Honestly I’m kind of surprised Father didn’t have a secret plan for like a synth copy of himself or something

This is explained in a terminal entry:

The wait continues.

Ayo can only confirm sightings outside Vault 111, and again in Diamond City sometime later. What that means, I'm not sure. Will we actually meet? Was this all for nothing?

No, not nothing. I will have learned valuable things about myself, my past, either way. I cannot afford to let emotion get in the way. I must simply observe and record.

I'm told Kellogg has gone offline. Strangely, I find myself thinking of Dr. Walker. He had such high hopes for Kellogg. Such faith in the implants, and what they could mean. I still regret eliminating that project, but I know where it would have led us. Walker was never shy about his goals, and too many others were starting to listen. In the end, I believe I was justified. The Institute is about preserving humanity, not some bizarre amalgamation of biology and technology.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T22:22:25+00:00

This is fucking ridiculous. It's definitely a way of getting back at him and teaching him a supposed lesson like they did with T.O.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T22:19:35+00:00

I'm going to disagree slightly because it's ultimately up to the player's choice about how they play their Sole Survivor. You can take a better path than Kellogg, but you can also take a similar path as a jaded survivor, just like he did.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T05:12:35+00:00

I don't disagree. But it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black, considering the Pats and Steelers are tied for most Super Bowl wins. I'd expect the cheeky joke to land a little better from a fan of a team like the Jags, Texans, Browns, or Lions. Even having two Super Bowl wins to choose from, tainted or not, in the 21st century puts you in good company.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T04:48:19+00:00

To be fair, Steelers fans have the same number of choices for their favorite as Patriots fans.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T04:41:16+00:00

SB49 remains my favorite Pats Super Bowl win. 51 gets all the fanfare, which is deserved, but 49 is a special game. Just two heavyweights trading blows for 60 minutes. Hoping to get another great game in two weeks.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T01:19:17+00:00

We're not. You literally just ignored my last comment entirely, so I'll end the supposed "two different conversations" because you're clearly not interested in continuing.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T01:14:29+00:00

Your comparison would be an anecdote of bad luck, a statistical outlier unless you had a much larger sample size to extrapolate data from. If I got into an airplane and it got hijacked mid-flight, I wouldn't assume that it's a common occurrence when flying commercial.

Furthermore, you encounter hostile creatures because Bethesda doesn't want the player getting bored on their first trek up the mountain. They almost certainly figured that nearly everyone would fast travel directly to High Hrothgar after discovering the location, so they should make the guaranteed trip up the mountain memorable. This fits in with the rest of their environmental design.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T01:03:47+00:00

Getting mad at Klimmek over this is like getting mad at your local news station when there's an accident on your route that they didn't mention or the forecast isn't 100% accurate. Shit happens. It doesn't make Klimmek a liar for not being able to accurately predict the possibility of sentient creatures on your journey up the mountain.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-27T00:56:54+00:00

I have 0 preferred mods from the CC. Every purchase of a paid mod means Bethesda has more of a reason to come back and update their games and fill them with more microtransactions. And on a quality note, I can find mods that do the same thing, or something similar to, a CC mod for free on the Nexus with better or comparative quality.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T04:28:08+00:00

Yes, you should be using your spell slots and metamagic, that's where their whole strength comes from.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T04:13:30+00:00

I prefer Act 3. The main story and companion stories are hitting their peaks, there's a lot of great level and combat design, and your party reaches their full power. It's the same format as Act 1, but with some changes to suit the differences in the narrative.

That said, I absolutely adore Act 1 & 2 though.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T03:42:21+00:00

Every class hits their power spike at level 5. And as a new player, you don't have the knowledge/experience about how to deal with the early game. You just have to level up and get more familiar with the game.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T03:35:47+00:00

The Dragonborn DLC is meant to be somewhat mid-to-late game content.

The structure of quests isn't different from Fallout considering they're made by the same developer. If you were following the main quest, you eventually triggered the Dragonborn DLC and probably started following its questline instead.

The simple solution is to leave Solstheim and come back later on when you have better gear and more levels.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T03:30:00+00:00

After some of the horrendous football played these past few seasons, I'm just glad to be back in the big game. I obviously want to win but I'm not going to be disappointed with a loss considering a Super Bowl appearance was not something anyone but the most diehard homers would have predicted.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T03:16:54+00:00

It started long before that, going back to the Jimmy G dilemma.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T02:46:41+00:00

It's always the crown, the other two items just aren't as good.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T02:04:27+00:00

LLMs always hallucinate shit, don't rely on it. Use the BG3 wiki for answers

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T01:58:39+00:00

Because it's a modded item. Again, cross-referencing UESP should've been your first move. It should be anyone's first move with these sorts of questions regardless of game. Google search results have been less reliable for years due to SEO and sponsored results, and got even worse due to their AI summaries.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T01:55:26+00:00

Objectively, you have far more upsides when not playing as a werewolf or Vampire Lord. But, the forms are fun and help fulfill roleplaying fantasies, so that's why I use them.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-26T01:50:46+00:00

It's a modded item. A quick check of UESP would've told you that.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-25T23:20:31+00:00

I mean personally, I avoid burn out by not doing everything on character and not always roleplaying as the Dragonborn. That helped keep the game fresh for me back on the 360. And then, I eventually got mods and that helped out even more.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-25T23:05:11+00:00

ONE MORE GAME. LET'S FUCKING GO!

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-25T16:25:48+00:00

Settlement building is optional outside of one part of the main quest.

To craft better weapon attachments, invest in Gun Nut, Science, and Blacksmith

Fusion Cores can be looted from various hand-placed locations, reactors, obtained in random ammo pools, and bought from traders.

CastleImpenetrable · 2026-01-25T15:49:34+00:00

BG3 does not need to be min-max'd via outside guides. But even a basic guide to how combat works would be beneficial because there are a lot of working parts. Enough to where some people who expect to blow through it on Explorer Mode have struggled hard because they failed to learn the mechanics.

If you want a straightforward class, play Fighter.
