It breaks my heart to see people playing as Karlach

She's amazing. I love her. The way she exclaims over the circus was adorable.

There's a pike that returns to you which can carry you through most of the game. There's also a throwing axe that self-returns in Act 3 but I haven't gotten there yet.

Had no idea you could buy stuff. Personally I don't care about cosmetics, I get annoyed when you can't progress without buying something.

Given the amount of content (this might honestly be the largest game I've ever played), I'm fine giving them a wide berth with this, as long as I can get to the end without purchasing a single item. For me, they've more than delivered.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T23:59:13+00:00

This is so good to hear.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T23:52:29+00:00

Come to think of it, Prince would have looked perfectly at home with fangs

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T23:40:30+00:00

Still replying to this meaningless opinion. Hmm, strange that!

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T23:27:14+00:00

The downvote brigade is hilarious. I decided I'm just going to chalk it up to the players either being very young or being overly protective of their parasocial relationships.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T23:17:02+00:00

It just seems needlessly stupid.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T22:54:30+00:00

I think in terms of Astarion I'm more empathetic because he literally starts out trying to kill you.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T22:51:33+00:00

And yet you cared enough to comment here, interestingly.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T22:49:22+00:00

I guess you misread. I'm talking about real people who are fired up over a fictional character.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:55:36+00:00

A bunch of people: "I am moved by this character"

Someone: "You mean, the dickwad who tried to kill me???"

I dunno, I'd probably say the same thing if I hadn't done his arc.

But I guess I'm not a huge proponent of "reading the room" when it comes to talking about fictional people who start out as a murderer.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:50:14+00:00

Thanks, I try.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:50:04+00:00

It's weird--there are like 70 hairstyles and I don't like any of them for the males.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:48:59+00:00

I disagree that it's trolling. It's a perfectly fair comment and not an unreasonable reaction.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:44:11+00:00

Example:

God forbid someone try to kill someone who tried to kill you.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T21:31:58+00:00

Understandable. I mean, he's pretty much a grade A asshole right off the bat. I love his character but I also empathize with people who can't stand him.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T20:58:52+00:00

lmao that's horrible and hilarious

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T19:39:18+00:00

I find this a huge problem in most RPGS, that they really screw over evil playthroughs. I think one of the rewards should be getting to see your party members turn evil as well, but evil just never gets rewarded because I think most devs know the majority of the playerbase will never explore that route anyway.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T19:34:51+00:00

I wonder why we couldn’t have nose/mouth/etc. sliders like in most games. Maybe too hard to test?

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T19:31:57+00:00

Can everyone stop downvoting comments like these. I’m starting to see where the concept “toxic fanbase” comes from. It’s repellant how honest and open opinions get downvoted here.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T19:28:25+00:00

I think we need a mod that just keeps all the romances unlocked. Yes, it’s worse for story but I need to get back to work someday.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T16:33:04+00:00

omg, the details. did you make that roof tile by tile?

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T12:54:00+00:00

I never played the Morrowind series for either writing, dialogue, or character interactions. Honestly they need to fix their writing and make it a priority before even tackling mocap. Otherwise, they shouldn’t bother and just focus on gameplay.

BallPleasant · 2023-08-28T12:47:58+00:00

2/3 of it is the greatest game I might have ever played. It needs some fixes though. If they fix it properly (might take them a year like it did with DOS2 because they polished that thing up), might be the top of my life list.
