I haven't played any game in what feels like months and months, blah, but I have been listening to the Hades II music while doing laundry all day with my dogs hehe I like the villainous carnival of it all. Feels like Noctober, with thrash synth harpsichords and whatnot Spin and drain...

Hehe great question! So a din is a loud and clamorous noise, with connotations of being somehow particularly ominous and incessant. It's a tumultuous sound, that assails the ears and stuns the listener. Combining ideas like the braying of horses or trumpets with other such uproars, all coming...

Oh wow, I just found what is surely the first ever concept Din! Din 1999! With the trusty number 2 pencil! He was hiding in a big trunk full of old high school drawings, in my mother's garage!!! lol Clearly at this stage in his development, Din was still a 'mostly humanoid' draconic whatever...

I like your order of rank! Abdel tier had me cracking up heheh One thing I miss from the old days, just how playing as a human fighter and then dualling into something more interesting had no major downsides. I mean at almost every level break point, just sorta better off starting as a fighter...

For sure! We're all among our peeps here lol Also, along the Oregon Trail, for a follow up different branch, I'm less interested in the lost John Wayne (though he could probably just be like a Westworld robot or something) it's really more Ann Rutherford's lost character that peaked my...

I saw this the other day and thought it was trippy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oregon_Trail_(1936_film) Not the flick, cause that's lost, but the poster... pretty wild! lol It made me think that a cool concept for a game would be like something like the Lost Reels on that, and a cool...

Cool vid! I wanted to resurrect this thread as well the other day, but then I couldn't find it with the quick scan around, so I dumped my silly alignment chart in the Off Topic section instead hehe. In any case alignment's been on the mind again, so it was nice to see that hop to the top! A...

BG3 Damage Chromatics Tried to create some oppositional binaries for a visual aid table. A simplified unified equation, so that it would all make more sense... Force in contraposition to psychic, radiant to necrotic, fire to cold, thunder/sonic to lighting/electric that sort of thing...

Totally! Hehe ETW was so fantastic! I mean like I can remember it being so bugged that my entire strategy for the first 3 dozen or so campaigns was to build nothing but line infantry and a single cannon unit, and then (regardless of faction) sending it all either to India or the Americas to...

Well 3rd time wasn't the charm lol Issue this time was that when I flung all the bombs and barrels and whatnot from Shadowheart's inventory half of them scattered to the near side of the pillars. I wanted to reposition the larger kabooms and so drank a potion of invisibility but then got...

I wouldn't stress it. Took me like 3 and half years to actually get into this game lol. For the whole rest of the time I thought it might be the worst thing to ever happen to Baldur's Gate lol. I legit thought it would probably tank the whole franchise and the legacy, from the janky party...

I think we should be pretty good to go now for the Rivington antics. I found 2 more Dins, HM Sorcerer saves from last year. They're both already past the coronation, but least the saves all worked. Takes some of the pressure off when we die or fail to achieve. :) Red Eye Din was underlevelled...

And for a bonus, I noticed that I had a very old HM save from one of the early Red eye'd Dins. From like right after honour mode first dropped I suppose, just ready to roll, down there at the bottom of the savedgames. It was Xah Din with an X, one of the Bronzy Dragons! With almost the entire...

Gave it the old college try, but I think we were short by maybe a dozen smoke powder grenades. Our burst knocked him down to about 100 HP and Ravengard down to about 10 HP, but not quite enough for the one shot. I popped a potion of vigilance beforehand but even with the Dex gloves, not quite...

ps. I think it was the Archmage Rubikus, who first proposed mapping the planes in this way, as a box within a box, folding back in on itself... :)

So this was my attempt to explain the Great Wheel to somebody without using the wheel, instead just keeping it to the simplified tic tac toe arrangement more familiar from the way the Alignment system is usually presented... I thought it was pretty solid hehe Main points being to use the...

Reflecting on my dips So I think I have a kind of tier list for the various Multi-Classed Dins, based mostly on my spellcaster playstyle. I still think Wizard Dip is tough to top here. No other dip is going to give us the option for casting spells at the Character lvl right on the power...

Back on track! This time we're not going to get caught slippin' at Wyrm's Rock! I traded out the Pink Adamantine armor for the Yuan-Ti Scale Mail. Immediately dyed it Black, or as close as we could get... lol Fingers crossed! hehe

Another run with a very similar trajectory... Cyan eye'd Din got thoroughly caught up in his torch romance with Karlach, and just made a terrible decision running on impulse lol We had it all lined up, the main Runepowder kaboom from Wulbren, something like 30 smoke powder grenades, a backup...

ps. somehow this makes it even sadder for me.... Like how long have the Ghosts been haunting my queue? lol I legit told myself I would buy the PS5 and get it for that on a disc, but I never did! I am also having a similar issue mentioned by others of awkwardly trying to get the most out of...
