    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Here is the in game overmap with the chapter 1 POI on the map, in the east. Each chapter moves you west, toward Baldur's Gate. I don't remember if you can quick travel in EA. Can zoom it a bit:

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The surrender was not cut and dry and the movie Japan's Longest Day goes into how contentious the surrender was. Would the military command been more inclined to defy the Emperor, had the bombs not been dropped? Maybe. Dude does a pretty good job laying out the arguments over bomb usage, in...

    Yea, it doesn't sound great, but maybe it could have changed over the course of development into more bloodlines like, which might have worked. I also look at the game Dark and Darker and see it mechanically working like that, but with a full RPG story and side quests.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I can't think of a single game that I spent more time on it outside the game than actually playing it. I have maybe hit the 200 hour mark on 1 out of every 50 games I have played, so someone spending 200 hours putting that together, especially when it's so close to release, seems ludicrous.

    Until we get the full release and it's been played through to the endgame, the PnP is all we have to go on. Since EA was just the first chapter with a level 4 cap(?), it's not really a good judge of how classes will ultimately play out. Using PnP as a guide can at least give you an idea of what...

    There is no Hexblade in the game and the house rules weapon bond isn't until level 3 lock, so Hexadin isn't going to be as OP as reported by PnP people. Sorcadin doesn't have the best option (Clockwork soul), at least according to RPGbot. Bardadin looks to have the right sub-classes in game...

    Jagged Alliance 3

    Only bug/issue I can think of is trying to quick load while it autosaves can cause an infinite load window, where you have to force close the game. Otherwise no other technical issues. Two main complaints I have read elsewhere: More guns, and more mods might be nice, in terms of gear...

    Weather

    Wouldn't be surprised if that is due to a window lensing the sun, directly or reflected, to cause that.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That's my concern too. Sven, in one of the recent interviews, said that in his first play through he would play a custom character so all the origins are from an outside perspective, then replay the character you liked to get the story from that character's point of view. He also said the Dark...

    Something I sort of neglected: Leadership is an overlooked stat that greatly affects travel time, along with listed benefits.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Correct, according to Sven in one of his recent interviews, it wont affect the game, whatever class you turn companions into. So say Minsc has a bunch of ranger quest and dialog referring to him as a ranger, that wont change if you make him a druid. It also wont lock out any quests even if it's...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm having trouble deciding what to play and leaning toward a bard as well. The 4 man party is kinda throwing a wrench in my choices. I usually always have a rogue for traps, and go with sorc for the PC as my first play through as good. For a good play through, I may just kill Astarion the...

    Jagged Alliance 3

    You can play it both ways. You need talents to do the night vision sniper way successfully, unless you want to save scum a bunch. The mod that shows hit percent also makes a huge difference. A few things for stealth mode: You start a map in real time, and go into turn base mode once you get...

    He is 59 trying to do the capstone for WT3 to get into WT4. Those 8 minibosses all do that cone AoE that 1 shots low levels. I was playing an almost exact same necro (sever/army instead of spear/storm) at release and getting one shot by that ability at level 58 and 62. You just need to learn...

    Ahsoka

    I didn't think Dawson looked much like Ahsoka either, but she has done fairly well with it. So, I am willing to give Winstead a chance, even if I don't think she is as attractive as a large number of other actresses in Hollywood.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series

    The old Telltale games did the episode thing too, hell they might have been the ones that made it "popular." I think it stemmed from the old company started off as an indi that used early access (maybe? or greenlight?), and just releasing as they finished the content. I didn't realize the new...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Couple years older, but Power Rangers started in 93, so most of the early-ish and mid 90s kids prolly had the same experience. Think I bought every game Westwood put out and Computer Gaming World always left me asking for more game.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series

    Dunno if the book gets more background, but Amos went from Earth almost directly to the Canterbury? So there isn't much to work with, with any of the survivors of the Cant, because none of them were in command positions.

    Kinda neat, from 2006 concert, Phil can get the closest to Layne I have heard. Maynard also did something with them, that same year, but couldn't find a good copy.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    How many other midsized trucks have you driven? Never been in a Tacoma, but of the two trucks I have the most time in, the 2010 Tundra was far superior to a 2017 F150. It could be a tire issue too. The run flats (Goodyear Eagle) that came stock on my Vette got a whole lot of complaints about...

    By the time Power Rangers came out, all I asked for were computer games, instead of "toys." Also, I thought it was dumb, because I would always seem to flip by it in the middle of some fight with stupid looking monsters. It may have also been on at the same time as something else I wanted to...

    Barbie (2023)

    Too bad. That Ryan Gosling promo gave me hope this was going to be a tongue in cheek parody of a Barbie world. I think Margot is the best looking actress in Hollywood, but it still wont get me to sit through a shitty movie.

    I thought we only got 4 stash tabs because they were going to give a stash tab with every season, but nope, they need people to spend time with inventory management to pump up those engagement numbers!

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Oh, right. Messed up my count when trying to think it out. So in the example of a High Elf Wizard, the difference between the old way and the new way to do racials is that the new way High Elf Wizard will be a better caster from level 4 to the end of 7, and then again at 12. I assume they...
