Will give this a watch. Growing up watching Risky Business and Wall Street gives me fond memories of The Talking Heads. Kinda like how Scorsese probably got a whole new generation into The Rolling Stones.

Most of this sounds about right. Blobbers (your limited to first person mode, so your party is like a blob just behind the camera) are mostly independent games set in a certain gaming world. You don't need to play them in order, unless it's to see the progression of the technology. I would...

Irenicus strips you down, sells some of your shit, and scatters other things to the 4 winds. AKA: Not everything gets ported over and most/all of the Beamdog items are put in various locations around the world. What you get also dependent on what all you had in your inventory, so it makes...

News Story w/bouncer interview:

Casters get stronger as they get higher levels, even melee ones. Once you can start buffing yourself and get them sweet Pal immunities, things will be better than Fighter. AFAIK, the only thing a fighter gets is the ability to hit things easier. Did they let you pick a kit when moving to BG2...

Looking up Troika games made me remember another highly lauded RPG from them, that's not on the list: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. While it's 3D instead of iso, it's at least as good as the KOTOR games and better than a bunch of other games on the list, like NWN1, NWN2 base campaign, the...

A few of the various games deal with the 9 hells in some way, but there is constant war between the various factions there. So I think it's difficult to have much exploration in one of the hells for a mere mortal, without making a deal with a various Devil. Then having that jive with any lawful...

That's good. Maybe they are finally learning their lesson and trying to find good writers. Doubt it, but maybe!

The three Spiderweb games I have played all felt kind of same-ish and I can never get through the whole thing. I got about 70% through Avernum before losing interest. From what I can remember, the character building options felt too simple and once I had the unlocked the bottom row, the story...

Are you going to test them out before giving them to your son? I'm wondering how hot they get on the ears. I tried over the ear headphones, years ago, and they would make my ears sweat after a couple hours of use. Which made them too annoying to use. They were a pretty cheap pair though, so...

Nein! Nein! Fallout 3 is an ABOMINATION!!!!

Warcraft 2, just like Command and Conquer Red Alert, are great RTS, but you don't need to play any of them, to play the other. For the most part, Warcraft 3 is the only RTS that has a narrative that rivals the standards of the gameplay, and it stands on it's own. The only other narrative driven...

The reddit peoples made a non-spoiler mod list. I haven't looked it all over, but you would think people so passionate about the game would get it right.

On one hand, I hate spending hours on figuring out mod lists to get the experience I want, but on the other...look at all the pretties! Better lightsaber colors? YES PLEASE! HD Visas? YES PLEASE! Higher poly Ebon Hawk? YES PLEASE! HQ space skybox? YES PLEASE!

Looks like copy right issues got the portrait packs removed from Nexus. Maybe this one: I use this huge pack: https://www.nexusmods.com/pathfinderkingmaker/mods/92

Funny. I also played BG2 when it came out, w/o playing BG1 (saving up money from summer jobs only goes so far), and absolutely loved it. As a result, I still find BG2 a far superior game to BG1. FO2 is in the exact same boat. Humm...now that I think about it, Two Towers is also my favorite...

FO: Tactics isn't an RPG, and has no relation to the Fallout 2 story. It doesn't really matter when you play it. If you are already familiar with the FO universe, there wont be much in terms of spoilers. Again, for a turn based tactics game, it is inferior to Jagged Alliance 2 (if you had to...

Playing anything on a small screened Switch, when you have a big screened PC sounds like someone used to terrible life choices. PC Master race, and all that. Being that the KOTOR2 resto mod is fan made, the chance that any console has it included are slim to none. There is also a restoration...

There are a bunch of HD mods for the PC version for KOTOR 1, but there is only so much they can do with those early 3d games. KOTOR is an excellent game, but just like NWN, the 3d engine is one of the worst looking, for old games (didn't age well). This has a ton of various mods listed, but...

Read about that, a few years back, and kinda surprised it took this long. There has been a "cruse" ship for college since the 1960's or so. Where you do a semester or two and it continually travels around the globe, with classes on board. https://www.semesteratsea.org

Trying to get through this as well. As others have said, The Message-ing is dialed to maximum. Girls getting it done: Check. Everyone "good" is diverse and/or part of a "persecuted" irl class: Check. All the bad people are white men: Check. I have been trying to watch it as a DnD campaign...

