Favorite Ranger pet?

Bg3 won so hard that Obsidian and owlcat are going turn based now btw.

>>538491418
I don't think in terms of who won or who lost I enjoy good rpgs and hope for more of them

>>538491509
I agree. BG3 isn't for me, but I think: Rising tide lifts all boats

>>538492458
Nasa has a press conference coming up about a weird rock they found on Mars
Might be aliens.
That's the only announcement I can think of.

>>538492456
Does anything come of it? Does the crew mutiny?

How come only Owlcat, Larian and CDPR are making CRPGs?

>>538492560
Rogue Trader is more like a tv show. It has episodic adventures, an interesting cast, and the writing is mainly dialogue. With some editing it would be suitable for a set of scripts for a 24-episode show. Probably best split up over two seasons, with the escape from Cumrag as the first season finale

How does kineticist work? I'm trying to get this tiefling bitch to cast her fire spells but she doesn't ever have enough "burn"?

Should I go shotguns, shotguns and shields, pyro psyker or melee psyker for my unfair Rogue Trader run?

>>538492225
I would make it a rule never to do this
Never to describe how a character says something
It has its place, but overall it seems to lead to lazy and poor quality writing
Better to let the dialogue itself carry everything

>>538498139
There was a period when dnd used to be interested in expanding the world of toril outside of faerun where we got some cool stories like that. I'd love a horselords game where you help not!Genghis Khan unite all the tribes under talos then fight not!king Arthur even if you do lose in the end

>>538499437
Are we getting our red highlighters out again

>>538499437
>lazy and poor quality writing
We're talking about Owlcat though, its to be expected. And they don't even realize it, considering how every dialogue is just a wall of useless text.

United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition, the place you work at for half the game.

>>538503343
It seems like it was cut. Anna Navarre and the lemon-lime guy were pretty major characters and it would have made sense to have a chance to side with them.
Still, the segment in NYC where your former allies turn on you was major kino.

I have the Horde boxed set from the 90s and it's really ace, includes the Tuigan alphabet and even a caravan generator for when you want to get mugged by the not-Mongols on the Silk Road. Incidentally the last two novels of the book series are the only ones I remember off hand, aside from Malazan, what happens when high level mages roll up their sleeves and really let rip.

>>538512547
it teleported, obviously
that's like, the main feature of demons

He made art of Idira in the past

how would yrliet handle being cucked?

Will Big R do anal with Argenta or is that reserved for Yrliet?

> Bg3

Nah, this slop was botted as fuck

Just look at the activity around the game to understand that this is true.
It’s not being discussed anywhere, videos about it aren’t getting views, and no one seems interested.
Games like RT and WOTR are discussed FAR more often, despite having a much smaller online presence. People are watching guides and builds on YouTube for those games, not for BG3.

Everything points to the fact that BG3’s online numbers on Steam were inflated by bots.

>>538493634
make sure she's unarmed. if you are using turned based, then check what level of auto burn reduction you are using. higher levels of auto-burn require more actions(highest level requires 2 movement actions and a casting action)

I know the next dlc won't be until April but do we know about the next patch for RT?

If I'm being truthful, half the BG3 posts in this general are mine and I only make them when I want a quick (You). I have literally never seen that game seriously discussed here, its always used as bait. Every other game you have people blogpost about their playthroughs or favorite characters or lore, but BG3 the most you'll get is "SHADOWHEART HALSIN YJK KEK CHUD TRANNIES BTFO".

>>538514087
Shouldn't you be seething about tencent on /v/?

Solasta was released in 2021 which means larian had two whole years to learn how to properly do 5e combat but chose not to.

>>538513890
What about when she's already pregnant then? Shouldn't anal be okay then?

Reminder that Owlcat devs prefer BG3 to their own games

>>538512547
A bunch of cultists turn into Glabrezu at various points in the game. He was human sized when he entered. In AD&D I don't think Glabrezu can shapeshift, but I guess they can in Pathfinder.

>>538510742
>flamer
This is how you make Argenta sad.
She's a bolter girl.

>>538491418
Naw. Actually BG3 is RTwP under the hood and that's exactly with Obsidian did with Avowed. Checkmate, biotch.

>>538499246
That's a pretty good one, bro.

>>538514087
You're correct but legitimate fans do exist so you'll get pushback. It really should've been called something else instead of BG3. Baldur's Gate: Dark Urge or something.

reminder that not burning all your bridges by saying other studios suck is part of being a community manager

>>538517692
i don't think the game mentions anywhere that you need both hands free to cast kinetic blasts

>>538518010
I think I might've figured it out sooner if I had rolled a kineticist from level 1 instead of picking up a companion that was already a few levels in, but it definitely isn't mentioned anywhere that I was able to see.

Kineticist makes you interact with the auto-cast functionality of the game that is entirely optional for everyone else (except Magus I think). Read the descriptions carefully and there's some good guides if you are still confused. Burn is a weird mechanic because it is both a penalty and bonus.

Boggards and Wererats can go back to whatever hell they crawled out from.

>>538517918
>most popular game
>not "a game we love" or "one of our favourites"
Are you seriously suggesting that he lied and when polled the Owlcat devs didn't actually say BG3 was their favourite game? Very weird thing to lie about when you could have just worded differently and it would have come across just as good

>>538516407
In 1e AD&D, the glabrezu can use Polymorph Self at will. I also checked the Pathfinder 1e Bestiary, and the PF one can use Veil (only on itself) to disguise itself; they're also noted to be tricky bastards and use disguise often.

>>538519203
>Are you seriously suggesting that a literal marketer lied
yes.

>>538517528
It should've been called what it actually is - DOS3

>>538516152
we need to ask rasz

>>538518498
>Burn is a weird mechanic because it is both a penalty and bonus.
How does that make it weird? Also Kineticists are so utterly broken that the hit to your HP is never an issue due to their alpha striking capability.

>>538518523
>stumbling into Ratnook Hill at early levels
A classic. And while we're on the subject of monsters, I fucking hate worgs. TRIP TRIP TRIP TRIP

Would Argenta prefer a daughter or a son?

>>538519587
Sisters of Battle are infertile.

What do we think about Owlcat's zone/area design in Kingmaker where they made some areas that you're supposed to visit early also have high level enemies that you, realistically, have to come back later to deal with? I vividly remember the corner with either 2 bears or owlbears that were much higher level than the rest of the area. I don't remember Wrath or RT ever doing anything similar.

Is it a good or bad design choice?

>>538519315
I read someplace that Minthara or whatever her name was was also modelled off a man but I'm not sure if it was just a shitpost or true and didn't care enough about BG3 to look it up

>>538519315
>complaining about a dwarf with a beard

>>538519785
I control a C'tan shard, your argument is invalid.

>>538519836
I walked into a cave next to a bridge and there was a fat silly green worm inside that apparantly is supposed to be some kind of ancient dragon.

I didn't have a problem with it because I was able to leave after identifying it but I thought that it shouldn't have looked so silly and cartoony.

>>538519836
> I don't remember Wrath
This fight is designed for when you emerge from the Abyss, but they're letting you test your strength early.

