    What do you make of this? (computer parts)

    The only thing I can guess is that they might have excessive inventory of that particular keyboard. They’re all on sale, but the Canadian one is 91% off, versus the other two at 15%. They may be changing their modular design, too, and want to start moving everything. But, hey, it’s cool that you...

    If you could sit down with James Ohlen to discuss his work on the original Baldur's Gate games, what would you want to ask him?

    Oh cool, you're that DM Wyvern. I've come across some of your videos in the wild, and of course you did the 25th anniversary of BG2 videos. Well done!

    1. Was there ever a +12 Hackmaster in the works? 2. What was the story with Shank and Carbos reappearing in BG2?

    Amazing Grace: A fair chance for the classic trilogy

    Well done. I really like the choice to narrate through letters to Gorion.

    I bet there will be dynamic pricing soon, too.

    Interesting and cool videos thread

    Sadly, my monitor at work is exposed to the entire office. 😂 I guess I'll be watching/listening to this at home in chunks.

    I get less worried about AI every day

    @BelgarathMTH I’m also really sorry to hear about your loss. Pets are family, for sure. My sincerest condolences. ❤️ I would also like to say - and I’m sure I speak for everyone here - that we genuinely care about other forum members. We may be anonymous, but our good will is genuine. There...

    A BG2 Remake?

    You know what? I think you should just cheat the stats. Why not? It's a single player game. I started doing that in my last game for RP. Nothing absurd, but I boosted my paladin's intelligence to 10 because I didn't want her to be as dumb as a bag of rocks, you know? It wasn't who my character...

    A BG2 Remake?

    I think Jaheira's execution was definitely the best. They really captured her character. I guess my problem is I never cared for her to begin with, lol. They really missed with Viconia, though. As for Sarevok, The plot is already convoluted enough, lol. I guess that's kind of indicative of...

    A BG2 Remake?

    I think Larian did a terrible job with the original characters (especially Viconia). They should never have been there in the first place, imo. This is one thing the remake devs will have to be VERY careful about, not just the game mechanics.

    A BG2 Remake?

    Me: "I wish they'd move on from BG already. Can't they create ANYTHING new?" Also me: "Just take my money already, (insert developer's name here)." I do wish they'd do something new - preferably in a different setting than the FR - but I'm still interested in seeing what they come up with. If...

    Well, Larian is out of the picture now. As for emulating Larian's game design, that would likely be far too expensive and time consuming. I suspect it will remain a classical isometric title with cosmetic upgrades. I'd expect it to look more like Pillars of Eternity or Pathfinder than BG3. The...

    You know, I have nothing against BG remakes. I'd always thought the EEs should have been remakes, with graphics updates (on par with, say, the POE games) and more stable engines. And I'm now at the point where the games are too dated for me to enjoy (I haven't played BG1 or 2 in nearly two...

    [Forum Game interest check] Would you like to play a game?

    It’s an intriguing idea and I commend your effort, but it’s just not something I’d be interested in. I’m sorry it’s hard to keep regular games going for you in RL, btw. It’s unfortunate when you have a passion or interest and can’t generate participation. I had similar experiences back in the...

    How do you feel about tabletop?

    Oh, you were clear and I got it. I was just contrasting that 65% rule of WoTC with my own experience with earlier editions, and our pitiless style of DMing. Maybe I had not been clear about that. But yeah, when we played, it was tough to survive. Our characters were dropping like flies. The...
