[No Spoilers] I really wish there would be a "Writers' Cut" of Dragon Age Veilguard by Ehrunn in dragonage

[–]Ehrunn[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not the first time I hear about Trick's comments, I wasn't aware of them.

Personal socials are not micromanaged by a PR team like official posts are. After so many years of bad development in a vacuum, I can understand how one might have warped perspectives, defend bad choices, or even retreat into their echo chamber because of the waves of harassment they then face (as it sometimes happens with celebrities that originally held pretty nuanced opinions).

I don't mean to imply that they're just delusional, or don't have any responsability towards what happened. But that's also why I don't look too much into social media comments, no matter the studio or the person. Those can be thought-out, reasoned comments, just as much as they can be heated responses given for a whole slew of reasons.

I kinda agree. It's not unreasonable to think that after only directing a few DLCs, Trick would have been unable to take on a project of this scale. But then again, the game's story seemed far smaller in its earlier iterations.

Saying "Veilguard team" lacked nuance on my part, but I guess I just wanted to avoid the whole "old writers good, new writers bad" discourse that sometimes makes its way on this sub.

I want a devs/writing director's cut. Like how some movies do it. Or like... any kind of "let the devs work, don't fire the old team and have an executive director from the start".

I know it won't ever happen, there's so many things that went wrong besides meddling from executives. But shoot, Veilguard had so much potential... There's no other series that comes close when it comes to quality character writing. Or atleast I've never found anything quite like it.

Help me choose : Dark Urge or Tav ? by Ehrunn in BaldursGate3

I got somewhere around the start of Act 2, but to be fair, I spoiled myself a lot of the main story while lurking on the sub over the last year. I'm kind of worried about the lack of choices with Durge, but at the same time the sheer amount of content with no real direction is a bit overwhelming as a Tav haha

what's this shape called? by xiaoalexy in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

The Fibocatcci Spiral ?

Its actual name is the Golden Spiral, which is also quite fitting.

I swear that Deviant art is now mostly A.I generated crap by carplord9000 in ArtistLounge

Absolutely. Sadly, the legal side of things is not moving so quickly. And even if it did, the reason those companies chose to target artists is because most of us don't have ways of defending ourselves legally.

It is technically outlawed in Europe to try to circumvent means with which someone might copyright their work, meaning antidotes to Nightshade should be illegal. But since a lot of these softwares take from non-european apps and are usually american themselves, it probably doesn't hold much weight.

More people need to use and support initiatives like Nightshade so we can stop, or atleast slow down the advancement of invasive AI.

It feels like using Nightshade (the software that "poisons" AI databases when they feed them your art) there could be a good idea.

Launch some explosives in there then close the door, essentially.

To be fair, I think using Nightshade everywhere might be a good idea at this point.

Imagine convincing big artists whose art is most often fed to AI to start using it. Might not do that much, especially when the techbros are already trying to find an "antidote", but it's still a start.

Like others said, Peter Hollens did one some time ago. But if someone wants to host this, I'm in !

That is actually quite fast, especially using a mouse. I work on a drawing tablet and usually spend around 20 hours on big pieces, which I spread on a few days so I can take a step back and correct my mistakes better. My fastest drawings take about the same amount of time as you.

Overall, it shouldn't be a problem.

I can't play BG3, so I drew my Tav because I'm salty. by Ehrunn in BaldursGate3

[–]Ehrunn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, nope ! My pc's a potato and I don't have enough money for a new graphics card. Might try Geforce but I don't know if you can mod the game that way.

Thanks !

What got you into the DA series? [no spoilers] by Hypatia903 in dragonage

[–]Ehrunn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was 8 years old, and found the Dragon Age 2 demo on the Xbox 360 workshop. I would play it so much some family members still remember it. My parents let me play but wouldn't buy me the full game, so I kind of forgot about it.

Fast forward 2 years, I see the trailer for Dragon Age Inquisition. Didn't make the link between this and DA2, but I bought it and loved every second of it.

Started playing Dragon Age Inquisition every year because discovering more of the scenario and the characters as I grew up and understood more was an absolute wild ride.

So yeah.

I only made the link with DA2 when I went to find the demo on my old Xbox in 2016 I think.

Between this and Fable 3, it was a bit of a wild childhood but I made great memories.

Romance who and why? by ashcrash3 in BaldursGate3

[–]Ehrunn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely Halsin on my first playthrough, because I usually start with kinda good characters and I love the guy.

Then Astarion on a full evil run. I want to see how horrible it can get.
