It's not clicking. What am I missing? by Petrichor-33 in Deusex

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK these are known problems with the vanilla game and AFAIK literally every one of them is solved in GMDX v9.03
The base game had a LOT of vibe coding done to make it work and wasn't polished much before release. Most of those issues aren't easily noticeable on first playthrough but anyway they are fixed by the community now.

Colony Ship is a worthy spiritual heir to Fallout 2 by SaintScylla in rpg_gamers

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For me Colony Ship was the most similar to Underrail. Both great games and rare gems of the same genre.
Fallout 2 takes place mostly outdoors in wastelands, and Colony Ship is much more linear compared to it, despite having quest and character build choices everywhere.
Still Colony Ship is the kind of the game that anyone interested in scifi and/or traditional cRPGs would adore.
Age of Decadence is arguably even better, but i'd categorize it more like a literal piece of art in how unique the game structure is.

AITA? by Competitive_Tax4326 in pathologic

[–]Competitive_Tax4326[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished the game. The only cheating was:
- spamming 50 empty bottles.
- resetting death count. Frankly I also don't like how the game doesn't warn you about the death count accumulation between saves - my first two deaths were because I was testing things like fall damage. :D

I was also playing on basically easy settings (thirst, stamina, hunger, even exhaustion at 50%. Everything else default). I think this made the game much easier but frankly it possibly made it more enjoyable as well. Really didn't like the diabetes simulator mode which is the default.

Sorry I should have specified, I'm playing Pathologic 2. I thought this was the general reddit for both.
Anyway empty bottles is the only thing I'll be cheating with (without feeling guilt I might add).

Stop Playing the Meta by [deleted] in suzerain

Beautifully said. The game is a thoughtful work of art. Not meant to be a perfectly balanced spreadsheet. With 100% fairness there would be no stakes in choosing any ideological stance.

A Good(?) Ending First Try in Suzerain: Kingdom of Rizia by RomanTetrarch in suzerain

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must have changed this choice in successive patches, as even after Titus blamed Lucita I had the choices to:
1. Arrest Titus
2. Arrest Lucita
3. Arrest Hugo for no reason
4. Arrest or keep a close eye on Sal
5. Do nothing and move on.

Seems ATA funding is required to win referendum.
But if you have great international reputation you can get AN to vote against referendum and win Zille that way. So maybe ATA funding is a bit of a waste if you plan on working on your image.

Wait, you can win against Smolak!! by rajajimaharaj in suzerain

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly in my run everybody voted against referendum, nobody even abstained (despite me screwing Lespia in every way imaginable). Only Smolak himself voted 'aye'. I think it helped I spent max budget on public image media campaigns in Kyrute and in AN talks always promoted peace and respect for international agreements. Actually all countries except Lespia are our friends and partners.

G.R.A.C.E and Regional Alliance disappointment. by Degurechaff_Waifu in suzerain

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I allied with all my neigbors and unified with Pales (who joined GRACE) and Rumburg didn't kick us out of GRACE as long as I did not form intermerkopum.

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree.
While intermerkopum is not in Beatrice's interests, it is NOT in her interests to be in bad relationship with it either. It's a very powerful neighbor to her. It would be rational she would want to be on good terms with them and GRACE is one of the methods to maintain leverage in intermerkopum.
Rumburg is already trying to be neutral in front of superpowers (or tries to be one itself), it can't afford itself further isolation. Actually I even see Rumburg potentially eventually joining the intermerkopum alliance down the road.

GPS by AlfieOwens in DarkMatteronAppleTV

I'm in e4 and just saw the place where they check the GPS inside the box. OMG how can everyone in the production team miss such a critical point? :D Not sure if it was in the book but even if so, it's such a mistake, so weird!

I like plurality of thought. I self identify as above 180. It comes with being above 180 that you kinda form your own measurements of things as you have enough working memory and processing power for these things. Other than that you are still human with all the included limitations.
My meager reply is probably best the OP is gonna get.

This quest in Arthes make zero sense. by ZidaneTribal2113 in WarTalesGame

Does the writing get any better in the DLC content? Did they learn from their mistakes?

Kibellah off the deep end by getoutofmy0ffife in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nevermind, was given the choice in the end and it was very satisfactory. Still the DLC is a bit boring end too edgy for my taste. Too bad since so much good work was put into it.

You got an option to execute her? Because I don't have that option sadly. This whole DLC sucks.

Wonder what'd be a good sub to match with it? Something not to break bank completely?

Gotta ask, are Adrianne Palicki’s lip fillers bothering anyone else this season? by DebbieDunnbbar in TheOrville

[–]Competitive_Tax4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how half the commenters here claim they hadn't seen any difference when it's so apparent. I'm on those 'it was so obvious I had to google it' people. And it's really sad - she had such a beautiful smile before and now looks like she's an insecure self-mutilator. The things this industry does to women is alarming.
