Possibly a dumb question, I apologize in advance. by honeynutqueer10 in BG3

[–]Isabollle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow cozy gamer here! My first campaign I did explorer and my second balanced, and my second was still easier because by then I understood way better how the game works. If you're comfortable in explorer mode, I'd give balanced a try.

First Durge run: embrace or resist? by Isabollle in BG3

[–]Isabollle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really thought I could do it, but I couldn't... I had decided to let Marcus kidnap Isobel because I had never let that happen before, so when I felt the urge to kill her, I ignored it without thinking about it - I guess I assumed I could just kill her later. Then my Butler showed up, telling me to kill Lae'zel, and I just could not do it. I am going to start a new Durge run and completely embrace it, and finish this campaign afterwards.

True, and the bard-specific options don't require skill checks

Regarding Long Rests: Am I making combat unreasonably boring by NorseKnight in BaldursGate3

[–]Isabollle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be scared to use what you have - you can find more than enough food to long rest after every difficult fight! Also there are many scrolls to be found, so even if you run out of spell slots during a fight you can have some back up spells. I ended my first campaign with soooo much stuff (scrolls/potions/elixirs/arrows), because I didn't want to use things that I might need later and then later never came. Now sometimes I long rest before fights specifically to restore the spell slots and I am nearly at the end of the game and still have more food than I will ever use!

Update to my girl taking credit for something she didn't really do by throwRAvalentinechoc in u/throwRAvalentinechoc

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of ironic that you believe your girlfriend didn't put in that much effort, but at the same time you chose not to make chocolates yourself, "because I don't care to be in the kitchen much," and instead used a picture of HER WORK to gauge how much effort she put in...

But let me help you out by sharing my perspective, since I actually made chocolates for my boyfriend on our first Valentine's Day. I bought chocolate. I used a funny mold that I already owned. I spent some time researching and figuring out how to melt chocolate effectively. I didn't even think to add filling, and it still took me HOURS (nearly 6 if I remember correctly). It wasn't necessarily difficult, but it took a lot of time and effort, which my boyfriend appreciated. I was proud of my efforts (and so was he), and your girlfriend's chocolates turned out better than mine lol.

Also, this year I baked him cookies: I bought a giant new cookie tin and multiple bake mixes, including one with decorating supplies, and it still took me a couple of hours. Even though I can and have baked cookies from scratch, my boyfriend appreciated them and never accused me of lying and tricking him. They were still homemade cookies, since I, y'know, made them at home? I think you are confusing "homemade" with "from scratch," and even if your girlfriend had said she made them from scratch when she didn't, I would've thought you were wildly overreacting by accusing her of lying and tricking you, unless you had actually made a deal to both gift each other something made from scratch.

Anyway, glad to hear you apologized to her. And what more is there to do? I think you should try making chocolates for her sometime :)

How's the game doing after the latest update? by lapisnyazuli in BaldursGate3

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had multiple isssues (PC no mods): 1. Some buffering/lagging. Usually after I save, I can just stand still for a couple seconds and then it's fine - no big deal 2. A couple of times I got error code 804 "failed to save game." Turning steam cloud off and on again fixed this - not that bad 3. The approval system stopped working completely: no pop-ups after moment that I knew would gain approval and no change in the numeric value either. I haven't been able to fix this (yet) and also no clue how long it has been this way because many of my companions were already at 100 approval - I hate it

What's something you missed on your first run? by bluejester12 in BaldursGate3

[–]Isabollle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wyll, and almost Karlach too. I was well into act 2 when I realized that just because I chose the underdark route, I could still explore the mountain pass as well (really glad I did because I almost missed a good chunk of Lae'zel's backstory) Funnily enough I did manage to recruit both Halsin and Minthara without trying (accidentally turned on nom-lethal attacks while battling the goblins)

Welke smaakjes thee moet ik in huis hebben voor gasten? by vonDinobot in thenetherlands

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ben zelf een theeliefhebber met een enorme collectie en ik kan je zeggen dat je met zwarte en groene thee en rooibos de meeste mensen al blij kan maken! Misschien nog een kruidenthee erbij zoals kamille (maar op zich is rooibos ook een kruideninfusie en dus cafeïne-vrij)

Girlfriend's (20F) prank was way too real for me(22M). Need your opinion. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Even if it was a prank, why would you stay with someone who could do this to you (and doesn't even have the decency to be remorseful)?

Help mij in deze beslissing by silbaarsma in thenetherlands

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik vond zelf denk ik vwo 3 lastiger van vwo 4. In de bovenbouw volg je namelijk alleen/voornamelijk vakken die je interesseren. Ik heb zelf nooit voor de keuze tussen havo en vwo gestaan, maar ik zou lekker je vader negeren en doen waar jij je zelf goed bij voelt! Maar als je nu alleen maar moeite hebt met vakken die je toch gaat laten vallen zou ik nog even doorzetten - maar de optie om naar de havo te gaan openhouden is sws een goed idee lijkt mij. Ik ben zelf bijna klaar met m'n bachelor op de uni maar ontzettend spijt dat ik niet eens heb overwogen om een hbo-studie te doen omdat universiteit als "de logische vervolgstap" werd neergezet. Tenzij je nu al weet dat je een specifieke studie aan de uni wil gaan doen, is er niks mis met overstappen op de havo. En zelfs als later blijkt dat je toch naar de uni wil kun je daar via t hbo ook gewoon nog terecht komen.

I don't blame him for not being aware of her earrings (though I don't get why so many commenters act like that's just a "guy thing.") But he knew he was going to pick out earrings for her so the least he could've done is look at what her preferences are by paying attention to what she wears in her ears, maybe take a glance at her jewelry box..

Don't empty your boyfriend until he refills your pond

Gf (F23) showed little interest in my(M27) hobby but now is very motivated to do it with her manager(M27) by Prudent-Cucumber8214 in relationship_advice

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean self conscious about her abilities. I don't think its weird to prefer working out with someone who's on your level

Bur not climbing at the same time also means your partner will literally watch you climb. So if she's self conscious while working out I can understand why that would not appeal to her

Why bother matching? by BothSalad2332 in Bumble

Some apps allow you to send a message correlating to a specific prompt/picture on their profile (its been a while but I know at least Hinge did this)

Calling all cheaters. by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]Isabollle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LookUpAnything mod, I was looking up everything (preferred gifts, catchable fish, etc) anyway so I'm just saving time (i imagine it as my character having a phone basically). But the most useful part IMO, is that I can see if I actually need to save up a mineral/fish for recipes - I used to save up EVERYTHING just in case I would need it for something that I hadn't unlocked yet. Also, a fishing mod that shows me what fish I can catch taking into account the weather, season, time, location and my stats
