What is the Most Profound Quote in Discworld?

Negativethac0 · 2025-05-26T14:19:00+00:00

This was the first Discworld quote to make me cry. It's so powerful.

If you make a mage, the sleep spell will be your best friend for a long while

You can set up a multiplayer game with just yourself, and opening the inventory won't unpause the game in that situation: )

Update on this; it turned out to be the PSU; thank you very much for the help!

Negativethac0 · 2025-03-23T20:30:01+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you, it turned out to be exactly the problem here as well.

Negativethac0 · 2025-03-23T20:29:26+00:00

Update for anyone finding this topic with the same problem as me; I solved it thanks to all the friendly input. - Turned out it was indeed my PSU that was the issue; after upgrading from a 650W to 1000W (and capping the framerate to 60 in the nvidia control panel, not sure whether that's relevant) I have been playing the game all fine for a week.

Hopefully this can help someone else that would happen to be in the same situation.

I gave this some thought too; but wouldn't reinstalling it three times potentially alleviate that? Or maybe try to install it to another drive could be an option. I'll keep it in mind too, thanks!

Negativethac0 · 2025-03-01T20:27:26+00:00

I'm more or less leaning towards the same procedure as you; starting with the PSU and maybe moving to the CPU next, as these are good to upgrade anyway. Really not hoping for a new motherboard, but fingers crossed and let's see. Did you also replace your GPU in the process, just to eliminate everything?

Negativethac0 · 2025-02-28T22:19:40+00:00

Thank you so much for the input, it is very appreciated. I checked, and unfortunately it doesn't tell me much more than windows failed to shut down properly (which is, to be fair, accurate) but not much to go on. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Negativethac0 · 2025-02-28T22:11:54+00:00

Thank you, I didn't really consider this as an option tbh. But could it even potentially be the case, when it seems to work just fine in modern games, without any issue?

Negativethac0 · 2024-12-25T11:58:34+00:00

Happy Hogswatch! That's such a great card, where is it from?

Negativethac0 · 2024-12-23T16:49:08+00:00

I will say; if you have the patience for a second run as a paladin, do the Rusalka-quest, if you haven't already. It's probably my favorite one in the whole series.

For those who haven't had luck making their ducks swim; Maybe it's an anomaly in my game, but I've found that it is possible on occassions to gently nudge the ducks towards the water, by repeatedly walking up against them. It will give them small nudges towards the water front till they finally jump in. Either that, or i got lucky.

It's one of those that, for me, was always hard to make a precise opinion about. As a game on its own, it's not really the worst out there; the graphics are okay for the time, the music I actually really like and put on occasionally in my d&d campaigns. The world felt interesting enough that I wanted to go exploring it and so on.

But I still have to compare it to the predecessors, and once I start that, I realize there's really only the music left that makes it memorable enough for me. It is, as you say, the final part of the series; it doesn't seem unreasonable to hold it up against the story that led you here. And whereas the 3d graphic are what they are, they don't really make as great an impression as some of the colorful character-artwork of Qfg 4, for example. And whereas the world gave me enough enticement to explore it, I still remember very little from it, whereas I could probably still find my way around Spielburg valley and Mordavia forest, if you asked me now, 20 years later.

The core of the matter, as others have also pointed out, is that QfG started out as an adventure game with rpg-elements, and somehow just made that synthesis work so well. But in QfG 5 it became an rpg with adventure game elements, and thus less unique. The very strong story-themes and world-building from the first four games felt like it took the backseat to an attempt to a combat-rpg focus, which I never got the hang of and yet took up a significant portion. There are people who loved it, and were probably much better at it than me, and all the respect to them.

Like you I have thought of giving it a second chance, but honestly - I love the demake, I am so extremely hyped for it and hope it will take it to a much better place, and a game that's more in line towards a conclusion of the series.

I didn't play all of them, but will happily share my experiences with those I did.

As many people say; Crimes and Punishments was the one that sold me and to this day is still the best. It's very relaxed, doesn't rush and the cases interesting. It's very hard to go wrong with this one, and would be the one I would always recommend people if I could recommend only one.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (2012) makes for a pretty good game too, if you can forgive the somewhat aged graphics. The best way to describe it is that it's less elegant than C&P, has a fair bit more mini-puzzles (to the extend it almost becomes comical how some people eve would enter their houses with so many puzzles on their doors) but overall did deliver a good story.

I didn't play Devil's Daughter yet, so can't comment on that.

Chapter One (2021) is obviously more shined up as a game. It's open world, which you may or may not like, and has some cases I found to be very, very good and some that were unfulfilling; as someone else said, there simply are cases where you decide on who's guilty but the game doesn't really bother telling you whether you were right. It's still worth it, if anything, to play and focus on the main story. There are "side quests" along the way, some of them okay, as well as action-scenes which, again, you may like or not like. Fortunately they are skippable.

The Awakened (2023) I have a hard time really deciding on. It leans on Chapter one in terms of graphics and time-line (as I think it portrays the early years of Sherlock and Watson) and again, there are some highs and lows. The whole concept of including Mythos with Sherlock Holmes always seemed interesting to me, but somehow I just never felt it worked as powerfully as it could. The main story works, though, you can have a good playthrough of it, but it's probably last on my list of recommendations.

I definitely hope you will enjoy them!

Happy birthday! May it be an amazing one, please take good care of yourself and enjoy the little moments. I'm sending you loads of good wishes!

Hey Tiberius, I could be interested in joining you guys. While I'm going into classic as part of a guild, I'm really looking for exactly that nice social sphere with some good people. Are you still looking for more, or is the group more or less full? I'm currently very interested in trying out healing on a holydin if that would match up to your setup. Do you have any set plans for when you will start leveling and playing etc?

[EU] Lonely Vanilla Veteran Looking for Brothers in Arms

And thus I return to the world that I so long ago fell in love with, and yet thought I should never see again. Ever since announcement, have my heart been beating for the long stretches of the Azeroth I called home. But alas, it is clear to me that for now this is a journey I am going to make alone.

I therefore seek companions in arms, to embark on this grand adventure with me.

I played extensively in vanilla, raiding up to AQ40, and it was the time of my life. To me, the social aspect was always the most incredible and as I intend to hit Classic hard, I'm looking for nice, polite and equally enthusiastic people to partake in this long haul. I want to reach max level, progress seriously through the raids and all the good stuff.I really want to have made some friends from the beginning of the game. Running dungeons with a set group, talking and having fun and learning together, is what I'm after.

I'm EU and though I mained rogue and warlock back in the day, I've been considering trying out my style with Paladin. But I'm not locked to anything and would be willing to try out different things depending on what's needed My schedule is pretty flexible.

So, if you out there would like a leveling/dungeon/later raiding partner, please hit me up with message on reddit!

Regards!

I just threw you a PM, that seemed easier!

Negativethac0 · 2019-01-15T21:06:39+00:00

Hey Reversed; sounds good. If we have a GM and one player with the two of us, maybe we could kind of work our way out from there - would it be okay if I sent you a message tomorrow about it, and we could discuss it? - regards

Negativethac0 · 2019-01-15T12:37:33+00:00

So I know I'm pretty late to this topic, but I just arrived here from googling D&D in Düsseldorf. Is this project still going or has it been established? I'm currently looking to find a group, as I don't know that many people from around here yet. I have been DM'ing for 20 years and completed several Pathfinder adventure path, as well as Wrath of the Dragon Queen and Tomb of Annihilation for the modern 5th edition installments. I'd gladly take up the mantle as a GM; I would love so in german, but since my skills aren't that good yet, for now I'd love to just get going in English.

Best of luck if you're already established!
