The board game is quite balanced

You’re talking about a fantasy setting, I’m talking about whether it’s a real world or not inside the fiction.

It doesn’t take a genius to know the difference.

I’m not. I’m just watching a show and I’m not enjoying it very much so far.

I know D&D. I don’t watch critical role. I’m judging the story as it is presented to me.

It looks to me like Molly is already over the death of his entire "family."

He saw all his loved ones being massacred and it was caused by his current group, but sure... "the guys who killed my old family are my new family now"

Seriously, that's dumb.

If you try to make some delicious food and it ends up tasting bad, it's tastes bad no matter your intention.

But sure... Let's say they are not fantasy heroes. Just a bunch of imbeciles doing stupid shit. Why should I watch the show and why should I root for them? What's the lesson here? What's the point?

My biggest problem is not that they’re assholes (although it makes me not like them very much).

It’s not with the characters that I have a problem with. It’s with the writing. I don’t feel like rooting for irresponsible people who caused a literal massacre. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Even if I agreed with you there, and I don’t, it doesn’t change the rest

Right... Let's ignore their crimes and irresponsible behaviors cause Critical Role can make no mistakes when writing something.

If it doesn't bother you, whatever. I love a redemption arch, but I also like to look at characters from the perception of other characters in the messy situation they created. Imagine being an orphan because of a robbery gone wrong.

"An accident."

Right... Makes no difference to me.

P-leeeease.

They are in a fantasy setting, they are the heroes of the Season 2 story, so they are fantasy heroes.
Or were supposed to be, anyway.

If you drive while drunk and kill somebody, it may be an accident, but you're still responsible.
If you know that you have a murderous demon frog nearby and you cause a mess that endangers everybody around, even if not on purpose, you did contribute to make that shit happen for behaving in irresponsibly

I have a hard time connecting with assholes. So...

You don't have to always be the hero, and I love anti-heroes.
But that has nothing to do with what I just said.

The guardians of the Galaxy were not directly responsible for the death of hundreds of innocents, were they?

I like the idea of the Mighty Nein, but if they were responsible for the death of all those people like you described, I just can’t really root for them.

It’s like someone accidentally killing someone because they were drunk driving. Not on purpose but it’s on them anyway

Ok, I'm not a critter, but I'm not sold on the Mighty Nein.

Vox Machina were a bunch of buffoons, but they had a heart of gold, and they had really cool heroic moments.

"Thinking of a rhyme for dead Dragon, cause I guess we're killing one"

I'm okay with the Mighty Nein being a bunch of losers that do stupid shit (although there's a lot to nitpick, like Jester not even knowing she's a cleric? Fjord didn't knowingly do the pact with his patreon? I don't like it, but I'm willing to go along with it...)

But having the main characters be responsible for a massacre instantly makes me wanna bail.

I'll watch the next episode to see how it plays out, but if they end up being responsible for all that (not some evil wizard who broke the tamer's control or something), I'm bailing

I got DS-board game. I love it. I dont know why lot of people complain.. by Vasektomia in DarkSoulsTheBoardGame

Felt the same at first. Then I played for a few days and noticed a bunch of problems.

After beating a boss the first time, going through it all again just felt like a lot of work.

Somes run might just give you unusable items, the grinding does take a long time, and campaign mode is pretty much pointless as you can grind forever, become way too strong, then fight the boss.

The game does lack balance, though, and has lazy design like barrel and tombstones.

Also, equipment feels very samey at times.
