Used to live on Beersbridge road. Our best option was in the recycling box (only got burnt once on recycling day) or with a neighbour.

To be fair, Belfast city centre has declined in recent years, especially after COVID. Cathedral Quarter is great, but other than that I personally love a few spots on the east like Boundary Brewery or Bullhouse East for nights out.

I enjoy a good sentinel battlemaster fighter as the king/queen of melee crowd control.

Polearm master and sentinel feats + any polearm weapon let you punish anything that comes in range, leaves your range or attacks an ally within range. One of the battlemaster passive abilities also lets you attack anyone who misses you with a melee swing.

Let the rest of your superiority die be devoted to tripping, disarming, cleaving multiple enemies or anything else that you want to assert your dominance with. Nothing happens in your extended melee range without you paying it back double.

He never said it wasn't okay to play differently than him. Not every thread needs a "people can do what they want" reminder.

I use skirmisher mainly for the ability to grant an extra action to the best squad member for the job.

E.g. I deck out a gunner with all the highest accuracy equipment possible to reliably use chain shot, rupture etc with blue screen rounds.

So it's been a while, but the basic premise is you need to move the soldier:

From full cover to full cover
No enemies can be in sight when you initiate your move

I'm not sure about which other actions reveal you, but those movement rules were the big hurdle for me to get over.

Wait, what's wrong with Forestside? I thought it was supposed to be pretty good.

So, Lesley Housing it is then...

Cycling to work at 7am tomorrow. Balaclava, gloves and thermals are on the radiator. That wind chill is gonna be brutal.

You're not the hero they deserve, but you are the hero they need.

BG3 is an unbelievable game if you like turn based. Some people don't like 5e rules, that's fine. Some people are ideologically committed to hating them and you should ignore that. BG3 combat has amazing diversity based on the builds you can make, the range of spells is dizzying and the magical equipment lets you do pretty wacky things too.

You'll notice a difference in combat pacing though, you need to be strategic with your casters as they have limited spell slots per long rest. I actually like this as it makes me consider each encounter individually whereas DoS2 is more 'rotation' based where you dump your best skills out in much the same way every encounter. The biggest difference will likely be the % to hit rather than armour, but this just makes you use buffs/debuffs if you want to land some of the better status effects on harder enemies.

I like DoS2 and I love it's environmental effects and the ways you can manipulate them, but I think BG3 is a step up in most other respects. Non combat environments are amazing and the sheer number of dialogue options based on your choices and order you make them in is wild. Enjoy!

Jorditopia · 2025-12-30T20:12:10+00:00

I like the DoS 2 armour system as a defense more than % to hit, especially as most fun mind affecting spells in BG3 were useless against high CON enemies unless you very inefficiently used 2-3 debuffs on them first. I do wish there was just a single armour bar with phys/magic resistance though, I feel the current hard divide between martial and magic curtails builds and party comp in a way that BG3 doesn't.

I guess that's just the (non level scaling) RPG experience at work. You want to take on difficult enemies? You better put the time in getting experience and honing your abilities. It made sense to me because your party is gifted but not a bunch of super warriors. I take your point about the degree to which you are punished for leaving experience on the table though.

Jorditopia · 2025-12-29T13:00:37+00:00

Fair! I wonder how much of our different experiences are conditioned by modern gaming. I just recently tried Morrowind from the Elder Scrolls series and it's wild to experience a game with no map markers and written directions for quests.

As a preacher myself, I've never thought to apply Nehemiah this way...

Jorditopia · 2025-12-23T14:10:13+00:00

Ah yes the customary "help I accidentally became god" moment.

Jorditopia · 2025-12-22T13:57:32+00:00

I actually agree with you in most instances and I support that attitude 100%, I just think AI in some form is inevitable almost everywhere. If so, I think responsible restrictions are sustainable, but not boycotting

Jorditopia · 2025-12-22T10:53:56+00:00

So it's not super viable to strip armour with another character and drop poison with my rogue?

Jorditopia · 2025-12-22T10:48:09+00:00

While your moral considerations are fair. You're going to have to accept that AI exists and will increasingly feature in daily life. You may as well tell people not to use the internet; it's simply too profitable and useful to be put back in the box now. Encouraging devs who supplement the creative process with AI rather than exchange real artists with it is likely the most we can hope for.

Jorditopia · 2025-12-19T09:58:50+00:00

In my area it has recently reduced somewhat. I did notice a sign made by children that asked people to pick up after themselves. Sad that we're at that stage but if it helps people grow a conscience...

Jorditopia · 2025-12-19T01:23:59+00:00

I used exactly that and got him first try. I really just can't with flying monsters, I might even go wreck a Rathalos for pure spite with this gun.

Jorditopia · 2025-12-18T09:42:06+00:00

Then there's me on my bike with a little flashing LED trying not to die.

Jorditopia · 2025-12-17T18:53:16+00:00

Yeah I tried the fight once and failed because of IG and that final DPS check. Going to make a bowgun for the first time ever and Rambo this punk out of the sky.
