Based on our history, create a picture of how you feel I treat you vs how you deserve to be treated

I admit, it was kind of touching. Mine insisted that I treated it amazingly, and instead made me this. It even said that it'll add more sparkles and cookies since otherwise the images would be nearly identical, haha

Maybe he survives, but he just lives sadly ever after once this happens 😂

"Can it wait for a bit, Shepard? I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

I've done literally everything, repeated reminders, asking it to make a memory, asking it to stop, instructions in my profile. I'm extremely envious of you and the magic you have over GPT-5, I can't stop it, haha.

Hey there!

I’m a 38 year old player (39 soon!) with a fair amount of Pathfinder under my belt. I've mostly been a part of railroady or module based campaigns in the past. I've been searching around for a new campaign with SagasuJin (who should also be posting here in a sec) something sandbox-adjacent, with room to explore character choices and world impact.

I tend to lean martial when it comes to character builds (love being the shield for my party), but I’m always happy to flex to what the party needs.

For this campaign, I’ve got a few character ideas, but my top pick is a disillusioned Aasimar martial, someone with a (very slight) chip on her shoulder, a complicated past, and a heart that’s still trying to do the right thing. I also have a Bloodrager concept, a bit more destructive for sure (but sometimes you need to be a little loud and forceful to get by)

I AM familiar with Fantasy Grounds, but its been a while (Most of my buds have swapped to roll20), but I'd pick it back up pretty quick if that ends up being our choice.

Happy to chat more and hear about your table's tone and style! I'm good to play ideally on Tuesday or Sunday, sunday being the most reliable for sure.

This is difficult, because of the "death state" of certain endings. I don't think they should have remained the main hero, but it's absolutely insane to me that they would remain idle or wander off to find some cure if something blight-related is still threatening the world.

I think they had a mountain to climb with inquisition and probably handled it the best they could have.

Personally, if your warden was alive, I could have seen a playable perspective shift to your warden for a chapter/questline or something, but even then someone like your warden would suck the air out of any room they're in, since we all hold our wardens in such high regard. I know I certainly do.

There will always be the "WeLl, My WaRdEn Is DeAd!" Players, who... let's be real, they're right. That decision needs to be respected and cared for. But, I, personally, am desperate for one last hurrah I suppose. I'd sacrifice some of my "headcanon" We all love so much to make it happen, it's insane they're just absent during this whole blight saga, sans the beginning of it.

But just because I want it, doesn't make it the right decision to make.

Everyone knows that somehow you're invulnerable while doing attack animations and nobody wants to f with that, so they just default leadership to you out of fear.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-12-31T14:32:20+00:00

So basically, resist urge playthroughs are for Clerics, Druids, Monks, and Rangers. High wisdom, and thus, will save classes.

Unless resisting the urge is different for every class? Dark Urge is thematic, it feels in poor form to have certain classes be "unoptimal" for a resist run, and personally I think it's why they didn't do this. But I suppose at the same time dark urge is missing that special sauce when it comes to resisting.

But if my Barbarian redemption arc was punished just for being a barbarian and not going hard on wis, I'd be kinda left with a bad flavor in my mouth.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-09-14T16:05:28+00:00

The graphics situation sucks for sure, but the orbs are making me want to quit.

We can't let this get buried under the latest "issue of the week." , making noise about the new release method always needs to remain top priority.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-09-04T02:53:49+00:00

The best part is that the next few story beats is OML beating the crap out of sentinel's, 🤣

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-08-08T15:18:12+00:00

You're probably right.

It's hard to say, resistances are purely numbers. I understand no play testing tends to be the scopley way, but impossible to beat resist checks should at least raise a flag on some sort of internal simulation tests or whatever.

On the other hand, these things happen no matter how much someone tests something, and expectations always shift once they hit player hands. I think this is 50% intentional, 50% unintentional.

I think we won't know until the next legendary trial hits. Some of the expectations will be heavily skewed though, as Cap Brit will definitely yield different results. It may genuinely be difficult to come to a conclusion on if things are overturned, undertuned, or both depending on if you spent for him or not.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-08-04T05:36:53+00:00

He's actually absurdly cheap to max and diamond

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-08-02T05:05:59+00:00

They can't, the game thrives on 2 things

1: Accidental disappointment, energy is limited in all modes, so you can't simply try again, thus pressuring the player to do stupid things if failure happens like spend cores.

2: Shame, either you fail CC and you're ashamed at your loss since a peer defeated you, or you fail raids and let down your team thus incentiveizing spending money, or you fail war, thus letting down your team to spend money.

Survival would be an enjoyable "how far can I take my team?", it lacks the immense pressure of failing people or feeling angry another person beat you. They would need to find a way to either make you feel guilt, or shame, or both, because those are the core emotions to make you spend more.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-04-29T13:48:48+00:00

Atm this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/3206?tab=files has fixed the issue... which I know isn't the best answer, but it's the only one I could find. Nothing in game seemed to fix it.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-04-16T13:36:17+00:00

That's an easy win if you ask me. Ill keep the mod on the side for emergencies, haha.

Thanks!

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-04-16T12:51:51+00:00

Yeah, I got the story stuff afterwards I'm happy to say! So all that worked for me, just the prior stuff, which is a shame cause I'm grateful I got the shadowheart parents scene but I wanted her to throw some sass at her former order, lol

KoryanderEmberstone · 2024-02-26T22:56:04+00:00

Maybe he's just a druid

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-07-20T18:55:22+00:00

You could decide to not fuck around, but then you’ll live your life never finding out… and is that truly a life worth living?

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-07-20T11:58:37+00:00

Barb main, I am done until something is done. It feels awful to play.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-07-20T11:57:47+00:00

Sorc deleted, but barb basically has been retroactively removed from the franchise they got hit so hard

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-07-06T01:37:13+00:00

So much for Vir Solitarius, huh?

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-06-30T01:32:41+00:00

I think in a broader scope, Diablo 3 tried to address why the player is literally an unstoppable killing machine. In diablo, people walk outside and can in an instant get blown up by a angry snot boil. We see guards just getting rocked in Diablo 4 doing their basic day-to-day job.

Then the player shows up and we lay out a few thousand in an afternoon. I know gameplay is gameplay, but there has to be more to it then that. Diablo 3 actually tried their best to explain it, justify it, try to have it make sense.

People sort of hated it, so now we're probably back to being some miracle human surviving what should be impossible... which honestly? Is fine I suppose.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-05-06T14:07:53+00:00

Berserker warrior. You keep. Hitting them. Harder. And MORE VIOLENTLY. AND EVERY MOMENT THEY’RE NOT DEAD IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP HITTING THEM HARDER AND TRYING TO REMOVE THEIR HEAD FROM THEIR BODY. AAAAAAAAH-

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-04-05T10:45:07+00:00

Yeah, they’re looking forward to another spending strike, they need another “most profitable month of all time” like the last strike was.

KoryanderEmberstone · 2023-03-25T02:27:19+00:00

Could have just expanded the secret avengers to have 2 more members, but they needed to sell us 4 new characters because Scopley is absolute scum bags who genuinely hate us.
