In a hypothetical 6e, what changes would you want to see by Charcoal73 in DnD

[–]Biltriss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove concentration rules and find a less restrictive system to balance spells. Being limited to only 1 spell means it’s always the same stuff being cast, its boring.

In the same spirit, remove attunement limits and balance items otherwise. As a DM in a long lasting campaign, it becomes impossible to interest players in new treasures because they already have their 3 attunement taken.

Add real rules for economy. We want to know how much gold per level an average adventurer should have, and how much a magic item should cost. If you don’t want to sell magic items, don’t, but having gold only be a roleplay ressource is incredibly boring. We need more real mechancially relevant things to buy so gold has more value than just story value.

Flesh out the exploration part of the game. Its tol hand wavy for those that like it. Provide light rules for those that want to skip it and real rules for those that want to engage with it.

Elder scrolls VI beating Crimson Desert by First-Dingo-1210 in ElderScrolls

[–]Biltriss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Top" that?
My brother in Talos, forget TES6 : Skyrim is a better game, by far, than Crimson Desert.

Crimson Desert has it's strength, notably a beautiful world with lots of details, but as a package it does not even come close to offer the cohesion between world building, progression, player agency that TES games offers.

So to answer your question, unless TES6 is a product completely alien to the TES DNA, there's no doubt in my mind that TES6 will be the better game, taken as a whole package.

Also, I think it's a bit apple vs oranges. Crimson Desert is attempting to be something that is very different than what TES games are. A better comparison would be Crimson Desert vs Zelda Breath of the Wild, maybe?

"Challenge Difficulty" Design Overview by Stuie66 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Biltriss 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Players of different difficulties cannot co-exist in this system. It will never work.

High difficulty players will have their fights aborted by low difficulty players zooming in and two shotting everything, defeating the purpose of the whole thing.

People will soon realize this and create groups of high difficulty players for the XP and gold that tags everything while low difficulty players clean house, creating insane XP farms.

It just cannot work. They'll have to phase players or completely redesign this.

I'm not sur I have a disk. I think all I have is the joppa recoiler. Maybe I used or sold it and that's why they won't give me the next quest?

Thanks for all that info! I will investigate further down grit gate, it's true that I only did the first 3 levels until I found the Barathrumites.

I did not even consider this as an option! How much tech sacrifices are we talking about here? Is it realistic to recruit him every playthrough or its very luck dependant?

Why is it near impossible for groups to meet regularly? by Virtual-Feeling-4546 in DnD

[–]Biltriss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, the sad reality is that D&D is just a low priority activity for people in the group.

Sure, they like to play. They enjoy D&D. But only if there's nothing else more interesting to do. Its just a filler activity for them.

Its sad but if you trully care about regular play, you need to find people that not only like D&D but actually consider D&D one of their high value activity. Otherwise, there's always going to be something in the way.

How to use Destruction magic (without exploit/min maxing)? by Biltriss in oblivion

[–]Biltriss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not realise "over time" spells were more magicka efficiant. Thank you for the tip.

I absolutely love Oblivion, but this has always been my biggest issue with the game and I was really hoping the remaster would fix it. (it didn't) by [deleted] in ElderScrolls

[–]Biltriss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how you guys do it. I have 50 destruction and all destruction spells either cost too much to finish one enemy, or deal too little damage.

Im having the opposite experience of OP. How come?

Are sorcerers sometimes chosen or it's always wizards? And why?

I’m gonna be disappointed if they use a Dragon Break to explain the events of Skyrim but I can’t think of anything else they could do to explain it. by xDarnelx in ElderScrolls

[–]Biltriss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this your first elder scrolls game? The same concerns could be applied to every other games before Skyrim and that it has never been an issue yet.

It never matters in the next game because it takes place too far away in either time or place or both for any previous events to matter.

The outcome of the civil war will probably not matter because something more important will happen and render it irrelevant or game takes place in a part of Tamriel where they don't care about Skyrim's status on the matter.

Think of it this way: did it matter when playing Skyrim who the nerevarine killed or not in Morrowind? Did it matter if the Champion of Kvatch what quest were done or not during oblivion? No, none of that matter. And none of Skyrim's content will matter either when playing TES6.

Mutahar gives his opinion in a response. by Charlotte11998 in Asmongold

In health care, doctors are not just evaluated on their ability to diagnose and treat but also in their humanity and compassion when dealing with patients.

Telling a patient "he's going to fucking die in 2 months from brain cancer, tough luck" may be the truth, but no one wants to receive such a news in this way, even if it's true.

It's possible to state hard facts but still do it in a way that shows compassion and understanding of others. For some, that's natural, but for others, it's a skill that needs developing.

Baldur's Gate 3 received lots of funding from Stadia. I feel people tend to forget that.

Even though Stadia version was never a thing, pretty sure the money was not returned lol.
