    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It'd be feasible to add a harderer mode. You'd just need to use the power of action economy. And by that I mean, yeet out a bunch of extra mobs for a bunch of encounters and increase the stats/levels for enemies across the board. Especially initiative. BG3 on hard-mode is notably easy...

    A harder difficulty mode is definitely a requirement for a future, DLC-bolstered playthrough of BG3 for me.

    Controller Thread - for PC and/or console

    Ordered 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGWTTC3L last night to play Smash Ultimate. I have the pro controller but needed another to play with my kids. I got this one because it has two buttons on the back of the controller. One thing about controllers that is crazy to...

    My son (8 years old) bought smash this weekend, we've been having fun playing it. I'm surprised this thread isn't more active. I've been playing Kirby, Roy and Pyra/Myrtha.

    ok, I'm with you so far If I get a wand of sleep and use it to make a mob unable to use their actions, does that change the action economy?

    The disconnect is literally everyone in this conversation has proposed a different definition of Action Economy. Game on brothers, I'll stop shitting this thread up. Anytime someone proposes what good action economy is, I'll just ask them what their definition of Action Economy is before...

    Action Economy is a dumb phrase, so I don't blame the community for having homebrew definitions.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Pick one, brother. I don't think action economy being solely action count is consistent with the definitions I read. But if it is, in BG3, total action count is only one of several factors in party lethality. See: My two barbarians one-actioning mobs that do jack and shit for damage. In BG3...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I saw and heard the phrase "action economy" a lot when I was playing and reading BG3 and I still don't understand what the phrase "action economy" means and how it differs from words like power or lethality. ex: If you add the missing item of "reduce the number of actions of enemies" it just...

    I left it on. I like it as a concept. The issue of it making swarms of low level mobs more threatening was never a big deal because there just aren't a lot of those encounters.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's trivial to find a group. ...... If you've got a built up social network and 2 or 3 boxes you can bring to bear. It's basically impossible to roll a new character, advertise LFG and get anywhere. Unless you've got some buddies to carry you I'd say that if you're not willing to 3 box, play...

    I imagine most baseline QA testers who want to get paid big $$$ in the future have a plan to elevate into other game development careers. Automated testing of games (and other software with game-like interfaces) is a pretty good career and someone with a strong background as a QA tester has an...

    If they make it such that any non-class specific gear is retained, that'd be great. My 8 visible and class-specific gear slots + weapon can be replaced more easily than all 22 or whatever gear slots. Will be funny to effectively have multiple box groups with the same chars. This is what I've...

    Me after getting caught up on all my book series and trying to decide the next series I'm going to read. Anyway, I'm reading Awaken Online.

    That's the theory, yeah. Alternatively if it's a shroud 2.0 thing where I can make my warrior a "shadowknight" with like, 10 spells but unique gear I can upgrade, that'd be a total waste of time probably.

    I doubt they'll do anything like that. Krastorio 2 offers some endgame production features , but I don't know of any mods that add something like 20x20 miners. Krastorio 2

    The Astronomy Thread

    My bet is that we'll be creating some massive space telescopes that can fit on a Starship and yeet them up. No extra construction from multiple-launches required. The JWST's diameter is 6.5 meters, it looks like the Very Large Telescope is 8.2 meters. It probably won't be that hard to beat...

    I bet we're going to yeet the biggest telescopes of all time into space in the next ~20 years. Like, multi-satellite telescopes with fairly large fields of view that are built to detect and track small, cold objects in our solar system.

    all right so I'm trying to set up a fairly basic production of high-value goods. I don't know if this makes sense from a metagaming perspective and I don't really even care. I'm trying to make steel, copper, silver etc amulets and then encrust them with high value gems, hoping the end result...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    That's one thing I liked about the Expanse. It takes place in a similar time period as Starfield, a few hundred years after colonization. In that time an entirely new culture of vulnerable people evolved with their own dialect, issues and history. It presents a more interesting and realistic...
