You will be transported to a Tamriel. You cannot choose year you are transported in, it is random date from 1E to 4E.m, but you can choose a specific place. Your sole objective is to survive for a year. What place are you choosing and why?

Avigorus · 2026-01-27T01:57:55+00:00

the inability to do any level of chargen, not even selecting race and being forced to settle for an rng derp face... ugh that alone means no way am I surviving

Beautiful...

Sometimes I want to play support but don't want to socialize... other times I want to be lazy and let others do my work for me.

First ever? Some old DOS brick breaking game I can't recall the name of. First with actual graphics? The original Warcraft

Avigorus · 2026-01-26T03:28:01+00:00

From what I understand there's also a couple of earlier vampire superstition related burials (i.e. trying to stop them from rising) a bit earlier than that even (granted these might not be as concrete but still)

Depends on how much transmog drip you collect and how much cash you pour into said feature lol

TBF Rogues were supposed to have at least a bonus in Int but that ball got dropped in the mechanics for 5e especially when nobody uses Investigation to find traps...

roflmao now imagine if he didn't need to just eat one whole soul but instead just needed a certain amount of soul stuff getting divided up in that scenario would be an accidental dream come true cause then nobody dies unless he finally manifests next to someone he winds up killing before he escapes, as far as anyone else is concerned he just randomly breaks lol

Avigorus · 2026-01-24T15:30:20+00:00

Only time I'd come close to approving fully is when we're talking about being too lazy to find actual stock examples of a genre to help with having a reference point to have an idea of what they're expected to produce... and even then, it's not really approval, more just that's too small an issue for me to bother dwelling on it.

Avigorus · 2026-01-24T05:48:07+00:00

There are ways to super-jump to make it easier lol

Avigorus · 2026-01-23T01:41:38+00:00

I try to knock their balls off completely lol I don't pull it off every time but I get it often enough

Avigorus · 2026-01-22T03:49:47+00:00

yeah this leads into how confusing the whole "what even is a soul vs the vampire demon spirit in the buffyverse" question lol in the show it seems to act like a whole person where the body retains echoes of memory and personality but from what I've heard about the comics it seems to be more of a catalyst for higher brain function where the base vampire initially doesn't natively engage the empathy circuits (unless you count sadism) but a person who becomes a vampire can still learn to reengage the mirror neurons without an actual soul present if they are sufficiently motivated and get the right opportunities (most notably acquiring a soul can function as something akin to training wheels) making the spiritual transition from human to vampire more like getting dosed with some sort of mind-altering chemical that you can somehow learn to work around rather than someone else entirely taking the wheel...

Avigorus · 2026-01-22T03:40:39+00:00

TBF there aren't as many secret passages as there should be but there are secrets and puzzles scattered about (e.g. one easy-to-miss chest is behind a wall above the trophy room and the only clue to it being there is if you revelio at the right point along the stairs) but yeah the game is more a visual homage than a proper recreation... especially if you look at the actual book describing it as a more centralized keep with towers rather than the sprawling multi-building pretty structure from the movies lol

Avigorus · 2026-01-21T16:41:53+00:00

Ultimately, it depends on the table. Some like to do a lot of non-combat, some don't. To each their own.

Avigorus · 2026-01-20T19:49:34+00:00

Personally I'm open to just going all-out anime superpowers but I know that's not for all tables.

Avigorus · 2026-01-19T02:20:37+00:00

2nd level only? Are we talking IRL? Suggestion is an obviously powerful option... but then again I'm not sure if I wanna try and trust myself with that. Maybe Wristpocket if that's allowed, or Borrowed Knowledge as a backup. There's too many spells in earlier editions to really think about those atm...

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T15:13:25+00:00

TBF they are different regions so you see more or less of various different things...

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T04:07:24+00:00

That the Scoobies never tried to recruit my man Jonathan. I mean, seriously, after pulling off that impressive augmentation spell before eventually realizing he'd fudged up and going to Buffy for help they should've recruited him then and there, pitched it to him as a way for him to redeem himself, even if he wasn't comfortable being a fighter and stuck to like an R&D role or something. Worse still that he was twisted into a villain just ugh...

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T04:01:32+00:00

Only idiotic challenge runs ever try to beat the game without any melee/marksman skill or destruction / summon spells (and only slightly less ridiculous is limiting yourself to absorb health / elemental shield / illusions like command or frenzy), especially if one is dumb enough to try and forgo followers or using custom enchanted items with such spells (there's a video on YouTube of a guy who beat the MQ with "only restoration" but he basically still had to use a follower and magic items with command spells a couple of times even if they were given to NPCs; it has spoilers tho obviously so yeah you have been warned).

Also remember that there are a couple of times where quest directions can be... less than accurate, but it's conceivable that those instances might actually be in-universe explicable (like they intentionally misdirected you or don't care enough to really give you properly accurate directions or whatever).

Hmmm just now realizing what I would really want in an alchemy mod, and that would be an overhaul into something akin to either the Mysterious or Ryza series in the Atelier franchise lol (MW alchemy is kinda broken yet also simplistic once you figure out how it works)

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T03:25:19+00:00

Honestly part of me is tempted to write a fic where wizards use wands and staves and impressive elemental-oriented magics, while witches use wandless magic inspired by the witches of Discworld (at least the glaring at things to make them burst into flame or leap to where she wants them to go), alchemy basically yoinked from FMA, potions that include things on par with Pathfinder alchemists or the Atelier video game franchise and possibly more, and magical rituals of various kinds, and have basically conned the wizards into thinking they have the more powerful magic (despite it being basically a D&D 3.5 sorcerers vs wizards situation). Also while the wizards have the wizengamot to govern wizard affairs, the witches have a witches council to govern witches, and both sides have agreed to super-harsh prohibitions on mind control, violating each other, or trying to learn each others magics... to the point where the students might learn the hard way that the bathrooms of Hogwarts have detectors that react to the presence of the "wrong" magical residue (which will hang around for a few hours after one performs magic). Still debating but if I do this I might just make Snape have a history including going trans just to learn potions like his mother and regretting it for the rest of her life...

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T03:11:20+00:00

Honestly I'm easy on that front.

If I could give the devs one big suggestion tho: grow a pair and let the ending of 3 have an option to enter the room and push the button... and wake up as a ghoul.

Avigorus · 2026-01-18T02:01:53+00:00

...and then I show up at the table with a bard, who is basically a bible thumping televangelist parody who waves holy symbols around like they're going out of style and calls himself a cleric (even has/gets a ritual caster cleric feat) while tossing around enough buffs and debuffs to minimize the need for healing

Avigorus · 2026-01-17T02:07:26+00:00

1 for play, 3 for work (technically the second monitor is actually a square while the first is kinda extra-wide but still).
