    Doesn't ring a bell. Is that the name of the quest?

    Your Blink camera by Amazon has noticed that you went to the store to buy product_X. Did you know you could get Product_X on Amazon for less! Your Ring camera by Amazon has noticed you came home drunk with Mike_Doe from address_here and he didn't leave until 7am. Would you like to order more...

    If you don't want them using your data (and they will/are), then you need to set up local storage. If you have an old computer laying around, you could use it and pop in a new HD made for continuous recording (like the Western Digital purple line), but it will probably hog more energy than a...

    Look man, she went to her Naturopathy practitioner and she gave her some extremely strong homeopathic drugs. Shit, they almost killed her with how diluted it was! What more do you want!!!

    I think there is a way to have Wyle and Minthara at the same time, but Minthara and a different follower are mutually exclusive. For keeping Wyle with Minthara:

    Inventory clutter finally got the better of me and I went looking for mod solutions. This bag mod seemed like the best I could find. Just tested it and it looks to be in working order. The only weird thing that happened is when I put the Book of Thay in a book bag, I couldn't remove it from the...

    Lae'zel, sitting in the rafters of the goblin fort, was snipin dudes with that pike, but about 20% of the time it wouldn't return to her and I would be SOL (needing to spend an action to equip a new weapon). Then, after getting to act 2 there weren't nearly as many opportunities to use it, so it...

    There is a mod that put Ultima 6 into the Dungeon Siege engine, if you want something a little different. I couldn't really get into it, but a lot of people seemed to like it.

    In chapter 1 it felt like everyone was coming on strong. Even Hal when he gets into camp makes sexually suggestive comments if you exhaust his dialog. Maybe you are just autistic and don't pick it up! Let see, for me: Asterion didn't make it past the first time he tried to bite me, so no clue...

    Respec mods make character creation and mistakes while leveling in Pathfinder much less punishing. Also, novices to Pathfinder don't need to (shouldn't) play the hardest two difficulties and a pure one-class-build party is fine for normal. Even on the hardest difficulty, you don't need to use...

(There are no orc, yo, that's a Gith and they are from outer space!)(Also, the other one is only like 10% demon ("I suspect some miscegenation in their heritage.

    To test multi bard/wiz I speced into wiz as a bard around level 6 and it gives you separate books; so you can not use bard casts on wiz spells, from what I saw. In tactical difficulty, I haven't had an issue with AoE as Div Wiz Gale. I use almost every slot on Missiles, Scorching (rarely), and...

    Anyone use the hireling Maddala Deadeye (Asian looking woman)? While sitting in camp, mine ends up dead every day and I have to keep using a rez scroll on her when I long rest... I keep wondering if this is due to me "killing" Asterion, but I just made it to Baldur's Gate and no other hints...

    I liked the first South Park game, but the second one used references from "newer" seasons that I didn't watch (I only watched the first 10 seasons or so), so I'm not sure I even made it 50% through before quitting.

    Only the launcher checks the drivers. Skip the Larian launcher, by using the "bg3_dx11.exe" or "bg3.exe" to start the game!

    This has always been the power curve in DnD. Low levels are melee dominated, high levels are caster dominated, and the midrange they are relatively close. If the game was going to 18 - 20, you would see the casters just dominate the melee in end game (well at least in Pathfinder & 3.5e, dunno...

    Don't think it's a potato problem. My GTX970 has been running the game fine on DX11 w/o a crash. It was mostly smooth too, until getting to Baldur's Gate, where all the moving people seem to drop the FPS to 10. That's not to say I haven't had some other bugs. One of them was when I was sending...

    Fucking irresponsible asshole. He is worse than a bunch of hood rats shooting up in the air for holiday celebrations, as at least there is a reasonable chance that those rounds are only falling back to earth at terminal velocity. This guy, on the other hand, is launching a projectile downrange...

    If there was, I probably stopped the second one the first time they broke out into song and didn't even try to suffer through it. I don't even remember every episode of that show anymore. Especially the later seasons, since I was mostly watching them just to have something to watch.

    You can pickpocket everything that a vendor sells, and there are generally at least 1 or 2 higher level items on vendors (there is a very high probability of getting caught on those items though). Unless you are going to save scum 100 times to get those high gold items, the best things to pick...

    That's how I went into chapter 2. Be aware, you will need to spend some time doing things before you can reach the mountain pass from the chapter 2 side. If you really want to test it out, you can get the fast travel mark to chapter 2 Underdark, then port back to chapter 1, and take the mountain...

    Ricky Jay has some amazing videos but it's a shame they are all old 480 resolution. Since Fool Us has been on so long they have a bunch of clips from amazing acts passing through.

    I finished the Magicians, just skipped the single musical episode. I still "liked" the show, but it was far down on the list of what I cared to watch at any given moment by that point. I think it was months after the seasons were over before I would get around to watching them.

    This question could mean a couple things, and people's answers are a bit different. First, like ronne said, there is a message that pops up saying that things will change, every time you transition to a new act, so if you ran through the Act 1 Underdark all the way until you got the message...

    I mean, I got the credits to roll in Act 2... so does that count for "finishing" the game, if people rushed to that "ending"?

    This looks about right for the 4 classes I have been running (up to level 8): Battle Master, Div Wizard, Lore Bard Face, Tempest Cleric, in that order. Both Wizard and Cleric can fuck shit up, but I run out of spells on the Cleric the most (and never use a heal, outside of the 30 yard range one...

    Fun with pickpocketing: Pick up the flowers that give an anti-magic 10ft aura in the underdark and send them to camp chest. Once you find a boss type caster, that you may need to fight at a later date, then sneak up to them and put the flower in their pocket. You don't get the flower back when...

    Magic missile was the go-to spell in BG1/2 for single target nukes, but 5e tried to neuter it. Good to see them back on that top dog spot!

    Never watched Buffy, but I though it was a pretty campy show to begin with. I fucking hated that Magicians episode and just skipped it after enduring one or two songs. By the time that came up, I wasn't that enthused about the show anymore, so that probably didn't help either.
