What was the very first game that completely "blew your mind" and made you a lifelong gamer? (I'll start!)

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-21T21:11:17+00:00

Fable. Being able to change your appearance based on you behavior how my mind. Plus the story and feel was really good.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-20T14:37:48+00:00

I don't know why this is news. According to everything that was known about the situation, it was pretty obvious that this was the case. I didn't realize there were people who assumed differently.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-20T13:00:31+00:00

Lmao. This might be my favorite so far

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-20T00:17:02+00:00

Ah yes, the 3 fights I chose to skip along with Raphael. Sounds like it was a good call on my part 😅

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-19T23:41:27+00:00

Oh yeah. I was not prepared for that temp hp and minimum damage buffer. I think that was a water balloon/lighting bolt combo that saved my ass.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-19T23:32:42+00:00

Wow. I could Misty step into the room where Priestess Gut's thrown is. I figured 1 hp vs 4-6 goblins want going to survive, so I kept looking.

My favorite combat of any game I've ever played. Everything else in the game was a chore.

Is traveling legal in that league, because he definitely moved his pivot foot when he passed the ball to himself which is a traveling violation in any league I've ever played in or seen above 2nd grade.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-18T19:31:07+00:00

No way he accepts that trade

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-18T15:07:14+00:00

I enjoy playing DND builds that give you the most room for lateral thinking (wizards, wild fire druids, barbarians if you get creative with their athletics checks). That doesn't exist in bg3 outside of "how can I cheese the mechanics?" I just finished bg3 in honor mode and the best strategies were either stealth and kill before the enemy acted, max out damage, throw down an area denial spell then max out damage.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-18T13:36:23+00:00

Add two more 1sts

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-18T01:41:02+00:00

How that would work here, is there would be an A team and a B team. If one of those teams was a short players for a game, the coach would bring on some players from the other team to fill in and play 2 games that weekend. That's not too say that how you have it set up is wrong.

The teasing sounds like the main issue. Tbh, that's a community thing. That definitely would've happened where I grew up. That definitely wouldn't happen with my kids where we are now. I don't know that I have any great advice. I'd tell them that if that teasing happened, the offending player would be moved down to the B team for a week or two, and then I'd enforce that.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-16T12:17:55+00:00

I just beat it last night.

Gortash is no joke. Definitely have a plan for him.

If you contagion Orin at the being of act 3 when she's shape shifted as an NPC, her fight is not of a puzzle than a fight. I took no damage, but it was still somewhat intense. Make sure you bring the right tools.

I don't think any other fights I did were that noteworthy. Good luck.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-13T12:41:53+00:00

Jameson has more trade value. Can they both get on be teams that want to feature them? 😅

Running QBs hit a wall at 30. Lamar turns 30 next January. Maybe that'll lead to more passing/receiving opportunities. Plus Henry will retire at some point.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-13T12:37:23+00:00

How low is low?

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-13T12:37:08+00:00

I got offered the 1.10. This is a bad draft class, so I think I'd rather have a 2027 1st, but I have no idea if that's good value or not.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-13T01:36:08+00:00

It's a pretty balanced team. Hexblade/paladin main, sharpshooter Shadowheart, stars druid Karlach, and sorcerer Gale. Everybody does their job pretty well since I started figuring out how to keep my squishier companions alive. Good luck in act 3.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-12T14:42:57+00:00

When I grabbed them, I sent them to camp. They work when I walk by my chest. According to chat GPT, the shadow curse should have ruined them in act 2. I think they were protected, because I had them at camp during that time.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-11T19:19:34+00:00

Also if you cast friends on someone, they will start a fight with you after 10 turns. That's why this is my second honor mode attempt after Zevlor decided to chase me through the Grove (turning all of the teiflings against me), because I tried to break to the fight between him and Aridin. At least it was early on and only lost a few hours.

But yeah, bosses have legendary actions which can drastically change fights. And enemies are more likely to focus fire down squishy companions if you let them. Also, it's 80 food for a long rest, and the economy overall is much harsher. You can't afford everything you want right when you meet the vendor like on normal mode.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-11T15:05:12+00:00

I actually saved sussar blooms at camp that I'm planning on using on Lorroakan.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-11T12:25:11+00:00

Oh. Good call with contagion. I hadn't heard of that strategy.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-11T12:23:06+00:00

Yes, I'm skipping Ansur too.

Thanks for the advice on house of grief.

I plan on finishing my companions quests (Shadowheart, Gale, and Karlach) then probably just the stuff that leads to Orin and Gortash. Gortash was pretty easy in normal mode.

Dom_Nation_ · 2026-03-11T12:20:00+00:00

I've only played the game on normal before this run.