>>538519409
They aren't broken for half the game. 1 attack a turn, which you will miss, until you unlock the good stuff. Unlimited greases is very strong, but not broken in the context of the game.

>>538520051
> I control a C'tan shard
Too overrated. Many of them have already been destroyed on the battlefield, including by small Space Marine forces.
Its power level is lower than that of a Primarch, and a Solitaire is roughly equal in strength to a Primarch, so a shard can easily be destroyed by Nocturne.

>>538519836
Kingmaker has the worst encounter design out of their games.
>here's the dungeon full of venomous insects at level 2
>here's a boss that chucks a fireball at your lvl 3 party first thing after cutscene
>here's a wererat ambush behind 30 dc trap
>here's a nigh unwinnable solo companion duel
>here's another one
etc.

>>538519836
The timers do make it feel really fucking annoying to go all the way out to a place and then have to turn around because you can’t do an encounter yet.

>>538519836
RPGs that don't have impossible or extremely hard fights scattered around that you should probably come back to later aren't immersive at all.
Wrath does have a few. Particularly the bonus fights in the Midnight Fane are better to come back to later.

Even if you know how to deal with them swarms are still rage inducing. Kingmaker’s early swarm cave was like them crafting the ultimate encounter to get people to uninstall their game.

If dwarves heal better than healing potions then why not just eat dwarves for healing?

>>538520948
Their games are not for casuals or coombrains, so they have a DECENT difficulty.
Shit like balls hurt gay 3 is easy as fuck and can barely qualify as a game whatsoever

>>538520381
Nomos cockblocked an entire invasion fleet no drama. Sure its not the void dragon of mars but its better than anyone who isnt the silent king has

>>538520051
>>538520381
Nomos is not a shard

>>538521319
what the fuck is this dogshit edit?

never ask a chud who complains about trans characters what porn he watches

>>538521617
you're telling on yourself, fag

>>538521346
> Nomos cockblocked an entire invasion fleet no drama.
Firstly, he couldn’t do anything about the Eldar invasion, which swept through your protectorate in a bloody wave.
Secondly, he didn’t stop it, only delayed it, and only because Maw is already a barely navigable hell. Once your Rogue Trader dies of old age, your protectorate will be brutally reintegrated into the Imperium.
Not to mention, if the Golden Boy himself decided to show up earlier in person, no Nomos would have stopped him.
For an iconoclast, the only good ending is cooperating with Calcazar. In all other cases, everything you’ve worked for will be destroyed.

>>538520481
The dungeon is much easier if you're a sorcerer with Burning Hands (thank fuck I usually first play a mage walkthrough in these kinds of games) OR you know to pack Molotov cocktails. Ratnook Hill is a high-calibre dick move I give you that. But you've forgotten to mention the two absolute dickpunches Owlcat included in the early game: Viscount Smoulderburn and the Technic League event.

>>538521478
Nomos is a shard of a shard.

>>538522334
Exactly

How legitimate is it to level-zero respec teammates in RT to either completely change their archetype or alter their pre-set build?
The game already allows you to hire custom mercenaries that you create from scratch, but I still feel like it’s kind of cheating.

>>538522564

>>538519836
I guess I'm in the minority here because I like that kind of thing in all the videogames I enjoy.
Of course it all depends on nuance: the implementation, moderate use, etc... But consider the opposite: A perfectly tailored theme-park experience where the world is somehow in total lock-step with the player's progression. That is very much *not* what I want.

>>538491285 (OP)
YJK

>>538521746
Smoulderburn is a bit of a dickpunch but there's also indication that bad things went down and it would be unwise to sleep there, but yes that's mostly an asshole-DM moment.
I would defend the Technic League event though, especially because it's one of very few times that they (or any CRPG creator, really) offers up a "Losing can be interesting" scenario and I really love that. That was a very kino moment to me and really kept me engaged in the early game because of how cool I thought that story beat was after I lost to them, but then tracked them down.

>>538522709
Because it is. Anything that doesn't feel like roleplay is cheating. Stat dumping, using turn-based in RTWP, doing full respecs of characters that canonically are a certain class, its all cheating.

>>538491285 (OP)
Its funny, I consume all r34 of franchises I don't even play if they have sexy bitches (FF7, Overwatch, RE, etc) but Shadowheart does absolutely nothing for me. There's something truly vile and demonic about the character design of literally every character in BG3.

Only thing this weg is good for is making smug frogs.

Kingmaker was like a gamble from an indie studio and it's hilarious to see some defend it as some kind of polished masterpiece like Owlcat were in complete mastery of their craft at the time

Play Divinity Original Sin 2

>>538522709
There's just no need to minmax like that. Even on the hardest difficulty, RT is not a hard game. Even the weaker companions can easily pull their own weight in combat.

Kingmaker was the perfect game because it fully supported the brap mage

>>538524898
>male narrator
>cringy narration during sex scenes
no

>>538523596
Yeah... but here's the thing, I want to respec Kibellah into an operative. And when comparing the operative to the bladedancer-executioner... it makes you wonder what’s actually cheating.
>>538524912
> There's just no need to minmax like that.
It's not about minmaxing, it's about maxmining. I don't want bladedancer in my group, but i want Kibellah

Correct

>>538523973
Tracer is the best

>Iconoclast Nomos
>Befriend a lord inquisitor & Heinrix
>Become friendly with the imperial fleet
>Be mostly dogmatic/pro imperium
There's basically no way the imperium wouldn't be super chill with your protectorate. Yeah some puritan inquisitors would make a fuss but Calcazar would basically convince most radical inquisitors that you're on the level and as long as you're not being too heretical with your iconoclast:isms then it would be way too much effort to amount to any serious crusade launched on your ass. The Imperium wouldn't expend the resources necessary to take down a C'tan shielded radical inquisitor friendly protectorate that still worships the Emperor and pays its tithes.

>>538524898

Absolutely. I haven't myself tried, but I've seen a fairly common strategy of firing one, then switching to a second to fire. So skipping the long reload phase to quickly get a ton of Focus.

>>538526515
you don't understand

The only way kiddinity 2 could've been good is by allowing the player to romance mommy Malady. Nothing could've saved kiddinity 1.

What is your most controversial but genuine opinion that isn't trolling? I think BG1 is a rather average RPG and BG2 is the one that really elevated the story.

>>538524898
If I had a few bros to play that game with I would give it a whirl, but I am not touching that shitshow by myself again.

>>538527037
That is the most common opinion though? Preferring 1 is the minority opinion.

>>538527037
That CRPGs have only improved as time went on and anyone unanimously praising the older ones just have nostalgia glasses stuck to their faces.

BG2 is on-rails except for the very early game where you just get a ton of quests every time you turn a corner. Irenicus is also way over-valued as a villain.
BG1 is a satisfying open-world feeling adventure that captures the spirit of tabletop, and has a much better overall narrative that slowly emerges as you advance in the story.
BG2 character interactions are over-valued as well, and typically just come down to their caricature single trait hammered home with very little actual reactivity.

>>538526208
This is false. If you earned his trust, you can convince him to let you have the C'tan.
>>538526515
What part of what I wrote is delusional?

