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

If in the future you ever actually have any real info on developers using AI QA and aren't just making stuff up, tag me with a link , I'd love to read it!

I remember Skyrim was streaming for a few days before release and I enjoyed watching a few hours. There's only one chance for a bunch of newbies to explore a game like this, and an entertaining streamer doing it with a bunch of people egging them on is pretty good. I'll probably be emotionally...

Thinking about a notional "hardest mode" a bit more, one challenge that would be interesting is if Larian sectioned off certain parts of the campaign that had to be beaten in one rest in order to gain a normal victory condition. Ex: This is partially brought from not liking the "immersion...

Early access starts at 8PM EDT https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-release-time Review embargo lifts at noon EDT https://www.videogamer.com/news/starfield-review-embargo/ Is anyone streaming Starfield rn?

Rest assured that this broke ass 1990s Gamebryo engine will always feature floating friends.

I'm no investment genius but I'm in a sommmewhat similar situation where I take home more than I spend and have to chose between paying down my mortgage and investing it. My mortgage interest rate is 2.85%, which is waaay lower than what you can expect to make when investing and is even...

I wonder what it'd take to mod this armor into Starfield. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15901 looks soooo flat compared to Space Marine 2. edit: let's gooo

that looks extremely good.

Rhanyn watching his low-prep coworkers heading to work on Tuesday:

I don't think this really holds in BG3, because

Nah, it's a great model. The developers get a chance to stress their system while filching hardcore fans of some $$$ and any release issues get ironed out for the people most willing to deal with the bugs instead of the unwashed masses. For most games I could give a shit about premium and early...

Todd Howard's release memo.

+ Elite Dangerous + Mass Effect

Yeah I definitely don't need more mobs unless Larian finds a way to "fast-roll" the results to have more NPCs taking simultaneous actions. I've been thinking about what an "Insane" or "Legacy of Bhaal" mode or Sword Coast Strategems type mod could be in BG3 and it'd definitely either be...

These all seem like questions that could be reasonably answered within the context of a goliath sorcerer and with answers colored by his race that would be different than a half-elf sorcerer with similar intelligence. It could be that he's tactically an int5 dumbass but at a young age was...

I like how Wired makes low quality regurgitation of articles about reddit posts, doesn't link the original reddit post (from what I can tell) and has the audacity to paywall it. This cracks me up. I roll my eyes when people crack out their phones to take pics of moons or fireworks or...

It's funny that I can't find any "gaming journalist" that did a deep dive on what % of the last 100 million were crowdsourced contributions, what is private backing from investors and what are pure bullshit figures. Gaming journalists are probably too busy trying to increase engagement with...

Kinda cool, timeline leading up to BG3. Spoilers for the whole game here:

spoilers re: Karlach

I think I was able to just ride the nostalgia train every 5ish years.

Dwayne eats the apple, core and all, then rock bottoms Queen Grimhilde. Roll credits.

Nah, the inverse. I'm a developer who hates testing and am super interested in any kind of AI productivity tools.

It's OK, I have a permit.

I'm about 80% sure you're capping and are assuming way too much integration of Microsoft's broad array of technology with literally a subsidiary (BGS) of a subsidiary (zenimax) of a subsidiary (xbox game studios).
