Was that last beta weekend or before ? Because I can't see how that's possible - level 2 weaponsmith was 2000xp, crafting an item used 6 ore and gave 50xp, completing a tech tree node required 3 items and 200xp, work orders required 3 items and gave 200xp. Normal nodes gave 4-5 ore and were...

Obviously not as original, but I liked them, other than Zoe's Tale which bugged me a bit - sometimes the same story from someone else's point of view can be interesting, but this one did not work for me.

In no particular order : Use of Weapons - Ian Banks The Neutronium Alchemist - Peter F Hamilton Pretty much anything by Alistair Reynolds Cryoburn - Lois McMaster Bujold Peacekeeper - Laura Reeve Old Man's War - John Scalzi Trading in Danger - ElizabethMoon Iron Sunrise - Charles...

I tried a bit of crafting in the beta weekend, it looks like they doubled down on the make it painful, make it hard, make it annoying qualities - 2 hours of farming got enough basic mats to drain all my accumulated funds with required bought materials and get 1/3 of a bar into level 1...

The description says 12 episodes covering the same stuff as the OVAs, so that gives them about 4 minutes of extra time over the 6 OVAs. It's *possible* that it's not a cynical cash grab, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The first one was, so I'd imagine so. The first one had absolutely awful AI, but the mechanics allowed for crazy overpowered stacking/combos, so it was actually some pretty good fun if you don't mind steamrolling the AI. I'll probably pick the second one up when it's on special some time...

It is not necessarily a linear relationship, they might be able to fix oxygen scrubbers much faster if they are offline, but not have enough capacity to keep the current population alive with one turned off. Like trying to repair a car while driving it.

Dark in setting or dark in storyline ? Because darker than black isn't a particularly bleak setting. If it's dark storyline, try some of the Urobutcher's finest like Puella Magi Madoka ( you may wonder if I am crazy when watching the first episode - it's a trap ! ;p ) or Fate Zero, also...

No, walking up to your uncle while he is naked, checking out his package, and then going in for a hug is totally normal behavior, and in no way suggests she is desperate for his cock ;p

I thought that was a good start to the series - angry Kira is more entertaining than morally conflicted Kira ;p There is not a hope in hell of 'correcting' the timeline after the damage they did so far though - I wonder where they go with that.

He's the prince *because* he has a highly trained and well equipped army. Dalinor was just thinking that he'd assumed his army would suck because the guy never did any fighting himself, but immediately realized that was a stupid assumption, because there is no link between how well the boss...

I was thinking, 'What, how hasn't he seen that yet ? It's from 2009 ! Then I checked and became very happy when I found it's a new one ;p

The first book is one the weaker ones, pretty tolkien derivative etc. The second is one of the better ones, and fourth is probably my favorite. Unfortunately there's a depressing decline in the middle ;p

They explained the visions as Cohle being drugfucked so badly in the past he still has recurring hallucinations. Given there's no supernatural tie-ins, there is no reason to expect the visions to have any deep meaning, so there's no reason to explain what they are about. I think it's just...

You can't target outside melee range, attacks at that range are just wasted mana. I agree that dreamweaver is a gigantic cockblock for an all caster party, it's doubly annoying because dreamweavers were barely even a speedbump for all melee - one bladedancer would cleave any number of them in...

There's a chest behind him with a full set of green armor that gives +17ish prime damage aoe on hit on each piece. You might have just vendored it if not paying attention though given it is green and there's no reason to expect that no other armor in the game has that effect.

You get far more xp from quests than killing shit. There's zero reason to wander around killing stuff randomly also, as main quest will cap you on level regardless.

Had threesome at 15 = child molested sex fiend whore ? Wow, you guys are harsh. Unless there are a lot more cougars than I know of, or the gay population is much higher than expected, for almost every teenage boy that got laid, there's a corresponding teenage girl ;p

You might be surprised - the superhero story played straight is the exception rather than the rule with novels. Probably because the dead seriousness about something inherently silly is hard to pull off outside of comic books.