>>538527708
Yes, I am one of them. Many more people prefer BG2. I used to as well before I came back to 1 in more recent times and played it a bunch.

>Secondly, he didn’t stop it, only delayed it,
>Source?
NTA but if I remember correctly the ending slide just says that nomos caused a warp storm around your protectorate which would delay the invasion by decades or centuries

>>538527037
SWTOR has a better story than BG3 at least for the first 3 acts.

Most of BG1’s maps might as well not even be there

>>538528607

Will Owlcat ever give an actual logical explanation to their mandatory perks for certain companions? RT is the worst offender when it comes to this and makes 0 sense. Doesn't affect me in the slightest because toybox goes brrr but still, their braindead stance on this is infuriating

>>538527879
> This is false. If you earned his trust, you can convince him to let you have the C'tan.
C'tan is not Nomos. You can have C'tan shard, but Nomos dies. You can have both Nomos and Calcazar's protection

>>538528607
I love fighting wolves and gnolls

>>538525535
Its not even all of that. Its that the Imperium even gives a shit about Iconotrader despite the tithes still flowing AND can also afford to do something about this given the current state of the galaxy

>Calixis Sector invades
>while the very next game establishes Calixis Sector is currently imploding
>while the great rift is open and the entire galaxy is a mess

>>538528607

>>538528778
>>538528607
To be clear I'm looking for over 21 examples, as you said "Most"... And that's treating all sections of the city of Baldur's Gate as 1.

>>538528753
I mean nothing suggests it's more than one or two autistic puritan inquisitors calling a crusade. It really doesn't mean much.

>>538527879
basically all of it
the Imperium isn't very chill

>>538528749
Sometimes there’s skeletons bro

>>538528778
What happens in the unnamed areas 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 31? Were they truly essential to the story?

>>538529064
>the Imperium isn't very chill
But it is extremely massive, under constant attack and with limited resources. Not to mention very corrupt and you're friends with a lord inquisitor who supports what you're doing. The Imperium is very practical when it comes to this, they're not going to divert a shit ton of resources to destroy a non-threat, especially when you have high ranking friends within the inquisition.

>>538528778
> all that shit just to get you to level 7/8

>>538528142
No thats not what it says. Here:

>Protecting the young kingdom of freedom, **Nomos created dimensional barriers that cut the Koronus Expanse off from the Imperium more soundly than the Great Rift.** The Humanity of the Expanse was left in isolation. Relying only on themselves, they either had to build something new and different from the Imperium or fall to the horrors lurking in the darkness.

If Big E knew that some normal human pulled off a better deal than what he has going on with the Void Dragon (if on a lesser scale) hed be pretty impressed and then have a fucking anneurysm the rest of his Imperium forced that person and his star god son to pack up their toys and go home

(Also forgot to add but if RT is a biomancy psyker they'l live for even longer)

>>538529524
why do they waste time fighting Tau then
hell they fight each other half the time

I genuinely despise Idira. Why does this worthless retard have to keep killing herself or the rest of the team?

>>538529889
don't keep taking her in your party then perhaps

>>538527869
Except it's not on-rails. You get to choose when you do what you want and you can stop to do something else at pretty much any time. You also get to choose *how* you do something, as you are generally given multiple story-driven options in conjunction with your excellent, expansive list of ways to go about things in the IE. Except there are more in BG2 because it's an evolved form of BG1. If it makes you "feel" like you should hurry on to progress the main story, then that's just a good job on BG2's part. Character interactions are a drop in the bucket. The game was made to be played with zero NPC companions. Everyone in the BG1 vs BG2 camp is so stupid. They are two different games made to be different so you get two different experiences. And thank God for that.

>>538529501
>What happens
Plenty of things. Random little events, encounters, bits of quests here and there. I'm not going through it all.

>Were they truly essential to the story?
Of course not, but this is part of making a world that feels open and close to the tabletop experience.
Not everything in the world has its eyes on the protagonist, the geography of a region doesn't shift according to some story playing out within its bounds.
Head right to Nashkel then right to the bandits then right to the city if you'd like. Or, have some side adventures, if you prefer.

>>538530281
By plenty of things do you mean trash mobs surrounding one point of interest in a big empty map

>>538529834
Okay then I'm probably mixing it up with the generic iconoclast ending where it says it will take the fleet decades or centuries to reach your protectorate.
>created dimensional barriers
>cut the Koronus Expanse off from the Imperium
>left in isolation
This part seems a bit weird, no? Surely the C'tan could allow navigation through his own barrier, right?

>>538530109
>Except it's not on-rails. You get to choose when you do what you want and you can stop to do something else at pretty much any time
That's a little disingenuous, it applies to any RPG. But, aside from the early game, so setting off to Spellhold and afterwards, is a pretty linear path.

>Everyone in the BG1 vs BG2 camp is so stupid. They are two different games made to be different so you get two different experiences. And thank God for that.
Completely agreed. I love both games of course, but I do think BG1 is an overall "better" (though the idea of a total order on the space of games is stupid) game, and certain elements of BG2 are over-praised.

>>538498231
Dragon age past Origins, women love that slop series for some reason

>>538529880
I don't know too much about the Tau lore but wouldn't that strengthen my point rather than weaken it? The Tau is a very small empire and much weaker than the Imperium, no? But the Imperium hasn't actually sent huge resources to annihilate them, right? So if they're mostly tolerating them and only dedicating a few resources to wage war, why wouldn't they do the same with you?

Owlcat said that they might add new colonies in future DLCs, would you want that?

>>538514087
>People are watching guides and builds on YouTube for those games, not for BG3.
Are we living on different realities? Despite not watching anything BG3 related, build updates and unique interactions keep getting recommended to me. When I tried looking for anything WOTR related, it's the same person showcasing some ZOMGHIGHDMG build that only comes only 95% into the game.

>>538531221
The only thing I can imagine replaying the game for is a new class.

>>538530573
Thats just on owlcat being lazy with the endslides. If they didnt go through the effort for Arue's ending slides they're not gonna revamp *every* end slide if you got the secret ending

>>538530691
>That's a little disingenuous
It is disingenuous to say BG2 is "on-rails", mate. Spellhold and the UD are such a tiny portion of the overall content in the game. You choose when you enter that portion and how long you stay. Then, *after* the UD, you can take your time doing whatever you want until you decide to end it. You can finish all the quests you'd like and you can even *return* to the UD if you want. Then you can choose to finish the campaign, but it's still not even "on-rails". I don't think you understand what that term really means.

>>538531409
I don't really mind that though, the ending slides don't really contradict each other. It would take them decades/centuries to get through the warp storm AND then would have to figure out a way to cross the barrier. It's not like they would see the barrier created by nomos - if they could even see it at all - and be like okay we won't invade then without even trying first.

>>538531221
No, I would prefer they stop working with 40slop.

Will they fix Yrliet's soulstone ending slide at some point or will remain retarded forever? There's no way they won't fix it, right?

>>538531221
>new waifus
>new classes
>new weapon types
At least 2 out of those 3 requirements would need to be fufilled.

