    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Darker Underdark! How dark? Pretty dark! lol I do find that I really prefer it this way for the atmosphere. Reminds me of the lighting conditions in Early Access, where I'd stumble down a hole and determining immediately that I was probably somewhere I wasn't meant to be yet. Like it's just a...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    About as quickly as we hatched that plan to side with the Goblins, we immediately did an about face, for something with a bit more of the double cross. Sure it's always fun to waste the whole Grove at the drop of a hat, but the hit to the XP and the merchants and all the rest is pretty rough...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Having decided on a Drow monk for my main, it quickly became apparent that we were going to need some minions. I had a desire to make them all Drow, which threw a bit of a wrench into my usuals staging with the Goodberry Girls. The Withers zombies just didn't have enough Elves to get the job...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I added the Darker Underdark lighting mod just to see how that feels. Then grabbed the one for the Shadowlands, Grymforge and Shar's Temple as well, just to punish my eyes lol So far so good. We thumbed our nose at Us, and put the holes in their brain to make sure they wouldn't aggro when we...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Random foot draggin' hehe So I had this brilliant idea like I would try to make a Viconia doppelganger but using the Jaheira head model, since that one is included in the head unlock mod I grabbed. Like it's definitely my favorite for the Elves I think, cause it has that sorta triangular thing...

    Alignment

    I wow that sounds like a fun path to find! I agree with JustKneller, might put the focus on the place, cause if you can bake the evil into the setting a bit that way it maybe gives the players more room to spread their wings. Like if the game master can sorta kick it off, having something very...

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    Watched the first season of the Dune show, so now I'm pretty amped for the second I guess, though who knows how long that'll be hehe. Also I was totally trying to place the actor who played the young Tula, then realized after checking that she was totally in every other show I had just...

    That tracks for me! Also, around this time of year... Cheers! lol

    The Music Thread

    And then this one as well... I appreciated the simplicity and repetition, but also how it just kinda catches and sticks there. Like it's pretty impressive when one can combine a number of very familiar elements in that way, to achieve something that will having me humming it afterwards. I'd...

    The Music Thread

    Just checking to see if it works. I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased that Space Ragnar didn't have his show cancelled out from under him again. After Raised by Wolves and all, could have been dicey. I mean clearly I'll watch Olivia Williams and Emma Canning in anything now, but I was already pretty...

    Zaram Maldovar's Poorly Played No-Reload Cemetery (Attempt #53: KorraThe Cleric/Ranger)

    I noticed recently that my rig went from a print-screen snipe, to only f12 working, at least while I was in steam. I wasn't sure if maybe the overlay got updated or if it was windows thing or what. But anyway it was dropping everything into a different save folder and I had to go into the...

    Alignment

    I think I'm a pretty big fan of alignment and find myself missing it. To me the more interesting Axis is Law/Chaos, but between Good and Evil I find Evil more interesting. Like the question of what kind of Evil, or how to establish some nuance or gradation there. I found when playing that the...

    Playback error for YT

    I saw the same thing the other night, while trying to embed a one liner snippet from The Planet of the Apes. Probably would have added some sense to my nonsense lol. I just figured it was that regional code thing acting up on YTs end. Like maybe if it's music or film clips might be more likely...

    Philosophical Musings: A Forum Game

    Ren fair for me captures a very specific age, and maybe a spirit, though that might be bit of a stretch. The era would be like 1993, probably with a knock off Metallica t-shirt underneath whatever thrown together medieval tunic. I feel somehow certain that rabbit might have been an option on the...

    Philosophical Musings: A Forum Game

    I will take 0 for 2 then I guess lol. It was clearly tangential and a riff. The walled off fortified cathedral-town is the sense from Middle English I as I recall. It was not the main point, but I may have lost the point along the way. Good game! hehe

    Philosophical Musings: A Forum Game

    Hehe way too much flavor and consideration for my random aside about what actually constitutes a city. Like as opposed to just any other random population center of sufficient scale, by another name. Of course everyone had those too and the Greeks as well, but they called their version a Polis...

    Philosophical Musings: A Forum Game

    1) Latin America is not a continent. It's a group of people that speak a language that evolved from Medieval Latin. That's why it includes Spanish (i.e., Argentina), Portuguese (i.e., Brazil), and French (i.e., French Guiana). The country of Suriname, formerly the Dutch Guiana, is not part of...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Just crossed the 1800 hrs mark... lol I'm not sure BG3 was really created to sustain that sort of continuous play hehe (I mean it's pretty much an SP thing for me after all) but that's not half bad for a Baldur's Gate entry. I think a more realistic assessment is that the game has enough juice...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    Thanks dude! It's pretty amusing and still fun with the mods, but I do wish there was more. The game could definitely have used more portraits I think! I just did the Advent calendar puzzle for the 17th and saw a pretty cool looking pair of mobile companion wallpapers. The composition had them...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    We got our wings clipped atop Moonrise Towers once again. Brought 9 reanimated skeletons along with us, like the entire Tiefling entourage pretty much, but then they got nailed by a Fireball which set off a total Necromite death spiral. I watched it play out for like 20 minutes hiding...
