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.

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 use this on all my boxes. Only my main renders characters. /follow works better with really high framerates, i cap mine at 85

Day 1 exploit: Resetting my tradeskills to 0

I think finding this planet would've extended my playtime by about ten hours.

New illusion is very topical.

They need to go deeper to cleanse their company.

I can totally imagine wealthy or even just famous people with limited schedules hiring squires to carry them in games.

I just preordered the next, unannounced AC game to gift to you.

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. It starts with a prologue that spoils some portion of the start of the book, FUCK. Whatever I read until I get to where the prologue is boring and has no...

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.

The persona feature "Also new for this year, take advantage of Alternate Personas where you can swap between different classes quicker while retaining your current inventory, crafting skills, and flags." Is the biggest announced change. Someone did some hackery to peek at it: If it's an...

I wouldn't want it but I could see people building megabases in mostly vanilla loving a 20x20 miner that had 20x fully loaded belts shitting out one of the sides.

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

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.

Bingo, thanks! I wrongly assumed those different filters were OR operations, which would be dumb now that I'm thinking about it more.

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...

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...

The actress that voices Andreja looks like sarah morgan and vice versa. Cissy Jones and Emily O'Brien

Train throughout will be massive with this.

Of all the reasons I'm interested in integration of LLMs like ChatGPT in games, I think being able to tell NPCs to get fucked is pretty high up there.

Why stop there? Make it multi-game. I'd love to bring my Dragonborn from Baldur's Gate 3 into World of Warcraft!

An MMO built around the concept of a party RPGs would be interesting, if a bit of a limited market. You could focus on different levels of control: * Controlling each character individually, aka alt-tab boxing * Relying on /follow type mechanics and using something like key broadcasting...

I think the most valuable parts of EQ's lore have to do with memorable zones, NPCs, items and quests. yep

There's only four companions with depth. Sam, Andreja, Sarah and Barret.

Probably not. From now till 2028 I think you'll see more and more Skyrim mods and a few proofs of concept doing LLM->Content stuff. The hard part is generating content in a usable format and integrating it. https://gamerant.com/skyrim-quests-chatgpt-ai/

So much about the Starfield setting doesn't make much sense.

My city gets a huge chunk of its revenue from property taxes, most of which are primary living properties. How would you want them to replace those funds?

Thanks for posting that, it's something I've been wondering for a while. After saving for what feels like my entire life I bought my first house a few years ago. It's something like 3100sqft with a full finished basement. 3.5 baths. Backs up to a wooded area. Even four years later it still...