>>538531695
Finishing quests after the UD and returning to the UD makes about as much sense as piddling around the Deadfire while Eothas is making his way to Ukaizo. Yes I'd call it a bit on-rails. Not strictly bringing the player A->B->C but if you actually follow the story it's very much like that.
Sure you *can* fuck around, but it makes much less sense than the fucking around you do in BG1.

>>538531265
Most CRPG channels have long abandoned BG3 because there are only about 2.5 builds in the entire game that they cycle through repeatedly.
In games like WOTR, there’s practically infinite room for build-crafting, with builds that feel great from level 1 and others that start breaking the game at level 15 but do it better than the rest.
That’s the charm of a game with deep build-crafting.

RT also has excellent build-crafting, but the game itself is too easy.

>>538525630
I hate DA:I

You reckon DLC 3 & 4 will also add one companion each or not?

>>538532193
>Posts a screenshot showing "infinite" builds with barely hundreds of views in it
>Literally one build for each character
Cool. So I actually bothered looking for this guy and it's from CRPGBro who likes making buildslop """"guides""". This is precisely what I was talking about guides with builds only being good at the last tenth of the game.

Why can’t zoomers just say they don’t like a game? Why do they have to do this bullshit with sales or social media engagement?

ANOTHER 2 DOGMATIC BISEXUAL COMPANIONS

>>538531221

Such as?

>>538533127
i imagine low IQ brown people and a few brown brained caucasians do. they are lonely from being creatures but don't take corrective action due to their small brains

>>538527708
I'm not saying it's a *better* game (although I do wish every RTwP shilling git should enjoy the "no pause going to the inventory screen" combined with the classic "no weapon sets" until the end of time) but I did *like* it more than 2. The map felt like a good old hexcrawl, hunting around for shit you might have missed, wondering what's behind the fog of war, etc. Not to mention I played AD&D in the Realms and seeing the references to the sourcebooks (like the Chill mercenaries from Gold and Glory and the places from Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast) was really nice.

which companion has the cutest feet

>>538532750
You're an idiot. His English guides have many views and he specifically builds for the entire game, start to finish, for hard or unfair.

>>538532750
>barely hundreds of views in it
Those are in denominations of 1000. So that first video has 157K views, etc.

>>538533446
linzi

>>538533498
I kept that there because I can't read that language you're posting on. You're right, it does have tens to hundreds of thousands of views and guess what, he does this for nearly every relevant game that comes out and you know what's the funniest thing? He hasn't even made a guide for the new RT class since he's fully focused on Expedition 33.

>wotr build videos
>actually just pet builds or some flavor of trickster
zzz

>>538534181
You can play all the Trickster builds as Demon, Azata, or whatever. Just don't take the improved crit feats. Those videos are a great resource to teach you how to build characters so you can make your own.
Not his fault that pets are OP in Wrath. That's how the game works. You can drop those too if you go extremely hard on crowd control, even on hard, though.

Is there any downside to kill both Felek and Theobald? Both these retards seem too dangerous to let live and given the chaos corruption I'd rather not take the chance.

The second time I just mass purchased Acid Flasks and Alchemical Fire and it was easy going.

I actually hated the Mandragora swarms at the end of the game more than the spider swarms at the beginning.

What would Linzi do if you put your dick between her pages?

"I think I now realise why our leader is so obsessed with growing his kingdom".

>mother naming her character after her daughter
>has sex with Heinrix
What did she mean by this?

the wotr companions sit down to play a little PF1e
what roles do they play?

>>538527037
I actually prefer the skill breakpoints system over rolling dice for skillchecks. For example, in Fallout, you would have a speech check that requires 75 Speech skill, and if you had 50 speech skill, you couldn't do it. Likewise, if you did have 75 Speech skill, you wouldn't fail, you just meet the requirements and keep going. This still allows for build diversity and roleplaying.

I know dice rolling is a sacred cow and lots of people love it, but I actually think it's kind of stupid that I can be a thief will skill expertise lockpicking and 20 agility and everyone smiles and says "teehee you still have a 5% chance to fail :)" as if that's realistic or good gameplay. But if the lock just has a 20 lockpicking skill requirement, and you meet it or you don't. that better represents the realistic situation that a good lockpicker has just learned how that level of lock works and can apply his skillset. That's how life works.

This doesn't apply to combat, because in combat you're stressed and there's a time limit and everything is happening at once so there is a realistic chance that something goes wrong even if you're a master swordsman, you can still miss. But when you're just calmly staring at a locked chest or you're in a tavern having a good time talking to someone to convince, then

Related, something I wish more games would feature, is the simple "take 10" and "take 20" rules, where if there is no stress or time limit, a player may elect to take 10 minutes or take 20 minutes to lock in that dice roll without rolling, representing the fact that their character just takes it slow and approaches the problem methodologically and thus doesn't have to roll. This would solve my issue as well, but for some reason every game developer forgets this exists.

>>538499437
Anon I... I agree

>>538541381
Arueshalae... y-you... you should stop posting

>>538540671
>But if the lock just has a 20 lockpicking skill requirement, and you meet it or you don't. that better represents the realistic situation that a good lockpicker has just learned how that level of lock works and can apply his skillset. That's how life works.
I think it's not as simple as that though. Two things come to mind: There really is a luck factor with 'chaotic' systems. Sometimes you're good at what you do and fumble, and sometimes you accidentally make something work that's typically beyond you.
The second issue is being a 19 lock-picker against a 20 lock. You have no chance in a million years. But then "magic happens" and now you're a 20 lock-picker, and now you can never fail.
Not to say what you're saying doesn't have merit, I also like those systems (about equally though with dice rolling, I'm fine with either, depends on implementation) but it's complicated and not as simple as "That's how life works."

>take 10
wait does that really stand for "take 10 minutes"? I didn't know that. I also like those kind of mechanics. Ritual casting as well, though more suited to tabletop where you can wave through 10min/hour instead of sitting with your character.
The passage of time in general is pretty fucked in CRPGs, resting during Lost Chapel/Drezen comes up a lot in here for one example. Finishing quests after the underdark in BG2 mentioned recently another.
I suppose at some point videogames have to draw a line as to what they'll consider out-of-scope and not part of the experience, where tabletop is a lot more flexible.

>>538540624
I can make guesses: Arue would be a half-elf CG cleric of Desna of course, Greybor would be a dwarf N slayer because do you think he'd not self-insert, Cam would be a human CE rogue with an edgy backstory who would steal from the party, Regill wouldn't play because that would not benefit the Crusade, and Nenio wants to play AD&D, specifically Dragonlance where she can roll a kender thief.

>>538491285 (OP)
hey thats my screenshot aha

>>538542565
Don't own up to that

The very first blast of Halsin's seed into Shadowheart while you are asleep or leave them at camp, permanently changes her "scent."
This is a druid thing, he essentially completely marks her as his. Even though he allows you to be with her, the scent transformation is always there to remind both of you about his ownership of her.

