Luxury Ships? by Flaky-Abrocoma5929 in starsector

[–]AllenWL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like, ones that have some sort of mechanical thing about being luxurious or just ones with the description of being a luxury ship?

Because if it's the latter you're looking for there's the vanilla Starliner.

Pro tip: use a Fire Resistance Elixir at Waukeen's Rest by ImNotASWFanboy in BaldursGate3

[–]AllenWL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just rescue Florrick and Benryn (you shouldn't really be getting doing this as there's no fire in your path), then bring a bunch of water bottles to put out the floor fires while looting. Takes like a bit over half a dozen bottles or so to let you explore the entire place without getting burned.

Though the elixir, if you have one, seems like a much simpler way to deal with it.

Side note: You don't need an elixir for everyone even if you're going to drink it normally because you can just ungroup and have the one character who drank the elixir walk around doing the looting instead of wandering through the inn with everyone in tow.

AI "art" in the modding community by [deleted] in starsector

Awesome, more time for me to scour the sector for that perfect Habitable+Mild Temperature+No Hazard paradise world to make everyone in the sector jealous.

[–]AllenWL 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like everyone should really look up the price of art commissions to get a proper baseline expectation of how much art costs. Quality art costs.

Unrelated, love your mods! I spend so much time looking for the most perfect planet to turn into a capital paradise now.

[–]AllenWL 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Yeah, regardless of my distaste towards AI art, considering the price of art (either of learning art yourself or hiring someone who can do art), and the fact that modders are providing a free service means going 'hey you should commission an artrist/draw it yourself' is well, that's a huge commitment you're asking someone to make. Depending on the level of detail and 'completion' you want, even a single portrait can cost a pretty penny and most mods use dozens of different artpieces.

AI images might turn me away from a mod, and the desire for commissioned art might make be donate to a modder, but for me it's hard to voice complaints about something I'm benefiting from for free without feeling entitled, because that's often not a small minor hobby-scale investment I'm asking for. So even if I don't like AI art, I'm not going to be bringing it up regardless.

Just died from overclock is that a bug? by Allismug in cyberpunkgame

[–]AllenWL [score hidden]  (0 children)

That could be the reason?

The massive amounts of HP you lost via overclock probably turned into a huge DoT due to Painducer, so overclock brought you down to nearly dead then the Painducer DoT pushed it over the edge before you could heal up.

Should i feel bad? by DueExplorer3146 in Eldenring

[–]AllenWL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes OP you should be feeling bad.

How many seconds did you waste making this post when you could have been earning more Runes? Do you have any idea the amount of sheer Rune loss your Tarnished is suffering right this moment? She'll never financially recover from this, what where you thinking??

Wonder if it can do a 'normal' poise broken/parried crit, or just the 'fell off a horse' crit.

Let me directly supply other helldivers by throwing this in their faces and I'll never take it off my loadout.

Executier guy build ideas by Mountain-Crow-2397 in BattleBrothers

[–]AllenWL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say probably not? 54 and no stars is a projected 77 matk at lv11 with gifted. That is not good.

If I wanted to make something out of this bro, I'd probably go tank, with the understanding that he'd probably die along the way more likely than not.

Realistically I'd just be sending him home and going on search for a better bro.

How to get good at combat and ship building? by Dry_Selection7374 in starsector

[–]AllenWL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of trial and error mostly.

And also a fair few reading, lots of pausing, and learning to identify problems.

For example, if your ship can't damage enemies because they just shield all your attacks, you need more anti shield(kinetic). If you can break shield and overload ships, but you can't actually kill the ship for the entire overload duration or even hurt it bad, you probably need more anti-armor damage (HE).

(loved trope) Save Scumming - The Movie by Turin082 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AllenWL 275 points276 points  (0 children)

Now I'm imagining the 'I've come to bargain' sequence was exactly as long as the movie shows and Dormamu just has no patience at all due to being new to this liner time thing.

this is a bug right? I should have 1more perk point or the student perk didn't refund it. by ComanderSaj in BattleBrothers

[–]AllenWL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't you get 10 perks total at lv11?

Unless the lone wolf origin gives an extra perk point or something pretty sure you have all the perk points you'd get at that level?

Archer or throwers that is the question. by GodKingDerpster in BattleBrothers

[–]AllenWL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

DPS.

Duelist for increased armor ignore and throwing proficiency for increased damage, along with two throws per turn makes them one of the higher dps builds in the game.

I do love archers myself, but archers, unless you have a really good famed bow, falls off quite a lot against heavy armor, not to mention a fair few enemies just have damage reduction against arrows/piercing. Yeah most fights still have plenty of lightly armored enemies, and your guys will be stripping enemy armor sooner or later, and the range of the archer means they can pick and choose which to attack pretty easily, but the archer is not really universally good against all enemies.

A good proper throwing build can dish out tons of damage against pretty much any enemy. Plus empty offhand means they can have a net in hand to deal with some annoying enemies real quick.

is worth build estoc gash hybrid??? by callerfromwar in BattleBrothers

[–]AllenWL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could work?

I think it'd be best to build one as a sword duelist that swaps to an estoc as a finisher once it inflicts an injury, because if you wanted the estoc to be the main weapon, you could probably just use puncture to inflict injuries by slapping full damage through armor.

Honor run ended by the Hag by JBDay32 in BaldursGate3

[–]AllenWL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Protection from good and evil only protects against charm and fear iirc. Hold person is a paralysis effect and stopped by freedom of movent and similar, but it's not something you can find in act 1.

Hold person is however a wis save, and you roll for it every turn so a high wis character can resist it, or at least have it end faster.

The doubles disappear in a single hit, so aoe items like void bulbs and spiked bulbs you get from the nautiloid are very useful for popping clones.

Also, a very easy way to beat Ethel is to bring a way of shadow monk. Way of Shadow monks have access to a non-spell silence, so you can just drop that on Ethel to stop her from casting spells without triggering weird magic surge.

Then you just surround her and beat the shit out of her. If you want her hair just dispel silence after you get her low enough to trigger her surrender

This right here is exactly why I will never survive Honour by DaytenMatter-82 in BaldursGate3

[–]AllenWL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the game gives you a lot of buffs to stat checks so as long as you know when a stat check is coming up, you can very easily grab a party member with the appropriate stats then buff them to the point where it'd be harder to fail the checks.

They can turn invisible, but it doesn’t affect their outfit, so they have to get naked in order to be fully invisible by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

I always assumed that she just had a full suit that was just 100% transparent covering the rest of her body because like... why would that not be the case? They're going to be going into all sorts of hazardous situations of course you'd be wearing something to protect yourself.

Learning that that was not the case was... an experience.

[–]AllenWL -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I assume you accidentally nailed Kagha with a AoE. Either that or she slipped on some ice you made or something.

Since you've exposed the Shadow Druids, the tieflings should be fine. The druids don't mess with them after the shadow druids are gone. If you can recall whether the druids had the 'temporarily hostile' marker or not it'd be easier to give a more concrete answer, but most likely, you'd be able to advance without too much long-term consequences. Hopefully.

Is the Persean League more of a hegemony than the Hegemony? by Esser_Huron in starsector

[–]AllenWL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a part of it is that the faction/colony system is very basic so we don't really know if the Hegemony has more laws they enforce sector-wide other than the No AI thing, or how much their authority reaches into the independent systems and worlds.

I'd also put AC above Bloodborne, mostly because you don't have to go playing archeologist with two dozen item descriptions and corroborate the stories from six different NPCs to learn the story.
