  1. Wondering if a thief could be a follower of Tyr, Helm, or Tempus

    Helm is a hard no for me. Tempus may tolerate a thief in the same way he tolerates The Red Knight, strategy is part of warfare and all, but I do think that sort of character would be better served as a Red Knight disciple rather than Tempus proper. But hey, it could work. Tyr is borderline for...
  2. What game are you currently playing?

    I wanted to actually beat Wizardry 8 this time but i'm tired of the Monastary. So I made a simple mod that allows you to start either of the Wizardry 7-exclusive locations. It also has an option to let you import a random number of Wizardry 7 items according to the games existing internal rules...
  3. Tired of all the killing...How about you?

    I do have more of a taste in life sim aspects now that I am a bit older. I enjoy a bit of Rune Factory because it has good life sim, farming, and combat elements, all of which I enjoy (but it explictly mentions that nobody dies during combat; they get sent back into the forest) I definitely...
  4. BG3 Honour Mode: strategy & tactics (many spoilers)

    I don't play honor mode or really much BG3 at all. Never even beaten it. But i'm curious about the viability of Lucky abuse on warriors. This was something I always did. Given that rests are more or less unlimited except by your resources, as far as I can tell, you can essentially use rests to...
  5. Heroes of Might and Magic games

    I will occasionally make runs through some of the campaign maps of HOMM3. I prefer the creature specialist heroes for the RPG flavor; you get one unit who becomes very strong in their hands if you level the hero up and invest in a big army of that unit. I quite like the monster hero who has...
  6. What game are you currently playing?

    I am currently playing an outstanding RPG called Look Outside. It deserves it's overwhelmingly positive rating. I am not usually a big fan of the "cosmic horror/eldritch" genre, as popular as it is, but this one is done incredibly well. The atmosphere, lore, and visuals (grotesque as they are)...
  7. What game are you currently playing?

    Reading through the ADnD 2nd edition Monster Manual as a kid really made me wish for a purely aquatic campaign of some sort. They had such variety, each with a detailed "Ecology" section. Even in terms of towns and settlements, you have some variety. Storm Giants in lone castles at the bottom of...
  8. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    True! I was never in it for the handheld bit; I was actually looking for the cheapest possible hardware to run my games and this was the correct solution before the price increase.
  9. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    I would recommend a bluetooth mouse, bluetooth keyboard, and a 20$ steam dock with HDMI output so you can connect it to your TV. Then you can use it as a normal gaming PC, play games in much higher resolution on your TV screen, and never worry about the handheld aspect of it again. That's what...

    Woah.
  11. Industry News / Upcoming Games

    As far as i'm concerned if a law is clearly unjust it deserves no respect in the first place. Increasingly how I feel about flock cameras, but that's neither here nor there. We are definitely in an era of growing consumer rights awareness; and we should be, since the consumer is getting abused...
  12. Industry News / Upcoming Games

    I've heard nothing but good things about Half-Life. But Asgard's Wrath 2 is my most played game, truly well-done open world rpg, and excellent roguelike infinite dungeon mechanic.
  13. Industry News / Upcoming Games

    "Accounts Receivable Revolution" got a few genuine laughs out of me You might be amused to know that "Job Simulator" has been one of the most popular VR games since its inception. I think this goes to show how badly VR markets its games, but whatever.
  14. If you could sit down with James Ohlen to discuss his work on the original Baldur's Gate games, what would you want to ask him?

    I would ask him if he chooses Shadowhart or Lae'zel as his lover in BG3? Maybe Gale or the Bear instead?
  15. So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    I am tempted to work on this question for fun when I have time this week. I am thinking I will load up every IWD portrait into the "use image as reference" function, and try my hardest to accurately describe the art style in a way it will understand. Then try to generate a whole series of...
  16. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    You are still in control of your files under SteamOS, i've been able to mod and install everything from homebrew VR software to mods for every which game. It's just the file structure is a little clunky. But I was always Windows before I owned a Steam Deck. Now, i'm going to always avoid trying...
  17. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    All the original games work on Steam Deck. Modding them is another matter. I'm 99% sure it is just a matter of finding the right compatdata folder (to put your mods in) and Proton set up (to get the mod manager running) but I haven't tried it.
  18. So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    To be fair, the image to the right is basically a perfect replica of the standard halberd from NWN2.
  19. Thinking of playing a goblin in BG

    I think some of the free ones are actually quite good. Grok is good for minor programming tasks but not images, and Google's free AI is excellent at images but kind of sucks at everything else. This was the first result I got asking for a goblin warrior in a Baldurs Gate 1 or 2 art style. I...
  20. Thinking of playing a goblin in BG

    No, that was just me making a silly joke. It's clearly an error of some sort. When you have some sort of mod error, you get dialogue bits in all sorts of random places.
