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.

Yeah planescape torment is amazing in terms of storyline and writing, but suffers graphically and mechanically. Tides is in a completely different setting (Earth 1 billion years into the future, while Planescape is set in Sigil a city of dimension doors tied into Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance...

yeah D:OS2 is definitely more polished in terms of both storyline and mechanics compared to D:OS1. they are not particularly connected.

agree with the part CRPGs games mentioned above. also add pillars of eternity 2, better mechanics but worse story than PoE 1. the modern shadowrun games are pretty solid too, if you want a bit different setting (cyber punk+fantasy) especially shadowrun: dragonfall. the new wasteland games are...

some of the few streamers I used to follow have gotten partners, families, and have just overall reduced their online time by a lot. some of them are getting older and just don't have the stamina to be up for like 12+ hours a day like 6 years ago. now they're up for maybe 6-7 hours or so, and...

Just think of Valinor as Wakandinor.

so many small things the old TV series implemented better from the book. they actually went ahead and made a "baby can you dig your man" jingle and had it repeated several times in the show:

I mean arguably the thing the "heroes" do is show up, rattle Flagg as he's killing them so the people under him start to question him and make him lose his cool. but that's about it.

Flagg's attention was also diverted because the people under him had planned a coup, and he was taking care of that when trashcan came back with the bomb.

this is going to be so woke, god damn.

so many weird decisions... the whole penthouse scene with Bobby-Terry, the face off between Abagail and Flagg... completely unnecessary and stupid changes. the removal of the whole traveling the desolate america part is one of the most disappointing parts. wasn't trashcan supposed to have a...

episode 2: Nadine, Larry (black), Ralph (now Ray, a woman), Nick (hispanic) Lloyd and Leo (asian) introduced, main focus on Larry and Lloyd, still a lot of time-skipping back and forth.

yeah king has a habit of starting off strong and then kind of letting things fall apart mid-way, the dark tower series is another example. the shining was pretty solid throughout though, and a few others.

I guess they might revisit harold's storyline. because they also added a bunch of extra fluff about him being bullied and his family, and skipped the whole travelling through wasteland US and meeting Stu and Glenn and others bit.

they haven't even introduced Larry or Nick in the show yet. Only Stu, Fran, Harold and a little bit of Flagg. and yeah they start it with Harold cleaning bodies in the zone, then time skip back to Fran and Harold becoming the only ones left alive in their town and then forward to Fran being...

agree, the strength of stephen kings books in general are the beginning slow and steady build-ups, so it's really weird that they try and skip around and mess that whole part up.

watched the first episode. so basically following the book but adding a lot of time skipping back and forth, focusing and adding a lot on Harold and less on Fran and Stu for some reason, and changing the setting to a more contemporary one and not 1980s. Whoopie Goldberg as Abigail. no blue...

the whole monolith thing is gonna end up a viral marketing ploy

Pretty solid show. Bleak, grimy victorian England atmosphere. Kinda low budget, but good acting, especially by Eddard Stark, as usual.

Title: The Frankenstein Chronicles Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Drama Creator: Benjamin Ross Cast: Sean Bean, Richie Campbell, Ed Stoppard, Anna Maxwell Martin, Samuel West, Eloise Smyth, Tom Ward First aired: 2015-11-11 Overview: Inspector John Marlott investigates a series of crimes...

I've got more faith in this than Bloodlines 2.

finding myself going back to watch gaming vids on youtube, twitch just losing more and more appeal.

ftfy

I found having a team (2 or 4) of physical damagers only was overall smoother and faster than mixing or magic only. Yes, undead for the win, with the shapeshift mask and immunity to death fog is very potent, especially in later game when you can use death fog barrels/crates to cheese a lot of...

Liked it in high school, rewatched it and it was kinda cringey.

if it's anywhere close to spectre in quality, a cinema ticket price would be highway robbery. the only good one with craig was casino royale, since then they've been steadily worse.

Well, cleric/fighters are a good class and his npc quest is one of the better ones, and gives you the ability to change his demeanor.

hmmm, so you've never had a fly land on you?

just watched this today. the worst joker origin story.

You know the counting contest between legolas and gimli? it won't be about kills!

Decent cover.

Gimli: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf. Legolas: How about side by side with a friend? lover?
