it's frustrating because, honestly? i don't need them to be comic books fans. that's even sort of the point of the boys... the tropes in comics wouldn't happen in "real life." but i DO expect writers to actually be good at the job they were hired for. i don't actually remember the last time i...

it's pretty clear that they just have no idea how to quantify superpowers. they put trackers in the 7... but how? certain ones make sense, the deep, lamplighter... they didn't have any kind of skin durability that they've told us about... who knows what's up with noir... but maeve, homelander...

i guess that's the solution for you now, but that's clearly a bug. if you have any idea when you stopped being able to talk to them i'd post about it on the official forums

you SHOULD just be able to talk to them at any point. one of the conversation options is "go back to camp" then when you're at camp you can talk to whoever you want to add. you may have to talk to them twice, though as the first conversation script might not have it.

what do you mean "adding a bunch of nifty spells?" as far as being a heal bitch... one of the things i like about 5e is that it disrupts the idea of the holy trinity for party management. you can run a full campaign without having a healer class. i don't think that will translate to a video...

yeah, i'd like either it to auto-end that characters turn, or have a button that just ends THAT CHARACTER'S turn, even if you have multiple with the same initiative. there have been a couple times where, let's say i had 3 people going at the same time. the first one can't move because the other...

what part don't you like? i ask because i really like it. 5e is designed to basically just be a wireframe for the DM's to do whatever they want

5e doesn't work that way though. paladins are "divine" casters, but there's no class-bound tie to any kind of diety. the idea is that they use charisma as one of their main stats specifically because their force of character was so strong, almost like their belief in whatever oath they take (the...

Alignment still exists, it just has no real impact. And there's no way that the rulebook says that an evil alignment player becomes an NPC. I play evil characters all the time. There are certain actions that if I do, the character becomes an NPC, but not just for being evil. I shouldn't say...

That's not exactly true. 5e has gotten away from alignment. Shadowheart's diety, Shar, is evil, but that doesn't necessarily mean shadowheart herself is evil. I haven't actually found any notations of alignment other than mentioning very specific entities like gods and patrons.

Baseline 5e is designed as a "low magic" system, which is pretty silly considering how much magic is flying around... That being said the rules are set up so that DM's can put whatever kind of magic items in their games. If they want a low magic world, that's default, bit if they want to give...

i think i saw something saying it was 25%? but it's hard to tell really because of how much things adjust based on what you do or not. at least in theory, anyway. i haven't seemed to run into anything that drastically changed what was going on, but i haven't gotten too far into it

Depends on the class, but most pick an "archetype" at lvl 3 that help customize your character and give him more abilities. Clerics pick their archetype at lvl 1, wizards at lvl 2. Warlocks get a minor archetype at 1 and another one at 3 Feats/ability score improvements happen at regular...

It's up to you, the 5e manual has a lot to sift through, but you probably would only need to read through a few key chapters. So far, bg3 is following up on my biggest complaint of pathfinder kingmaker in that its pretty terrible for planning out characters if you don't already know what you're...

Also, side note... It's pretty normal nowadays, but you can right click on an NPC (enemy or otherwise) and "examine" them. It will give you a brief rundown of their stats, proficiency bonus and any resistances. I kept critting those imps but only getting 3 or 4 damage... Turns out they are...

You can use cantrips forever, just remember that certain cantrips are considered attacks (you roll to see if you can hit their armor) and some are saves (the enemy rolls to see if they can beat your dc). The sacred flame cantrip is pretty weak in that you might only have a DC of like 14. Also...

The game uses the point buy system for stats, so yes you can't get above 15 without racials at character creation. In order to jump the gap, look for the "jump" button on the bottom toolbar, I think it's a grey color? I'm guessing the release version will have a smidgeon of a tutorial where it...

I think that's the criticism; it was "fine." It's obviously much better than the others in the series, but it's really nothing to brag about. It gets the job done but for the most part it's not something you look forward to

they chose to focus on mp, because mp is easy. in singleplayer games, you have to design missions and all that comes with it... in mp, you just create a sandbox with basic goals and let the players go at it. i understand WHY they focused on mp, but that kind of stuff never really interests me

i read, i think, about half of that article. his arguments seem to be personal taste (not wanting to fight illithids) and simply not understanding the ruleset of 5th edition but blaming that on bg3 itself

the combat mechanics in the first 2 witchers is... really pretty terrible. they were good ideas but had TERRIBLE implementation. witcher 3 was significantly better in that department but it still wasn't that great. i can absolutely understand someone not being able to get into the games because...

Yeah it's not about whether or not they can get laid with a normal guy their age... A bunch of these teachers are even married and they still sleep with their students. It's not even really about sex. There is clearly something else going on under the hood for why they are falling in love with...

i would LOVE to buy a thrustmaster but there is such a drought of games that even support it that who cares. i'm not into flight sims so that leaves only 1 game this year that you can use this thing for. back in the day when wing commander, privateer and mech warrior games had joystick support...

it's almost as if you both functionally mean the same thing except one of you is being pedantic about it

i mean it's a much better alternative to to GaaS. they spend years developing a game with no revenue. putting a game out for EA allows a developer to extend the amount of time they can continue polishing it before "release" without gouging the audience with MTX. i also saw an article a while...

Yeah, I saw some people were trying to make the case that his and black noir are related in some way but it seemed pretty nonsensical. But yeah he looked like a black deadpool

the fresca stuff is just a long playing inside joke between kripke and the writers. they were talking about the scene where the eagle talks to the deep and brings him something to drink to be friendly... they were like, uh.. hey so what do you think he'd bring him? and one of the writers said...

we mentioned it a month or so ago

has there been any news on the sequel?

yup. he's absolutely the most evil person we've seen on screen. he's the kind of devil that has ALL KINDS of ways of getting people to fall in line without having to do anything himself. i'd buy him ORDERING the head popping, but he's not the one doing it.

yeah, i agree. cindi hasn't demonstrated any kind of fine motor control with her powers. and she's also shown to have a lot more variation in her abilities. from what i remember we only see her explode one person, and it wasn't just his head, it was his entire body.

i don't buy edgar being the head popper. i think his character works best as just a lex luthor type regular human. and again, if this were vought trying to stop the court case, neuman should have gotten popped as well.

I believe so, yes. Party size of 4

because i like 3rd person piloting, that's why. calm down

i got it earlier today basically on a whim... i REALLY wish it had 3rd person but whatever... anyway, the gameplay itself is decent. the single player story though is absolute clown world. i haven't seen a single white dude and the characters are so far up diversity's butt that it ended up in...

i think we'll learn more about who the head popper is by looking at who DIDN'T get head popped. during the first incident, like 4 or 5 people were targets but only raynor got popped (jennifer espisito) the other options were the boys, who were fugitives at that point. it sort of begs the...

i'd guess that a lot of the stuff they are adding in the full version won't really add THAT much. they have the assets already done, you know? obviously stuff like sound files from dialogue can add a decent amount of files. but larian like to put games in EA for a good long time so honestly, i'm...

this is a very deep quote about life, but a very shallow quote about video games

i haven't played a TON... got a kidney stone last week and it's KILLING me. i've been pretty drugged up so i haven't been making much progress... after a good dozen times on meg, i finally beat her and then steamrolled everything right up until theseus and those two have humbled me.
