PS5. The Midgar DLC is there for sure. There's also a Tomb Raider DLC that I haven't looked at yet. Or the main game. All I've actually played is the Midgar DLC which is kind of funny. Pretty much. We can't fix the real world in any appreciable way and this game lets us feel like we're making...

Playing it in small doses is relaxing. If one were to sit down and try to "beat the game" then yeah I think they'd start questioning themselves before too long. For me, sometimes I want to play something but don't want to have to think about it too much, cause I'm tired or whatever the case is...

It's kind of crazy going to TLP after years and years on live. Live is so relaxed and quiet. If you run into another person in a zone they'll be like "hail adventurer, how goes the hunt?" and give you a bunch of buffs before heading out. Then you don't see anyone else for a little while except...

EQ2 has been such a ghost town every time I ever popped on there. I really question why it has gotten expansion after expansion all these years. They split their resources like 60/40 between EQ2 and EQ1 and the EQ1 expansions really suffered for a long time. Eventually I think it shifted...

Funny, the aformentioned girl I was talking about offered to pay for my vasectomy (so I could plow her even more often). She broke things off before I got it, and insurance was covering it anyway. There's gotta be something in the big book of red and green flags about women offering to pay some...

What's your beef? I think I'll probably end up adding NWN2 to the list eventually, but let's see if I can even get through half of what I've got now. Fallout Tactics is also a very likely add since it's included with the Fallout 1 + 2 set I just got. Once SoD is done (which won't take long)...

That a module? I wonder if it's related to the part of the Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear game that has you, well, descending into Avernus.

Not gonna read this whole thread (maybe some other time) so what's the TLDR? How'd this work out? Yeah, that's true. I went through a similar situation to this back in the early 2010's. Met a cute but slightly overweight 25 year old Puerto Rican woman, she asked me out which is nice, and we...

Toronto is well within range to get the Chicago crowd that filled the United Center for last year's Forbidden Door, as well as being a nice centralized location. Good choice, but I wish they were going with the Skydome instead. Been 24 years since a non-Wrestlemania show was able to draw a large...

Watched Clockwork Orange for the first time a couple weeks ago. Really good. In retrospect 10 out of 10. There's a really good video on Youtube that gets into the real meaning of the movie and how it parallels the modern world. Look up Empire of the Mind's video on Clockwork Orange and watch the...

Got a D&D question. I asked in one of the other threads if there was any D&D game/module where you go to the Nine Hells or fight any of the big guys that the lore heavily builds up. Or are they perpetually out of reach and more used as deities / plot devices? I'd love to play a game where you...

I assume you also played ToB? If not, then do a replay including that. I'm sure you did though. On an EE replay you could throw SoD in there. It's inferior to the other parts of the story but it's still an interesting addition. Only other time I can think of where a game got an "inter-quel" 15...

/gems is also getting a HUGE expansion pack.

Doing SoD first, unless it stops being interesting, then I'll jump to BG2. SoD seems a bit short, especially since I turned the difficulty down to Story Mode for it and am one-shotting everything. Just there for the story. SoD is full of traps and ID-style dungeon crawling and it seems a little...

Bunch of Baldur's Gate 1 images before I go on to the next one: Starting stats, basically made a Moor Paladin. I abused the Rest command all game, which meant getting harassed by guards. So basically RP'd a hobo. Some of the more hilarious dialogue choices. Didn't know this was a Bioware...

What's that first one, Fighter/Warrior? I haven't played a healer in any of these games yet (then again I've only played one so far but I never had any healer classes in it) so a "solo Cleric" that can get really strong sounds like it might be a fun change of pace for TOEE. Neera isn't woke...

Yeah I also got that. It's like the most relaxing game ever. Only downside is that it can kind of put you to sleep after a while, and the levels tend to get a bit tedious in the last 2-3 percent when you're trying to find the last few specks that are hidden under things and it takes forever. The...

Repost of my Baldur's Gate 1 updates: -------------- I'm still having choice paralysis on a BG1 class. Monk looks interesting now but I'm still leaning Fighter. Looks like this has both Mage and Sorcerer, thought Sorcerer wasn't until BG2. Maybe they streamlined classes too in this version...

Moving my CRPG blogging over to Rajaah's CRPG Blog One more note on BG1: I think people are short-changing Neera a bit. For a Beamdog character, she was pretty awesome. A lot of fun dialogue-wise and I ended up inadvertently romancing her. Never really went anywhere but it added a lot to the game.

