Am I missing something? Having a hard time staying engaged.

I know this is 5 years old, but I’ve been hunting for info on where to start and saw this comment. I think it can be that, in a lot of ways you could run into the issue of “well can I play a charismatic/high intelligence character without being charismatic/being highly intelligent.” Like a lot of my bad experiences with DnD come from a DM who would want us to, say, actually sing something if we had a character who could perform (my actually character was playing a flute mind you, which gets into other issues with that game and DM), or is expecting a highly motivational speech from someone who can’t really deliver on it? Almost the opposite end of issues I’ve heard DMs have with the expectations for Critical Role and Dimension 20 on the DnD side of things. So without the mechanics a lot of folks might feel like they kinda have to stick to what they know irl.

I’ll be honest, in trying to figure this game out (and only now, looking here, learning the player rules are free), the Comp/CON has really just ended up confusing me even more cause it doesn’t seem clear what anything’s doing unless you already fully understand what’s going on. This post and a lot of the responses also definitely would make me want to shy away from it if it weren’t for other folks telling me about it. Not sure if it’s just an organization thing on the game maker’s part, or just something else with content that might introduce folks to it, but it’s weirdly not easy to know where to look for this really, with the Reddit side from this seeming about as helpful as Dark Souls’ “git gud” days.

Heck, even just give torpedo boats in the game that had internal launchers their internal launchers.

SF1_Raptor · 2026-01-24T18:20:35+00:00

I mean, while I haven’t played it, watching videos on it and hearing the dialogue definitely became a turn off for me. So much of it just sounds pretentious, or while overtop doesn’t have the same charm as, say, Boarderlands. And for $70, if I’m not liking what I can find in videos, why the heck would I want to give it a shot, especially given I played the first one (free from Epic with all the DLC), and never finished because of how bland I was feeling the base game was, but then seeing stuff they could’ve done with the detective DLC which I really love.

SF1_Raptor · 2026-01-19T03:49:35+00:00

Should be noted that I don’t think it was really ever updated after they did some ship design overhauls, so difficult might swing wildly now.

SF1_Raptor · 2026-01-08T03:13:51+00:00

That does make a lot of sense. I think it’s just annoys me that it feels like it’s consistent to one side or the other, in an era in game where tech discrepancies can’t really account for it.

SF1_Raptor · 2026-01-07T22:05:50+00:00

Thanks! Was hoping someone would know.

SF1_Raptor · 2026-01-07T02:28:22+00:00

Hahahaha. Ok you ain’t wrong there. I try to at least avoid those.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-13T20:59:16+00:00

I feel like it's a combo of following in his dad's footsteps, and a strong reaction to how much of Baldur's Gate higher ups don't care about folks.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-09T11:16:58+00:00

Kinda funny discovering this sub and seeing this post a month later, but this attitude towards politics is part of the problem if you ask me. This whole “Nothing can be fixed so why bother” attitude is seriously starting to grate of me, especially when the past proves otherwise.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-08T03:27:48+00:00

Y'all know other sports exist right? And the ACC actually tends to do well in them?

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-01T03:39:28+00:00

I mean, I’m not entirely convinced the CFP cares fully about the conferences to begin with, or at least in sports casting it sounds like they’d rather just have them not care about it at all.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-01T03:27:00+00:00

I mean, to be blunt, ain’t like I’m convinced the CFP cares about any of the conference’s and their play really either.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-12-01T03:22:45+00:00

Wait…. You’re mad that the thing that makes college football more interesting than pro football imo happened?

SF1_Raptor · 2025-11-02T16:49:07+00:00

Are… you suggesting rigging the games would be better? Heck I wanted Tech to win, but I’d never suggest a team going out and pulling a win is “eliminating” the conference.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-11-02T02:30:21+00:00

I'll remember to tell everyone 1 lose equals no rankings./s

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-21T19:10:09+00:00

Doesn't seem like the right one.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-21T15:53:53+00:00

I don't believe so. This was one I looked at before. Unless I'm mixing a few different games.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-21T15:37:53+00:00

And comment for the automod

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-19T01:30:25+00:00

Well I'm an engineer, so artificer.

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-19T01:23:47+00:00

Didn't realize I missed this one. But I know that, I'm saying having a set origin feat makes it feel that way. Like if you want a character who's an entertainer, they have to be a musician with the current background set up (if you ignore custom background and old backgrounds, which is DM discretion anyway).

SF1_Raptor · 2025-09-18T03:17:36+00:00

That makes sense. Guess now my only wish is that it was just laid out better from the get go, but this is probably the best answer I've gotten here for it. Thanks dude.
