    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    WTF; this is just like last time! You want to play a Paladin, but you cripple your character to dump points into dexterity which: - Does nothing for disengagement attacks (neither does dual-wielding, you fruit; they're primary attacks) - Does nothing for Flames of Devotion (you still only get...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    I liked Deadfire better than Pillars 1 because I'm just not that high on RTwP, but tried another theme party not too long ago, 5-Pointed-Star, 5 Priests of Eothas (generally two with missile weapons, two with sword+board and two with reach weapons) + Eder My initial thought was that this would...

    KickStarter Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness - Tales of the Moon Cult expansion on the way

    I saw that they patched in the ability to create your own party, including a party of dwarves. You know what that means. I've played through the prologue and first proper chapter with: Dugmaren (Fighter/Cleric, staff) Helgenhar (Pregen, Fighter, Axe) Berronar (Cleric, Hammer) Moradin...

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    I'm not a Forgotten Realms fan, so I like the idea of a different direction, but I'm concerned about another original Larian ruleset/itemization. I hope they either find a table-top game with a more manageable license or get some help in systems design. Tim Cain seems to be at loose ends these...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I liked Orrin and I liked the portrayal of Kethric (the back-story is awful though), but it's hard to even enjoy killing the voiceover dude from Bake-Off / The Great British Baking Show:

    I can't think of a single RPG that depicts sex in a healthy way.

    I don't need gay elven pregen companions, I don't need gay elf sex. Just let me create my own party of dwarves.

    Fallout New Vegas DLC thread

    I really loved Dead Money; for me, it easily it beats out any questline/area from the main game. I like having to pay attention to one's surroundings, I like the writing for the companions and I like the old school western double-cross / heist set-up. With all that said, there are problems with...

    As a public service, I loaded up a save from my Gale origin playthrough and checked the ending changes, which are a bit of a mixed bag: TDLR:

    I don't think that the term "Netherbrain" is any dumber than the rest of Forgotten Realms (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Raggamoffyn). What is stupid is the fagperor using it like it's an established part of the game world and not something he just made up. "Netherbrain"

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I just finished a 2nd playthrough and it was once again an interesting experience; 1st playthrough Gale Origin (respecced to Swords Bard) Only used Shadowheart, Laezel and Karlach (Paladin) Karthillid ending 2nd playthrough Dark Urge Origin (Dark Elf Cleric of Selune [Light]) Recruited all...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I don't know if something changed in a patch, but I told him to fuck off in my first playthrough and never saw him again. What was surprising to me is that I was able to complete the quest to rescue his father and he never showed up or got mentioned. 99% of game devs would either make him...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I think a lot of this discussion about C&C misses the point because it isn't about how many differently colored ending slide explosions a game has, it's about how you play the game. When people play first-person shooting games, a lot of the time the first thing they try to do is shoot the...
