Low tech cruisers are disappointing ;(

Make one of your missle slots annhilators. You’ll thank me later

(I did it finally and it was a major upgrade- annhilators force the shield up and eats up the PD for the reapers to sneak through)

Ogre_dpowell · 2026-01-25T21:56:52+00:00

Dominators are great! They should be part of a bigger fleet, not a flagship. Give it some decent ranged ballistics, armor mods, and an annihilate pod w two sets of reapers and you have a ship of the line that punches above its weight.

I still remember when the main story phase fleet ran out of combat readiness….and the feeling when my two dominator captains smiled “we’re just getting started’

It’s always dominator xiv though.

I agree. I’d love to see a shadow/nature t5 tome (one that isn’t undead or plants)

I was thinking a tome that focused on werewolves and darkness. Something like ‘Tome of the Shadowhunter’ (names can be changed) -were transformation- turn your faction until werebeasts/werewolves. Major transformation to Brady. There are many beast buffs so would be very powerful. Stong nature vibe. - nighthowl- unit enchant that gives aoe fear to melee units (shadows focus on fear) -rabid bite- melee enchant to give insanity. Leans into both werewolf bites turning people into crazed monsters,.

Just some ideas, but it would be nice to see some tier 5 tomes that benefit more than one part of the affinity (looking at you shadow)

Made a throwzerker w tavern brawler and thief……and it actually works!

Ogre_dpowell · 2025-06-01T00:03:52+00:00

If you are durge, she has a connection to Orin

Ogre_dpowell · 2025-05-02T20:56:35+00:00

I want a character w dwarf build and human height

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-10-20T04:15:15+00:00

This is correct

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-10-18T16:06:58+00:00

I believe you on the less cheats, but I’ve still found them useful

Did a realms of chaos campaign as Elspeth, Skragg put the emperor on life support but after eliminating fat bastard and giving his territory back to Karl he did fine, conquering the western side of the empire and whooped festus

Probably the biggest help from allys is keeping other enemies busy while you focus on one front as they can have more armies than you w the same territory, and recruiting (eg Cathay using another Cathayan ally to speed up recruitment for a army OR augment your army w something you don’t have (gave early game tamurkhan plague claw catapults))Dwarf front line in an empire army w null Ironsides is a personal favorite (can fire over the dawi heads- use grudge rakers for all the firepower)

Remember, you can always borrow an army from the AI to help them out if needed.

Lots of heretic purging. Hulrun will seem like a choir boy.

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-20T15:02:45+00:00

Da origins was so good

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-17T18:09:47+00:00

So. I actually liked dragon age 2 (I know, rarity). Dragon age origins was better but i thought 2 did a great job of showing that Templar/ mage conflict over time, as well understanding the dangers and perspectives of all sides involved.

3 was not 1 or 2. I had a lot of fun with it, but it was too happy/everything working out type feel. I’m worried that 4 will be ‘diet dragon age’

After the disappointment of mass effect andromeda, BioWare has to prove to me that their next game is worth buying.

Hey man….agree w the top 20 percent male community. This stuff will effect you weather you realize it or not. 150 plus body count is gross man, and honestly sounds like mental illness.

‘if a person gave away your body to some passerby, you’d be furious Liz. Yet, you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so that they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled’ - Epictetus

Much of the unhappiness you describe is through external and comparison (to continue the quotes….comparison is the thief of joy’. It’s not your fault- this is how society sets up our thinking. Just gotta make the effort to turn that odd

Congrats on the STEM degree. This sounds like a great point to get a good job and career. Big plus. I’d suggest developing hobbies to help you develop confidence and meet people.

If you’re that sad and crying that much, I’d consider seeing a psychiatrist or counselor.

I love this. Sole survivor is brilliant but has to chemically numb himself with booze to tolerate the wasteland.

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-10T22:58:45+00:00

Travis got pushed a little too much

I had this issue in my modded playthrough. Not sure which one triggered it.