>>538544591
He is beginning his weekly Shadowheart rant in /bgg/ , you should post it there

>>538540671
No, you are entirely correct. Random skill check rolls is 100% garbage. While I have a no reloads ever policy when I play Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, I save scum failed skill rolls in Pathfinder because it is a garbage system. I has no comparison to random combat rolls because you can just attack again the next turn. And if the enemy saves against your spell you were counting on, it adds excitement and danger. A one time roll where you have a 5% minimum chance to fail is just garbage.

>>538540671
>For example, in Fallout, you would have a speech check that requires 75 Speech skill, and if you had 50 speech skill, you couldn't do it. Likewise, if you did have 75 Speech skill, you wouldn't fail, you just meet the requirements and keep going. This still allows for build diversity and roleplaying.
Honestly? Stop talking.

>>538532021
>okay, it's not on-rails, but my imagination is too limited to like it
The story moves as quickly as you do. It's called Schrödinger's gun. Whatever problems you have with the freedom to do as you please within the game; know they exist entirely in your own head. If you can create them, then you can change them and imagine any number of possibilities. What you can't do is tell me that BG2 is on-rails because it absolutely lets you do whatever the fuck you want.

>>538499437
>Never to describe how a character says something
>It has its place, but overall it seems to lead to lazy and poor quality writing
Never once in the history of literature has this correlation been observed. Should all voice acting be delivered in absolute monotone as well? If there is no VA, then adding in frequent novel-like descriptions of mannerisms and delivery is a great idea.

>>538545952
>it absolutely lets you do whatever the fuck you want.
Let me explore the land between Athkatla and Nalia's Keep.
Oh, can't? Or anywhere else, just visit the points on the map? Hmm, doesn't sound like "absolutely lets you do whatever the fuck you want" to me.

Even more following the story, sure you can invent headcanon for why you're dragging your heels before going to Spellhold, or twiddling your thumbs doing errands after emerging from the Underdark, but the reality is this straight arrow:
Imoen taken -> (random quests around the area) -> Spellhold -> Underdark -> Final battle.

Whatever reasons you have to twiddle your thumbs against the story's trajectory; know they exist entirely in your own head.

>>538541930
"Take 10" actually stands for getting a free 10 on a d20. At least in Pathfinder it doesn't take any longer than normal, but it's only possible when you're not under any time pressure. If you're good enough to open the lock on an average roll, and you're not stressed or distracted, then you can skip rolling and just assume you did an average job this time.
Take 20 gives you the equivalent of rolling a nat 20, but takes 20 times as long, and automatically triggers any penalties for failing the roll. It's just a way of streamlining the process of trying over and over again until you get a high roll.

>>538546605
Listen, headcanon-Imoen really wanted to see Athkatla and get in on all the sidequesting she'd missed.

>>538545353
Dice roll skill checks are for TTRPGs. They fall flat in CRPGs because of savescumming. It needs no further explanation than this. You don't have to start talking about the plausibility of an experienced thief failing to pick a given lock. It's just part of the TTRPG design which doesn't translate well in a computer game. Players won't savescum for every miss in combat, but they will when they feel they've lost out on some 'content' due to bad luck.

The first step toward solving this problem is simply not to show options which the party can't take, like greyed out dialogue choices or failed checks. I think WotR or Tyranny included this as a menu setting for dialogue if I recall correctly. For example, in BG3 you get four loud dice roll sound effects and four 'check failed' popups every time you miss a hidden item in the world. In RT, on the other hand, if you fail to spot hidden loot there is nothing to suggest that anything happened at all.

>But when you're just calmly staring at a locked chest
Another point to consider is that in tabletop this is fine and good because there's an active GM.
You're the best lock-picker in the world and roll a 1 in a quiet setting.
>CRPG: "lol too bad for you
>GM: "Right as you're about to get it, a bug out of nowhere literally flies right in your eye and you curse it and swat but end up breaking your lockpick"
Hell, the GM could go on if they wanted, allowing a perception check that this rare beetle is exactly what you need to grind up and make a specific poison.

There's no active response in CRPG though. Ignoring patches/DLC, from the moment of sale to the player, every single path and consequence and response is baked in solid with no possible deviation, because it's a computer program taking up a finite amount of space.

That's not to say that I'm apologizing for the stupidity of CRPGs in those kind of situations, they really do need to be a lot better, but it's just something to keep in mind since most CRPGs are just fairly direct ports of (or heavily inspired by) tabletop systems that have as an essential component, the Game Master.

Thinking about it we're gonna get another Citadel type DLC as well. I'm pretty sure the WoTR sold well so they are just gonna rinse and repeat before leaving RT for good.

>>538564268
he had enough self-awareness to rebrand as wife scholar (see: man-whore)

>>538566686
I could see a Footfall DLC get added there's a ton of stuff there that isn't covered while your there.

>Astropath Enclave
>Hiveganger knockoffs
>Seperated section for trading with Xenos

>>538565652
Classes unclear.
The museum one will have a new companion with a "unique combat style". I hope it's one of those space orangutans that makes high tech weapons for the Imperium

>>538566686
Is having fun allowed in the grimdark future though.

An orc companion in RT or Dark Heresy just needs to happen. Too bad orcs suck in 40K and there are no black orc equivalents.

You know there are more aliens out there than just the 4 that GW decided to make minis of.

There's no reason we can't just get a brand new OC xeno species.

>>538567870
Fuck that gimme a Vespid companion.

>>538567646
They're way better than fantasy's green cavemen. Goffs, or if you want a unit stormboyz, are the black orc equivalent.

Romance idea: She asks you to get a vasectomy
Would your PC do it?

Kesten with the classic "fake oriental concubine" maneuver

For some reason
It does not seem like a good idea to send "Maegar" to investigate Vordakai's curse

>>538568323
I wouldn't do it irl. Why tf would anyone do that?

>>538568323
Fuck off and kill yourself.

Paying $4000 to get your OC put into the game, only for him to be universally hated by anyone who's played the game is insanely funny
Like, I'm almost convinced Darven is a bit created by some coder who had a bunch of disposable income

>>538567870
then how will GW sell their minis?

>>538567870
I think GW insists on licensees only using characters that have models. Eg the Haemonculous, the mandrakes, the wrack. They all have models

>>538567170
I hope they fill out existing sections instead of tacking on a new companion with every DLC

I LOVE Games Workshop tee em.

Have you guys ever used any exotic weapons in Pathfinder?
I saw a glaive in the Stag Fort and was tempted but the truth was that I already had a weapon focus for all of my party members.

>>538568903
The Darven creator knew what he was doing. Infamy is still fame.
I am liking those arcane abilities. What Magus archetype are you?

>>538570373
Yes, Fauchards are worth spending a feat on if you want to use a two hander.
Glaives aren't exotic, though.

>>538570373
Yeah but if you want to you have to look through the neoseeker list to plan out everything. Missing the act 1 Estoc because you didn't recruit Woljif sucks.

https://www.neoseeker.com/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous/guides/Unique_Items

>>538570373
Fauchard, Estoc, and Falcata are all worth the feat slot on a martial. Especially if you dip into Fighter 1 for a "free" exotic weapon proficiency

>>538491285 (OP)
The knowledge nature arrives spontaneously

>>538570558
My bad, I just assumed they were special because they were so rare.
I saw some nunchucks that might have been good for my Slayer but he wasn't able to equip them.

