Ale'san, Elven Mage/Thief: Early Adventures It saddens me to say that I did not record Ale'san's earliest of early adventures. I did not screenshot the ceremonial punking of the first ogrillion. Nor did I commemorate the assuaging of Marl's grief with a barstool selfie. You, dear reader, will...

Wait. Is the ogre the stabber or the stabbee in this scenario? We can do it either way. Here's an ogre stabber for ya.

Awesome, Borco!

Ale'san, Elven Mage/Thief Hey there, hi there, everyone! Long time no see! I've been noodling around with other games of late, but that oh-so familiar urge to play BG has returned, so here I am. With apologies to Aurora, my abandoned beastmaster, and Anne Jansen, my I/T waiting in the wings...

Hey, Borco! I'm about to start a run. Is Sorsha still active? It would be cool if we could run together!

Borco, Borco, Borco! I'd been taking a break. I just noticed this. So happy to see you posting! I've always loved Sorsha and I'm thrilled to see her here! (I'm about to fire up an M/T, so hopefully you're game to continue/resume posting. It'd be fun if we could get a couple runs going!)

I just rolled a new BG character, Ale'san, elven mage/thief. She's off to an auspicious start, with a successful anti-chickenator. I don't expect to post on Ale'san, at least not at first. I have some relearning to do before I'll be ready for a proper run. That said, I'm excited about the...

Still playing Mass Effect no reload style. My engineer, Arvada Shepard, met the same fate as her predecessor: killed by a reaper beam on Rannoch. Aside from the Rannoch mini-game, I have the trilogy down now, at least on Veteran. Since my engineer seemed capable on higher difficulty settings...

Happy new year, everyone! I'm still playing Mass Effect. I almost -almost- completed my first Mass Effect Trilogy no reload recently. My adept, Alex, older sister to Jack, made it to Rannoch before succumbing to a reaper beam. Aside from that she was reload free. That was my first success in ME...

I’m still playing Mass Effect no reload style. After losing my Infiltrator, Alora, to sniper fire, and my Sentinel, Alicia, to a tragic Mako accident, I’ve finally found a ME character that I truly like: Alice Shepard, Shock Trooper, with Throw as a special talent. She’s super-solid, and she’s...

Lest we forget, the Mako saved the galaxy. The Ilos mission would have been a bust without it. There should be a statue of the Mako in the Citadel, like the Krogan one. The council species should know who -and what- they owe their lives to. EDIT: A statue in the Citadel makes sense to me...

Do you know the Bentley advertisement that people parody all the time? I'd love to see a version with Tali and the Mako.

I still haven't tried BG3. I figured I'd wait a few months, let the early patches settle in. The August release seemed tailored to get any kinks worked out by Christmas. Are all systems go now? Is it a good time for a patient player to buy? NW: And to be clear, I didn't have any reason to...

The Cain is my first choice for style points on shore leave. There's nothing quite like rolling up to a bar with a nuke launcher on your back. That said, the Cain has some serious usability issues in combat. It's basically a one shot weapon with a long charge cycle. It leaves you visible, out...

Alora Shepard is ready to go, on Hardcore. She’s a colonist who grew up in low G, which is why she’s so tall and lanky. It’s weird for her, too, although she doesn’t understand why. She’s an Infiltrator, with specialization in shotguns. She’s locked and loaded, ready to teach these Reapers how...

I haven't tried the higher difficulty settings yet. I've been playing on Veteran. My tendency is to angle for the highest difficulty setting that isn't gimmicky. So, in Baldur's Gate EE, for example, that means Insane sans double damage, rather than LoB. In the Mass Effect world I'm thinking...

Putting OP weapons in DLC wasn't BioWare's finest hour. I think the thing to do is skip those. The Typhoon is a pass for me. The Supressor, too, once the mission it was designed for is finished. What else is problematic?

Not to worry. I'm never touching Space Pinto again. When I overheard the Mako vs Hammerhead debate in the cargo hold, I just shook my head. Mako for days. Hammerhead anywhere is the real suicide mission. (Speaking of the Mako, if we at TavernRPG ever find ourselves in a soap box derby, we...

Good to hear from you, Antimatter :) No reloading the Mass Effect trilogy may be tricky. I'm not sure. I'm still a noob, so I can't say. The core mechanics seem tractable, but there are a lot of quirky, timer related encounters, not to mention the chase scenes. I've done 1. That's...

Hey there, hi there, everyone! Good to see you again. I hope everyone is well. I ended up spending more time with Street Fighter 6 than expected. About a month ago I reached the Diamond level with my preferred character, Lily. I also founded a little Subreddit for the character...
