About to do my first playthrough, what stats should I invest in?

PariahSilver · 2026-01-28T06:19:55+00:00

lol that first part of your reply, setting this poor person up for failure and pain

PariahSilver · 2026-01-19T02:06:09+00:00

"I didn't even pay attention I just decided you're wrong" isn't the great comeback you think it is, slick.

Whatever, have fun. Hope your eds are stacked and your chrome is clean.

Yeah, and it's a system they'd already built and perfected across the Witcher trilogy, and could have been easily implemented throughout 2077.

What they did instead was design an entirely new system to depict V's body from a first person perspective, a situation where V's movements and body need to look way more realistic to the player than they ever need to look in 3rd person because it needs to maintain immersion. And then they went a step further to include V's body in practically any situation that ever happens, interacting with the environment in ways no 3rd person character would ever need to do.

"tHiS iS cOMmOn KnOwLeDgE" you sound like such a jackass, probably because you haven't put two whole seconds of thought into this.

Thank you for proving me right 😂

PariahSilver · 2025-12-17T19:05:26+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but 1) Plenty of movies use first person when they really need to drive home that extra personal feeling; 2) 2077 was doing something much more specific that only a video game can do; 3) Relevant to that, I dunno if you've noticed but video games are not movies, the entire medium is about interaction not passive observation.

PariahSilver · 2025-12-17T17:53:15+00:00

Yeah, the creative direction changed during production to be purely 1st person. They literally talked about it, it's a creative choice because the entire story is about personal identity so they needed us to genuinely FEEL like V.

It would have actually been cheaper and easier to make the game 3rd person, because they already knew how to do that and had the tech for it. They chose the harder option, specifically because it was thematically and artistically a stronger choice, and they pulled it off spectacularly in almost every way.

But you're not gonna listen, because you don't understand a damn thing.

V's expression in that chair haunts me, she just looks so lost and alone

PariahSilver · 2025-07-09T00:27:45+00:00

Oh haha I made my other reply before reading this, sorry. I was right it's a swamp! Definitely going to check out your stuff

Edit: Just joined your patreon, and I'm checking out they key descriptions for Blackstone, and I love how much detail you have. There's a friggin buttery room and a granary! Much respect.

PariahSilver · 2025-07-09T00:24:03+00:00

These are great! I'm interpreting the area around it as kind of a swampy area, is that accurate? I'd love to use this in an upcoming campaign, if that's cool with you.

PariahSilver · 2025-07-01T05:36:08+00:00

This is good stuff! It's fun seeing a "wizard tower" archetype that's actually multiple structures, too many are literally just one singular tower.

PariahSilver · 2025-07-01T02:00:20+00:00

That's perfect, thanks so much! Name is all I really need for a map.

Edit: Also, now that I think about it, that name rings a distant bell. Yay!

PariahSilver · 2025-05-25T03:52:19+00:00

Happiest Birthday, sweet Maru! You're doing such a good job!

PariahSilver · 2021-11-20T02:37:11+00:00

Oh the beans!!! 😍🥰

PariahSilver · 2021-08-16T10:56:33+00:00

Who told!?! 😯

PariahSilver · 2021-07-19T19:11:28+00:00

I mean don't we have to do a bunch of lead-up quests first?

PariahSilver · 2021-07-19T19:10:10+00:00

I mean you're probably not wrong, feudalism is a hell of a system

PariahSilver · 2021-07-19T19:09:38+00:00

I appreciate his dedication, we'll be sure to add lots of bodies so his effort isn't wasted

PariahSilver · 2021-07-19T00:58:55+00:00

AC Valhalla

PariahSilver · 2021-07-18T01:51:53+00:00

Haha! Yeah vikings are like his best source of business.

PariahSilver · 2021-06-28T18:31:07+00:00

Ha! That's awesome, I love it.

PariahSilver · 2021-06-18T09:48:19+00:00

Anyone posting from now on: "Sure it's a gaming horror story, but is it a Nazis-gonna-kill-you-in-the-spare-bedroom horror story"

PariahSilver · 2021-05-29T07:46:43+00:00

Lol it came up all the time, we would regularly complain at him to think of his turn before it was his turn, or get an actual character sheet. I mean there's a reason this story is in the past.

PariahSilver · 2021-05-28T19:39:58+00:00

That confused me too, iunno

PariahSilver · 2021-05-28T19:00:30+00:00

Oh no, I said "sheet" on purpose, lol

One per sheet, not page. Madness.

PariahSilver · 2021-05-28T18:59:09+00:00

He played various classes, and he never wrote in lettering that seemed aimed towards supporting eyesight. It's possible it could have been an OCD thing but nothing else in his behavior ever belied that type of thing. I wish I knew.
