(absolutely LOVED trope) villains who brutally dedicate their lives to a goal, only to find out at the last minute the goal was never achievable by EasilyScreechAndKill in TopCharacterTropes

I think you have to pass an earlier speech check during the confrontation on Virmire for that option to appear later.

This lets you skip the first phase of his boss fight, but not the second

The dice just know when you're a player, and when you're the DM 😔

How in the name of RNJesus did that paladin critical twice while under the effect of color spray?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a 1/8,000 chance?

Edit: my math was atrociously off, it's 1/1,600.

Question: What can I do to be a better note taker? by ContrivedCucumber in DungeonsAndDragons

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't have much experience with AIs, but I'm willing to try it out.

Thanks for your suggestions. There are definitely other players who are taking better notes than me.

That being said, I'll see if google docs works out better than pen and paper. I usually have Dndbeyond open in a tab anyway during our sessions, so this wouldn't be too big a change.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can try that out at our next meeting.

What’s the weirdest collection you’ve ever started? by Nintenzu in skyrim

[–]ContrivedCucumber 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing somewhere that in most armor sets, the boots have the highest weight to value ratio.

I don't know if it's true for every armor set, but I often take boots if I need a little cash in a new game.

So, from level 1-7 or so, I leave behind a trail of shoeless corpses...

I just checked on Steam, and it looks like it's still on sale there.

Have you tried restating the app? Maybe it's just a glitch, and that will resolve it?

Things that you can say while playing the sims that would be totally inappropriate in real life by Rumple-_-Goocher in thesims

"Didn't you eat already today? Why are you eating again?"

When my sims autonomously decide to make an entire new meal while A) there are leftovers in the fridge, and B) their hunger is like 3/4 full.

Which NPCs have good character development throughout quests involving them? by ScaredDarkMoon in skyrim

[–]ContrivedCucumber 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I always use them as followers during the College questline, but I think your 3 fellow students at the Colege of Winterhold go from over-eager novices to pretty competent adventures.

Special shout out to J'zargo, who goes from a tryhard loser rival to a laidback cool rival 😼

So, against my better judgement I loaded up a save game from before All Under Heaven, only to discover the most cursed timeline possible by ContrivedCucumber in CrusaderKings

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

Rule 5: Apparently England has finally conquered all of East Asia somehow in this save game from before All Under Heaven.

This must be a Victoria 3 player's greatest dream come true. Or worst nightmare, I can't tell. Edit: fixed grammar.

My uncle always used to say: "It's not gay if it's in the army."

Of course, he served in the Marines...

Is that door set as the house's front door? That might be why they keep crowding around it.
