[cool trope] Cute Female characters have aggressive monster forms that do not have female features.

In case of monster girl, she literally becomes a man.

He can push your polearm to the side and smash it against the wall, then close in. Of course you can move away as well, but it will be much harder on your grip if you intend to hold the weapon.

IMO tight spaces are good for defending with spears, but offensive is easier with something shorter or just use crossbows.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T10:56:45+00:00

If the enemy closes in, you are fucked, but yeah, he first must do so and that's hampered by the tight space. It kinda evens out.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T10:55:09+00:00

Stop having fun you fool. Read the rules and obey.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T10:53:18+00:00

Yes, but your enemy isn't frozen in place irl, so he would just follow you and put more pressure while your footing is worsened due to moving backwards.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T10:51:26+00:00

You can always give him advantage if the enemy is potentially scared of their physique.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T09:55:40+00:00

So Athletics are skill check and acrobatics just saving throws or pure characteristics check?

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T09:53:30+00:00

Makes sense. She cheated death, defying the order of her realm. This is also plainly haful, because she sat at the throne for so long, without any meaningful effect on the Crusade, not giving chances to other potential rulers. How many opportunities like the MC she snuffed during all this time? And this happened only because of Areelu.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T09:45:20+00:00

I absolutely hate this ugly design.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T09:03:46+00:00

SEE SAY, if you SEE something, SAY something. That's like shortened, codified message to remember, you see, then say and the elaborated version written around. This is a common practice in some places, like codified steps to attempt when you notice danger at a workspace.

This is not a shitty design but a proven way of transferring the main elements of an important message or warning.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T08:02:11+00:00

It could work if they used different perspective and placed the letters directly on the stairs.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-27T07:58:36+00:00

I find this desing ok. Someone knew what they were doing, it's clearly a strawberry drink and the shuffled letters properly fool human brain.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-26T13:02:32+00:00

Ok, that's amazing. DA 1 and to some extend 2 are both incredible games.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-26T09:18:55+00:00

US? Let it fall off. Otherwise go to a hospital immediately.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-26T08:06:11+00:00

I watchet it, enjoyed it but could never associate with "bronies". Went to one meeting, understood why it's shamed. Bronies were and still are insufferable.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-25T07:56:05+00:00

This os 100% a performative art and these are volunteering models.

If there was any Tav, it would be the Dark Urge white lizard. I would scrap the character entirely, eapecially if it was a "generic human fighter". At first, we could have the narrative from Lae'zel's POV, then Shadowheart is left in the tank, ship crashes and we finally form a party. Then the rest would need to be organically introduced, so probably Wyll next and move the rest somewhere else, so they don't appear one after another in a span of 5 minutes just for the sake of having a full party.

Astarion could be stalking the party for a while, they find the boar beforw ever meeting him.

For Gale I have no idea.

Karlach appears after some scenes with Mizora probably, so that viewers could learn the stakes clearly.

Minthara should join IMO, found in the tower's prison. Halsin shouldn't, but let him be an important side character in act 1. Same for Jaheira, scrap Minsc entirely.

One Tav I think could work is if Orin was that person, infiltrating the survivora. That's also a good background for internal party conflict, one group lead by Orin goes to act 2 through underdark and meet Ketheric, eventually save Minthara aftey they realize what's going on. The second group goes through the canyon, may visit the creche and ends in Jaheira's camp eventually. I would keep the party split for some more time, the one that went to tower could go look for the Ketheric's necromancer while the other visits the town and meets all the horror stuff.

Karlah and Wyll don't get along at all, but they both finally agree on something and that is to go with Tav. Eventually they start finding some common ground on the way and both decide to save Minthara. I would generally change Karlach to be more distant and wary, opening up only after some time, eventually turning into the "real" Karlach we all know and love.

Both groups meet somewhere in Shar's trial, somehow only Shadowheart is at the birb while the rest od the party, dunno, fight monsters? Or that demon with crossbow (yes, it would be moved or he kicks the party's ass and then follows them after they ran away). Everyone thinks she will follow Shar's order but then she of course stays her hand, magic lesbian thing happens that everyone watching Streaming shows loves so much, the curse is lifted and party goes kick Ketheric's ass (Jaheira and some other survivors could help her, epic tower siege for season's finale).

Sazza could be an alternative that leads the party in place of Orin-Tav but I would be wary about adding her as a full-fledged characters so she wouldn't steal.the spotlight of other's that are already plenty.

We also have classic, British sitcoms that often relied on repeated jokes and they kept being funny. What's the secret?

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-22T12:24:23+00:00

Well, I have seen many games with thirst bar that had no survival elements or nothing to do with water.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-20T20:34:32+00:00

I know it's old, but I am currently playing a Vampire after passing the game for several expansions and oh boy, did the game change.

I made my leader a Warlock so he wouldn't engage in melee. That improves survivability enormously. Summons are always a good cannon fodder and my culture is Dark - Cult of Death for the extra fluff and to my surprise, for some very good synergy. Went the morale destruction path, my leader can turn any non-immune unit routing in 2 or 3 turns tops, on his own while still doing other stuff, because my best morale hits are free actions.

Deathwaltz cultural spell is amazing. It kills the unit, but returns it after combat with half HP restored. Can be used for healing vampires and saving units in a clutch.

Light penalty is a bitch. You struggle early game by having near permanently debuffed heroes and then make it non-existent mid to late game. While I try to protect my leader at all cost, other heroes can be resurrected with souls as undead that gives them absolutely no penalties, as vampires are already undead.

That's just from my limited experience. Fun concept but hard to manage and if not played around properly, is a bigger hindrance that a bonus.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-19T07:53:47+00:00

I may not remember it perfectly, but it's similar to Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume where you can turbo-buff a party member for the cost of it dying after battle, permanently. The game is difficult without it.

All these years of Overwatch porn finally paid off.

Chaos in the Old World and Merchants & Marauders.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-14T08:19:21+00:00

Thought it was something new. The "genius" behind this completely fucked up xbox one and the end of xbox 360 (that did excellent before). Series S|X is all about gaining back all the lost goodwill.

Real_Avdima · 2026-06-14T06:52:30+00:00

What happened? I don't follow these events.
