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

    Me too stay away from v.35 for the moment not only because of all those somewhat controversial modifications but also since it's not bugless/polished enough for my personal taste yet. My runs are always very slow and when updates of the mod are coming out like every couple of days or weeks it...

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

    You might know that already by heart, but for me personally everything that makes a game "more in line with the original adventure" is perfectly sensible. :)

    Personally, I would definitely recommend to start with Kingmaker first. I'm in WotR myself at the moment, but have to mention again that aside from all those QoL things it brings I still prefer the Kingmaker in most aspects of gameplay and story wise.

    @Borco Yep! That's why Charisma is THE stat for me for quite a while already =) Especially considering I mostly play as a Diplomat Sorcerer nowadays (Pathfinder, BG3 etc.).

    As far as I'm aware you need to have NPC reaction 15-20 to get that scroll from Drienne: 200 exp, Reputation +1, [Protection from Undead] You roll between 8 - 12 and then apply a modificator. Your heroic reputation gave you +4 reaction adjustment and 12 Charisma gave 0. In this case you just...

    Now, that's quite unfortunate, @Borco... :'( Nonetheless, it was great run, as usual, and a pleasure to follow! Long breaks during the course of the run is a common issue, I believe. Myself included. Most of those are usually abandoned with the remaining few continued with a considerable...

    Tales of the Watcher: A Pillars of Eternity I + II No Reload Thread

    From my personal point of view it should be something like this: the same race, culture and attributes scores while it could be some variations in background since there are some changes in background>skills combo between PoE1 and Deadfire. Also as long as the original class is still in there...

    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...

    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...

    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. :)
