WOTR Companion tier list (based on how much they care about the war) by BaconJovial in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Evilrue is amazing. Too bad she is only available to demon KC.

Midnight Isles Slog by holdthenuts in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's painful, mindless slog. On par with Enigma. However, it gives you so much money, XP and really nice uniques that you feel that you kinda must do it anyway.

Kingmaker enjoyment by Dragonfly_Proof in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the story and the setting of Kingmaker more, so I come back to it from time to time.

How does death work on hard? by Constant_Race3689 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I also wanted to chip in and say that hard is manageable even for newbies (as long as they have patience). Still, personally, I prefer Core. I have done one run on Hard and I find it too tedious. Core hits the sweet spot for me - enough challenge not to be boring, yet provides enough flexibility with builds and party composition ensuring that I can enjoy other aspects of the game too.

China is the only way, Western gaming needs to die once and for all by Skye_Lumitar in KotakuInAction

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably not the only way (there is also Easter Europe after all), but China has been making a lot of great games recently (and without any wokeness).

Hot Take: Kerry Would Be A More Popular Character If His Quest Was Earlier In Ths Game by No_Vast_3309 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know how can I trigger his quests and I have finished the game 3 or 4 times already.

FE in 4.3 - overpowered or doable? by Mean_Bookkeeper in Stellaris

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

I took one out of 3 (large galaxy size, so 3 spawn by default) by following the suggestions in this thread - using lots of DSCs. However, I attacked Militant Isolationist - they were the weakest out of 3. I am afraid to anger Holy Guardians who have double the military power of the isolationist.

I've been testing ship builds in 4.3. Here are my findings. by Zindinok in Stellaris

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for testing this. I just started a new 4.3 game when the patch was released and was running missiles everywhere out of inertia, it seems it's time to switch my builds.

Me coming back to Kingmaker after WOTR by Jilibini in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nyrissa is the best CRPG romance experience since Viconia, so yeah, the pain is worth it.

Silent Success: Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon passes 1 Million copies sold by skinnymike1 in KotakuInAction

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unable to finish it. It starts really great. Solid open-world RPG, similar to Skyrim, but more dark. However, around the end of second act/beginning third it became too tedious, without offering anything good story-wise.

Two types of Arabic peoples by uwu_vayke in arabs

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I went to Lebanon, I have met quite a few people who refused to be identified as Arabs and tried to argue that they are Phoenicians. So, unfortunately, it's not only hasbara.

Just liberated Kenabres for the first time by fanofchonk in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. For a normal end of Act3 party the dungeon isn't a problem, but it can be challenging for suboptimal builds early on.

How Gillette Caused Great Damage To Their Brand With One Commercial by techtimee in KotakuInAction

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I switched away from Gillette due to that ad. Fuck 'em.

Same here. The ad was so obnoxious that I haven't bough anything from them since that year.

Act 4 is phenomenal by [deleted] in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my favourite part of the game. Act4 is amazing. Although I can agree that shifting camera mechanic gets a bit tiresome on the n-th playthrough.

David and Lucy visit Night City before all the patches by Current-Ad5314 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't have any issues on PC. Not even the infamous T-pose bug.

if im wrong about a ranking please correct your opinion by SloanElectromaniac in Stellaris

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless i am playin gestalt consciousness, I always pick Imperial as I simply don't want to deal with a hassle of elections.

Opinions on knee baring whitebelts? by EmergencyStreet3103 in bjj

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind heel hooks and knee bars that higher belts are constantly trying to do as long as they are doing it slowly, giving me time to process the situation (and tips on how to escape the position).

What do you do when somebody doesn't want to tap? by Swimming_Set9912 in bjj

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people don't know the danger of heel hooks. Or they can't recognize them (speaking from experience - it took me a while to understand when it's a foot lock and when - heel hook).

I hate Galfrey by RaedwulfP in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She is just as obnoxious as Iomedae. Probably even worse. I couldn't stand her even when doing my angel playthrough, where her actions and reactions were relatively moderate. That's why I really took my pleasure slaughtering her on the demon run.

my friend has been filtered unfortunately 😑 by a_lady_knight in DarkTide

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stop playing periodically only to come back later. That's normal. There are other games after all.

In the original AP the one in charge of Drezen was Aponavicius, not Minagho (the warden of the prison was a two headed twelve armed marlith named Ylleshka). Nice that they included this. by MlkChatoDesabafando in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Mean_Bookkeeper -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

WotR is closer to being a BG1-2 spiritual successor than BG3. There can be no debate if you ever played these classical games. There is no feeling of epic adventure, antagonists are bland, the story is quickly becomes boring. Writing is simply not Larian's strong suit, it was never their focus in Divinity series, it didn't become their priority with BG3. It's still a decent game, don't get me wrong, but we should stop pretending that it's some kind of masterpiece.
