    Damn, I visited my parents and they have a display of condoms right there on their kitchen.

    Battle Master is a versatile subclass, using a shield with it is fine. I didn't find shields on a tank class that useful because the AI is smart enough to prefer weaker targets. I used shields on my casters.

    8 cha is fine. Not only because of what Hateyou said, but also because you can get buffs to help your charisma-based rolls. I also took the Noble background to get Persuasion proficiency, though I don't know if I'd go that route again. Also you can reroll anytime for pennies and chagne your...

    For ES6 they should take another 5 years of development time and just switch to Unreal Engine 5, and work with Epic Games to turn whatever they make into an open-source Unreal plugin and their Creation Kit into an open-source Unreal Engine Editor plugin.

    6700XT is a fairly old video card innit? I think it costs less than your CPU! I'm actually looking at getting a 7800X3D CPU because it's popular for Factorio.

    I popped up some performance monitoring to see if I couldn't just upgrade my GPU. Nope. CPU is getting rekt.

    This piece of trash Gamebryo engine is whipping my poor 5 year old computer's ass. I've got an i7-9700K and GTX 1080 Ti and it's just not cutting it. Looking to spend ~1500. Not sure if I want to build a totally new one or just replace parts. I've put together about 10ish computers over the...

    IIRC for Skyrim and Fallout 4 the creation kit was delayed by moooonths. I wonder if it'll be a faster release since Bethesda has been polishing this for longer.

    I'd be interested to know what end-game CR value mobs would do to make themselves unbeatable to a group of level 12 adventurers, given the changes in BG3 vs 5e. I know in BG1/2 AC, THAC0 and saves would scale with level, so if you were waaay underleveled you had a hard time landing shit. When...

    When the user docs evolve enough to enumerate all the ways that resting or going to camps can break quests, I'll be really interested to see it. The one time i experienced it in grymforge with zero warning was really surprising.

    I remember finishing a cave in some modded-to-hell-oblivion playthrough that I ended by crawling out with like a dozen super heavyweight glass warhammers. It took me 5 fast-travel trips to sell it all. #neveragain

    Yeah and going through it blind the first time was kinda annoying. The . That's a big reason why I slept as little as possible. It'd be kinda lorebreaking to have something in the game tell you when you can and can't sleep without fucking up your plot, but I wouldn't have minded it.

    Yep. I disliked resting enough that I chose a party spec that didn't need to rest all that much. Ended the game with 2 barbarians that could rage 5x times per long rest and a sorcerer whose primary job was to twincast haste, which he could do more than 5x times per long rest. This was totally...

    Brother here's a pic of me after the amount of savescumming I did in BG3 I have fond memories of BGS games that I mod to be ridiculously difficult to the point where I need to retry combat encounters many times before I beat them successfully. I have every expectation to burn an entire...

    Did Bethesda only hire like 5 voice actors again? Speaking of AI, @Utnayan ElevenLabs comin' for that minimum wage voice actor $$$. https://elevenlabs.io/blog/game-creators-to-unlock-groundbreaking-voiceover-tech-thanks-to-elevenlabs-and-bud-tie-up/

    I dusted off my foot pedals last night. I'm guessing I won't use them though. I haven't seen the ship combat but I'm guessing it's low APM, low-skill and uses something like VATS.

    Looks like Microsoft didn't cut IGN a check like they got for Cyberpunk to give it a 9/10 . Cyberpunk 2077 [Reviews] - IGN , they gave Starfield 7/10 :D

    I remember Skyrim was streaming for a few days before release and I enjoyed watching a few hours. There's only one chance for a bunch of newbies to explore a game like this, and an entertaining streamer doing it with a bunch of people egging them on is pretty good. I'll probably be emotionally...

    Thinking about a notional "hardest mode" a bit more, one challenge that would be interesting is if Larian sectioned off certain parts of the campaign that had to be beaten in one rest in order to gain a normal victory condition. Ex: This is partially brought from not liking the "immersion...
