Graham and Ryan leaving after the already-filmed xmas special. Yaz will continue on as the presumably sole companion.

Yeah you can't do a whole Mindflayer based game without Githyanki. Of course I would also say you can't do it without Psion as a class but 5e still hasn't figured out what to do about Psionics. 4e Psionics worked really well, so much so that I kinda wonder if you couldn't just shoehorn the 4e...

Well that certainly did upend everything we knew about Gallifrey and the Time Lords in general... The Daleks have to be suuuuuper pissed that it was the Cybermen that got to a destroyed Gallifrey ahead of them. Even more so if the Master saved some of his CyberLords when he escaped. The big...

How badass was the opening cinematic though? I mean seriously that was incredibly well done and its clear that Hasbro / Larian is going all-in on this. This is exceptionally smart for Hasbro as D&D was very nearly dead 6ish years ago but then Acquisitions Incorporated, Vox Machine, and Dice...

Almost certainly. I've been avoiding touching any surface and still everyone is drowning themselves in purell, but there's only so much one can do.

At the first panel for this at PAX East. It's a bit awkward as it's clear that some SQuenix types were meant to be here. I really like that this is not a game as a service but has a strong single story in the box with an actual end. They seem like they have bigger ideas for a universe but...

I did read one article that gave a well reasoned justification for their preference for RTWP. The argument was they could cue up multiple actions and have lots of simultaneous stuff going on, especially movement and reaction abilities. I will concede that turn-based games don't have the same...

Clearly the Illithids are a major part of the plot as we heard from the gameplay reveal, but they are even incorporating their ships from Spelljammer.

I likewise used the Plano boxes, picked em up from REI dirt cheap and they work very well

Thought for sure with a WoW expansion and Overwatch 2 coming out that there would be a big Blizzard presence at PAX... Nope. Only thing was a large 'normal' booth off to the side with Overwatch League stuff (that essentially no one was visiting)

I wanna show this game to the me of the past who was blown away by Pool of Radiance and watch his mind snap....

Nice its coming to Steam on March 13th and Steam vs Epic crossplay will work.

At 1:16 in the video you can see another view of that same whiteboard from the side as someone is writing. At this point they have circled "No single (main) character" and "The Force" but below that also have: moral but subtle good vs evil intergenerational adventures force growth layered...

The Ferengi were the real standouts for me. The storylines involving them plus the look into their culture etc. While they were often played for laughs it was still a great allegory for society in general, especially when you had scenes like this. Actually of all the cultures explored in...

Based on comments here I picked up Last Epoch and have been playing it some. It feels less slick than Wolcen, but that may be expected due to the lack of complex audio and polish that Wolcen applied as part of their final release. Of somewhat more concern is that I've ran the exact same...

I saw those same reports. Getting rid of DC Comics doesn't mean getting rid of DC properties at all. It can be argued that it might make them stronger by focusing all the creative juices on animated, film, TV, etc. properties instead along with the occasional graphic novel. Comics have been...

Dan Didio out at DC. I guess this makes sense given the number of missteps that have been made on his watch. For decades DC was the mass market superhero company where people knew Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc but were unaware of Marvel outside of Spiderman and the Hulk. Now the...

I wonder if they will get Robert Picardo to do a guest appearance at some point. In my headcannon they made him the head of Starfleet Medical because he worked some goddamn medical miracles over 7 years on Voyager. Hell when Seven shot Icheb I was stunned because aint nothing wrong with him...

Its gonna be both good and bad that they are releasing these one-a-week

I had seen some of this right after the premiere but this is batshit... It really could trigger another wave of creative output the same way blue/greenscreen did in the 80s

https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/19/21132128/gamestop-employees-report-extreme-pressure-desperate-bosses They continue to circle the drain it sounds like. I stopped going to Gamestop a decade ago when they became a full-fledged pawn shop and haven't regretted it seince. I am annoyed, however...

What the hell is this?!? That box aint gold!

There is certainly some evidence that this is the case (notably the Bank building) but I wouldn't want to assume anything at this point.

Excited to see it at PAX though. Its the sort of game that will likely be hard to get 'right' in terms of a balance between classic players and modern sensibilities.

The endgame goes all Pathfinder Kingmaker on ya and makes you do all sorts of things to unlock bonuses and whatnot. I wouldn't want to do this on a second character!

So now that the Romulan Star Empire is gone, does that mean the Federation can finally start using cloaking devices? It also begs the question as to what happened to the rest of the Romulan space. Yeah, losing the homeworld was a big blow but they had a sizeable chunk of territory in the beta...

The 'endgame' is some crazy shit... I had no idea there was this stuff with building buildings and such

I finished the main plotline and the most notable thing that occurs to me is that I never really made use of the Apocalyptic forms other when forced by plot. In fact I used it so infrequently that whenever I DID use it I was just button mashing while I used it to cheat death.

I will note that I have not seen any of these issues or bugs save the whole server offline business this past weekend. The biggest issue I ran into was zoning back into the previous zone and landing inside a piece of scenery but I just used fast travel to pop back out.

It is very clear that the plotline gets rushed, especially in Chapter 3. Chapter 1 starts out very narrowly focused and gradually builds to being part of a much larger story with a mystery box at the center. Chapter 2 marches right through what could have been an extended chunk of the game...

Doing much better now that I've sussed out that some stats don't seem to do what you might think they should and started looking at the skills page to see the actual effect of different tradeoffs. Most annoying thing is that there's no viable 1h option for mages that lets them use a Relic or...

I know that spot and you just have to leave the game and come back in. You end up redoing that zone traversal a second time but when you do it again she will talk to you. If it helps any I had this problem when I came towards her from the north rather than from the south (which I did the...

I've been playing offline and having fun with it. Its enjoyable to unlock new powers and fiddle with gear to get the most out of what abilities you have, especially when you experiment and find a combination you hadn't considered is a lot more fun. I do have to wonder what sort of hell they...

The fact that Dee Bradley Baker is able to make all the clones sound distinctly different is still amazing to me.

FUCK TAPESTRY!!! (LOL) Had a second game this time with 5 players and I made the colossal error of picking Historians. Historians are super cool in a 2 player game and can be really strong in even a 3 player game, but in a 5 player game they can be (and in my case were) total horseshit. I...

I've actually tried to play Grim Dawn a few times and I just can't stand it for some reason. I come back to it every few months and say "oh yeah! This looked cool, why did I not play this?" Then I install it, go into my level 10 dude that has been sitting there for ages already and run around...

I keep hoping that a sequel will be announced as a launch title for PS5...
