    Sector Unknown - A Story-Rich, Isometric RPG Set in A Shadowy Expanse of Space

    Ngl. Considering this is a website that's *expert* at looking at games and tearing them to shreds... the brilliance of your game is radiating out of my monitor and searing my eyeballs (from the vertical slice that's visible). You seem like you've plain old done amazingly good work so far (in...

    Game News Colony Ship Released

    This is both amazing and a mark of how extremely old I am. Which is hugely, hugely depressing. I'm going to cry in a corner now.

    RPS interview with David Gaider on romances and Beamdog's failed attempts at Baldur's Gate III and a Planescape Torment sequel

    Romance in video games is great. It's plain old hilarious seeing if the writers will screw it up. Usually the games with good romance have great everything else, because the good writers *have their schtick together*.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    I actually haven't counted because I am exploring Staff of Arcane Blessing to consistently dump powerful debuffs on bosses. My current angle to get my Wizard contributing more is Staff of Arcane Blessing to land extremely high percentage fears on bosses. And seeing if Glyph of Warding does...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    Incandescent Staff. The Spellsparkler. Evocation Wizard 10 and Staff of Arcane Blessing deserve a mention, Arcane Blessing doesn't increase Magic Missile's damage but is just straight powerful. Still, I'm having trouble getting as much juice out of Wizard as I'd like.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    20/21/22 strength is enough stats to throw humanoid sized enemies as a barbarian with enraged throw by the way. A... very achievable amount. I'm probably going to respec my barbarian to Tavern Brawler just to enjoy throwing most enemies around like rag dolls in all honesty. It seems like too...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    Depends if you're taking a long rest every 3 fights in order to use level 2 spells to "straight combat" most fights. My experience was, I felt that wizard/cleric/rogue/fighter was just vastly harder to play than druid/rogue/fighter/barbarian in levels 1-4. In a "straight fight", surprise...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    #5: Minor illusion is genuinely the best skill in the game. Distract, reposition, turn based, buff, enter combat, it's by far the best ability IMO.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 - tips, tricks & helpful information

    Alright. If Baldur's Gate 3 is hard. How to make it not hard. #1: Press Shift-C to stealth entire party. Then, press Shift-Space before combat to engage turn based mode with party stealthed and enemies unaware. Buff, reposition, win. #2: Click on the character portraits in the bottom left...

    Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Feel like this needs to be expanded to: "As with all modern video games, playing them within 3 months of the listed release date before the "open beta" ends and it's patched is a complete mistake." The best thing you can do when one of these games drop is to forget it exists and go back to...