>>538563389
Oh yeah the next DLC will include implants and augmentations as its gameplay addition

>>538570527
>The Darven creator knew what he was doing. Infamy is still fame.
I suppose that's possible. There are a LOT of D&D players who lack self-introspection though.
Not a Magus. Call of the Wild Warpriest. Basically the Divine equivalent of a Magus, so more self-buffs vs touch attacks. Fauchard + Enlarge Person gaming.

>>538570373
>he takes weapon focus on all party members
nice enjoy that +1 bro

>>538572683
Weapon Focus often leads to better feats down the line.
Also, I will happily take a +1 to attack. I even get dodge for +1 to AC.

>>538573078
I'm aware, but often those feats down the line don't apply to a character at all but dum-dums take Weapon Focus anyhow because the big green thumbs-up = good, I guess?
Please tell me you take Weapon Focus: Crossbow for your casters lmao

>>538573282
Anon are you aware that Weapon Focus: Ray exists?

>>538530281
>Plenty of things. Random little events, encounters, bits of quests here and there
Ah, the classic "just be yourself" of arpiggers

>>538568903
Darven is 100% a joke. He winks at you, teleports behind people, has tons of rope and gold, is just so cool, etc

>>538574609
At least he's better than getting locked in some numerian bullshit dungeon.

>>538565652
>But what about the waifus and classes?
you break out the alternate universe loyalist Fulgrim clone out Trazyn's Museum

>>538573282
what else are you going to spend feats on for you dumdum melee fighters?

>>538575964
It makes sense for fighters but many or most other classes don't benefit from that +1 nearly as much as they'd benefit from something else. For some reason though it gets recommended with the green thumb for all classes and people feel they have to take it for some reason, even though it's a whole feat for just a +1 on Attack, which is not really meaningful mid or late game. It's not going to make up for low BAB.

>>538529710
The exp distribution's so fucked most of it doesn't even give appreciable gains. The basilisks in 6 alone are like 70% of the game's total exp. and the only reason they aren't more than that is because there are more basilisks below Candlekeep

>>538577710
And?

>>538577594
congrats anon you found one of the many glitches owlcat never fixed. he's supposed to escape there but they left him vulnerable with combat AI before you cross a point on the floor so if you hit him from range and never pass that trigger to start the cutscene you can kill him early and get almost an entire level worth of EXP from it.

convince me to play NWN Hordes of the Underdark, I wanna play it but don't wanna suffer caster early levels, but I also don't wanna play martial because you are basically forced into multiclassing

How polite

>>538546080
Because describing how the character speaks takes away from the reader's freedom to interpret. It would be like giving an exact speaking direction in a movie script, preventing the actor from interpreting.
Like when Marazhai kills someone, sometimes he says
>Useless plaything, broken already!
and other times he says
>Useless plaything, broken already?
The actor interprets it two different ways.

I like owlcat games but whenever I click on some interesting poi while exploring and it gives me a text-crit I just ignore whatever it says and keep moving.

Owlcat is too wordy overall.

Ok so she has her pirate buddies blow up the tithe barges to frame you for stealing it, leading to your execution.
And then what? What does she expect to happen to the protectorate? She thinks the Administratum will just take it over?

BG3's TB combat is like a gourmet meal, each delicious morsel savored excites the palate and prepares for the next, each carefully considered decision adding flavor and harmony to the meal.

WotR's RTWP combat is pure slop.

>>538602678
>She thinks the Administratum will just take it over?
Seeing how the grand Inquisitor has recently arrived in the sector yes. Lore wise and ttrpg gameplay wise that's normally when the rogue trader fucks off to a new section

Fuck I just noticed I didn't have a warp officer for that fight. Normally Idira takes that slot.

She's a lawfag and correctly surmised that rogue traders are a blight on the expanse, so she wanted to do the right thing and get rid of you. I have no idea what she expected to happen afterwards though. So she extinguishes one rt line, then what? Did she expect the other rts to NOT swoop in to pillage what's left of the protectorate?

>>538608931
>Did she expect the other rts to NOT swoop in to pillage what's left of the protectorate?
Yeah this is what I was thinking of when I made my post.
It's not like she'll transfer the whole expanse the regular administratum rule with her scheme.
What a silly old lady. I sent her to count shipping containers as punishment, which she seemed happy about.

>>538607287
C'mon man

>>538602169
whats that big necklace

>>538608931
She could have had a point if she, for example, contacted calzone, or any other high ranking official and offered the protectorate to him to be his fiefdom or something, but she did no such thing. so i duon't know. Seems poorly thought out in the long run

>>538608881
Hey if you like it go for it. I don't pirate owlcat games though, but I do buy them at a discount as long as the text is just mostly junk filler. And maybe I wouldn't wait for sales if they improved their quality.

They might, actually, if they devote themselves to doing more voice overs it'll likely drive them towards leaner writing to save on costs, but I get the feeling they won't be able to resist just filling the dialogue panel with worthless descriptive text around the speaker.

>>538609047
I think it's the symbol of the Administratum. You see it alongside the capital I all over the place in her office.

people keep shitting on owlcat writing but I never see any examples

>>538609047
It is so you know she is the real OG

It's fucking crazy to somehow think that owlcat is too verbose of all things.

>>538609047
Imperium likes to make sure that EVERYONE knows which one of gazillion organzations each individual belongs to

>>538609051
She was probably corrupted by chaos like Heironymous Doloroso and thought SHE ALONE could rule the expanse

>>538609280
She's not, and he's not. Dolororso can get corrupted, but so can everyone, so what?

>>538609121
It's mostly how when you talk to people, they speak in encyclopedia entries.
You can hear the VAs struggling with it. The combat barks and banters, being short, have so much more personality than the regular voice acted dialogue.

>>538609121
Did you miss anon's edits? All descriptive writing bad.

>>538609318
Cassia directly sees his grey-green corruption, and his pamphlets you can find in the mutant lair are full of "embrace the rot" type rhetoric - classic Nurgle worship whether he knows it or not.
Also the etude names give it away.

>>538609423
For example.

Please understand, owlcat writers get paid by the word, the same rate as Charles Dickens (one gold guinea per 400 words)

>>538609559
what's the original

>>538609363
Must also be why combat barks are of much higher quality voice acting-wise than regular dialogue. Especially for some companions (like kebab and maraturd)

>>538609559
Bags of money, please

>>538571097
>fauchard gameplay
>portrait doesn't wield a fauchard
Unplayable. To be fair that's a pretty good portrait though.

>>538609446
Cassia is a schizo, and unless you corrupt him none of his endings even imply that he goes chaos

>>538609731
>Especially for some companions (like kebab and maraturd)
Yeah Marazhai really stands out. Argenta too.
Imagine being an actor, and having on the one hand
>page of nonsense about kabals or death cults or craftworlds
and on the other hand
>energetic punchy phrase with room for interpretation

>>538609559
Now it's really novel quality.

>>538609679
Probably something about how eveyone is shaking in fear at the mere sight of the powerful kibera-sama

>>538609121
There examples already posted in this very thread.

