    Translations of wapanese games

    Are there any Uncharted Waters or Taiko Risshiden-like games out there that are actually translated?

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    I wish they had kept that around, I actually enjoyed the baseball minigame in Shinada's part. Then I started playing Y5, burned out right before I hit the finale and skipped 6 only to find out that baseball in LAD is terrible.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

    So Obsidian FINALLY hes seen the error of their ways and is adding turn based combat. What took them so long? Why did they ever listen to Sensuki? Why did you fuckers buy Infinity engine trash instead of TOEE?

    Hoard everything.

    How does a stash help? If you're a hoarding autist that just means you'll run back to town all the time to store these potions of pitiful strength instead of consuming them while they're still useful like the game designers intended.

    Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II Mod Thread

    It's not as fine grained as doing everything manually, you get the same options you'd have if you used the WeiDu setups and some additional compatibility ones. If you want control over individual files and are familiar with the inner workings of every BG2 mod it's probably not for you. It does...

    Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II Mod Thread

    You don't have to use BWP presets at all.

    Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II Mod Thread

    BigWorldSetup does all that and more. You select what to install in its GUI, configure mod settings, let it check for incompatibilities and dependencies and once you're happy with your config just hit go and come back to a finished modded BGT (or just BG1 or BG2) install. There's really no...

    Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II Mod Thread

    Get the excellent Big World installer: https://bitbucket.org/BigWorldSetup/bigworldsetup/downloads It's worth using even when you just want to play BG2.

    PE Questions and Answers

    Does anyone know the formula for Faith and Conviction deflection and resist bonuses from reputation?

    PE Questions and Answers

    Raedric's keep and the temple are the hardest parts of act 1. You should be able to hit level 4 or 5 if you finish all other act 1 quests but there's no harm in advancing the main quest first either. Jolting touch is a great enchantment, there is a war bow that comes with it you can get as a...

    This might make ranger a terrible choice.

    Are rangers that bad?

    The wolf is pretty good too, with the talent that adds 3 DR he's not that squishy (IIRC he has 15 DR but maybe that's a bug) and he seems to put out as much damage as the Paladin companion with an enchanted two hand sword and can solo kill weaker enemies fast even without the damage buff from...

    Wizards

    Low level spells are powerful by design. At level 9 level 1 spells shift from per rest to per encounter use, at level 11 you get level 2 spells too. This is how it works for Druids and Priests too but Wizards can get rings that add additional spell casts. Having 6 level 1 spell casts for a...

    PoE Mechanics Issues

    I use Knockdown all the time in situations like that. Either so that one of the other 5 characters in my party can flank or engage the enemies priests or wizards without getting tied up in an engagement or to take out the hardest hitter for 6-12 seconds. There's also weapon enchantments that...

    4X Do you love/hate micromanagement in 4X?

    DFhack features like workflow and autolabor that automate tedious and brainless tasks like making sure that there's always enough barrels or beds produced or reassigning your 50 idling dwarfes to low skill jobs that need to get done make it so much better though. Warmongering in Civ5 on deity...
