    BG Classic Trilogy: The one where I've lost my marbles

    😉 Seriously, an interesting take, and I agree with a lot of it. The writing was always overrated in the context of the overall experience and what was a groundbreaking degree of interactivity between party members. I suspect you’d find similar problems with BG3.

    What game are you currently playing?

    Chess is one of those games I wish I was good at… Really fun to play, though. I worked in a restaurant once and the chef ‘ordered’ me to stay and play chess with him when we closed. We’d drink wine and play until late at night, and I was getting paid.

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    This is pretty much me, as well, but there are a few story outcomes I’m not sure I’d ever be able to accept, e.g. a bad outcome for the Nightsong. And I really wanted the owl bear cub this time, for some reason. Interestingly, in terms of RP there are decisions that really hurt me tactically...

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    You seem to make it pretty far in every run. I tend to have to reload occasionally, usually due to RNG going against me, or I botch a fight by misjudging distance, etc. I just had to start over because I fucked up with the owl bear cub.

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I had restartitis before I even started my very first game!

    BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    So how is that shadow hound? And how is that sorc subclass overall? Just from reading, it looks like the only one of the new subclasses that interests me. I do wish it got Hunger of Hadar, though.

    Another trick, apparently, is to make like you’re going to change classes at level up, and then revert back to the original class (although actually switching to multi should work, too, if you are planning to do that). I tested this twice and it worked, though of course twice isn’t statistically...

    Baldur's Gate III News

    UPDATE: Patch 8 is buggy. Avoid. My character portraits changed to weird versions on level up (my guess would be something generated from portrait mode), so I took a crawl around the internet to see if other people had reported it. They had, and a heap of other problems as well. Back to my...

    Congrats on having a child, Cahir! That is amazing. But I can see how that could interfere with gaming. On the other hand, it’s never too soon to start them on multiplayer. Problem solved. 😂

    Wow, that was fast! Thanks! I was going to wait for hotfixes before installing 8, but I’m feeling inpatient as it looks like 8 already fixes a lot of issues. I hope you’re all having a happy Good Friday. I’m stuck at work, unfortunately. My inner child just wants to get the fuck out of here...

    Baldur's Gate III News

    Hi everyone, I have a question about patches. Obviously, if you install a full patch, e.g. Patch 8, you need to start a completely new game for it to take effect. But does anyone know about hotfixes? Can you install a hotfix and continue with a current save?

    I think I will wait a few weeks for the inevitable bugs to get ironed out. Sure is tempting, though! Have you updated, yet?

    The sports thread

    A truly great fighter. He can make a strong case for being the second best heavyweight ever. Third best at worst. And a remarkable character, too.

    Chocolate Chip Cookies... from the Temple of Elemental Evil?

    Thanks for sharing this, Fandraxx. And sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Will tavern patrons get a discount on them if they are?

    Top 20, 100, etc List of Games

    Hmmm... I don't even know if I have 20 games in total to contemplate. But here is an off of the top of my head list. My ranking is based on two main criteria: how good I thought the game was (relative by era), and on the amount of impact the game had on me - or how much fun I had. BG1 BG2...

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    A discouraging take on Hasbro's plans for D&D titles. Nothing really surprising, but it will surely cause players to look elsewhere for crpgs, if other developers can raise the bar (as Warhorse apparently has) after the precedent Larian set.
