    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    Exactly my thought when I've read Wise's post! Personally I have a hard time to find a nice portrait among all those thousands of pics on DeviantArt. Looks like I'm poor at that...

    The Adventurer's Lounge: Guidance and Support for Candlekeep Annex Participants- Newbie or Veteran

    Sure thing go ahead, @Enuhal! I'm currently at the final stage of PF:K, but with my playing pace and considering that I'm on a vacations right now till September, I guess, it will take something like a month to finish it, so there aren't any reasons to wait for me to join. Looking forward to...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I believe, it always been a thing even for the classic BG. Usually I only take Minsc with me to save Dynaheir and then bench him but at least a couple of times he indeed went berserk when fighting some Gnolls en-route to the Gnolls' Stronghold. That's one more reason I don't like him as a team...

    No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    One of my PCs, on which I'm running BG3 is about 10 years old: i7-3770 on Z77 motherboard with GTX 1080, 16 GB RAM and HDD (system is on SSD). It's manageble, at least for Act 1 with all settings in game on Ultra Overall Preset and 1440*900 window mode (which is my preferable setup for gaming)...

    I'm not sure that my skills as an advertising agent are all that great but the main selling points of Pathfinder's PC series for me personally are the following: * I'm a big fan of games with rich and complex mechanics which I love to study, preparate and investigate and Pathfinder is...

    There is a pretty great PoE2 mechanics guide by @thelee from Obsidian boards which helped me immensely to learn it and adapt quicker. My core party for PoE2 is exactly the same as for PoE: me as Cipher (Ascendant)/Druid (Lifegiver), Eder (Swashbuckler), Aloth (Wizard), Pallegina...

    Nice =) I don't think the change in mechanics is that significant to feel them as completely different games. It didn't take me too long to adapt. Now I'm switching between them without any efforts. But I do want to finish at least Kingmaker first and this will take a time. With your gaming...

    Well, it's hard to pick one with so many choices out there... :unsure: Right now I'm at the beginning of Act 6 of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which is pretty close to the endgame and I'm going to finish it finally after all those exacerbations of the re-startis syndrome. Still no-reloads so far. My...

    What about loading an autosave before waylay? I think in this situation it's perfectly permitted.

    Make sense! You definitely don't need Cray supercomputer to run our favorite games :) Even though I've upgraded my PC last month to Intel's 13th generation CPU and NVidia RTX 4070 Ti Super videocard (mainly for BG3), my old PCs on i7-870 (was introduced in Q2/2010) or i5-3470/i7-3770 (launched...

    This is sad. I hope, there are some ways to overcome this (something like that) but it could be too tiresome to be worth it.

    Pretty much my reaction when I saw the EE. I've bought both BG1/2-EE and SoD but after I've launched them it took me a little longer than 5 seconds but not too much longer to close'em and never return/look back. Reading our no-reload threads where people run through SoD doesn't help either. My...

    I’ll be immensely happy if my 'prophecy' will never come true. :)

    SCS v30 - L11, Con 9 and 41 hp; SCS v34.3 - L11, Con 9 and 33 hp; So it seems he still can’t make up his mind with that question. But anyway I don't think the idea of building your strategy on the assumption of a preventive strike while your foes are still neutral and not prebuffed is a right...

    Now that was rough indeed with too many *sould haves*, *ifs* and *hopes*, which is totally out of character for you ;) But what is really matters is that your party survived to fight another day and learned a lesson. :)

    Now that is exactly for what an Item Randomizer mod exists! :) And it's a must have for me just like a SCS and Ascension mods. Each new run like a first time one. :)

    Yep, I've found this statement too and I agree with you that this is 'an attempt to justify a questionable decision'. Still I can't call a 'free' full plate's grade armor, found on some backwater fields, 'insignificant'... :) But, just like you, I'm cool with the change. Player's skills are far...

    Ring of Protection +1 alone with Ankheg's Plate - is it a EE change?

    I don't think Alena needs luck (which usually runs out sooner rather than later). Nor she needs an Intelligence (in which she’s pretty average anyway). What she really needs is for you to not lose interest in a party run way before it will end one way or another ;) In any case, I'm looking...

    Duck and Cover: Fallout Permadeath Runs for the Undiscerning Wastelander

    Yep, I'm still running Pathfinder: Kingmaker these days (had some re-startis strokes alone the way...). Still no-reload (on Hard) and at the farthest state I've ever reached in the game (past Coronation and almost reached the Pitax). The progress is slow since the game is really huge and I'm...
