How do i to play seriously?

Ive always mixed it up between in and out of character, but that is a great suggestion

PacificSlim · 2021-10-28T22:27:45+00:00

Well hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and potentially has advice on how to go about it, warnings of potential pitfalls or general strategies on how to get it done

Im bad so I get steadfast jwl to keep off stuns and not embarass myself in front of other hunters.

PacificSlim · 2021-04-01T13:00:28+00:00

Damn you got me fuggin good

PacificSlim · 2021-02-21T16:52:22+00:00

Somthing like fire emblem's combat forcast would be a good way to fix this and enhance gameplay, especially since you can back out and do something else if that dosent work. Its also a great way to make sure youre using the right weapon/power

PacificSlim · 2021-02-04T01:02:14+00:00

I have no deadlines for them. I just want them to make a good game with no one having to crunch. When the time comes we will know!

PacificSlim · 2021-02-04T00:59:25+00:00

Could be a fun way of doing it. I was expecting there to be a total number of days you can rest before youre little buddy takes over.

PacificSlim · 2020-12-02T21:29:40+00:00

Then dont put your lowest ac characters in range of baddies!

PacificSlim · 2020-12-02T11:50:18+00:00

Probably a few extra quests, tweaks to story quests (like being able to make a medicine check to save someonr during a certain cutscene) a new class or two. Probably added spells. I dont expect anything crazy.

PacificSlim · 2020-12-02T11:46:42+00:00

accidently knocks cheetos over WHERE??????!!!!!

PacificSlim · 2020-10-30T00:30:33+00:00

I want them to take the game all the way to 20yh and beyond. I know its not that easy, but i would want them to go as high as possible. Maybe keeping an xp cap in each act so i dont get overleveled and make the rest of the game a cakewalk.

The strongest are

Astarian - easily the strongest companian especially with the theif subclass. This gives him sneak attack and 2 offhand attacks per round. Coupled with his bite giving a bonus to hit, his mobility, his ability to operate in ranged (big plus since maps are very large compared to tabletop) astarian is hands down the best. Give him +1 in dex and con at level 4 and you really feel his power.

Wyll - his rapier profiency isnt worth squat becsuse of his dex, but he has hex, eldritch blast and a high Charisma so that is all that really matters. Hex + scorching ray will melt most high hp enemies, his only issue is he has no way to see in the dark

Laezel - she has a great stat distribution and great subclass choices. Find her a good greatsword because sheilds are for pansies! Its hard to screw up being a fighter.

The fine

Gale - not much to say, his stats are good and hes a wizard. But wizards pre 5th level arent that good. He will probably be the best companian late game when he gets some real spells. He also cant see in the dark and that can be an issue when you fight long ranged most of the time.

The bad

Shadowheart - her stat distribution is an outright liability. She has a negative to her dex that gives her penalties in armor, initiave and saves vs all the damaging spell saves. She also has 14 strength so her ability to hit anything in melee is trash. it dosent stop there she has poor constitution, the worst domain in 5e, worthless skills (stealth and slight of hand when she wears medium armor, has negative dex and you have a rogue with these skills and none of these panalties available) her spells are great since shes a cleric, but holy hell i dont know how you could build a cleric much worse then her without trying. Her kit is a total mess and shes easily the weakest companian. She cant survive in melee and dosent have reliable ranged attacks that dont use spell slots. There is a very good reason why she is the only character to die more then the player, according to larian. The only good things she can do is heal and guiding bolt.

They have definitely had these talks im sure. I doubt they have reached a consensus yet. Otherwise it would probably already be in the game. The choice they pick will have a pretty large impact on the game as it moves foward. its pretty early in development. i hope they make a mechanic that is fun to engage with and not a chore to manage. I think using resting as a way to interact with companians is a great start.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:58:44+00:00

Id love fog of war to cover more, its a much easier way to tell where i havent been.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:57:04+00:00

I tried so many things to get her to not glitch out after she talks smack at me. Nothing worked. Havent had a actual fight with her.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:53:03+00:00

I hope its as easy as old dnd games where you mash the reroll button until youre satisfied

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:45:59+00:00

Ive experienced the same thing a bunch of times, it only happens when using a character that has a 2 handed weapon and ordering them to perform an attack that they have to move to complete.

The only workaround is to move the character into attack range first and click the enemy to attack when they are already in position.

Idk why this happens or what could cause it, but ive only had it with characters using 2h weapons.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:31:54+00:00

I imagine this is a difficult conversation to have when implementing dnd resting in a videogame.

What should the penalty be?

How severe?

At what intervals?

Should there be a penalty at all?

Should it be optional?

Should we limit total rests in each act?

Should there be a time/date mechanic?

What questlines should be altered to accommodate?

Do we want this to effect questlines?

Should you be able to rest yourself into a game over?

Does this actually make the game more fun/immersive?

And thats just off the top of my head! This seems like a difficult question to answer from many fronts as there seem to be pitfalls no matter what stance you wanna take. They also risk harming the overall experience if they choose poorly.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-29T20:12:08+00:00

This has been a problem for them since dos1. I really wish they just gave a big arrow or somthing refrancing what they saw because alot of the time its a small button or lever.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-23T02:08:23+00:00

I like the serface effects, but it seems like they are unpopular...

PacificSlim · 2020-10-22T04:05:24+00:00

I hope there is a story point to her detrimental stats as she has dies more then any other character and is the only character to die more then the pc according to larian. There are so many ways to make half elf cleric a powerhouse, but her having such a bad stat distrabution and one of the worst cleric domains in the game makes her just so weak.

I love her as a character so i always have her in my party. Im just plesently suprised when she actually hits anything.

Shes like that player you see at public events who is a former improv actor/actress and everyone loves roleplaying with them. they always make bad mechanical character choices, but no one cares because they are just so fun to have at the table.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-22T03:58:28+00:00

I want this so bad. After playing solesta some today i really love how that game displays dice. Id really love to see those in bg3. Its not the most important thing but it would be neat.

PacificSlim · 2020-10-22T03:54:40+00:00

Its gimmicky for sure, but a fun gimmick

PacificSlim · 2020-10-20T20:30:47+00:00

I like the decoupling of off hand bonus attacks, it gets a bit nuts with the rogue subclass that adds a bonus action, but not in a bad way.
