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.

This piece of trash Gamebryo engine is whipping my poor 5 year old computer's ass. I've got an i7-9700K and GTX 1080 Ti and it's just not cutting it. Looking to spend ~1500. Not sure if I want to build a totally new one or just replace parts. I've put together about 10ish computers over the...

About 3 hours in, am enjoying the game. I need a new PC. FUCK

That's a good idea but I'll be too busy day1ing some other broken piece of crap.

IT'LL BE READY JUST IN TIME TO START THE THREE HOUR LONG BEDTIME RITUAL WITH MY KIDS

IIRC for Skyrim and Fallout 4 the creation kit was delayed by moooonths. I wonder if it'll be a faster release since Bethesda has been polishing this for longer.

I'd be interested to know what end-game CR value mobs would do to make themselves unbeatable to a group of level 12 adventurers, given the changes in BG3 vs 5e. I know in BG1/2 AC, THAC0 and saves would scale with level, so if you were waaay underleveled you had a hard time landing shit. When...

When the user docs evolve enough to enumerate all the ways that resting or going to camps can break quests, I'll be really interested to see it. The one time i experienced it in grymforge with zero warning was really surprising.

As is tradition!

fuckin' square, why don't you go back on a toot until you know your onions before you get Chicagoed

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1086940/announcements/detail/3656414378543586472 Still here? Great! Withers has heard tales of Tavs, having requested the presence of their friends for an afternoon of adventuring, wanting to return to the lifestyle of a solo adventurer without their friends in...

Yeah I dug up the BG3 executable and ran it directly each time. No Steam, Larian Launcher or whatever.

Here's a video of what I want my spec to be

t=7:57 SKREEEEE

I remember finishing a cave in some modded-to-hell-oblivion playthrough that I ended by crawling out with like a dozen super heavyweight glass warhammers. It took me 5 fast-travel trips to sell it all. #neveragain

So I'm looking through items in the BG3 wiki and this is crazy

Yeah and going through it blind the first time was kinda annoying. The . That's a big reason why I slept as little as possible. It'd be kinda lorebreaking to have something in the game tell you when you can and can't sleep without fucking up your plot, but I wouldn't have minded it.

Yep. I disliked resting enough that I chose a party spec that didn't need to rest all that much. Ended the game with 2 barbarians that could rage 5x times per long rest and a sorcerer whose primary job was to twincast haste, which he could do more than 5x times per long rest. This was totally...

Brother here's a pic of me after the amount of savescumming I did in BG3 I have fond memories of BGS games that I mod to be ridiculously difficult to the point where I need to retry combat encounters many times before I beat them successfully. I have every expectation to burn an entire...

Will probably get about 10 hours in before player.setav CarryWeight 20000 Coming out of Baldur's Gate 3 with its modest looting / inventory management setup I'm not up for juggling space dildos or whatever.

Did Bethesda only hire like 5 voice actors again? Speaking of AI, @Utnayan ElevenLabs comin' for that minimum wage voice actor $$$. https://elevenlabs.io/blog/game-creators-to-unlock-groundbreaking-voiceover-tech-thanks-to-elevenlabs-and-bud-tie-up/

IGN USA Dropping clickbait, get the pitchforks! IGN France gave a 9/10, IGN Brazil gave a 9.5/10, IGN Japan gave a 10/10, IGN Spain gave a 10/10

I dusted off my foot pedals last night. I'm guessing I won't use them though. I haven't seen the ship combat but I'm guessing it's low APM, low-skill and uses something like VATS.

Looks like Microsoft didn't cut IGN a check like they got for Cyberpunk to give it a 9/10 . Cyberpunk 2077 [Reviews] - IGN , they gave Starfield 7/10 :D
