I forgot to ever post about my thoughts on the RT beta properly, but the real deal comes out Dec 7th, so hold on to your bolters.

I know this is entirely tangential but I would love to see Josh Sawyer, with BG3's budget, remake BG 1 and 2, keeping DnD 2nd ed rules but re-doing the whole game graphically. Obviously It's not going to happen., and I don't even know if it would be "good", but I'd like to see it.

Also it's mid-term holidays at the moment so I am brushing way up on my undergrad level physics despite only teaching child vape addicts. Got Feynman's lectures on lock and a 1920s book on calculus, a discipline which for me is entirely pointless but which I am steadily attempting to (re) master.

Read both Sagan's Contact and Stanislaw Lem's His master's Voice recently, cool books about "contact" which are nicely far away from "space fantasy" or even "low imagination" sci-fi.

Just fold their local area of space down to 2 dimensions. EZ kill.

So a little bit of criticism of the shifter: they have a big size ring, which makes shifter tanking slightly harder since even enlarged non-reach party members cannot reach over the shifter. That means Cam and MC are side by side. Of course if you give Cam a shield then on Core her AC is fine...

fermi paradox? thats hot.

Been playing a Shifter. They are a very good (OP) class. Base dex shifter gets great AC from the off. You could go Lich for a full spell book meaning Shield and Mage Armor and I think you could get some silly numbers, but I'm going to run Demon as usual - still gets mirror Image but you would...

Lol. I have no interest in playing D4 but I can admit to a certain degree of schadenfreude as I watch videos about D4 :sneaky:

I bought D2R, its's pretty good fun. ran a HC Poison Jav and HC Summon Druid, both very fun.

I think that's what makes it so weird for me though, as per my last line. Because the protagonist is not really anything special at all and yet they have this effect? "Why am in charge?" is a question I have asked myself a few times as I play. This bit:

I thought I might try and develop my points about the companions. I like them all, but there are some issues about their world placement. This is, first, due to their de-protagonising effect, and secondly, because we encounter them in media res rather than in situ; now these aren't quite the...

I have become increasingly frustrated with the story-thread of this game. Too much shit thrown at the wall to see what sticks. Should have either a) ditched the mindflayer thing and gone with the "classic baldurs gate" story, or b) gone all in on the mind flayer thing. This hybrid just feels...

Unarmoured, Dex-based Dual-wield Eldritch Knight - also Gnome.

1 click inventory filtering for Weapons, Armor, Scrolls, Equipables etc and "sell all junk/non magical gear" like in WotR would go quite a way to making things more palatable.

And I thought my RGB was OTT, this is next level

Having played a dual cleric party with MC tempest cleric and Shadowheart I felt bad for her. Tempest just feels OP due to getting all these AoE spells meaning you basically have half a wizard along for the ride, who can also do all those cleric things. Meet Melissan, the sweetest mass murderer...

I got to act 2 then I restarted, the lure of full martials is too much! Dual Wielding Gnome fighter is go. But then the first thing I did was to re-spec Shadowheart out of trickery cleric (boo!) into tempest Cleric (Yay!), and min-max her stats. Martial Weapon Proficiency! Heavy Armor! Thunder...

The WotR fextralife wiki was pretty dire, which generated a lot of frustration - considering the Kingmaker Fandom one was pro, combined with their auto-playing videos and the like; the BG3 one is much better.