For instance >>538568903 Linxia could truncate her whole spiel to "A dangerous criminal named Darven "the Dashing" Fairwood, found guilty of various misdeeds in Cheliax. His trail has led me here." to sound more natural like how someone would actually speak.

Another example >>538492225 where Marazhai goes on so long I'm surprised Kibellah doesn't just interrupt him, and if she had interrupted him it would've made for a better 'scene'.

But really just play the owlcat games yourself, go up to High Factotum Janris Danrok and ask him almost anything and he'll start bloviating, if I remember correctly. Its like nearly every character usually talks at you instead of with you.

They don't even write textbooks this dryly.

>>538609929
>bloviating
I'll trust your opinion because you used an uncommon verb

If you are at the point when you start saying shit like
>Hm this build means that my character has to use a fauchard
you're not actually roleplaying anymore

>>538609929
Yeah try to imagine any of these word-vomits being actually acted out in a movie. It can't work.

>>538609929
Every character is talking at you. That's what happens when you have a silent protagonist.

>>538609948
It's kind of weird line to deliver on the spot without having rehearsed it in the shower but I don't see it as bad writing

Which side crpg? A or.....

>>538610095
No, that's what happens when you have bad writers

>>538610184
>>538609929
It is rude to interrupt people when they are talking

>>538610095
But these games don't have a silent protagonist, you have plenty of dialogue options, this isn't Fallout 4 where every choice is a variation on "Yes."

>>538610182
>rogue trader and perfection in the same sentence
Universal access to the internet was a mistake

>>538609948
kek

>>538610224
It is, though. They're just better at disguising it than Fallout 4.

>>538610182
....B

>>538610220
It is, however, when the person talking is considered to be 'xenos filth' by a character's religious doctrine and government they might in fact be rude enough to interrupt an unhinged edgelord's word vomit.

>>538610250
>Yes, yes, well done, von Valancius. Well done, von Valancius. HOWEVER

>>538610182
Compared to naval service, that was barely a challenge!

Im just throwing it out there solasta didn't have any problems with its dialog.

>>538610250
I wish these edits were a mod, it would improve these games immensely.

>>538610396
solasta falls apart after the vampire castle and never recovers, continuing on into the sequel

>>538610347
At the very least you can pretend to not having listened to his verbal diarrhea much to his chagrin. Still retarded. All conversations with xenos and chaos filth in rt should be able to be interrupted with a mass effect renegade style shot to the face

>taking an amateur writer's work filtered through localization and somehow making it worse
/crpgg/ impresses every day

>>538610575
Well some of these edits are too truncated but it is amusing to point out how much unnecessary text there is.

My personal favorite.

>>538610440
That's why editors exist, even for the most talented literary writers. It's important to have a filter.

>>538609929
>There examples already posted in this very thread.
Oh yeah? Where.
>For instance >>538568903 Linxia could truncate her whole spiel to "A dangerous criminal named Darven "the Dashing" Fairwood, found guilty of various misdeeds in Cheliax. His trail has led me here."

Uh-oh, owlkek writer is mad

I'm being silly now but there is genuinely too much talk to the point that it spoils some scenes, such as the one preceding this in Yrliet's dreamworld.

I'm just saying owlcat could learn some dialog lessons from there fellow slav that wrote underrail

>>538597758
>he interrupted the ritual

>Cave man hour
>Thread literacy takes a dive

Go back to hunting gathering, grog

>>538610440
Maybe you can do it. It would probably shorten the game by a good dozen hours

>>538610883
Don't know anything about modding sadly. If I did I might be tempted to.

>>538610883
Dialogue mods are very simple technically. You're just modifying text files, not truly touching the owljank code.
I'm going to write a mod where Yrliet and Marazhai are brother and sister, just by modifying dialogue.

I'm just throwing it out there bg3 had some great dialog, owlcat could learn some lessons.

Rogue trader isnt whimsical enough.

>>538611026
>I'm going to write a mod where Yrliet and Marazhai are brother and sister, just by modifying dialogue.
It's a good twist and immediately improves both rather milquetoast characters. Make Yremeryss the mom

Mass Effect 2, that's dialogue

>>538611174
>Make Yremeryss the mom
Of course.

>>538611142
Thank God. Being whimsical isn't an inherently good quality

>>538611026
Make Kibellah a part of it.

>>538611263
>both children are supreme jobbers
She didn't beat them enough

>>538611265
It is a good quality for a rogue trader game. I should be feeling all types of whimsy as I learn about alien civilizations.

>>538611316
That might be too difficult. I suppose you could give Marazhai and Kibellah some more interaction. Fascinated with each other because of the whole self-harm thing. I don't really feel like writing that though.

>>538611329
Child beating is bad

>>538611329
>My firstborn, my Yrliet. What a disaster you have been! Abandoning our family for your worthless craftworld friends, then being cast aside by them in turn.
>And you! The second-born cringing cur, the sniveling worm, I will not even speak your name. Hiding behind this mon-keigh like his pet. You disgust me
>I shall try again for offspring and this time I shall succeed.

>>538611316
I will write a mod where everybody dies of cringe the second she appears. It's a short but sweet mod that will also reduce the overly long game

Friendly reminder there is a bigger gap between mon-keigh and Eldar than there is between mon-keigh and orks :)
Eldar > humanity

>>538611828
Ork BVLLS consistently shit on eldar jobbers thoughbiet

>>538611828
Mon-keigh are just the humans left behind after the Old Ones harvested proto-humans to make Eldar from.

>>538611869
Everyone consistently shits on eldar jobbers, so it's nothing new

An Ork companion would be good provided he is genuinely nice to everyone
Orks truly like everyone and are overall a happy people

Owlcst we know you have finshed making the ogryn models so add a ogryn companion.

>>538612104
They will. In Dark Heresy.

>>538612104
Sorry 90% of rogue trader companions have to be standard humans for some reason, but don't worry atleast winterscale gets a retinue of cool alien mercs.

>>538612316
But anon that would be le heresy

>>538612316
Winterscale will forever be cooler than you and there's nothing you can do about it

>>538612316
Calligos Wintercale has a Cannoness in his retinue
Calligos Winterscale has a Farseer of Ulthwe in his retinue, and she loves him and they hold hands sometimes
Calligos Winterscale has a Jokaero in his retinue, and it speaks High Gothic
Calligos Winterscale's ship is bigger than yours

>>538610703
>Run-on sentence. Make it shorter.
That's not a run-on sentence you illiterate cunt.

>>538611828
Orks are the best race to be in this setting.
Everyone else hates fighting, the boyz just love a good ol' krumpin'

>>538612583
His high point was honestly based, but I would have preferred a fight we could take part in.

>>538612589
too many words = run-on sentence, simple as

>>538611828
>Eldar > humanity
Eldar murderfucked Slaanesh into existence and have the audacity to be smug pricks. They are complete failures who were incapable of defeating the necrons and only became the sole power because the old ones died and the krorks devolved, both of which they had no part in. If you were talking about Warhammer Fantasy you may have head a leg to stand on but in 40K the Eldar are complete shit. Biel Tan got shattered and your one major claim to fame is reviving the smurf. Enjoy your slow extinction.

