    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    yeah, con and perception are definitely the dump stats here. Fatigue is almost entirely trivialized by 3 points in athletics. Overall health is kindof meaningless. only endurance matters. where, con does have "some" value. but not much. I'd say con should effect incoming healing. So...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    That and everything is too.. clean. everything is uniform. not even rough edges. no moss, no vines. no broken cobblestones. no dirt. no offcolor bricks etc.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    Test was stupid though. they already established you live and die by the dog, its your partner. Test could have just as easily been a test if you will blindly follow orders. And shooting the dog was the failstate, as a spy agency needs critical thinkers, not grunts. Most of the other tests...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    no one has ever died from falling into a giant pit in Starwars. Maul did not die. Luke did not die. Twice even. once at Cloud City when losing a hand, and a second time at Jaba's Palace. Boba Fett did not die. Palpatine did not die. I mean really. want to know why there are not...

    ah, I see what you were referring to now. And yeah, HIT points in Dnd is also like that, and often confused. its essentially what endurance is in this. Its not a measure of your "lifeforce", or health, or anything. it also is a measure of your ability to fight, and avoid hits...

    DnD you mean? in Pillars, dex has no relation to armor at all. In DnD, AC or armor class is a measure of avoidance, not damage reduction. Either you move, and the attack misses.. or the attack is deflected off your physical armor. granted you can point out confusion here vs a reflex save...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    yeah. the attack speed penalty seems hardly relevant. The variance isn't big enough. and DR is far too powerful a stat. Classic DnD has arcane spell failure, as well as AC vs dex bonus. so light armors gave you "avoidance" with good dex scores making them essentially as good as heavy...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah, I don't entirely understand the resting and time mechanic. There IS an achievement for only resting 10 times before beating the game.. No time based one, but again, I suppose you could use the time mechanic for your own "personal" challenge, beat the game in a week or month or...

    The Flash

    Gideon is basically Skeets. so much so, it was a large part of wondering if Wells was Rip Hunter. And yeah, Skeets has the last 700 years of newspaper headlines, etc in his memory banks.

    Koam was the Karui king. History of Wraeclast - Path of Exile Wiki Tribal/Barbarians/Mongols. Invaded Wraeclast. Defeated Marcus Lioneye at Lioneye's watch. Shavronne erected a barrier at the prison and created/left Brutus to defend it. They failed to beat him, and were also stopped...

    Either you didn't play it... or have a terrible memory. My first char was definitely broken. I started a summoner. Having to summon, and resummon minons every single map, as wolves jumped on top of me over and over... Then, about 1/3rd of the way through he game or so. in the major...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Pretty sure you can just turn the game down to normal or easy from hard. I turned it up to hard yesterday from Normal, after I got 2 more companions, and was just breezing through everything with 4 already. Killed Raedric for example with 1 rest, and 2 reloads without even having Kana. just...

    Sat down and played a bit. hit level 3, got mage, priest, fighter companions and just toppled the local lord... for reasons? Here's some of my thoughts. some in response to posts, some just straight from the game. Did not play wasteland2, not a fan of the setting. did of course play D:OS...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    What are some examples of them mocking a liberal AGENDA? not the incompetence of the individual, but the idea or agenda itself? Whats TDS's response to Indiana right now? The right to refuse service, vs the right of service? This is a good litmus test imho. you have two rights coming...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    They are both absolutely very left. And while I agree with a good amount of things, and certainly the "fox new lies to you" elements.. TDS/Stewart pissed me off to no end with the "isn't it about time we had a discussion on gun control in this country". They absolutely come at things from...

    are you for real? did you watch seasons 1 and 2? Claire personally interviewed her husbands mistress/informant. then in season 2 was fully aware he personally murdered her, and was fine with it. She ruined the life of the nonprofit founder she stole control of it from. She helped ruin the...

    I haven't really had time to sit down and play. But, yeah, how searching works in classic inf engine games is spotty. yes, it makes sense to have "stop and search" as a function. in fact, searching should presumably be more like a metroid scan, you search a specific area, in line of sight...

    what is the point of those southern waypoints? so close to invaders points, they will always be in contention for homezone, and so close to invaders, they may as well not exist. alot of the edge of the mists ideas implemented of course, as expected. https://youtu.be/Oolz4LpoSPI The team...

    Guild Wars 2

    New borderlands map. Looks overwrought to me. I don't think the pvp team really understands pvp. feel like 90% of new players are just going to be getting lost all the time. With no idea where to go, what to do, or how to even get from point to point. total pvp design failure.

    anyone want to comment on difficulty? busy with other games, but did start a game, just to check it out quickly. Went with "normal" hoping, it actually meant that. should I restart on "hard"? no screwing around with ironman mode or anything though. ha.

    I feel like the dark comedy, and all the jokes about Archers total lack of mortality, is going to end up with Archer dying in the series finale.

    They dropped an "anger issues" on him in punching Barry. so, the namesake of the character, as well as model for the character is a villain. Another reverse flash. so, everyone is kindof waiting for him to fall apart and go crazy. And yeah, the spoiler Gavinmad posted, but also explained...

    does that mean your player character does all the talking, and has all the dialogue checks? hate when games to that. wish party games like this, handled dialogue as a party more often. inter-party dialogue, as well as the simple, high stat party members butting in, and taking over when a...

    was not a superfan of Parallels. it was ok as a pilot, as noted. I found the characters annoyingly stupid. Like, I don't know. I can maybe accept these were 3 people who have never read, played, or watched any sci-fi tv show, movie, game, cartoon, comic book in their lives or something...

    iZombie

    Pushing daises first, then chew, then izombie. Should note, iZombie was less of a police drama. It was more about her, and her quirky friends. and she is more like Rogue from xmen. after eating someones brain, she can't tell their memories from her own, and is slowly forgetting her actual...
