Mage -> Fighter low level duel is cool because your a regular fighter who does regular fighter things, who just so happens to be able to use every mage scroll + mage wand.

Quick note on Thrust This is mostly written to put down a couple of thoughts for myself, but it might be interesting. You start with an ability called Thrust. it doesn't sound very interesting. it does slightly more damage than a regular attack (1.5 x Primary Weapon vs Parry). Turns out this...

Here is something that I have been experimenting with/learning myself: Stacking lots of debuff statuses. They are very powerful and very easy to proc. If you hit the enemy with an attack that has Statuses attached to it, unless they are immune, they get debuffed. For instance Fireball is vs...

Some things about Tyranny: At the beginning of act 2 you can pay a large amount of rings ("gold") to access a re-trainer. This is available on any difficulty. Re-spec as much as you want. Wild. It means you don't need to worry about levelling unsuitable skills - just respec them out of them...

Ok, full Fire+Gravelight WarMage this time. Normal difficulty. I will prevail.

Tyranny No Reload - Attempt 2 - Final Update Death! Killed by Havoc + Malice. Hard is hard.

Tyranny No Reload - Attempt 2 - Update 2 Complete annihilation of Act 1! Final Fight EZ The key elements are Verse's Furies Rage combo-ability which you need rank 3 fear for. This is absurdly powerful once per rest: AoE fire pulses and big fire damage on blades. Rips through stuff. Secondly...

Restartitis Strikes! Roll a new character immediately! I was dissatisfied with the Unarmoured "spellblade" for a few reasons. I generally felt weak and I felt she was struggling by the Bladegrave section with talents spread through multiple trees. I was also particularly disapointed with...

Tyranny No Reload - Attempt 1 - Update 2 I have never done the Tiersman "Third way" path before (or any others to completion but I did the Disfavoured one the furthest). So this is pseudo-blind. We cleared the Disfavoured out of the Crossing and progressed the Magebane quest. Then we killed...

Tyranny No-Reload/Discussion Moving on to try and go 2 for 2 with a Tyranny Ironman run. Tyranny is known primarily for its gripping and heterodox story, its poor sales, its unfinished/truncated length, and its detailed spell-crafting system. It has Pillars of Eternity style combat. it has a...

Brief exposure from Mortismal. That's nice for you @IsaacCHS Deffo seeing the Disco Elysium inspiration.

Indeed. It did not take long. I have a suspicion that the low percentage of players is because the achievement was added with an update, not the base game so most players who completed the game did their one run and out before it was updated. I am not complaining though ;)

Solasta Ironman Reflection The final stuff was pretty tricky - but obviously possible blind, I thought the final dungeon was clearly unfinished and the final fight was fine - a multi-part and tension filled battle, but some clear bugs with the dragons who liked to sit on top of each other. A...

Ironman Attempt 1. Update 10. Victory.

Ironman Attempt 1. Update 9. Penultimate Update?! So we made it to level 12. Max level, which is apparently 2 levels higher than the game shipped with. Developers bow to the "more levels nao" crowd. That does make the Ironman easier - more HP buffer and level 6 spells (from level 11). That's...

Tell me you ran out of time/money in your development phase and skimped on the end game without telling me you ran out of time/money in your development phase and skimped on the end game:

Ironman Attempt 1. Update 8. We got level 10 through a few random encounters then cleared the "Temple of the Lost God". Nothing difficult. Usually Number of actions > Big Enemy - we just paralysed the boss and smacked it a few times with up cast Inflict Wounds for 50 odd damage per hit. I've...

Without ever saying it outright, afaik, Larian have tacitly acknowledged with their persistent attempts to "jazz up" BG3s mechanics that turn-based 5e combat on a computer is dull and the more of it you do, the duller it becomes. Having played a lot of Solasta recently I agree: it is dull, it is...

Ironman Attempt 1. Update 7. We are level 9. We have lots of spells. We have now 4 gems having gained the Evocation Gem for Arok. Had another near miss, apparently I was "supposed" to stealth before going through an area-warp door which led to the dungeon boss. I did not, rolled bad for...
