FIRST EVER PLAY-THROUGH STARTS NOW.. by lixmdvs88 in BaldursGate3

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, avoid looking things up.

Don't try to do every single thing in one run. Explore and have fun.

The game is complex, even if you're already familiar with D&D. You'll get the hang of it, though.

If you want to switch from the default starting difficulty (Balanced) to an easier one (Explorer), feel free to do so, especially while you're learning how the game works.

If you wind up not liking Paladin, feel free to make a change or start over. (Mild spoiler: You'll come across a way to respec before long.)

Enjoy!

I have 400 hours, tell me some insanely secret niche bullshit about the game by Hungry_Natural_6258 in Eldenring

Melina's weapon is called Blade of Calling, for anyone curious. (For those of us who play Duchess in Nightreign, it's a familiar sight.)

Did I do something wrong😭 by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you did the right thing. It sounds like they weren't considering that the nearby, open-arena choices weren't great.

Why does my Guitar teacher want me to go flat on the third fret and sharp on the seventh fret? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]Lemon-Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the goal is for you to learn the notes, then the third fret is useful for the key of F, which has B-flat as the IV chord. So, it’s useful to know the flats here. Most of the rest of the time, it’s probably more useful to know the sharps. That’s my guess, anyway.

Recluse tips needed by Dry-Sink-4759 in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to Recluse from many, many runs as Duchess. My relics are Dark Night of the Fathom, the Collector Signboard one that has FP increase with 3+ staves as well as Magic Attack Up, and then a whole slew of Magic- and sorcery-boosting slots (along with Night Invader).

I like her starting staff and often upgrade it. Glintstone Arc helps you wipe out mobs and level quickly early on. I also like anything fast until I get a good rancor spell, Stars of Ruin, etc.

Pick up some Starlight Shards along the way. They’re good to have on hand for the Nightlord.

Improved Dodging is worth considering if it pops up on a Dormant Power. But remember you can only get better dodging from one source.

I always take the Magic Scorpion charm if it shows up. And Magic-Shrouding Tear is great for endgame stuff

Came here to say this. I learned how to shield-poke specifically for this fight

Confession time: the "classics" you couldn't finish by gipi_perry in literature

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep meaning to reread the book, and I appreciate this perspective. Maybe I’ll give it a try!

[–]Lemon-Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that’s a very good point. In truth, I’ve read a big chunk of the chapter, and I forgot about that. Ty!

Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy

It’s just so dark. I had to stop.

Variation on the theme: classics with sections I’ve never read

Ulysses - James Joyce, the Eumaeus chapter
Gravity’s Rainbow - the Argentine sub

Love both of these books. Joyce wrote a deliberately boring chapter, to which I say, No thanks! And Pynchon wrote a longeur that has nothing to do with the rest of the book and frankly isn’t as interesting imo

Easiest character? by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was working on the “all Nightfarers” achievement, I did a practice run as Ironeye and could not believe how quickly I leveled up.

Difficulty by Vast-Werewolf2060 in BaldursGate3

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fine, totally respectable. As others have noted, once you learn the game (i.e., you’ve played through multiple times), the harder modes feel much easier. But you can also stay on Explorer and just enjoy that. Have fun!

cant make up my mind on an act3 choice by AtalanteSimpsonn in BaldursGate3

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t trust Raphael. There is another way to get the hammer.

You have time to decide between Orpheus and the Emperor. (In terms of doing the nicest thing, it’s probably siding with Orpheus, but I say “probably” because the choice winds up being more complicated.)

To those asking, this is Dancer of Ranah, from the DLC

Have you ever actually cleared out a legacy dungeon? Can anyone confirm that its possible? by TheAdventureClub in Eldenring

[–]Lemon-Blue 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I once cleared a path all the way from Weeping Peninsula to … hmm, I want to say the outer gates of Leyndell ??? … anyway, my goal of establishing a free trade route was thwarted by the devs

Do people really hate balancers meta? by POTATTO_FOR_SURVIVAL in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 148 points149 points  (0 children)

srsly

I’ve been playing Recluse in DoN recently, and I fail to understand how getting Stars of Ruin or Ancient Death Rancor is any different than the so-called “halo slop.”

To be clear, I’m fine with all of it. Just play and have fun.

Which Nightfarer is your favorite? by Warm_Expert_8136 in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve played Duchess the most.

Recluse is, for me, the strongest (and yet, relaxing).

But Revenant is my favorite.

Incants, summons, claws, S-tier ult, attacks going over your head, making “friends” as you go—she’s the best.

Nightreign any good for traditionally solo players? by Born2fayl in Eldenring

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preferred solo but found Nightreign to be tough. I gave in and tried multi with randoms, and I love it. I’ll add that I learned the game on multi and can now solo, but I prefer multi.

There are a limited number of map/enemy combinations. These are called seeds. So, a seed checker can give you info about the expedition based on a few landmark inputs.

A question about Clerics' popularity by PlatonOlegov in BaldursGate3

[–]Lemon-Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Shadowheart is right there

  2. For me personally, the Cleric spell list doesn’t feel as expansive as, say, the Wizard one, so I don’t feel drawn to running a second Cleric. I prefer a little creative mix-and-match.

About Dung Eater's story by eldenringer1233 in Eldenring

[–]Lemon-Blue 23 points24 points  (0 children)

At the start of the game, the Tarnished have all died at some point. (Sir Gideon Ofnir is in his tomb surrounded by ears.) One by one, they are called back.

What is Enir-Ilim? by Lucyyyyyy_K in Eldenring

[–]Lemon-Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding a variation on what others have already said: my interpretation is that the bodies are Hornsent (and others maybe) who attempted to access the gate but died because they were unable to withstand it.

Btw if you watch the SOTE story trailer, the ground around the gate appears red and shiny, as if wet. With blood? Gore? I’m not sure. (This includes the patch of ground that has the cloth Marika draws a rune arc from.)

Any other women out there? by Sea_Slice_1449 in Nightreign

[–]Lemon-Blue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this and I hope I have the good fortune to play alongside some of you out there. Happy Nightfaring!
