I have used this to great advantage on certain runs. Skald/Haer'dalis was a lot of fun. Actually kind of blows my mind that Irenicus only got a backstory at the last minute. I always felt that he felt weirdly out of place in the trilogy. BG1 and TOB are on topic, BG2 is a very lengthy sidequest.

Go play Live a Live to see how great a short game can be Play until you get to the "villains" campaign. The best 20 minutes of gaming i've ever had. An entire storyline, complete with a theme and a lesson, and is genuinely heart wrenching at times.

I have a soft spot for this trilogy since I played them at a young age. I still remember the character I used 😅 a very vanilla fighter. It was always either that or druid as I learned the rules.

Reminder that it has been 8+ years since the release of Inquisition. There were 2-3 year gaps between each game before. How many people are still really invested? The time to capitalize on the Dragon Age name has long since come and gone imho. Not only that, but the fact that it was a...

I like the idea of this a lot, if you can create the game world with an easy to use toolset in the same vein as NWN. Don't see the same appeal, necessarily, otherwise. MMOs have a lot of underexplored narrative potential. My favorite questline in any gave ever made is from the original...

I could probably beat Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 (GBC) in an afternoon with speedup on...yet i've invested more time into them than most full length RPGs. I think there is something to be said for replayability over having a very long main story. Not that there is anything wrong with a long...

If you need your game rules to align 100% with your personal sensibilities and convictions you are not really role playing, you are self inserting. I despise this entire debate tbh. So I won't say anything more :ROFLMAO:

Watching DnD's slow decline over the past decade has been honestly depressing. I loved this hobby greatly for a long time

Dark Sun is absolutely built with 2nd edition logic in mind. Baked into the cake mechanics-wise and likewise with the lore. And I love it! Stay tuned for more Dark Sun stuff in NWN by the way. It's been a long time in the making but that's because the guys behind the technical stuff are doing...

Looks great, will try.

It's quite depressing how the most insufferable people with the most insufferable, self righteous viewpoints are the ones that have a total stranglehold on western culture and, consequently, game development.

I think it would be a bit more interesting if RPGs let you get led down a path of evil, rather than being born some sort of psychopath if you play the evil side like in many, many RPGs. Let the player be tempted with a few minor moral compromises, better if they can even justify it to...

Cant wait to have grandkids so I can show them the release of Chapter 2

I love Warhammer 40,000 so i've been playing two of the tactics RPGs they have released in the past few years. Mechanicus, dealing with the tech-priests of the setting, and Chaos Gate Daemonhunters, which is centered on the ever-popular Space Marines. Mechanicus is an incredible tactics RPG and...

What I mean is that most VR-native games offer some clever gameplay mechanics to add immersion and overall play very well, but are all extremely short. I can complete the average VR game in half a day or less. Devs need to take the platform seriously, because it really deserves it. As much as I...

I'm still waiting for the first good VR rpg to push the hardware to its limits. It's good for so many unique gameplay experiences I don't even know where to start. I'm a huge fan of Tyranny and I can't help but think how good a setting like that would do. I mean, Edicts are just the type of...

I'm still trying to figure out what transformations work best with what classes. Struggling in some campaigns on the harder difficulties so I figured i'd optimize some characters. The werewolf works great for hunters or warriors, same with the wereraven. All of the elemental powers are pretty...

It's worth mentioning that not everything is randomly generated. Although your characters are rolled for you at start-up, you can just click on them to edit their appearance and personality. I did no editing for this team, however. They are who the dice made them. But I have mods that greatly...

I'm currently running the campaign that begins with one of your legacy heroes (one who has completed one or more adventures), now grown old, returning to see a grown up son of theirs named Jandin, who fights a friend of his in a village tournament and wins. He doesn't have the best reception...

It kills me to think about. All they had to do, all anyone wanted them to do, was release ES6. Nobody asked for online Fallout. Nobody asked for online Elder Scrolls! Nobody asked for a decade-long delay for your most well known franchise but once ESO became a thing I knew it was inevitable...
