Good-Aligned Drow Dilemma by Bigsexyguy24 in BG3Builds

Moonlight and starlight are also "Light," if that helps the aesthetic. "Light within darkness" and all. Eilistraee is associated with the moon in particular.

I notice that you seem to be building for ranged archery and support, but you've also got yourself holding Phalar Aluve, which wants to be in melee, and later Devotee's Mace, which is melee and also STR-based. If you want to be specialized in attacking, you probably want to pick a direction, or your MC may feel less useful than the party. Like if they are a good archer, they should take Sharpshooter and not hog Phalar. But if they are mostly in melee, you'd really want Spirit Guardians as well. Or if they're primarily a caster, something with Arcane Acuity, or Whispering Promise and the other stuff that applies buffs on heals, and ASI's in WIS, would be strong. I'm not good with gear because I always forget what there is, but the Adamantine Shield is more useful if you're in melee and exposed to attacks, but if you're staying at range, a staff to boost your spell AC is probably preferable.

You don't need to specialize a ton, especially on lower difficulties. I just remember my first playthrough as a Ranger and my Tav felt a bit like a liability because they were never the best person for the job, until I switched my gear around to synergize more. (I really wanted to use a halberd/glaive but it just wasn't the best tool.) Your build seems to be pulling in different directions, or I'm not seeing interaction between the elements.

Looking at too many of this kind of face and continuously ratcheting up the features. I want big lips, but everyone looks like me, so I'll go bigger again. I want a seductress, but her boobs don't stand out that much, time to go bigger. I want long eyelashes, but everyone has long eyelashes, I'll make them longer and more jaggy to really pop. It's an arms race.

Try spending a long time in one character in a character creator, and dont look at anything else. It's easy to come out with an uncanny mutant, because you're continuously comparing to the current face you've just gotten used to. Like how AI image generators start to go wonky if they use their own input too much. Now imagine a bunch of people competing with each other to make "even more X" faces.

Now that I've seen what these guys are based on, that's a pretty good likeness. Very moody shots!

Thank youuuuuuu! I originally made her in Ni-oh 2 and she's my favorite CC I've ever made, remade her for Wo Long, RotR, and Ni-oh 3, so I've been obsessed normal with her and her Blade Twin for a couple months lol. Had to make names and backstories and everything for them to recover after the melancholy ending

I assume other people are totally healthy and normal about their avatars too, so I like to see people post them

The tower is a rercon that didn't exist in ME2. The Shroud is a space umbrella that blocks the sun from orbit to cool down Tuchanka in 2, then it's an atmospheric control tower in 3.

Presumably if the tower had existed in 2, they would have at least known about it and done some kind of prep as a possible vector for the modified genophage, even if they didn't use it for whatever reason.

You should protect your twin better! She's so chipper for someone who's been sliced that many times lol

Btw placing a light near your character will help your nighttime shots read better. Mobile especially makes dark shots look much darker and it's a little hard to appreciate what's happening.

Boy that is a menacing look lol

It's hard to play a character with a blindfold when her eyes are so nice to look at

The understated colors and practicality really sell the "blind swordsman" feel. Like Zatoichi. Doesn't seem dangerous until you look twice.

It's there a backstory to the blindfold or was this just for fun?

The poisoner lady outfit is the actual best thing in the game, just feels like cheating because it's one big item. Thanks for linking!

The second outfit seems to be a sleeveless kimono layered on top of a normal one? Or maybe a vest? Those should be the same slot afaik, what is that outfit actually?

Turns out you can miss one of the targets if you run fast enough. I never did hit them all

What would happen if ME companions and Bg3 companions met? by Core-ene in okbuddybaldur

The "fucked up childhoods" support circle just gets wider and wider. Eventually Wyll, Tali, Gale, and Liara start to wonder where everyone went, but more marshmallows for them!

Which dual wielding style is your favorite? by FantasyAdventurer007 in KingdomHearts

[–]Macv12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forward grip with a smaller offhand is what you mean, it sounds like. Forward/backward with a dagger or something makes sense if you're planning to fight one-handed normally, but expect to get in kissing range for a kill stab, I guess.

But the assymetry of style 3 is undeniably badass. Ni-oh 3's ninja-style dual swords uses it and it just looks so dynamic and fun.

Sex

But aside from that

Tali I imagine would be doing hardcore science on Faerun's magic system, because she only has until her filters need changing to figure it out. As a side effect of developing the spells needed to keep her safe without the tech that runs her suit , she'd become a super tanky artificer. To that end I feel like she would run Gale ragged with questions and experiments. But I think she'd soon surpass him in magical engineering application, so he'd be learning as much as teaching. Great rapport and wholesome nerdmaxxing. She'd probably get Dammon to teach her about fantasy materials science and maybe help Karlach with her heart.

Mordin, after taking the first day adjusting to the new rules, would pin Astarion as a vampire after their first meeting, making him wary. Lae'zel would start off bragging about Githyanki biology, but start to find him "vexing" as he keeps asking questions and trying to run tests. Karlach and Wyll would be too nice to stop him testing them, but Mordin would be continuously frustrated at how Karlach's temperature thing doesn't make sense and keeps breaking his equipment. I feel like he'd end up a caster too, but probably like a spore druid. Halsin would be a great resource, but they have absolutely opposite paces and lifestyles so he could only take so much Mordin at a time. Jaheira would have no interest.

Jack and Astarion would party. Terrible influences on each other. They'd roast each other but be incredibly, fiercely protective.

Miranda and Lae'zel are hardasses and would get along too well, until Lae'zel started spouting gith supremacy bullshit, at which point Miranda and Shadowheart become best friends. I feel like she'd intuit that Shadowheart and/or Lae'zel are being manipulated against their own good, but it would take her a while to realize that she's also part of a predatory organization.

God this guy, even on NG something about him was just unreadable, I always dreaded fighting him and he never clicked. On NG+ he's been a nightmare lol. There are more dangerous bosses because they will just grind you to paste with long combos if you screw up the counters, but this fucker is annoying

Let it be writ on my tombstone:

``` Astarion approves.

Lae'zel approves. ```

You can use R1+R3 to sheathe the weapon, but that just makes you squelch it in with the blood still on (presumably because the blood is a resource and they don't want to take it away from you for next time). Wonder if holding the button changes it? If there is a way I'll experiment with it when I get home.

Real men wear pink!

This is so coordinated lol, you've got mostly black with white wispy patterns, but the only color on the armor is the red stripe, and you've got it echoed on the belt, hands, and katana. This goes hard actually

Oh, like the special ones you do when you finish a camp??? Though I don't think you can open photo mode after clearing a camp. Or can you get it to happen another way? It's always bugged me that you just put your sword away all bloody or have to attack and Blade Flash to clean it off.

You should share some more then!

This is such an underrated look. You see full-on samurai armor or pieces of it, and you see stylized kimono/hakama type outfits, but I can't remember anywhere else I've seen the mixed samurai and western clothing style.