Hello frens, here's where I'll post my CRPG updates from the Great CRPG Crusade. Also everyone else feel free to post anything CRPG-related here and discuss anything CRPG-related. Here's the big list of things I'm gonna play. 20 things in all, so each one is 5% of the crusade. I've got System...

Oh yeah, I know you were. Problem is, you're also right. I'm gonna look like the South Park kids at the end of the Warcraft episode by the time I get to the end of the list... ...unless I manage to plow all of them in 20 hours like I did with BG1. Then this won't take a super long time, a few...

I should probably start a "Rajaah's CRPG Blog" thread at this point so people can follow on my 12-game celibate voyage of losing muscle tone and getting fat and pimply and no longer being appealing to women. But By God, in exchange I get to play some fantastic games!

There's also the Rajaah Vaniki Experience: Camp stuff in Lower Guk, have people show up to a cleared camp and "not see you" and start camping, then when the room respawns and you de-cloak and out-DPS them on all the mobs, they go ballistic and accuse you of stealing their camp, then rant about...

I think I'll give SoD a run and switch it down to Story Mode, just to get the story without struggling with the actual gameplay portion. This'll also make it take a lot less time. I'll turn it back up to Normal for BG2. I checked out the beginning of both of them already, and while BG2 is...

All races/all classes would be cool, but it would either require adding a ton of new NPCs to zones / accounting for factions / etc, OR having the server start at a point where the towns no longer matter in that sense. So... a PoP start server.

Yeah, I didn't think that one through at all. So wait, that's it? No J-Chan onlyfans announcement? Am I the only one who wants to keep this company afloat, dammit?

Gonna miss running around at bardspeed with the Cheetah Boots. Don't even remember where I got those but it was a real game-changer. Was zipping all over the place for the second half of the game. Not looking forward to going back to normal walk speed in future games. These boots are probably a...

I set aside a lot of time for it and then could not turn it off, was crazy. Been ages since that happened. Not sure what it is that's so compelling about this game, but I always wanted to finish a level up, or look into a side quest someone gave me, or check out a newly-appeared map location. It...

Yeah, it's the EE. I've got the EEs for BG1+2, ID+PT, and NW. Gotta go original version for FO1+2 and TOEE which I wasn't planning on until today. On Chapter 6 now, everyone's at level 6-7 and finally kicking some ass. The Ankheg cave got me several levels, and you can also lug their shells...

What do these P numbers translate to in terms of raw number of actual people on? Like what does Firiona get on an average weeknight compared to Coirnav? Looks to me like everything from Antonius on down is pretty dead. Zek, Agnarr, and Vaniki all serve a purpose (and one is in-progress) but I...

Yep, and a year and a half later, I'm finally doing it! Ended up abandoning the PoE playthrough fairly early and now starting with Baldur 1. It's good times. So wait, is Temple of Elemental Evil not good? Was reading about how great it was in the other thread so I went ahead and bought it to...

Cool, now I get it, the character in question needs to have it in their inventory and examine it. I pooled all my spells to Dynaheir and booted out the other two, getting a lot more exp now with hero/Minsc/Imoen/Dynaheir. Might just keep it like this, might go back and recruit Jaheira/Khalid...

Noob question, when I get scrolls like this with a spell on them, can mages "scribe" those? Or are they just a one-shot quick item? My "Mage Spells" book is empty and no options to add anything to it. As it is all my casters have is Magic Missile and it's been like that for ages (on Chapter 3...

Yeah that looks like a zone map for one of the Sols, you can see the lava.

Looking forward to Icewind Dale and a fully-customizable party being the intention, but I'm enjoying characters with actual personality in the meantime. Are Planescape and Tides sci-fi games or are they also D&D? Got the impression they were sci-fi or sci-fi adjacent. Speaking of sci-fi I...

Is "Wild Magic" the reason why her attack spells are hitting my party? Cause I noticed a few times that stuff like Entangle or Color Spray were totally fooking up the party as well as the enemies. Hope that was just Neera and not a normal thing, cause if it's how all the casters are, AOEs are...

Started over, got back most of the way to where I was pretty quickly. Got Minsc and his GF, but had to boot Khalid, so I lost the hot druid. Was gonna boot Neela and invite them back, but I got Edwin so now I'm back to not really having room. Speaking of which, where can I get some good caster...

Damn, I shouldn't have gone to the Mines first. Minsc went psycho and I had to kill him! WTF! Just got his GF. I was super close to getting her when he attacked. No reload is gonna fix it either. Apparently it also changed over to Chapter 2 recently, not sure when or why. Is that time-based? I...
