Still enjoying Chapter 4. Pretty much loving everything I see here, from story twists, to characters, to fights. Almost every fight allows me to inflict some crazy damage in melee with my main character. Here is the biggest (so far) critical hit - 346 vs Chivarro. This Minagho's "acquaintance"...

Yeah, everything we keep hearing about Subnautica 2 and Krafton is bad. And here is Eurogamer using double standards. They DID NOT give CoD any bad score, even while the game blatantly uses AI...

The Embark Studios extraction shooter Arc Raiders has exceeded expectations for player counts. Media opinions are also positive, with an 84 Metacritic rating. However, one score sticks out like a sore thumb, as the only negative Arc Raiders review on the aggregator. Eurogamer awarded the game a...

Chapter 3 final boss fight against Dazzazand turned out to be more difficult for me than the Playful Darkness. Probably because he wasn't alone, and 2 Marilith Conquerors next to him posed the biggest threat: Blade Barrier spell. On Unfair, it can hit for up to 150 damage as AoE and immediately...

The end of Chapter 3 is full of intense, challenging, and diverse fights. The kind of fights that would have given me a scare when I was only starting to understand the Unfair difficulty. Take Siabrae, for example. A lvl 20 druid that opens a fight (with no option of your party's first shot...

How should I handle spoilers going forward, @Serg_BlackStrider (considering you haven't played past Drezen)? Ivory Sanctum reminded me why this game is not just good, it's very good. It is an excellent area full of interesting fights, but also intriguing stories, mysteries, and high stakes...

This was supposed to be a post about my slow power grind in Chapter 3 as I managed to complete all (!) crusade battles (and capture forts) before my party reached lvl 11. I was about to get to that level after doing just Mythic quests, side activities, and exploring (not even entering any of the...

Chapter 3 start is a very interesting moment in the game. I remember when I first played WotR on release, the amount of new information, quests, systems, etc. felt a bit too much, and it was clear the game switched to a more open version compared to Chapters 1 and 2, where everything was a bit...

I'm inclined to continue with this party. At lvl 10, my witch doctor finally got access to the Loremaster prestige class, and I took Remove Sickness from the Cleric spell list. I chose Improved Abundant Casting for both my bard and my vivisectionist, so I have enough casts of Freedom of Movement...

Out of my six characters, the only one I’d say is objectively weaker than her vanilla NPC counterpart is the witch doctor (the healer role), specifically, when compared to Daeran. She lacks several crucial buffs like Remove Sickness, Freedom of Movement, and Death Ward. I also miss the...

Another topic of this week is Satya Nadella's quote that games these days compete with TikTok and YT shorts (and that's why, apparently, Xbox games often fail--according to him). I can recommend this article by Jez Corden. This statement has become a bit controversial...

The second part. Here is an interesting quote:

This week saw Amazon's AI-powered layoff of 14,000 employees... Among all the bad things, this fact stood out to me the most: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/as-amazons-game-business-crumbles-the-public-is-surprised-to-discover-that-it-was-trying-to-compete-with-steam-all-this-time/...

I learned that a creature is also treated as flat-footed when it can't see an enemy (it might happen if it's blinded, or the enemy is invisible). It can happen right in the middle of the battle. Here, my duelist is attacking a nasty opponent, Maugla the Nabassu, with Finnean the Talking...

I probably would say that Act 2 is more difficult than Act 1, especially the Gargoyle Cave and the Vescavor Swarm parts. We'll see if it actually becomes a bit easier later. My reasoning is that in Act 1 (thinking about the hardest encounters) you need to handle 1 enemy (sometimes with their...

Thank you SOOOOO much for that guide. Not only it offers a cool perspective on how I can do a damage caster on Unfair (something I wanted to do actually), at one point in the future, it does explain a few things. E.g. I just learned you can right-click (in TB) and change movement type to 5 ft...

I've been reading this Reddit guide for Act 2 on Unfair: I'm seeing now what you meant about domains, considering the main advice that guide has is spamming Touch of Good or Bit of Luck on the character with the most critical damage in the party. "The Vescavor side is just too frustrating for...

While I have a plan for developing this or that feat, I don't have enough patience for ALL the details, preferring to deal with stuff as it comes. Such as Leper's Smile. The fact I had tried TB made me think about opportunities, and here is what I came up with. Descari swarms have speed of 30...
