well you have to know which spells are useful long term. learn your grease, haste, web, mass enlarge, mass bull's strength and summons.

her ending of becoming a book is pretty silly too.

I think all companions had good side stories, except maybe Regongar and octavia

damn, that's already better than all D&D movies ever made.

yeah, for most story companions, you only "lose" a couple of levels before you can level them into decent classes. Regongar, Octavia, Linzi, Valerie, Amiri, Harrim, Jaethal and Tristian you get them early enough that you can specc them into something better. the only ones who are really bad out...

I guess one shouldn't be too surprised about King writing himself into his own book. whenever he's involved with a movie/TV adaptation of his works he joins in as an extra in it. ha also adds a lot of cringey scenes into TV adaptations, like the old Shining version.

yeah these days, the combined power of the internet will very likely guess the ending of your story, especially if you attract enough of a following, very quickly. people even guessed the Hodor thing long before a dance with dragons. it's like the Lost series, people guessed the "mystery" within...

I think it was all pre-planned. and people have seen Bran becoming king as a very strong possibility since the start. the only thing that seems really out of touch and kind a stupid is the way the Night King ended, way before Cersei and everything else. I think most believed the Night King would...

also the worst thing about the dark tower ending is that king KNEW it was shit when he put it out. after Susannah gets the "good ending" (and everyone else dies), he interjects in the story and basically writes "so, dear reader, why don't you just put down this book and pretend that was the real...

also, instead of continuing with this super villain portrayed in other books as having all kinds of crazy magic powers, manifesting as weird creatures and ability to travel between dimensions, let's make it into an old screeching man throwing bombs from a balcony.

the crimson king as done in insomnia was better than all the crimson king incarnations that came afterwards.

Yeah, in the book he even knows Flagg is losing it, but decides to stick with him. also the scene of him shooting glenn is completely trashed too in this version. Instead of having Flagg and Lloyd in an interrogation room with Flagg shrinking away from glenn and screeching for lloyd to help him...

Yeah him getting owned by a hastily introduced spider boy was a pretty pathetic ending for supposedly King's super villain.

so if this game is gonna have a lot of big army battles with I assume the main character, I guess one is going to have to go with a teamwork based MC for power play, and again put lots of points into persuasion.

I mean the fact that they had him fork over the ending and major plot points at the start of the project means they had a pretty good idea he wasn't gonna finish on time, possibly ever. he only has himself to blame for giving away the ending. for sure drogon melting down the iron throne, jon...

basically the big finale... the trashcan man "reveal" becomes weird because the whole interaction and storyline with trashcan has been trashed. he's supposed to take the nuke to an airplane but takes it to flagg instead because... no reason. no deeper interactions between lloyd and flagg. Lloyd...

As with most dnd style games, sorcerers are the most powerful. Especially sylvan sorcerers start out with a strong pet that helps out a lot during early levels when casters are weaker. Alchemists are pretty good overall too.

so was the rebellion crushed or is it just beginning?

Yeah divine divinity was alright as a more role play alternative to diablo at the time, but with movable objects. Kinda cluttered at times though BG2 was more restricted in terms of areas to visit, but each area was more packed with stuff and allowed for revisiting during quests, while in bg1...

almost at the end now. "the walk" episode was maybe the closest to the book so far, and overall one of the better. they completely gutted trashcans character though.

Yeah, Pillars, pathfinder and original sin games also show what stats and character background checks you need for certain dialogue options. Baldurs gate had some very rudimentary stat options, where basically if you had enough charisma you could get extra rewards in some quests.

The easiest to get into... it depends on your previous game history. Once you know the basics of Baldur's Gate, you also know the basics of Icewind dale, Neverwinter nights and Planescape torment, they are all based on basically the same DnD system. Pathfinder is also quite similar to Baldur's...

yeah the whole barony building part of pathfinder really drags down the game for me, the game time deadlines are also an annoyance. plus the first 5-6 levels are terrible, after that the game opens up. the storyline, NPC interactions and dungeon-delving are all really really solid.

Yeah planescape torment is amazing in terms of storyline and writing, but suffers graphically and mechanically. Tides is in a completely different setting (Earth 1 billion years into the future, while Planescape is set in Sigil a city of dimension doors tied into Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance...

yeah D:OS2 is definitely more polished in terms of both storyline and mechanics compared to D:OS1. they are not particularly connected.

agree with the part CRPGs games mentioned above. also add pillars of eternity 2, better mechanics but worse story than PoE 1. the modern shadowrun games are pretty solid too, if you want a bit different setting (cyber punk+fantasy) especially shadowrun: dragonfall. the new wasteland games are...

some of the few streamers I used to follow have gotten partners, families, and have just overall reduced their online time by a lot. some of them are getting older and just don't have the stamina to be up for like 12+ hours a day like 6 years ago. now they're up for maybe 6-7 hours or so, and...

Just think of Valinor as Wakandinor.

so many small things the old TV series implemented better from the book. they actually went ahead and made a "baby can you dig your man" jingle and had it repeated several times in the show:

I mean arguably the thing the "heroes" do is show up, rattle Flagg as he's killing them so the people under him start to question him and make him lose his cool. but that's about it.

Flagg's attention was also diverted because the people under him had planned a coup, and he was taking care of that when trashcan came back with the bomb.

this is going to be so woke, god damn.

so many weird decisions... the whole penthouse scene with Bobby-Terry, the face off between Abagail and Flagg... completely unnecessary and stupid changes. the removal of the whole traveling the desolate america part is one of the most disappointing parts. wasn't trashcan supposed to have a...

episode 2: Nadine, Larry (black), Ralph (now Ray, a woman), Nick (hispanic) Lloyd and Leo (asian) introduced, main focus on Larry and Lloyd, still a lot of time-skipping back and forth.

yeah king has a habit of starting off strong and then kind of letting things fall apart mid-way, the dark tower series is another example. the shining was pretty solid throughout though, and a few others.

I guess they might revisit harold's storyline. because they also added a bunch of extra fluff about him being bullied and his family, and skipped the whole travelling through wasteland US and meeting Stu and Glenn and others bit.

they haven't even introduced Larry or Nick in the show yet. Only Stu, Fran, Harold and a little bit of Flagg. and yeah they start it with Harold cleaning bodies in the zone, then time skip back to Fran and Harold becoming the only ones left alive in their town and then forward to Fran being...

agree, the strength of stephen kings books in general are the beginning slow and steady build-ups, so it's really weird that they try and skip around and mess that whole part up.

watched the first episode. so basically following the book but adding a lot of time skipping back and forth, focusing and adding a lot on Harold and less on Fran and Stu for some reason, and changing the setting to a more contemporary one and not 1980s. Whoopie Goldberg as Abigail. no blue...
