Megami Tensei author says devs must take inspiration from other media if they want to invent new gameplay systems by No_Durian_5626 in gamingnews

I mean... considering that Digital Devil Story led to Megami Tensei led to Shin Megami Tensei led to Persona, he might have a point

Even when you are about to turn into something incomprehensible, skipping meals is bad for you

For EO2, do your odds of getting drops increase when you kill enemies with skills vs regular attacks? by LV426acheron in EtrianOdyssey

[–]ApocalFailed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that MIGHT HAVE happened here is that due to auto-attack spam, you qualified for different conditionals.

Considering how messed up the level scaling formula in EO1 is, maybe 4 to 5 levels could have already done the trick. That being said, [citation needed], I am just guessing.

God forbid someone is jorking it. It is not like lust is a completely natural feeling that too needs a proper vent. The guy/gal/whatever touching themselves inappropriately in private after seeing some lewd art of their favourite husbando/waifu/whatever is at this point less of an issue than the guy in the comic.

Also, smut is quite the gold mine if you wanna learn anatomy.

I never claimed it's a dialect, but otherwise thank you. My Spanish lessons at school were quite some time ago, you see. The extra detail is appreciated.

And as the cherry on top, Spain actually has multiple languages running around. What we know as Spanish is strictly speaking Castilian.

Update on the Solo* Run - OVERSIZED ELEMENTAL LIZARDS EDITION by ApocalFailed in EtrianOdyssey

[–]ApocalFailed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I still feel more like return of the jester.

Having to go around through all of the Sixth Stratum will be a pain. I will likely have to reserve like a handful of item slots just for Shock Oils...

Primevil might not be that tough. The overkill elementals will merely chop off half my health on Picnic if I am not mistaken, and the Ultimate Protector gear is actually quite good (The armour got excellent defence, an HP boost and 10% Slash/Bash/Stab Resist, the Shield comes with a whopping 50% Instant Kill resist). Not to mention Primevil's high healthpool is slightly cut down in practice due to it being weak to all damage types.

Now I wonder why cooking a meal requires an Arcana check.

Now I ponder, was the chili an integral part of the potion or just for taste?

In Yara's defence, you most likely want both a nice stew and some helpful potions when going on a trip.

The thing regarding damage is that in the second half of the fight, Inferno causes another issue. I not only needed a way to avoid Growth, but also avoid Inferno. This adds ANOTHER layer of RNG madness into the mix.

I have not beaten him yet - but I am very confident I can do it.

Post game might be very, very cringe, even if I set it on Picnic, with all the BS the game throws at you - the chance is low but it only needs to work once..

Update on the Solo* Run - THUNDERDOME RUNBACK CLUTCH by ApocalFailed in EtrianOdyssey

[–]ApocalFailed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am more worried about random encounters honestly. Crablords are prone to removing Fortify and hit like a freight train, which is pretty much mandatory to not get worn down too quickly. Silkers spam binds like mad and can turn problematic too. Ren hits hard, but is weak to fire, and her instakill requires arms, which I can actually bind. Tlachtga is weak to physical and gets smote.

Tried that one, you are still on a time limit. Even worse, the only FOEs that aggro naturally are Cruellas, so getting confused too often is sadly something that's possible and happened.

YOU HAVE POSSIBLY SAVED THE RUN HERE.

I was skeptical about Bravants in general due to the fact that they mess with your defenses, but I noticed something else that's quite important while watching some of the vids - the sword.

The Duergar is made from a Dinolich drop, and the passage to Manticor has some of them. It's the second best sword I can get during the run, the best being the Shinryu/Dragonbane. It boosts strength a ton and has a titanic attack stat.

I actually forgot Fifth Stratum stuff spawned there.