Colm's stuff all sounds too clean and over produced? Every song I have heard him cover has a better version done 20+ years ago. Here is a rather funny version of Black and Tans. The BBC would never approve of an IRA song being broadcast on it, so this comedian snuck in 2 "Irish Rebel" songs, a...

I've used 303 Aerospace protectorate and Back to Black. The 303 was just for interior only and Black to Black was only for exterior plastic, not rubber. For rubber, GM recommends dielectric grease every year or two and it has worked well to keep all the rubber pliable on a 18 year old car...

Yar, Spider's Bane is pretty good to keep in a weapon slot, and switch to it, when you need the effect. Clerics can cast Free action, so can high level Paladins, and you will get 2 or 3 other items with the Free action effect in BG2, eventually. Also, two rings of Free action could have been...

Is there still negotiations to go lower or people just pay the asking price? Also, I thought yall bought new cars directly from the manufacturer now? The dealer system is so imbedded in the US that they got laws passed to protect them, so we are seemingly stuck with the system.

Didn't the first season establish that Grogu was 30 years old, or some such? So, if his age equivalent is 1 year for every 10 human years, then he will always be a toddler for this show. That makes him a fairly one dimensional and uninteresting character. I was disappointed they put him back...

You can always play Siege of Dragonspear when you replay the game in a year or two. I think it's ~20 hours and you can bring 10 or so items over to BG2. It was forgettable content though.

For home loans at least, once 1 agency runs your credit for it, all other credit inquires in the next 30(?) days will count as the same inquiry and not keep decreasing your score. From what I remember, it was only a few points, and was restored after 30 to 90 days. I have never messed with auto...

This. For the first copies you get, you scribe (learn) the scrolls for the mages you plan to keep, then you can use them like consumables. Be aware: Wizards can not scribe scrolls from the opposite spell school of their various specialties. Example: Xan can not scribe/learn Fireball and Dynaheir...

Once you get Fireball, you will be incentivized to learn how to maximize enemy damage while not hitting your own people. For now, Magic Missile > Color Spray (I'm a bit biased as I don't like cone spells and MM scales well too), and of course, charm makes for fun time, but gets resisted more...

The plastic parts flying off sounds a bit weird for a 2017. I've always thought of plastic going brittle/dry rot is more of an 10+ year age thing, over a millage thing. Do you have very harsh winters, where water is getting behind them and freezing regularly? The window frame should probably be...

I liked Pillars 2 more than 1, but on release it had some issues (although I don't remember specifics anymore). Since they fixed some of those issues with DLC or just patches, I keep meaning to go back to give it a replay. I started with Pillars 1, a couple years ago, with the goal of playing...

Xan isn't turrable, but he is more of a crowd controller than a damage dealer. He is also one of the potential companions where, if you turn them down (and leave the area?) they will disappear from the game, but if you hire him, you can immediately kick them and they will stay where you left...

You don't have multiple saves? Go back, kick Minsc from the party before he attacked you (it's time based, if he is in the party, as he gets sick of waiting for you to help). Go straight for Dyna, then go back and get Minsc, dunno if it will work, but maybe. Edit: Looked it up, and you might...

In BG1 the companions should stay where you disband them. It's best to probably leave them at the Inn or a place you will be going back and forth too, a few time. The only exceptions to this are the 4 Beamdog added companions, which go back to where you recruited them, I think. From the Wiki...

This goes through all the custom race features and leader creation magic books. Figured I would just skim it, and ended up watching the whole thing. It looks like it will help give the game some legs, after the campaigns are done.

An extra premade to play with two classes early probably wont hurt. You get a druid/fighter duel class fairly early, which should be better, and you can compare right off. I would still recommend replacing with a companion when the party gets full, but you wont have to make that call until a...

An abomination!!! I feel personally insulted reading this.

You can rotate characters, but I'm not sure there is an Inn in the first chapter. Also, you may be nerfing yourself, as the first half of chapter 1 should be designed around 4 or less characters. With a full party, you will be splitting that XP 6 ways, instead of the designed 3/4 ways. Since you...

This isn't Elden Ring where the combat is the whole point and the story is an afterthought. The story and NPCs are one of the best parts of the game. Making your own party sounds like the worst choice a person could make. I didn't even think/remember that you could hire "mercenaries," as I would...