Anyway, great game.

No, with setups like that it's the healer getting KO'ed that you have to worry about. Pre-liquid membrane heaps of things will instantly knock a druid unconscious if they focus fire, and once they are KO'ed potions are useless. I found the best solution to that for an all might party was...

Yes, assuming steam, it's <steamdir>\steamapps\common\Might & Magic X - Legacy\Might and Magic X Legacy_Data\StreamingAssets\StaticData\PartyBuffs. csv Then just change column F for whatever spell you want to your desired duration.

Runner - Patrick Lee: Ex-special forces soldier with no aim in life finds direction by helping an escaped government bioweapon test subject. I had high hopes for this one, as The Breach is one of my favorite books. This one was a good read, but not up to that standard - plotting was not as...

I think you might have confused Age of Wonders and Age of Legends -the latter is the age of empires based RTS, the former is the turn based strategy based on master of magic.

GM warfare gets you the skill that always hits, always crits and prevents the target from blocking that turn. So it's more a long haul thing, you'll suck for a while. 2H gets some pretty monster hits late game though.

Heh, I think the evidence shows you are more likely to survive being taken prisoner by the Taliban than ending up in Banshee county lockup ;p

The vendors restock every morning, so you can just rest 3 times and it will have a new set.

On adventurer difficulty you can go with literally anything. I've been doing the all might, all hybrid, all magic parties for the achieve, and they are all much easier than I thought, despite lacking any synergy. On warrior difficulty resists are a total pain in the butt, so you want some melee...

Australian review board are a bunch of wankers. After years of battling 'games are for kids!' retards to get the R18 rating in for video games as law, they still refuse classification to everything they don't like anyway.

One of them had the most hilarious product placement I've seen yet though !

That's almost always the case with symbolism isn't it ? I seem to remember some story about Hemmingway punching a critic for some of the things he said about symbolism in his writing ;p

If you know where the GM quests are, some of them turn out to be easier than you'd think. I've been running an all melee party lately for the lols, and managed to get BM promotion at level 14, and that's one of the harder ones in terms of stuff to fight. Took a couple of reloads given the dark...

Some similar stuff to try from memory : Child of Fire - Harry Connolly Fated - Benedict Jacka The Devil You Know - Mike Carey Already Dead - Charlie Huston Bitter Night - Diana Pharaoh Francis Unclean Spirits - M L N Hanover Mob Rules - Cameron Haley Sandman Slim - Richard Kadrey John...

IIRC their original plan was a different bunch each season. I think that had potential if they ended season 1 with Peter vs Sylar in current time, Peter losing control of radiation power and nuking new york. Future Hiro basically fucks Peter over letting him think it's Sylar who does it, but it...

It's been a while since I read it, but Achamian *is* the main character isn't he ? Kellhus only gets a few point of view chapters ? Kellhus is also the villain of the series, although the author doesn't go out of his way to make that obvious at first.

Some patch observations : GM focus bonus has been halved to 200% from 400%. No real impact, melee with focus was pointless anyway. 1H focus has had their crit bonus halved, 15% for dragon orbs. 2H reduced by something a little less, top end is 30%. The extra 100% crit bonus for spells is...

And have take two go 'we don't want your rejects' ? Actually, that's probably exactly what happened ;p

That's the touch of authenticity you get from a female author - where the choice between a violent sociopath who forcibly infected you with an incurable disease that he knows killed every other woman who got it and then gets you to help him torture and kill people and the good looking nice guy...

How bout a marauder, for the 'get over here' on the annoying range casters that pop up all over the place mid-late game ?

I actually considered going with bow instead of endurance for blademaster and using it to equip a shalassa's breath or vampire bow. Wasn't sure if it would proc on melee strikes, but given armor does it seemed likely. Has potential for hybrids with mana suck weapons ( main weapons you'd go...
