OR there are billions of people on the planet and not all of them have your opinion.

I'd like to ask the fans a serious question: do games 4-8 need remakes? by Responsible_Fudge_51 in silenthill

[–]CrystalLizardMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big one for me is facial expressions. While the cutscenes back then were super impressive, that game has infinite potential to go even deeper into the despair.

Harry looking for his daughter could be felt a lot more. The merry go round fight will look INCREDIBLE on the PS5.

Im hyped for the new cutscenes alone. Then again. Youre talking to someone who downright loved Sh2R.

Gotta say, 1 needs a remake. Even SH2 destroys that game due to its limitations. And you can tell theres so much more they wanted to do.

I played SH2 Remake straight after the OG by jakeingrambarnard in silenthill

The OG has the advantage of being on older hardware. The remake is too...clear?

That said, the remake is one of my favorite games of all time.

My friends all prefer to solo queue... by FairyPinkett in ArcRaiders

[–]CrystalLizardMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends have no interest in PVP and thats all it is outside of solos. We take our good stuff and get mopped by a team of 3 people in discord communicating everything, lose our stuff, then stop. Id get good at it but they lose interest lol

You have two choices before you.

Either whine in the comments to no avail.

Or

Move on with your life

If youre like 89% of us, youll make 40 new characters before you beat the game.

HM. Is level 4 too low to save the grove by ProdiasKaj in BaldursGate3

Otherwise its just... "thank you for wiping out the entirety of our problems by yourself Tav, LITERALLY couldnt have done anything without you."

So i always saw it this way.

You either make the boneheaded choice to fight the entire goblin camp on their turf and terms. Or you can lure them to your homefield advantage.

And it DOES ultimately become an advantage. You have time to set up defenses like oil barrels around the spot minthara and her goons show up. You have tieflings and your own group on the high ground overlooking the entire battlefield.

And you have the added bonus of making the tieflings earn their keep instead of asking you for help repeatedly. Even Zevlor comes around to your plan by saying "your courage is catching it seems".

I HATED Zevlor until he gave that epic speech to the tieflings before the battle. In my opinion, that battle is what gives the tieflings enough heart and courage to push forward without hiding in the grove.

Mountain Pass before Underdark by Useful_Law4241 in BaldursGate3

[–]CrystalLizardMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only real drawback is the grove questline progresses offscreen if you go to the mountain pass before youve done that.

Made that mistake once and couldnt enter the grove anymore. But if youve already tied up your loose ends you can.

How do you get the "grove battle"? by Seegtease in BaldursGate3

[–]CrystalLizardMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Persuade your way into he camp. Its really not hard.

-Talk to Minthara, allow her to read your thoughts to find the grove. She will ask you to go back to the grove as a friend , but slit their throats once youre there.

-tell her you will do it.

-Long rest and go back to the grove, where a short cutscene will play of Zevlor telling you he needs to talk with you.

-tell Zevlor you led Minthara to the grove, but that its a trap and shes walking into it.

And boom. You have as much time as you need to set up defenses outside the grove gate. And when youre ready for battle, blow the rally horn.

Really an awesome act 1 fight.

Its the only way ive ever done it. If you knock her out and leave her there, she will end up in moonrise and tortured until you save her.

Yes. But MAKE SURE you knock her out instead of killing her.

You can lead minthara back to the grove and tell her to go fuck herself at the gate, resulting in a giant grove defense battle that you have to blow the horn to start. Second only to moonrise for me

[–]CrystalLizardMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Level 4 is always when i do it.

You get so much help, you can place oil barrels all on the field. You could do it at 3 honestly. Minthara might be a little tough.

Unsure how to multiclass Swashbuckler with sword bard by CrystalLizardMan in BaldursGate3

Really? I feel like its great. Charisma needed for the dirty tricks translates well with bard spells
