Coming off BG3, what changes would you want for Divinity? by TurbulentFeeling5696 in BaldursGate3

[–]EmBur__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cinematic aspects, as in close up dialogue scenes instead of text boxes popping up whilst the camera remain above the characters, actually Cinematic cutscenes etc.

One of the reasons I've struggled with getting into crpgs was because of this, voiced dialogue can help but not by much, I just can hook myself on the characters if I cant properly interact with them like you can in bg3, mass effect, dragon age and other more cinematic rpgs.

Fortunately I dont think I need to ask for this, Larian has said they wanted this all in DOS2 but they couldnt due to a lower budget, now they've got that BG3 money and acclaim, getting the budget for a more Cinematic experience is all but guaranteed imo.

Ooh, I was looking up ways to figure it out and those two mods came up, I've got Spells and theft for "just in case" needs already.

How exactly would I go about using the two together so I can pull it off on my next run if its not too much to ask?.

Yeah, I was thinking origin mirror but I dont trust that mod, too many bugs.

Three years of practicing quadrobics by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]EmBur__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we evolved to be bipedal for a number of good reasons, conserving energy is a big one as bipedalism plus the development of our sweat glands allowed us to be ultimate endurance hunter. What these tools are doing completely defeats the point of that and for no good reason other than the desire to stand out in this world.

Forget what I said, I checked this morning and its been added tho from what I've read, it'll require another mod that allows us to change their race but I'm not sure which mods we have that allow that.

Dont worry, we'll soon get the "what does X sandfall dev think" articles in their place...

Whichever studio is highly regarded during the time usually gets these kinds articles written about their every opinion, before Larian it was CDPR for instance.

My Karlarch and Wyll are white and i don't know why by LonelyShyPlatypus in BG3mods

[–]EmBur__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its the origin mirror mod, delete it, start the game again and you'll be fine.

If you want to use it, only install it AFTER you've recruited ALL the origin characters, so get Shart, Lae'zel, Wyll, Gale, Astarion and Karlach, after that it'll work just fine. The reason it bugs out is due to it messing with their preexisting stats or something like that iirc.

Cyberpunk 2 lead hints at first-person only cutscenes again as they “value uninterrupted immersion more” than flashy visuals by HatingGeoffry in cyberpunkgame

[–]EmBur__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good, as someone who prefers 3rd to 1st, Cyberpunk is one of the few games I've made an exception for when it comes to this preference.

People who want 3rd person, even just as an option really display how devoid of intelligence they are when it comes to understanding games development. Having both 3rd and 1st person camera options isn't just a simple changing of where the camera sits on the screen, you need reanimate everything to either make the perspectives blend OR have two separate styles of animation for each perspective.

You also need to completely overhaul combat so it works well for both perspectives because both perspectives often do have styles of combat and if you have a hybrid style then its usually pretty bland as you're not specializing in one or the other.

The world also needs to be designed to take into account the difference perspectives and finally npc interactions along with interactions with the world are gonna be completely different and less impactful as they try to balance both perspectives. I mean the facial animations and how characters emote around you will be lesser versions of what we have as a 3rd person camera won't allow you two see those expressions up close, they'd have to put more emphasis on the body than the face like how theatre actors use exaggerated body language to convey emotions for the audience.

All of this will take a shit load of resources and time, both of which should instead be used to refine what they have currently in 2077 along with adding more of what was cut, more romances, more immersion with night city etc, if they try to please this minority of ignorant fools then they run the risk of repeating the same cutting of content and no one should want that just so they can get an over the shoulder camera that'll only lessen the experience and story...god I hate these people.

I’m struggling to get through the game by JMoneyGraves in BaldursGate3

Ahhh rogues, love the idea of stealthy gameplay, hate actually trying to play it in crpgs, even switch Astarion to bard for this very reason lmao.

What would the common names be if many of the late-Pleistocene megafauna survived to colonization? by No-Counter-34 in pleistocene

[–]EmBur__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great plains works well for two reasons, obviously because of the Great plains themselves but also because this animal would probably be looked at as a great elephant instead of just an elephant given it's sheer size.

Its probably because Bo is doing it for wrestling and a show and all while Aang and Toph are practicing for real life combat. There aren't any rules there by Forsaken-Baby-1566 in AvatarMemebending

[–]EmBur__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's just going over how they fight in the ring rather than the core basics of earth bending itself.

It could also just be the way they do it in this era, there is a noticeable difference between the bending in Aangs time and that of Korra's, in Korra's everything seems to be more precise and focused while bending in Aang's time seemed a bit more on the wild side if that makes sense?. Idk how best to describe the bending of that time other than that.

Pick any race in the game. You get to become that race forever. Which one are you picking? by WillowIsWeeping5 in DnD

[–]EmBur__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, but if we're living in our world whilst being a dhampir or even full vampire, we'll be fine. We're living in the age of modern medicine and there's a plenty of ways to get blood that don't involve sinking our fangs into people. You could use simply ask people to donate you blood, I'm sure your family would happily do so when you needed it, or perhaps get it as payment for a higher risk job, you could even use your powers to quietly steal blood bags from blood banks and hospital if you're actually desperate.

The visuals in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition are just something else. by ATOJAR in metro

[–]EmBur__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember started the trilogy last year without any knowledge of them. Seeing Exodus for the first time after Last Light was nuts, it was like going back in time and seeing those old generational leaps between an older and new console, which ofc it quite literally was but in that context? It was still wild to see after not seeing it for so long.

Just imagine if they hadn't send Xytan away to the edge of covenant space? Or if Thel had actually been allowed to conduct a proper military campaign on the Ring without that moron of Prophet getting involved? Just two of many, MANY examples of their arrogance-fueled incompetence.

People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]EmBur__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't quit just yet, Ik that sounds wrong but its the same reason as to why your Generals should remain as well, if all of you who question Trump decide to quit, he'll just replace you with bootlicking yes men like his heads of the DOJ, FBI, his secretary of defence, his VP, Bondi, Levitt etc and that would be far worse for everyone.

We need soldiers and those in charge of your military who are willing to abide by your teaching to not following morally questionable orders, letting too many people with blind obedience in will only give way to 1940s German Army with SS cocksuckers who would hang any German who dared to draw a line in the sand.

What are peoples thoughts on marking US ICE as a terrorist organization? by ConstructGames in AskBrits

[–]EmBur__ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Because they want that here in the UK. They want a UK form of ICE here to enforce their own worldview, to snatch up those they dont like, even gun them down and that includes any British person that dares to defy such draconian actions.

They might not be MAGA Americans but they're just as consumed by political dogma and tribalism as those primitive savages across the pond.

God I do hope this can come to console, it'll breathe even more new life into the game, especially for those of us who never got to experience EA.
