I'm on team #gitgud here too. I knew nothing about the game or 5e and found the difficulty just fine. As soon as I started learning the rules everything started melting. I didn't cheese anything and barely touched the consumables. A skilled gamer with a lot of experience with 5e should be able...

I loved BG3 but the fights all felt like they were in the same design of two layered wide corridors. I would've enjoyed it being mixed up with some wide open spaces, forested areas with trees to hide behind, really tight corridors, fights where the party was boxed in, etc.

I'm level 20 playing on hard. Ever since finding my Lawgiver I've just used it. When I found it I had 550 rounds and am down to 300. It's effective at very far range and close quarter combat, it's very strong. My "build" is a couple points into ballistic weapons and one point into rifle. I'm...

It's funny how unintuitive yet powerful this strategy, that we've been employing in EverQuest for over 20 years, is. Anytime I used it in BG3 it felt like pure cheese.

lmao I was wondering if that was possible. hippity hoppity the mobs go bippity boppity.

Thanks. It's so much fun exploring a newly released game with no fully fleshed out wiki right there explaining everything.

I got rekt by those gnolls when I was level 2. Noped my way into a lower level area and came back near the end of the act and curbstomped them. I think this was on balanced mode before I switched to Tactician. For me Act 1 "meta" was all about trying to find the lowest level mobs available. I...

Yeah the massive variation in weapon damage is confusing. I'm not sure if there's an attribute like "calibrated" that's causing it or if there's just a hidden ilvl scalar doing it. Right now I'm using a lawgiver and it's one-shotting mobs ez. I'm actually thinking about switching difficulty to...

The description of the starport for your outpost says you get a bunch of mods, I'm not sure if it's a superset of all available parts or what.

The parent trait is advised, they're just so wholesome. Terra Firma is probably optimal, like Cinge says almost all fighting is on land. Maybe that'll change later or with mods. Feels like very few story quests will have you board enemy vessels, so unless you chose that life you'll be fighting...

Giving ship combat a try, was kinda put off at first but this looks good.

disagree. Man there's so many people arguing about whether this game is good. I've never seen such a divisive game release. I'm on team I love this game.

brother the game is way ahead of you. Here's the patch of flouride I'm farming.

Also I'd love a mod that brings Karlach into Starfield. With eleven labs I'm pretty sure that could happen.

Starfield isn't better than BG3. But i am enjoying it more. Partially related:

"romance" options in starfield are ... Different from BG3.

OK I've got my outpost set up. It's producing Comm Relays. I've got these outposts: Narion system, Sumati planet, Andraphon moon: Produces helium, iron and aluminium. Also main production base. Narion system, Sumati planet: Produces Copper Alpha Centauri system, Olivas planet, Zamka moon...

Who did he groom?

I'm jumping into outpost building. Choosing an outpost beacon location is the most jank shit. Maybe I'm missing something but I found a moon that has a bunch of starter resources on it but couldn't place the beacon where I could access them all until I searched on the internet. There's one 10...

oh shit the facebook brigade is coming, everyone pretend like you aren't having fun

Starfield: square barrelling and counters that reset when murders happen.

I think I get the exp even if i dont participate in the combat, but don't get credit for the challenge. I didn't test it thoroughly so maybe vorph is right i dunno.

Anyone use the shotgun? Im a rifle man rn. I'm rolling with the lawful good sarah or whatever. I've been on hard mode the entire game and she kind of trivializes everything. She's immortal and wastes anything she's actually hitting. The optimal strat is generally kiting mobs into her. Kinda...

I loved BG3 but everything felt hyper focused on providing you the exact experience the designers wanted with a few very lovingly built paths for you to follow. It felt close to a choose your own adventure book, which is great. Conversely, Starfield embraces the open galaxy gameplay and even...

It gets easier. By act 3 it's face roll if you roll with effective builds. If i played again I'd eschew using boots, rings, amulet, helmets and gloves. And maybe just play with three characters.

Anyone know a good community resource of skill magazines? I hate missing these dumb things and also hate scouring the bases looking for them.

From my recent savescumming experience I feel like melee loot is more likely to be tagged rare.

Mob loot is spawned on death. Me savescumming after finding out about this: after like 8 savescums on a level 16 pirate boss of some shithole. Cheating with style. I doubt I'll keep doing it, but it's kinda fun to explore the loot pool in a new game.

"I'm working!"

Oh thank god. https://mapgenie.io/starfield/maps/new-atlantis

My monk was 8 monk + 4 rogue. Bonus actions on a monk are super strong, making that third level on a rogue very powerful.

Damn, I visited my parents and they have a display of condoms right there on their kitchen.

Battle Master is a versatile subclass, using a shield with it is fine. I didn't find shields on a tank class that useful because the AI is smart enough to prefer weaker targets. I used shields on my casters.

8 cha is fine. Not only because of what Hateyou said, but also because you can get buffs to help your charisma-based rolls. I also took the Noble background to get Persuasion proficiency, though I don't know if I'd go that route again. Also you can reroll anytime for pennies and chagne your...

I think I'm done with this thread till I beat it, don't want spoilers or whatever. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

For ES6 they should take another 5 years of development time and just switch to Unreal Engine 5, and work with Epic Games to turn whatever they make into an open-source Unreal plugin and their Creation Kit into an open-source Unreal Engine Editor plugin.

6700XT is a fairly old video card innit? I think it costs less than your CPU! I'm actually looking at getting a 7800X3D CPU because it's popular for Factorio.

I popped up some performance monitoring to see if I couldn't just upgrade my GPU. Nope. CPU is getting rekt.
