    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    In the EE version the toughest encounter in the game in BG1/BG2/ToB on Legacy of Bhaal mode is the rat fight in Candlekeep. The mechanics of Legacy of Bhaal make the rats super powerful and it's the very start so you can't prepare your way through it or use any real game mechanics to beat it.

    Very cool. I think it's mankind's highest priority to build the biggest solar sail satellite we can and use it to reflect the light into people's eyes to fuck with them. But seriously I wonder how wide of a solar sail we could launch on the falcon heavy with today's tech. It's 5kg and has a...

    That could also be a partial list. I'd love it if they brought back all the old zones with just a bump in the mob difficulty and not much else, and then fleshed out with new zones that had progression quests, collectibles etc.

    The only characters who should come back as a playable character is Minsc/Boo and Edwin since they are iconic and on the lighter side. I'm sure Jim Cummings will do some voice over-work, so why not have him do Minsc too.

    I'm pretty sure you can install SCS mid-way and it'll be fine. Back up your saves ofc. I'd also recommend not installing all the buffs to wizards letting them cast their bullshit in SCS.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    DA:O is probably top twenty. Top ten when it came out easily. There have been just so many great RPGs to come out, and games like Witcher3, Ultima7, TES5 etc get a bit of a boost from being part of a strong, fleshed out and consistent franchise, where as DA:O is clouded by the failure of its...

    After playing like, nearly every big sword and sorcery RPG ever made i have zero problems with a game pushing space stuff or anything else that isnt typical. Im like two hours into divinity of sin and i can tell you im not excited about fighting orcs.

    harvesting bots are great, but I think an approach that shakes the bush/tree/plant and then collects what it drops is going to be the way to go instead of hand actuation. How that translates to strawberries I have no idea. 2:11:

    Somebody probably should've told these dumbasses that traffic stops are secondarily for enforcing traffic laws and primarily for catching people breaking non-traffic laws by inspecting criminal vehicles who can't help but break traffic laws.

    The two big questions I have for those robots is cost and runtime/distance between charges. They look spectacular and can handle many mobility challenges that wheeled robots aren't suited for. I can think of numerous use cases where they could be used even with limited range. And I bet they are...

    Minecraft Dungeons

    Looks cool, but I'd be more interested in whether it's an open game that allows player created dungeons and mods. Not sold on the isometric view, it's just so... limiting and overdone.

    I want to buy a switch for my 4 yo kid, but am not sure if he'll enjoy it that much or if it'd even be good for him, lol. Plus his taste in cartoons is shit, what am I going to do if he's bad at video games? I don't want to carry him through gaming his whole life.

    Anyone who doesn't use advanced loot spends as much time clicking corpses as I spend making them. The only problem I have with it is the rare incidents of crashes when modifying your filters. This happens most regularly when mass killing entire zones (where advanced loot is best used).

    I like BG1 better than BG2 because A: The DND combat works better, IMO, when it's more simple at lower levels B: BG1 is effectively an open world game with a main mission that takes you through a large, linear storyline. BG2 has an open world-quest hub (Athkatla) with a bunch of large, linear...

    tbh I would love to see their two best players dueling to win, it's a much better measure of how the combat is vs a guy trying to smoothly move through a level.

    We'll see, but it's going to be finished in a few months and AAA games are rarely better at release than they are at E3. Right now it looks like a stilted melee combat game with lightsaber-looking bats.

    If it wasn't Jim Cummings doing the voice, I might be inclined to agree. His characters get a lot of latitude with me. Same with Mark Hamil.

    Yep. The trailer set the stage for it to be as dark as bg1/bg2 generally was, but I'm sure there will be some camp in it.

    Progression PvP is probably the only progression server I'd consider playing. I bet they don't want it because it'd be a huge drama-fest when some jerk with 50 mages from VMs starts camping players like they're camping hill giants. I am proud that in an AMA directed at the producer I asked the...

    I wanted to go horde back in beta. All the PvP guilds went horde so we went alliance. I stuck with it years later. I did roll horde in beta though. Leveling a undead mage in one of the first patches that had them was fun.

    Trailer was pretty much perfect. Had the same feel of the old trailers while also showing something that was not only grounded in Baldur's Gate lore, but is super exciting. There's a bunch of different directions they could take a BG3 game and illithid is the most ambitious and the most...
