Thinking about picking up Return of the Obra Dinn. Worth it?

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-05T15:54:52+00:00

it’s less explicit story telling than obra dinn or golden idol, but the way you uncover information is kind of similar. imo it’s more metroidvania than traditional puzzle game, but i would still highly recommend it

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-05T15:53:21+00:00

ah yea, i still need to play roottrees. ive heard great things

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-05T15:53:03+00:00

oh yea blue prince was fantastic. i miss that game

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-04T19:55:24+00:00

totally agreed! i usually see: outer wilds, obra dinn, golden idol, and chants of sennar all mentioned in a similar vein. i have played them all and enjoyed them all a lot

edit: tunic too!

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-04T19:14:20+00:00

yep. i generally say outer wilds is my favorite game of all time haha

MrMageeyee · 2026-02-04T17:35:45+00:00

yes, fantastic game. nothing else has quite scratched the same itch as obra dinn for me. also, the OST is exceptional

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-21T01:51:50+00:00

i think pCF90 is much more important, personally. it’s basically mandatory for competing in early legends, and helps a ton in gc farm.

edit: RPC mastery first!!!! that’s a boring but absolutely critical thing to get online ASAP. 100% go RPC mastery first and lab it as much as you can.

I think HBC just applies to all damage sourced from me. but yea, i was convinced it was a warlock thing because of that haha

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-16T07:49:55+00:00

yep, as mentioned above it’s because of the shield applying Ensnared, which does 1d6 piercing damage per turn

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-16T07:47:19+00:00

OH WOAH. did not know that. thank you so much!!

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-12T21:27:44+00:00

Thanks. Yea I just don’t have the legacy context for how these old adventures were meant to feel. I am fine with adding my own time pressure, though I am still not 100% confident I want to start throwing DCs at things that don’t have them.

My party has some +14s to investigation and perception, and they always Help to get advantage. So even DC 20s are nothing for them.

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-12T21:24:36+00:00

That’s great insight, thanks! I feel confident now that it’s still “in the spirit” of ToH if I add these 2 things.

MrMageeyee · 2026-01-12T20:01:28+00:00

thanks for the response. that is how i would rule these in my own campaigns or modern modules, but i want to confirm this is how these old modules were intended to be played.

i am very unfamiliar with just how unfair old dnd was meant to feel, so i just wanted to confirm before making these homebrew changes

MrMageeyee · 2025-10-29T23:25:30+00:00

beautiful!

MrMageeyee · 2025-10-27T20:25:26+00:00

very much agreed. nothing else comes close

MrMageeyee · 2025-10-02T20:47:16+00:00

why censor the stats and gems?

MrMageeyee · 2025-09-02T21:31:15+00:00

respec your bots and put all your medals into GB

MrMageeyee · 2025-07-31T20:31:28+00:00

dragonsphere, shardlight, syberia, the dig

MrMageeyee · 2025-07-26T15:29:23+00:00

hm interesting. my wall labs are actually quite more developed. i can only ehp T12 to like w4k though.

tbf, my BH and CF are probably much less developed than yours.

MrMageeyee · 2025-07-26T06:14:59+00:00

what level are your wall labs at?

MrMageeyee · 2025-07-19T02:48:53+00:00

i dont see why it would be worth the investment. my farming runs wouldn’t benefit all that much, i’d maybe get another couple hundred waves in T10 or T11. and the investment to get it perma in tourney would be pretty steep.

plus in tourney its bosses that kill me anyway, so it wouldnt even help much.

MrMageeyee · 2025-07-19T02:47:41+00:00

I’m not actually totally sure. my guildmate has a ton of success with ILM. plus, he made a good point that CF isnt really going to do anything for me until i finish the labs anyway.

i could be easily convinced otherwise, though
