re: BG3 vs BG1/2

re: builds and meta play, I switched to tactician somewhere in the second act but soon in the third act the game got pretty easy. I facerolled most of the third act, just blindly charging in and wasting everything. There was basically nothing that could stand against a twincast-haste from a sorc...

Lame, I wanted to make a useless quip about how interpretting Ethel as jewish is extremely anti-semetic.

Yeah, having played through multiple BG1/2 playthroughs with all the Tactics, Sword Coast Strategems mods, the Concentration mechanic is an A++++ limitation.

I think it's less about romance and more about liking the lore concept of a superbeing turned into a living weapon that is now filled with anger at their torturers. It helped that she was the other half of my wombo combo in ME2, using her psycher yeet to launch enemies into the air for my sniper...

Yeah this doesn't sound like what Mr. Booty was talking about. Some AI that uses a deep learning network of some kind to learn how to play and then being fed a bunch of savepoints and immediate goals would be interesting. I haven't seen anyone talk about testing games like this.

Is there anything you've seen that indicates that BGS is using this? There's a lot of AI chaffe over the last year.

speaking of oversights finally beat this, what a fantastic game. Now to read the other posts in this thread I've been eschewing out of fear of spoilers.

I think I've bought stuff with cash maybe a dozen times since my kids were born. My eight year old has been earning "quarters" for a few years now that they largely spend under my supervision (ex: when I drive to the pet store to buy crickets for whatever varmint he's caught.,..), but my plan is...

What do you know about BGS using AI for QA? I haven't heard anything about it.

Wait, the head of MGS is Mr. Booty?

ahh, using the code: AUG17

I really love how BG3 makes respecs very inexpensive (100 gold, I've earned around 40,000 gold in a playthrough) and unlimited. I wish that was the standard in gaming. I didn't use all my respecs in Elden Ring and probably would've respec'd more if I had unlimited respecs, and enjoyed the game...

How feasible is it to split the ownership such that my kid can use the watch and I don't risk him being able to access any sensitive info (Ex: my emails, my dick pics, random websites he googles, etc) , and my phone doesn't get blown up when he's spamming his buddies?

Elden Ring is a huge game, but it's hard to call it tedious. I'm guessing you're looking for a different word.

We ended up getting the TickTalk4 TickTalk 4 It's OK. As a device it's great and has worked very well so far. It has a huge limitation though since it doesn't have true SMS compatibility. Anyone who texts with my son has to have their dumbass app, which severely limits the utility of the...

Like Gavin said, unless they truly ignored a kid in a time of real crisis, it's hard to be that judgemental. Going further and making a bunch of assumptions that might be bullshit, if they are 85 years old they are a depression era generation. They optimized their life because they thought...

Yeah, it sounded like the tilesets they used in Daggerfall and Arena from the early 90s.

If this movie consisted of like, a dozen 5 minute shorts showing a day in the life of elementals living in a metropolis I think I would've enjoyed it more. I loved the world building, art and scenes just showing this kind of wacky alternate reality. The actual plot felt kinda flat, and the core...

I'd actually respect Larian a bit more if they just cut the game short instead of letting you lose. Even if they had a really short epilogue version of whatever you normally get.

It's crazy that 16 years after Mass Effect 1 and 20 years after Freelancer, we're finally getting the first space exploration shooter/space combat sim RPG.

In 2023 I think the most interesting randomized content is still what was created by one Notch in a garage with Java in Minecraft, though the whole crafting system is based on finding biome-specific materials that starts to lose interest once you explore the biomes. Would be very cool if they...

Join the party. BGS has been polishing this at Microsoft's direction for over a year now. It's guaranteed to be a complete gaming experience.

I've never looked into the stats that make up warhammer figurine gameplay, what are some links to typical stats for these archetypes? Actually, I can't even read this shit and don't know why i bothered asking what the relative on paper power levels are...

This sounds like bullshit. https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/25/22372077/amd-starfield-dlss-fsr-exclusive-frank-azor

I bet it's like any other huge corp where there is a range from the super advanced facilities to the low-tech dilapidated facilities.

New expansion announcement, Space Age https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-373 Pretty cool that Earendel made both the modded version of this and participated in the real one.

Yeah as much effort as Amazon or anywhere else put into loss prevention (let alone stopping their employees from running small drug rings...) there's workers getting the beaks wet constantly and always will. You just can't track everything perfectly and when product goes missing you can't just...

vid cut to the fire

Can't speak to EQ/UO in 1999, but yeah I remember voice chatting in games in 1999 with Roger Wilco, Gamespy etc. Back in '99 my counterstrike clan had 2 practices a week, 2 matches a week. We spent hours trying to get every edge we could in gaming so you bet your ass we were voicechatting...
