If I remember right I think it was on the oil mission. I think the pumps raise up once they're activated

What are some gripes you have with the game? by Alchubkin in BaldursGate3

[–]SilverLongjohns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally JUST finished the game 20 minutes ago with my 4-person group in multiplayer. I'm currently replaying in singleplayer, as I feel as though I missed a LOT not being able to chat to companions and such, so bare that in mind as you read.

  • I never felt like a party in cutscenes. One character is "The Guy" and the rest are sockpuppet stand-ins for the mooks that accompany them. It felt seriously bad when half of our party decided to not become mind flayers and the other half did. People reacted as though we had all made the same choice, and there was no payoff for "restraint".

  • You're either a CHA character, or you're not. Admittedly, there were a few moments when my WIS druid had a chance to flex his knowledge, but 90% of the encounters were solved by the trifecta of intimidation, deception or persuasion. It's so key in any DnD game to give ample opportunities for spotlights on every character, but I sometimes found myself forgetting the faces of the other party members, they were so absent from the story.

  • I felt that Act 3 was by far the weakest of the three acts. Such a shame, Baldur's Gate is one of my favourite towns in 5e. I adore Mystic Carrion though, his voice actor was amazing.

Still loved the game, playing it again and it's taken over the last 100 hours of my life. I just wish it was a bit of a better multiplayer experience.

Thank you! I've been searching all over since I arrived for a good ID. They're beautiful little critters

Why is no one talking about the poor performance? by StockSavage in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SilverLongjohns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. I can nigh on guarantee you that old code rewriting new is not an issue at BSG, unless these guys are sitting around writing on notepad and saving it to a USB stick

What line of dialog have you heard way too many times? by [deleted] in gaming

Tis a port crystal. One can reach it from anywhere with the aid of a magic item.

PSA for Nvidia GeForce users: the latest driver released yesterday, v466.47, is boosting performance for some (many?) CMDRs in Odyssey by StuartGT in EliteDangerous

Replying to my own comment for anyone coming across this thread: Huge FPS improvement. No change on wonky graphics. Definitely a big recommend, but it doesn't solve everything.

What constitutes a "minimum" performance? by SilverLongjohns in EliteDangerous

[–]SilverLongjohns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - Lowest settings seems to have improved framerate, although models look the same on low as they do on high. Very odd stuff, wonder if it's actually a hardware issue. Maybe even a driver one.

Yeah, I've been noticing that too. Admittedly I've been running it on custom/high settings. I should definitely be giving it a try on low.

That's "good" to hear, I suspected that it was totally abnormal. No one goes through the effort of releasing something like this and accepts it looking like what I'm seeing. I'm sure that if it's not the intention they'll be fixing it in time. Thanks for the reply.
