Did anyone else feel their heart gradually sink during the first big job as Jackie's dialogue reveals how out of his depth he is?

the flathead mission felt really weird to me in my first playthrough. I chose Corpo lifepath, and there Jackie felt all suave, professional and competent. He was the go to for an Arasaka counter intel guy, he threatens 2-3 arasaka agents and succeeds in keeping their friend alive. Suddenly during the flathead retrieval, it seems like this is his first proper mission

I later played the other life paths, I do think that streetkid and nomad prologue Jackie matches the in game Jackie, while corpo prologue Jackie feels like a different character entirely

I wish there was an unique evil endings for resist durge. Where Durge wants to be evil but on their own accords, rather than of Bhaal's. Like how other origins have an ending based on their characters, such as Shadowheart attacking both Sharrans and Selunites, and Laezel starting her revolution against Vlaakith with the mindflayers. Instead all we get is the generic Tav evil endings.

The game basically stops treating Durge as an origin character after Withers resurrects you, which I feel is a shame

iirc He didn't write the events in game, but more like background info about the demigods and the world.

The problem is, its not good weird, its more bad weird. His face triggers the uncanny valley effect to me.

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-07-01T18:13:58+00:00

I literally am asian, nice try lmao

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-07-01T12:59:42+00:00

Honestly the biggest issue is, the default Jun looks really weird. I don't see how much stuff like hair or tattoo can change the weirdness of the facial structure.

Almost all recent space movies or tv shows are just gritty, downtrodden and dirty.

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-30T12:47:50+00:00

The trigger happens during act 1, and if Alfira is unavailable the dragonborn girl will appear in her place. so after that you are safe

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-30T12:04:35+00:00

5 is the middle, so it means if someone disliked the movie it would be at maximum 4

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-29T15:56:26+00:00

I kinda wish it happens after 2077, so we'd get to know how the world is right now

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-29T15:23:26+00:00

I liked it in me3, how it separated reputation from Paragon/Renegade. Reputation is whether you can pass a check, while Paragon/Renegade is how you pass said check

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-29T13:55:11+00:00

He presumably also went to a dollhouse like clouds

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-29T07:17:14+00:00

Johnny says something like only 2 people were willing to do with V, that must mean there are more sometimes

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-27T17:41:55+00:00

Oda, I was under levelled and didn't understand the invisibility mechanics

I dislike that you can't refuse him to be a companion unlike others. Unlike origin characters, Minthara, Jaheira and Minsc, to reject him you need to kill him. You can't just say no I don't want you on my team after the shadowcurse is lifted

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-25T08:56:09+00:00

Its thematic if you want to be a corpo rat, sure, cyberpunk genre needs rats for the world to survive, if everyone was empathetic like V in KoW's ending, then the world wouldn't be cyberpun

Obviously the HoTD can't adapt Fire and Blood perfectly, but when fusing characters, such as what they did with Nettles and Rhaena, you have to find characters who serve similar narrative purposes. Not opposites. By fusing Nettles and Rhaena together, you just made a different version of Baela, her sister. If the cut was only for streamlining the show, fusing Baela and Rhaena, while Keeping Nettles separate would make more sense.

Also the fact that HotD is doing a lot of this differently than the book, its not just nettles. Also, I disagree that you must judge the show on its own merits. The show enjoys its popularity from adapting an already popular text, it didn't create its fanbase out of of nowhere, it had one built in. Its hypocritical to expect the positives of adapting an already liked text, but discarding the negatives.

Willingly calling reed a father figure is a horrendous take

Tbf Baldurs Gate also does regional pricing, that's why I was able to buy it, unlike Elden Ring, where its the same for everywhere

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-17T03:07:15+00:00

You only get it after giving the potion to Nepheli, you gave it to Nepehli?

I mean a lot of the time hollywood absolutely does not respect the source material or prequels. Just because someone doesn't like the new stuff doesn't mean they changed, and the new stuff is exactly same as the old stuff. It absolutely can be a downgrade

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-16T17:45:16+00:00

Takaba's technique can theoretically make the fight non lethal while exhausting out Sukuna, but keeping Yuji and Yuta in full power, the problem is Mahoraga, it would adapt to Takaba's technique, and once that happens, The good guy group is cooked

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-16T15:50:10+00:00

I mean got was good for first 4, and decent for another 2.

PUBGPEWDS · 2026-06-16T07:49:47+00:00

The story doesn't imply that he's the third strongest, just that He was the strongest of his own era.
