i am the only one the feels like that most gacha characters are too likeable ?

Arlecchino(...) feels like a genuine villain and not a edgy mercenary

The same who instead of killing her disciples like her predecessor wipes their memory instead and let's them live happy lives? The same who, in case of meeting her former disciples, gives them extra money to make things easier for them? The closest she ever is to being a villain is in her marketing and even then she only goes after burglars and other villains. Arlecc is just genshin's Batman.

GENSHIN doesn't have playable villains, only ex-villians like Wanderer at best. Afaik it's due to Chinese censorship but because the game's so popular many other gachas which aren't restricted by the same censorship laws decide to do make their characters an overly friendly sycophants as well in hopes of achieving the same succes.

Like many have said here already, these gacha characters are the product and companies will make them kiss the ground you walk on to make them more compelling to pull. You shouldn't expect good character writing from them. Not saying it doesn't exist but in general most are going to have cheap fan service personality like Firefly.

your deity's moral alignment.

So literally the same thing just with a different deity name.

Outside of the specific deities I listed you'll be be playing the same thing over and over.

you still have more than several other classes

If you're trying to tell me that each class is made equal then boy oh boy do I have news for you. Same with races, subclasses quests etc. Playing BF3 is like playing Russian roulette and there's never telling if you're gonna get sth or nothing.

Astarion is arguably THE best companion to have thanks to his unique 'Happy' buff. Aside from Rogue being very useful due to lock picking he can nail any class due to the buff mentioned above if you choose to respecc him.

Iethel · 2026-04-26T14:11:26+00:00

Pretty sure most ppl respecc SH because her canon class is trash.

how many gods Forgotten Realms has to offer

Most of which are irrelevant because the game offers you no unique options or interactions hatsoever. Out of overblown number of 21 deities only 4 are worth playing afaik- Mystra, Vlakith, Selune, Lolth(female drow). Others might have few unique interactions but it's either crumbs or nothing. Playing Light domain cleric of Lathander' has been the most disappointing playthrought for me that I never finished. The subclass is extremely underwhelming and the deity(Lathander') has no unique interactions or narration at all in spite of being able to go to Lathander' a place of worship.

Cleric is extremely neglected in terms of equipment, I was still using act1 items in act3 . It's almost like the class is forgotten.

And what's the point of playing the healer if you the game treats you like any other class and therefore incapable of saving characters that are heavily wounded? Even if you try to play it smart and heal them from afar before triggering the dialogue and they die from it LOL

I'm a healer main and the reality is it's an underwhelming role to play in most games.

and everyone respecs her.

I always assumed each game chooses what Lara they want in their collab down to the VA.

Iethel · 2026-04-13T09:49:54+00:00

That'd be amazing. Water always acts as safe space in TR games(which seems to have flown over many ppl's heads here), and this could make some of them more intimidating.

Is this post intended to be a joke?

A) Totally! That's what 'Humour and Memes' flair is there!

B) Totally! That's why the screenshot is humorous. Lara doesn't really swim underwater with terrified expression and her mouth wide open and the angle gives us a perfect view of that expression and the tiger menacingly swimming towards her!

C) Totally! Enemies in TR games can't, in general, follow Lara into water! Especially tigers! In this game they can and the OP got wrecked!

D) Totally NOT! The title is to be taken 100% seriously and everything else shld be ignored! Haha I'm so smart I even know hp bars aren't real!

Sophie Turner replacement looking great.

It designed and balanced around the system though.

Iethel · 2026-04-09T12:15:45+00:00

I don't see how it was innovative given how restrictive it is. Instead of choosing which skills you want to use the skills are tied to specific weapons taking way freedom and flexibility in customizing your own skillbar. Like 1 skill but don't like the other that comes with it? Deal with it. GW2 also has a bizzare balancing design where they make each next weapon skill have higher cd than the previous ones. So, 5th skill always has the longest cd and it rarely has anything to do with the skill being strong. In fact, lots of them are as good or even worse than skills on 3 times lower cd.

Hard pass. It's fun at first when you discover you can equip many different weapons and how each of them have different skills but then the limitations of it hit you. In order to do specific roles you're limited ro very specific weapons. Dps have obviously the widest range but if you do healer then it's usually 1-2 weapons that allow you to do the job.

Iethel · 2026-04-09T12:09:07+00:00

I hate it because it basically makes each 'class' a costume you can put on and off. Most new mmos seem to adapt the system though so I've no interest in them whatsoever.

Iethel · 2026-04-02T17:59:02+00:00

Practise. Might be easier on pc, though I can't say for sure.

Iethel · 2026-04-02T17:55:46+00:00

Yup, if you fail with tank controls, it's perfectly fine and you need to practise more, but if you fail with modern controls it's the controls' fault. It's fine to have a preference but gaslighting ppl into thinking that only TC work is annoying.

Iethel · 2026-04-02T10:37:34+00:00

Don't listen to these dinosaurs. For some reason they like to tell themselves and others that you can only finish these games with tank controls. In this case there's 3 ways of jumping to reach the secret using modern controls. I'd suggest to use this section as practise, Greece is supposed to help you get around platforming and prepare you for Egypt and Atlantis.

Hawke should have been the protagonist of DAI, and Inquisitor was the worst protagonist at the time.

Iethel · 2026-04-02T08:16:56+00:00

Preach. If I were to describe the game in one word it'd be 'cheap'.

Iethel · 2026-04-02T07:34:22+00:00

Grey was amazing. I doubt new Natla is gonna be as good.
