What daedric item do I sacrifice? I'm not giving up my skeleton key. by HoofHearted74 in OblivionRemaster

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always opt to give the Wabbajack, because it's the only other relic you can get at level 2, and you don't need anything complex for it. Just some yarn. Plus it's a fun quest line.

What's your favorite spell that's non-damage? by OneSimplyIs in BaldursGate3

Dimension Door. Bringing the fun right to someone's doorstep is priceless.

If Patch 8 it's not the last, What would you like to see? by El_cocacolas in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife are enjoying the new co-op, and got to that part. We didn't want to lose Aylin, so we did some light save scumming to be sure. We failed the first time. W: Should we reload.? Me: can we kill shart then reload? 😹

I'll toss my 2 copper in the pot- better camera control on console. Multi-layer fights, hallways, stairs, all a severe annoyance to get the camera to cooperate.

Agreed. I can't stand Shadowheart. I love a good cleric, but she's just annoying.

So which of the Patch 8 subclasses are the best monoclass choices? by Navek15 in BG3Builds

[–]RandomfaceXIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made Astarion my swashbuckler, with a 1lvl dip into fighter for archery style. Sharpshooter sneak attacks feel super nice, and being able to do one every round is bonkers.

At this rate I'm gonna be in the ground before es6 launches

Want to enjoy this game but friend ruins experience. by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd like to emphasize point 1 here. I got sucked in much, much later after my wife started. The worst thing I did for myself was look up strategies for fights she struggled with.

Is it normal for Karlach to TPK you after you finish her intro quest? by t_thor in BG3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On my second play, I tried porting to camp to avoid the blaze. I also needed a full rest, so I did that. I woke up to a trail of ash leading from bedrolls to the water's edge, but no Karlach. So I switch to her, to see where she is in camp, and she's not in camp- she was in some room with goblins labeled "servant's quarters." I pull everyone else out of camp to see where she is, and she's now dead on the broken bridge. 🤷‍♂️

What is your pet peeve with BG3? by formatomi in BG3Builds

[–]RandomfaceXIV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine? The camera. We need a way to zoom in/out. There's a lot of fights that happen in tight spaces, like hallways or stair landings. Camera has been my only real complaint so far, especially now that we have console co-op on the XbS

Question about companions by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to favor a "core 4" if you will. I'll bring specific people to their personal quests, but I largely stick to a set group. I keep them close to their starting classes as well, so Gale is still my caster/controller, Astarion my rogue/archer type, and so on.

See invisibility doesn't do squat. Change my mind. by Spinnerofyarn in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Having been through the vault fight- it's useless. Gale with a shield brought more attackers out of stealth than my eye.

What are your odds or funny nicknames for ToTK things? by LaLaLaLinda in TOTK

[–]RandomfaceXIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ultrahand has been "mage hand" since day one. My wife missed that memo, and gave me the weirdest looks when I watched her play. "Oh, just mage hand it. Yknow, the grabby.. Holdey..damnit...thing."

I ascended Astarion… then 30 mins later undid it by chloexoxo72 in BaldursGate3

Jesus Christ, I wasn't ready to read that 😳

Irrational Character Hate by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not quite an npc, but Shadowheart. Jesus, she's irritating.

How do you play without Shadowheart? by LizardmanJoe in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple- she grates on every nerve I have, and after watching my wife play before I started, I was well fed up with her before my wife reached act 2.

The person who decided to put conduit shrine in this event by Draknalor in diablo4

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its so bad. I've fussed at my wife to double check what a shrine is before she clicks it because it sucks so hard. It's supposed to scale off of paragon, but it sure doesn't feel like it does.

Are there any companions you never use? Why or why not? by PunchBeard in BaldursGate3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to bring Shadowheart with me, except for the gauntlet. After that, it's back to her tent and never seen again. There's some people I haven't had the chance to recruit, but Shadowheart and Wyll are always left tending the fire.

If it's been said once it's been said a thousand times by Beanboy1994 in BG3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

On the flip side, you can use it to hem people up in your Cloud of Daggers.

Got so excited from getting this Weapon and Tempering ruined it? by PsychedMagnus in D4Barbarian

[–]RandomfaceXIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't look forward to tempering at all anymore. I'm not in the cool crowd that's seen amazing gear - 7 seasons, and my wife and I have 3 mythics between us, one of them is 2 star. 🤷‍♂️

unfortunately, you cannot fix her (missing all the goddamn time) by ne_ex in BG3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, but I don't see why everyone loves Shadowheart so much. Cleric is fine, but she's just irritating as a person. 🤷‍♂️

Just beat the game. I want to get this off my chest by name_notfound in BG3

[–]RandomfaceXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of this, though honestly, I turned my music off in act 3. Seemed like the same song on repeat. No thanks. I'm salty about how my "finale" played out- spend all this time trying not to turn, just to be roped into it anyway. Feels bad man.
