Cunning is indeed boosting your skills like stealing, coercion, etc. It also has its other uses, like boosting certain class abilities (in the bard class especially) or acting as a replacement for strength if you take the perk. Stealing is fun because in this game there are a lot of very...

If you make it all the way in this playthrough, do share how this origin ties into later events in the game, using spoiler tags of course. I am curious and I doubt I will be playing this origin any time soon, my next one is definitely going to be a human noble

I completely agree. I liked my original dwarf character from DAO so much, thanks in large part to the origin and how it tied heavily into the story, that I wanted to play all the way through to Inquisition to see what the ultimate fate of this character was based on my choices. I was satisfied...

Don't underestimate dog. His fast running speed and ability to use Overwhelm makes him one of the best anti-mage tools you have. And some mages will absolutely wreck your party if you don't deal with them quick. He's not your tank, so if he gets caught up use his Howl to stun the group and run...

Your point about getting outflanked and the general melee mosh pit is spot-on. There is not a whole lot you can do about this at the earliest levels. Soon after you leave Lothering you should make investing in crowd control a priority, there are a couple spell trees that are all about this and...

It's not important really, but I consider xenoverse one of the most single-player friendly fighters since the golden age of fighting games in the PS2 era (think Soul Calibur 3 or Mortal Kombat Armageddon) One reason is just the sheer amount of story and branching quests. The storyline that has...

People love their simulation games, it seems. Going through my own list showed me results I didn't quite expect. Here are my most played games: Injustice 2: 664 hours (and counting). I am a highly competitive player in this fighting game and this doesn't surprise me. I still try to keep my...

Game developers are just going to need to find a way to cut costs. Which shouldn't be hard, honestly. The market isn't going to bear 100$ games. Especially not in this time of widespread mediocrity. They better deliver double on the content if they want this to fly.

A couple months ago I beat ToEE for the first time, and *then* I heard about the mod that fixes bugs and adds a functional postgame with a brand new city. Kicking myself, I need to start over. I need to also bake these Cookies of Elemental Evil and make a review of them

I am taking my Arcanum playthrough slow and steady. Almost finished now. It was a delight to get a video today on Arcanum lore from Tim Cain himself. He clearly has a lot of appreciation for this IP, and I can't blame him.

I'm now tempted to make a sling in Neverwinter Nights with the "Great Thunderclap" effect. A localized explosion every time you land a hit. Silly but probably fun for a few minutes.

When I was creating an npc mod for BG1 I ended up modding in a usable throwing spear, I saw a few gibs before. I'm sure it's not possible via missile weapon. In the video it really looks like they got gibbed with a sling.

What's interesting is that Aspyr Media owns Beamdog. So it's an odd situation. NWN2, more than any game i've played, can benefit a lot with a little work. I will be watching this hopefully. I think NWN was the best enhanced edition yet so i'm cautiously optimistic.

So as of a few hours ago NWN2: Enhanced Edition popped up on SteamDB https://steamdb.info/app/2738630/history/ NWN1 and 2 are my favorite game series of all time without a doubt, so i'm eagerly awaiting this. Everything they did with NWN was a clear improvement, including the updated graphics.

Talking about City of Heroes led me to revisiting some of my old characters Luckily it's a game that is very casual friendly, I can pop in for a mission every few days and not miss anything

You can learn a foreign language and still play video games! Hobbies and productive activities are not mutually exclusive. In fact, you have to give yourself time to enjoy yourself if you are going to sustainably produce the motivation to pursue important things on your own time. At least, that...

I bought the first one recently for like 4$ or something insane. I will eventually try it. hearing what I have about the sequel, i won't touch it, but i've long accepted i'm not a modern video game enjoyer.

Have you considered throwing? You only need a handful of skillpoints to make it "good enough", and it's a decent support option for a tech melee build. Also, you're a dwarf, have you considered pumping your CON to 20? ;) it's a random bit of trivia, but a lot of the pre-generated classes end...

Do you have enough smithing to make all the charged equipment? ( sword, shield, etc.) It might come in handy. After that, i'd go into mechanical and just try to get the robots. Fitting for a dwarf imo

I created several characters and leveled them close to max. A sword and shield guy was my first.
