Surely I'm missing something here and I'm not supposed to port back to one of my camps every time I run out of potions, then run back out again? Because that's fucking retarded.

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    ^ Yeah S2 is one of my favorites as well, I love all the stuff with the Greeks and how it ties into the global drug trade and the futility of fighting on a street level, the collapse of industry, the fact that drugs aren't bound by class/race/suburb/whatever. I felt sorry for Ziggy ultimately...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Fight Club. Also just got back from the movie, not gonna break it down because there's been enough discussion, but I really enjoyed it.

    What did you just read?

    Yeah it's worth putting up with the cookie cutter Tolkien tropes and awful attempts at humor for the genuinely interesting side characters, great childhood/teen flashback. Although if you do a reread I recommend putting a few months between the prequels and the main series', or the retcons (or...

    The Legend of Korra

    Would have preferred it if they'd just confirmed it in the show instead of pulling a Dumbledore, but still interesting. Did it kind of come out of the blue for anyone else, or were there a bunch of signs I missed because I wasn't watching it with that mindset (other than Korra continuing to...

    What did you just read?

    I've been on a bit of a Nostalgia binge: And currently working through: God fantasy covers were terrible in the 80's and 90's. Who the hell did they hire to do those? Although to be fair, most of the fan art that popped up when I searched for those covers was even worse.

    Pretty solid ending.
