    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    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...

    Magicians/Magic Shows

    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...

    Edit: Reread the post and was getting locations mixed up (I was thinking , later in the chapter). No idea where they all disappear too, if you dont talk to them. The next chapter, maybe.

    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...

    Edit: Droigan beat me to it. When I respeced her Tempest and kept her as cleric, she still stays Shar cleric, just different domain (for staying true to the story), but according to others, respec to totally different classes wont matter to the story, as it will act as if the character is the...

    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! Div spec wiz seemed reasonably balanced when it was 2 dice per long rest, but I just recently got level 8, where they become 3 per short rest and you start...

    So far into chapter 2, every time I walk into an area with tombs/coffins and bunch of bones/dead laying around I think "alright, alright, alright, it's Vampire killin time!"

    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.

    Almost to the end of chapter 2 and boots/gloves/helm seem to be appropriate for the class. I haven't seen any of them that I really think "man, I wish Gale could wear that heavy armor helm." I made Shadowheart into a Tempest cleric though, so there might be some heavy stuff she uses/used and I...

    You don't seem to have a good grasp on one of the special rules of the English language! If enough people call bison buffalo then buffalo becomes proper usage in the English language, when referring to American bison. Also, I saw a few possums in my back yard, here in Texas, last night!

    Every time they release a patch if fucks with mods and makes the lives of modders harder. So when the community is already helping you patch things, it's probably better for them to wait. If it takes big mods, like Radious and SFO, a couple weeks to process the patch, it might be enough time...

    I don't think surfaces factor as heavy in this game, since they do 1d8(?) or 1d6(?) per round. In DOS I used the shit out of surfaces, mainly turning oil into fire patches, and water into electrified stuns. In this game, I don't really pay attention to that stuff and play it like every other...

    I cant overstate how much I hate most musicals and all the shitty Idol/Voice reality bullshit. Anything related to that makes me think lesser of everyone involved that greenlit the episode. The Sci-fi shows in the past may have had goofier episodes than I remember, but nothing I can recall that...

    I took the feat that increases your jump by 50% ("Athlete") on Lae'zel and she is jumping across the map. Easily my most constantly mobile character and I don't think I have ever burned an action on either of her racials in combat, in 7 levels. After playing 5e in Solasta, I thought Fighters...

    Welp, I didn't test far enough on it. Before the first post, I made 3 hirelings to see what buffs/benefits they would give, and, as it turns out, you can only hire 3 hirelings. So I guess my dreams of a 15 piece band are also dashed!

    Just found some hireling cheese (dunno if worth): You can use hirelings to cast anything beneficial that is NOT concentration. So, need heals? Go to camp and get a hireling to heal you. Want the whole group to have +10 move speed? Well get a hireling to give you longstrider. Want 12 extra short...

    Watching 10 minutes of the musical made me lose a bit of interest in the show, but I guess I was never in the good faith camp. After struggling though Discovery, up to 3 or 4 episodes into season 2, all faith in NuTrek will be tenuous at best. At least, until they get a show with 3 or 4 good...

    I didn't see this brought up before, and maybe it only happens once you get to chapter 2, but it looks like they put in a way to turn off NPCs hitting on you. You need to have the follower talk to the respec guy more than once. On the second time, he will ask you why that character is not sexing...

    There are various tiers of power when looking at the various abilities in Arcanum, but due to the reactivity of the game, it might be best to just go in fresh and build like you want. Whether you go tech, magic, or mixed effects how the world treats you, I think? I don't remember what skills...
