    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    hmmm I kind of like the idea of karmic dice. Whenever I stacked ridic AC on my tank and nothing could hit him unless they crit, it was kind of silly. The converse is true.

    So for the last 20 years of replaying BG1/2, I've always used a level uncapper as part of a huge number of changes to the game (along with a ton of difficulty and content mods...). With how much content BG3 alleges I wonder how much time will be spent at the level cap, which can get kinda stale...

    https://www.gamesradar.com/baldurs-gate-3-lead-says-your-first-playthrough-should-be-a-custom-character/ boo. I probably won't replay this shit and the dark urge sounds interesting to me.

    I can't help but think that, knowing really nothing about BG3 since I've strategically ignored it for years, my character's backstory is that he's in the reincarnated child of bhaal. https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/The+Dark+Urge seems to fit that pretty well on the surface but I'm...

    Yeah I played through BG about 6 times and the last few I went full respec on all of them. I've made Minsc a monk, a fighter/mage/thief, a cleric/ranger, all kinds of nonsense. Minsc is one of the (depressingly) rare party members in RPGs that is genuinely having fun. Most party members are...

    Re: class/party choice, from: https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Companions is True? So I could reroll Minsc into a bard or sorcerer?

    My plan is to find out which classes are broken OP at release, beat the game as quickly as possible using any exploits I can find online, then whine about the game being too easy.

    Foundation

    If someone edited this show to have just the empire bits and some hari stuff with summaries of what happened elsewhere I'd probably watch season 2. As it is now it's probably not going to happen.

    Life, yea or nay

    I picked OK. Depending on the person I kind of respect someone who would pick Cancel, but chooses to live a productive life. I'm pretty happy overall but it wouldn't take a few acts fundamentally outside my control to contemplate that it all wasn't worth it.

    LitRPG

    Sounds cool, I might look it up. It's narrated by Travis Baldree, who I really like but am kind of tired of audio books from him. Every old guy sounds like Artorian from Dakota Krout's Divine Dungeon universe. Now that I've read some ~10 litrpg / fantasy progression series over the last few...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    This cuts to the core of it. There are so many actors and writers looking to "make it" and that they'll accept dumpster wages for the chance. Everyone wants to get the cut of the pie given to those that can sell tickets, but not everyone can justify it. Meanwhile Hollywood producers have to...

    If that's truly custom and is animated well it'd be one of the best custom faces I've seen in a game.

    Hodor had 16 str in this clip. If he had 15 they would've broken through. If he had 17 he wouldn't have traveled through time to break his younger selves brain.

    One Piece

    This didn't need to be made. Everything about Luffy and his crew looks so much more... mundane than it should be. It just looks like mid at best cosplay, probably wouldn't even get top 3 at comic con.. Also why did they make Emily Rudd look ugly for this?

    Again, sorry to be thick but what were the racial stats (roughly) before the change? The current racial stats seem pretty nominal for an RPG with different races.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Sorry if I'm being dense, did they remove the race stat bonuses / abilities listed here? https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/races

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    +1 vote for strong racial implications in singleplayer-focused RPGs. I don't fully understand the change they made though. There aren't that many race/class combinations that shouldn't be permitted. Maybe Tiefling + some paladin subclasses? Seems like allowing all vs disallowing really...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Would love if EQ embraced enchanter charm throughout EQ up to live. It's one of the few truly high-risk, high-reward gameplay styles in MMO gaming.

    2023 could rank as one of the top years in RPG gaming with Tears of the Kingdom, BG3, Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy and many more

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I didn't play on Vaniki so I'm kinda ignorant on how it works out, but what I'm mostly looking for in a TLP ruleset is something that: * Reduces time spent waiting on respawn or running around the zone pulling ridiculous amounts of rooms * Increases player collaboration by making the content...

    For big games with a strong online following I'd much prefer that a developer facilitates a wiki page as the official documentation than create what will probably be a useless manual with one or more dubiously maintained fan wikis with a bunch of ads. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page...

    AI Image Generation

    You can probably find more educated answers via google, but one of the parts of this challenge is that a lot of AI right now operates on 2D images using some form of convolutional neural networks ( Convolutional neural network - Wikipedia ). Basically, we've found a lot of smart ways to take an...

    AI Image Generation

    This is probably the right move in 2023. I wonder how 3D art generation will evolve over the next few years and how this could be detected or even stopped.

    Cities Skylines II

    I think the challenging problems related to low income areas goes back to the concept of rezoning / construction costs. I recently went to downtown Detroit to an art event at Manistique Community Treehouse Center and was thinking about this thread while driving through a bunch of Detroit...

    The Flash (2023)

    It cracks me up that CW produced a very successful, nine season Flash show (I enjoyed the first three seasons I watched) and WB makes an absolute turd of a movie with an actor that was a dud before all his drama came out. I'm sure that neither group wanted to "unite" their universes by having...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    I'm not really following this story too closely but I'd be totally supportive of a producer taking a writers-first strategy on producing new tv/movies. Whenever I read about the strike I get the sense that producers are cutting costs on writing so severely and isolating writers that it's...

    I feel like I haven't heard much about what Boston Dynamics is focusing on since Hyundai bought them. I hope they release something that totally opens up some industrial sectors but as cool as their demo videos are I haven't seen that impact yet.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yep. I'll play and enjoy it (Probably next year...) but it's the classic circlejerk of gaming "journalists" selling clicks by overhyping a game as much as possible and losers with 50 unfinished games in their backlog spending their time reading about yet another unreleased game. Some people...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I think there's just a lot of people that don't actually enjoy playing the game, they are just addicted to some kind of dopamine rush from "progress". So anything that interrupts that addiction is an attack on their entire life.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I dunno about platform or hardware specific issues but broth skyrim and fallout 4 were totally playable at release for me personally. I didn't play nor count fallout76. The only BGS game that was verrrry broken for me at release was fallout new vegas, and that was mostly obsidian's fault with...
