Generally better than AAA games… *spits in the dirt*.

Well, every companion except for Astarion only has 13 Dexterity, so you will likely have to respec the chosen rogue replacement. That said, if you’re going with a warlock yourself, then Wyll would probably be the best choice, since a second warlock will likely not be a useful addition to your...

Which companions do you like? The companions are the best part of the game, imo. My favorites are Shadowheart, Karlach, and Gale. I really wish there were more to choose from. Depending on which companions you want to bring along, you could multiclass one of them into a rogue if that’s...

I’ve started several characters already, trying to figure which one will be fun to play. I’m taking it slow though, since I can’t seem to handle playing these games for very long. My latest attempt is a wood elf monk named Ina (short for Inalia). I plan to follow the Way of Shadows, while...

That’s a 5E thing. Specializations don’t take anything away from you anymore, they just add some cool bonuses to your character every so often as you level.

Something about the writing always seems off, almost unnatural, even. I find it hard to immerse myself in the stories they make. That said, I have decided to keep trying. Who knows, maybe I’ll find the perfect character build that makes the game enjoyable enough regardless.

In all honesty, the game just makes me want to play BG1 and 2 again… but that’s just me. Larian’s style just doesn’t work for me. I couldn’t get past Act 1 in both of the Original Sin games, either, but I was hoping the DnD aspect would make this one better. I was wrong. It’s still very hard...

Druids are fun! You can do practically anything as a Druid. Wanna go full caster? Druid spells are some of the most unique spells in the game, and in 5E in general! Wanna play a tank? Circle of the Moon shapeshifting can give you that! Wanna make a bunch of undead minions? Circle of...

Wartales, Battle Brothers, those are good tactics games if you’re also into resource and team management. There’s also this new indie game in early access called The Iron Oath, which is like Battle Brothers, but with pixel graphics and a focus on having many different classes to choose from.

If Wizards are indeed going by the books, then Jaheira would be dead, and Minsc wouldn’t have left the Copper Coronet’s kitchen. Clearly they’ve changed at least some of the canon, if only for marketing purposes. To be clear, the level thing is a nitpick, not a dealbreaker. Wrex is correct...

“I fought in the Blood War. I killed demons by the hundreds.”—Karlach, the level 1 barbarian. *shakes head* Low level characters doing high level stuff is hilariously jarring to me. Like, HOW did you do that? You have 15 hp, and a nonmagical greataxe. You haven’t killed shit. That’s part...

Enough to build a new, cookie planet! Entirely made out of cookies, and possessing a gravitational pull of its own, it is doubtlessly the most attractive and delicious planet in space! Humans will have melted cookie ingredients covering and fusing with their skin, turning them into cookie...

So, my sister actually invited me to play DnD with some of her friends one day, and I took the opportunity. I didn’t know her friends, but I knew of them. After my first session, they became my friends as well. We enjoyed playing together. Alas, we don’t play any more, though. Our GM got...

A lot of my favorite worlds are ones that I’ve made up in my head. As far as the worlds of others go, Storm Thief by Christopher Wooding was honestly my favorite book growing up. He also wrote the Broken Sky series of children’s fantasy books, which helped give me the taste for fantasy that I...

I have my favorites. Ranking them is hard, as they have all played a crucial role in my development, both as a player of games and as a person. So instead of ranking them, I will list them, and give a brief explanation of why. In no particular order, my top 10: Jagged Alliance 2— “Time to...

As someone who has played every AoW game, it’s really fun, but I kinda dislike how homogenous all the races feel in this new direction the franchise is going in. I miss how the different races had different units. How they do it in this game makes it feel generic and bland in terms of racial...

In addition to class skills, there are a wide variety of weapon skills in the game. Not every weapon in a category will have the same basic attack. Some will have really wild attack skills that can improve upon a build significantly. For instance, one of my two-handed warriors now has an axe...

Warrior— big damage skills and weapons that cause bleeding are the warrior’s greatest strengths. Warriors wield axes, either 1- or 2-handed, and are mostly likely to be the ones walking away from a fight with the highest kill count. Brutes and swordsmen make better tanks, but warriors are the...

Nice! I’m glad I can help. Swordsman— Swordsmen are interesting because they fit into either a damage or tank role pretty well. They may not be the best at what they do, but they’re still good, solid units. I’d say they’re somewhere in between the brute and the warrior as a more all-rounder...

Spearman— One of the more interesting class options in the game, spearmen are primarily support units that work well as part of a team, rather than going it alone. They’re not tanks in the slightest, but they’re not fragile either, and a squad of them can really demolish the enemy forces if...
