On Spell Level: For the purposes of dispel/remove calculations, the caster’s actual level is used. If you are 5 levels or more above the caster trying to dispel you they have a zero percent chance of success. On Leading with Your Aura: That’s one of the idiosyncratic phrases I use. Players...

Remove Fear covers fear. Chaotic Commands covers Stun. Death Ward covers death magic. A cleric can cover all three. If you romance Viconia she won’t leave because of your reputation. She can also be redeemed. By the end game a single class cleric will be at L40, a multi class cleric at L23...

Sounds fun! When I RP runs I like to leave a slot open for guests, especially in SoA. That can be 5 + 1 or 4 + 1. PC, Jaheira, Minsc, Imoen is a respectable core. Keeping the total number of party members down would help you level up quicker and facilitate concentrating save buff and immunity...

Glad to see you planning a run, JustKneller. BG is pretty forgiving when it comes to party composition. Party decisions are less about what’s workable and more about how you want to play. If your party fulfills your vision of the run, then go with it. If you enjoy your crew enough, you’ll make...

Fallout 3: Paradise Falls- Promises Kept Lilith has a plethora of admirable traits, chief among them being honesty, forthrightness and dependability. If she says she's going to do something she does it. Bully for her, I guess. Having promised Mayor MacCready she'd rescue his friends, Sammy and...

Fallout 3: Jefferson Memorial to Little Lamplight- I Have Nothing, Actually You Have Nothing I like dropping musical references. They're fun because everyone gets them. Every now and then I drop one that's not fun because no one gets it. For example: Today's subtitle. That's a reference to a...

Fallout 3: Jefferson Memorial to Vault 112- So the Story Goes With Three Dog's problem solved, it was time to focus on our own. Lilith was missing her dad. I was missing some garden gnomes. I'm pleased to say that we solved Lilith's problem. Mine less so. Before we get to the Jefferson...

Fallout 3: Rivet City to the Museum of Technology- Get Happy With Lilith healthy again, and our equipment woes assuaged, there was little reason not to help out Three Dog. He wants a radio dish to get his station running again? And he'll reward us with a weapons cache? Fine. We're in. Why not...

Very cool! It's a hoot. It's flawed for sure. And there's a zillion ways to criticize the joy out of it. The writing it bad. The gameplay is wonky, and full of exploits. And, yes: It's not Black Isle's 1 or 2. Those are all valid points, to which Lilith and I say, "So fracking what?" If you set...

Fallout 3: GNR Plaza to Rivet City- The Hangover Ensconced at GNR Headquarters, with Three Dog sound asleep, Lilith and I had a lot to discuss. She was pleased with herself, having single handedly defeated an army of super mutants, but there was the small matter of the bill. It wasn't pretty...

Fallout 3: Tepid Sewers to GNR Plaza- Sometimes You Just Want to Beat the Piss Out of Some Mole Rats After our harrowing trip to the heart of hymenoptera darkness, Lilith and I found ourselves at odds. She was eager for a grand adventure- something new and exciting, a test of her strength. I...

Fallout 3: Grayditch to Marigold Station- Them or Those? No, dear reader, our subtitle isn't a grammar quiz. It's a shoutout to the inspiration for the Fallout 3 quest "Those!," the 1954 horror flick, "Them!" Alrighty then! Who's down for a good old fashion monster hunt? Lilith, now rocking...

Yuppers! I’m partial to energy weapons, specifically A3-21s Plasma Rifle and the Alien Blaster, but the Lincoln Repeater is my fav early game weapon. It does excellent damage, and it’s easy to maintain since it can be repaired with generic hunting rifle parts.

Fallout 3: Rivet City to the Museum of History- A Little Bit of History Repeating Lilith has found this thread and she isn't happy. She says this isn't Baldur's Gate. I'm assuming everyone knows this game when most people don't. Maybe she has a point. But y'all aren't most people. You're people...

Fallout 3: Arefu and Minefield- Yes, Alanis, It's Ironic. Now Go Back to Sleep In our last episode Lilith savaged Tenpenny Tower, inspired by People's Republic of America Radio's admonition to tear down the fat cats. And what, pray tell, was the reputation designation she received for that most...

Fallout 3: Rivet City to Tenpenny Tower- Down With the Wall Street Gang! You can tell a lot about someone from their favorite radio station. Most people are into Three Dog over at GNR. I get that. Three Dog is cool and all. But he's always yapping about "fighting the good fight" and what even...

Thanks! It’s good to hear from you, Serg! I’m trying to match the dumb fun, tongue in cheek tone of the Bethesda games and the Amazon series.

Fallout 3: The Super Duper Mart- VATS, You're Killing Me Here Is it just me or is the Super Duper Mart the best part of Fallout 3? That was a rhetorical question. I know it's not just me. It clearly is the best part of Fallout 3. There's no debating it. It's all downhill from here. The journey...

Fallout 3: Vault 101 to Megaton- Thirsty Partner? Who's the real villain of Fallout 3? I vote for Deputy Weld. Think about it. He spends the whole fracking game standing in front of Megaton saying "Thirsty, partner?" And who is the only person in earshot? That would be Micky- Micky who is dying...

Hey there, hi there, everyone! Those of you who follow the "What Game Am I Playing" thread know that I've been playing Fallout permadeath style. Some of you may recall that I vowed not to start a thread on this. Evidently I lied, because here we are. Why the change of heart? Who knows. Who...
