From what I have seen and heard, this doesn't seem to be the kind of game where you go straight for the boss once you can, but more like you need to grind through the respawning trash mobs in some areas a bit more often until you gain some levels and get some good drops and then you can tackle...

Nah, I'd still very much appreciate advice. I just figured that many people learned to play some games simply by trying and not by asking veteran fighters if they should hold the sword by the blunt or the pointy end.

On second thought, maybe it will just be fun to try and experiment and figure things out without knowing anything and seeing what kind of character comes out of it :)

Thanks. I think for now I just have general questions, I see I have slots for two weapons sets, so would it be reasonable for my Amazon to use javelin/spear for melee and bow for ranged? Right now I prefer stabbing rather than throwing but mostly because I don't know how many resources I'll...

Oh I remember now how it felt to play the first game. The same feeling of those well-done sounds and the charming old-fashioned look... and the primitive and simple fun of stabbing at something that dies with a silly squeaking sound and drops shinies :) I only left the camp and stabbed at...

Seems I'm a barbarian. No dual-wielding at the dining table here, it's single weapon or unarmed!

To be fair, I only noticed the out-of-place weapon later in the screenshot. My first thought was "tough lady" and then came a very serious and touching conversation.

Hahaha... as much as I appreciate showing older people in games as active and not just giving wise comments, a little more realism wouldn't hurt. Like, give her a short sword or a spear or bow or something, but a woman of her physique and age in half plate and with a huge two-handed axe on her...

There she is, ready to die trying. Sorry, I know Antimatter had an Amazon called Kassandra too but looking at her there's just no other name I could possibly give her.

Between all the great stuff, I have to go on about the negative points a bit again. The camera is driving me nuts. In combination with the partially hidden vertical layers of scenery and buildings and the odd pathfinding, it's annoying. I don't know how often I have accidentally clicked...

So about D2... I'm a bitoverwhelmed and have no idea what the choices I can make there mean. There's Ladder, Hardcore and Pre-Expansion, then there's online or offline characters. Hardcore I think I know, it means if you die you need to create a new character, that's certainly not for a...

Ever since I finished Diablo I earlier this year, I have been keeping an eye on D2R. The update in this thread reminded me to check again and it's on sale so I finally got it! Today will be BG3 day, but I think D2R can become my in-between game for shorter sessions, in the place that ESO had...

W-O-W... look at that, the Stray Gods soundtrack has been nominated for a Grammy! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1920780/view/3817424410905186228?l=english

I can't unhear the song, with the melody of "Ragnar the Red" for some reason. Let's hope there are no heads rolling in the end here, it's always such a mess to wipe up.

Very interesting insights, theories, speculations. The room with the various portals made me think "Sigil" and planar travel was already a topic in BG3 too and the next game pushing many boundaries might fit into that too, but a game in the Planescape setting, with interplanar travel or...

Oh I remember Dragonheart was the first cool-looking dragon in a movie! When I was little I absolutely loved the cute dragon from the Neverending Story:

I don't know why everyone keeps whining about Krogan drinks. I was stranded on that deserted planet for months and you still haven't finished the homemade Ryncol I brought with me last time, those fire elementals used it as fuel, that's cheating. I brought some more by the way but the bard...

Congrats, and continuing good luck to Gauvain! Yes, the mob sizes in SoD can be quite difficult and the AI changes too. I find it especially annoying that unlike SCS AI, in SoD everyone in the mob rushes to attack the incapacitated party member, like with those trolls that can hold or paralyze...

Damn now you made the Krogan battlemaster's eyes water. I'm sorry for the long absence, my ship's engines were having difficulties, the fuel supplies were empty and I was stranded on a deserted planet for quite a while. I promise not to stay away for so long again.

Lucky me, to drop by right when free drinks are offered... *pulls up a barrel to sit on* Paying with a song is even better, because money makes the pocket heavier but music and good company make the heart lighter.