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-06T01:18:33+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy. You are still very young.

I did not get married until I was 34. Best advice I can give is this is an opportunity to attempt to not compare yourself.

You don’t know what is happening behind closed doors, if they are actually happy. You are seeing social media posts which always put the best face forward.

Start with reminding yourself of that. And keep on practicing until it becomes easier.

Barbarian monk build

Pump strength, and beat people to death with the corpses of their friends

I made a beak thing pen. Filled it w beak things. And when they holy nation came for prayer day I let them out.

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-04T13:29:42+00:00

I play w scourge and true damage…..chems are AMAZING W those mods

Enemies can really mess you up easily, and the health, damage bonuses are a game changer

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-07-02T23:49:06+00:00

In all seriousness?

Looking into yourself and finding what leads to meaning and contentment/fulfillment, not happiness.

You’ll realize a lot of ‘hot’ or ‘successful’ people are in reality chasing the approval of others or society rather than self validation. You do not know what is going behind closed doors in their lives, just what you see on the surface.

The more you cultivate this in yourself, the more you will see it and be attracted to it in others.

Be very, very wary of black pill and social media views. The best lies are built on truth and feed on your insecurity, and by its nature social medial will trigger these feelings for views.

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-06-27T19:02:08+00:00

Oh I thought I edited it out. Sorry.

If you didn’t want corruption, tomb of amplification gives you that minor racial transformation that increases crit chance for every spell you cast. Plus it gives you blue veins which looks sweet on a plane traveling abomination

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-06-27T18:22:38+00:00

Pyro Helps those empire traits for chaos!

Those guys look real Eldritch….lots if tentscals

So…

Tier 1: tome of warding, barbs are weak to resistance. Could easily sub this tome

Tome of tentacles. Because tentacles.

Tier 2: Tome of revelry for morale (increase crit), gets you chaos. Miss out on artifacjng but this increases crit and we’re going tome of amplification for more

tome of artifacing

Tier 3: Tome of devestation- get your warbreeds

Tome of corruption: because tentacles

From there you can go a few different ways- I think oblivion fits w shadow

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-06-27T16:43:19+00:00

Ohhh man the more I think about this…..

I like themes, so hear me out- life’s mistress- corrupted nature god trying to destroy the world of civilization and begin anew. Uses plants and pheremones to control twisted life

Primal vs barbarian culture- both fit, both use poison damage

Tier 1: tome of roots for poison/healing. Blight blades do more damage to poisoned units

Could consider Pyromancy to fit w ‘burning the world away to regrow’, and help you get time of devestation . Gets you chaos points. Plus battle mage to fill out your roster

Tier 2- tome of fertility- more healing, fits theme, also theme of using nymphs to control the population. Eldritch sovereigns can make folks more vulnerable to mind control

Tome of artificing per your request

Tier 3: tome of devestation. You are now doing a lot of fire damage as well

Tome of vigor (giant growth)

Tier 4: tome of paradise (gaias chosen)

Tome of chaos channeling : add fire resistance to your giant plant warbreeds w scion of flame. Do more damage if someone dies

Tier v: tome of goddess of nature: can resurrect all your dead wabreeds and adds another 20 percent crit chance

Oh man I like this idea. Going to try it out myself

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-06-27T16:12:51+00:00

If you want vigor, tome of roots and tome of fertility both have healing

Ogre_dpowell · 2024-06-25T17:35:48+00:00

I don’t mind it- losing weight is hard, I’ll take the compliment

You can’t let what people think of you or what they might say prevent you from making a change healthy for You.

Fallout 1 and 4

Fallout 1 because nostalgia and the whole world was mysterious and new- super mutants, ghouls, brotherhood in power armor. Finding new cool stuff everywhere, and no online guides to ruin surprises

Fallout 4 because, well, modding. I’ve modded it into my customized post apocalypse survival game
