    I definitely prefer singleplayer games that can be cheesed over games that risk inconveniencing players with ways to stop cheese.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I think they deleted my joke about it on Am I too late for Oakwynd? | EverQuest Forums where I said that there would be a lot of new characters rolling on Oakwynd after yesterday.

    Year 2 of Space Exploration concluded with some 500ish hours in. I just unlocked the Space Elevator and decided to put the game down until next year. This is easily the hardest, longest and most complex game I've ever played. The depth of the tech tree, variety of components and complexity of...

    I read a little bit about the drama with the publication for this. Nobel prizes can only be split among 3 people, and more than 3 people want credit, so there's some competition from the individuals responsible who are publishing results and trying to solidify their name as being a key...

    not sure if this is the latest tool to use but I used EE Keeper Project for decades. I've never had a problem respeccing, even in egregious cases where I respec to unlock a quest line, or respec party members to impossible combinations (like, cleric/ranger multiclass with an archer kit or some...

    It'd be fine for the reasons Vorph stated. There's good itemization in BG for a large variety of weapons. Maces/flails are very powerful in particular. I don't really agree with this. Going through BG1/2 on normal mode and without the stupid mods I play with you can pretty much set your party...

    Between the bears and the pink twitch drops I think this is the gayest game I'll have ever played since the Ballad of Gay Tony.

    Why do you think this? I sometimes wonder how big releases impact absurdly massive servers. I wonder how much of a blip Steam gets every week from big game releases and how much it changes bandwidth compared to say, EST 6PM when Americans get home from work and power up their PCs and get...

    @Rajaah recently first-timed BG1 and posted a bunch on it. I'd recommend just reading his blog thread and instead playing BG3 with us. But he goes into class choice in the second post of this thread: Rajaah's CRPG Blog He went paladin which is a solid choice.

    From some brief interviews he said he was completely cut out of the loop. So who knows. Kinda weird since he's literally the only voice actor most fans care about for BG3. I'm surprised no fans confronted them on it. I wonder how good elevenlabs' Minsc voice is...

    I just did a little digging. Rumor is that he's either too old to do the work (which might require some animation work for whatever reason) or it's because of some martial abuse bullshit and he got #metoo'd by his wife on some allegations that the judge threw out.

    I'm surprised Steam doesn't have a system to accommodate Early Access -> Release games that have massive data differences.

    Them not using Jim Cummings is going to throw me off. He's one of my favorite voice actors and his characters are so iconic and his voice is so identifiable.

    Yeah the count / variety seems lightweight. I wonder if the cost per line and the number of lines per member is high enough to dissuade them from having a bunch. BG2's companion count was absurd. You were also highly demotivated to sample different companions because of how far behind they'd be...

    The multiclassing rules in BG3 sound like multiclass characters will be pretty weak, but maybe some good combos will emerge.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm guessing you're talking about Shard of Eternal Pain but getting a ton of swarm pets to maximize the of many hits (14+) has been easy enough I haven't bothered getting them. They also changed of many in the last patch to require fewer swarm pets to cap it (along with a huge nerf in damage) so...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yeah I'm more excited about Starfield than bg3, but bg3 is coming out this week. If Starfield is as good as I hope it'll be a huuuuge game like skyrim and popular for a long time. A big reason star citizen had so kuch hype is that there really hasn't been a huge budget game that mixes mass...

    I thought about doing dark urge but from reading a little bit about it, it sounds like it's going to be "Dark Urge: OK now murder this quest giver that's obviously starting a mega quest, and in return you'll get this weird sidequest maybe."

    I'm struggling to chose anything but a human main because i know I'm going to spend the 270 hours or whatever of cutscenes looking at my characters stupid face and if i chose something cool like dragonface or githyankee I'll get tired of it super fast. I don't really like the character art in...

    lol this is exactly my plan. All the info I've gathered is pretty much from reading this thread though. I'm also going to try out a bunch of different classes depending on how easy it is to respec.

    We'll fucking see when I play the game. I don't care about what a wiki says. But seriously I'm thinking about rolling berserker wild mage or whatever. I liked the wild magic in BG but felt like some of the potential rolls were too harmful to actually use (especially the gold loss one).

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah. A lot of times PCs get PC-only buffs that scale better with +DPS and +Tanking and are wasted on fixed abilities, powerful or no. This was true in BG2 when you get Tears of Bhaal and get a bunch of stat buffs, along with other rando stat buffs that would be foolish to waste on companions...