>>538613154
I think that's the intended interpretation. Eldar are full of shit and it's their own fault.
Humans are flawed but are the rising star.
Historically Eldar = Pagan Europe, Humans = Christian Europe

>>538612712
You take part in lelvs bashing

Isn't Kibellah too skinny for an assassin? she should be bulging with muscles

>>538613450
She's pretty wiry. Looks strong.

>>538613450
Don't worry she does AGI based bonus damage so its fine.

>>538613450
She's a BladeDANCER

>>538613694
google ballerina muscles and come back to me

Alot of people complained about solomorne being badly written and I'm just saying wyll is right there. Bg3 sold so well for a reason, take some notes owlcat.

>>538613817
Solomorne was ok but pretty unnecessary.
All of his interactions could have been with the marshal instead.

Solomorne should have been like doakes from dexter.

>>538613694
t. has never actually seen a dancer up close

>>538613817
>solomorne being badly written
He's not badly written, people who say that are just seething about tfw no waifu. He's just not particularly flashy, and obviously grew out of parts of jimmy's storyline that were left on the cutting room's floor

>>538614019
>nigga who's on to you and doesn't give a shit about what your title is
Insecure incels would be seething even harder

People would call BG reddit if it released today

As a anon who has an IQ of 145 Idira being romancable and becoming your surrogate mother figure to replace Theodora would objectively make the game better.

>>538614572
1 no, 2 most definitely.

>>538614249
His Icono-turn right at the end is poorly motivated.

What's the best way to enter that fight where the heretics are lasering their eyes out in Act 1? I think it's best to take out the device instead of blowing up barrels.

>>538615101
I think destroying lens is best option. It summons blue horrors if you don't destroy it fast enough.
Cultists are fodder that will just die to lidless stare

>>538615101
Yeah just go for it. Weaken the lens
The fuel barrels are not worth it.

>>538614717
>reddit route is poorly written
imagine my shock

>>538615223
>>538615248
Which side do I enter from though? The one where you climb down or the one where you hack the door. I want to avoid as many injuries as possible to kill that fucking daemon in the sewers.

>>538615397
Climbing down seems easier.
Unlocking the safe afterwards is a bit of a pain in the ass. Don't be afraid to look it up.

Holy, that's strong.
Surely there are no downsides to using it, right?

>>538616107
It's fine, go for it.

>>538616107
You saw what happened to its previous owner.

>>538616107
None

>>538616107
>yrliet makes you throw it away
>marazhai advises you to throw it away

I'm sure it's fine.

>>538616107
Your characteristics are already so strong.
You don't need it.

>>538616107
Where do you get this?

>>538615529
Turns out I'm mindbroken from background so I just charge in lol. Can I lock myself out of the safe if I do it in the wrong order?

>>538616776
Ice Palace in Mundus Nullius, I found it in act 4 and assume you can only find it then.

>>538616805
Not at all. Just do it. It's very annoying so don't hesitate to look up a guide.

>>538616805
>Can I lock myself out of the safe if I do it in the wrong order?
No. And the safe has nothing to do with the fight itself. doesn't matter how you approach it.
What background? You can't shoot the lense or the barrels if you don't have a gun equipped btw

>>538616905
I thought the puzzle was nonsensical until I figured it out on my 9th playthrough. You just have to really pay attention to surroundings

is there a better feeling than being under warm blankets in a chilly room, with a cat and no responsibility for the day, just nestled in and playing a role on your computer?

>>538617163
Yes, taking a break after cleaing up your apartment and looking at the results of your labours

>>538616905
>>538616949
One of things that really annoys me about Owlcat games is how easily you can avoid lose of the best loot in the game by not checking every nook and cranny and some of it you wouldn't realise unless you've looked up a guide. For my background I chose killing a daemon and being falsely accused of being possessed.

>>538617345
>if I play like a blind game journalist I lose the best rewards
Then just don't play like one. Why should you get the same reward as people who make an effort to explore?

>>538617163
Having a cup of cider and biscuits and gravy, probably

>>538617549
That's bad for your health. You're gonna be fat and ugly

>>538613317
>humans are the rising star
This is the emblem of how fucked nu-40k fluff is. The appeal of the setting was always that humanity's decrepit empire is fighting a losing battle against unimaginable horrors and effectively invincible enemies (orks and tyranids by themselves are more-or-less destined to overrun the galaxy). It is an endless war for survival being waged across the galaxy and the Imperium is on the retreat.

The idea that humanity is prospering fundamentally undermines the characterisation of the Imperium, which is of a fossilised, fear-ridden empire reliant on technology it no longer understands and on the continual sacrifice of billions into a meatgrinder to avoid immediate collapse. I'm pretty sure that the orks and tyranids are the only races that were originally described as prospering. The orks would theoretically conquer the galaxy in a flash, if only they stopped fighting each other, and the tyranids are supposed to be in the process of conquering the galaxy, only no one has properly recognised the scale of the threat yet.

>>538618090
I think the idea is that humans are almost at the same point as the Eldar were when they lost everything.
One ruined civilization regarding another on the same path.

>>538611438
Okay but what if the child was being a real cunt?

>>538618090
>The orks would theoretically conquer the galaxy in a flash
That would be the necrons if you look at their shit in lore. Its fucking stupid how hard space marines get wanked when one necron should be able to take out a whole squad.

>>538611438
>le beatings are le bad
Just don't be a cunt and you won't be beaten. Simple as.

>>538618090
>The appeal of the setting was always that humanity's decrepit empire is fighting a losing battle
How is that appealing

Warhammer 40k setting peaked in 3rd edition before the release of the Tau codex
>but muh necrons
fuck necrons

>>538620567
The original necron fluff was fine, even if they were broken on the tabletop

>>538616107
Don't worry dude, It's just loot gear. You've found, like hundreds of shit like it and equipped them all no problem. Why would you suddenly start not doing it?

>>538610825
>What did anon mean by this
>Google
>You get an unique ring if you just stand there staring at your feet like a jackass and wait for them to finish the ritual

HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT

>>538621327
By not being so fucking rude.

>>538621327
>Have played through that part of the game like 3 or 4 times at least and this is the first time I learn about this.
Fuck.
Then again, that's already always the hardest encounter in that level for me, maybe I wouldn't be able to deal with it if I let the ritual finish.

Which vendors are the best to boost my reputation with first in RT? I'm a psyker if it matters.

>>538622817
Just look at the items they sell and decide which you want the most. A lot of the items are highly situational or party/build dependent.

The reality is that the stuff you find out in the world is better than most of what the factions sell until the upper tiers, and by that point you'll have picked up enough cargo to max your reputation with most of them. It's another system, like colony management, which should have been more constrained in order to create difficult choices.

>>538491285 (OP)
is this bigby and snow white

Stauton, bro, c'mon, don't dog me like this.

>>538622817
Drusians have a busted staff not too far in that’ll last you the whole game if you’re sanctic

Bro, c'mon, bro. Don't do this. I fucking hate rail roading

Still gonna loot you tho

>>538624069
time for aeon to fix this
