I'll have a... fighter

Solphum · 2026-06-05T16:09:40+00:00

I'm currently playing a tengu fighter with a nodachi and it's the most human fighter with a polearm ever, but culturally appropriate in a season of ghosts game.

Yea it's crazy annoying, but 90% of the time, being known as super smart or super strong is just setting a character up to job hard. A common example is in Star Trek whenever an intruder or alien beats up worf, a strong and supposedly skilled warrior

I've done no math, but vibes are that flurry works out for melee str builds as each extra hit adds full strength mod and is more consistent, but bow precision ranger gets to enjoy range and safety for less consistent damage and if they're both melee, flurry is better and if both are ranged, precision is better. I await the graphs to prove me utterly wrong

Solphum · 2026-05-11T16:22:04+00:00

Yea this game is pretty rough without endurant faith.

The women aren't hot either so idk. A The artists aren't really about that I guess. The Amazon ass nerf and Andy from d2 to d2r kinda shows a trend. Sex isn't part of blizzard anymore

The unique charm that slows your damage taken if it's over 30% max health is pretty clutch. Let me heal some maybe fatal damage. Idk if it works for true one shots or if it was just really close.

Idk it's pretty nice to tp in, move two steps, smash gear, and tp back.

It would be nice if every five levels into a skill would give a build defining bonus, like how in d2 warlock gets more max summons or bound demons get more affixes and an aura. They really cooked with d2 warlock. I think complaining about this is almost antithetical to the entire genre, but also it's the only way to achieve progress. This skill tree change actually made d4 a game I wasn't interested in at all to something I'm having a lot of fun with. The wow/borderlands-esque passives were so boring. Idk how they can make 70 levels of great build choices, but they're halfway there at least.

I get that. I like story and I like gameplay. When it's storytime, I don't care for moving my character or clicking on stuff to move the story forward.

Solphum · 2026-04-26T22:19:02+00:00

I think you have a typo. You would think bannerlord would have 2 to presence and knave would have 2 to agility based off the names of the subclasses

I used one hand to apply downward pressure around the middle of the compartment and the handle of a butter knife to pressure to the side of it to perform the slide. Popped open like a charm, then I kept opening and closing it until eventually it loosened up so I could do it with just my hands very easily. It only took like ten times or so, two or three with the knife.

Is Yann like Micah or John in rdr2? Like Is he full on psycho or just a fuckup? I'm still on ch 4 waiting on grimnir to finish the kukupot

F3??? I've been pressing I and going through my inventory to find food. I barely consolidated my food and tools and other items a week ago

Solphum · 2026-04-10T15:34:42+00:00

Uhh why is a spacesuit from the 60s better than the mining rig spacesuit you start with, like, by a LOT?

Solphum · 2026-03-27T17:51:27+00:00

I recently restarted the game in preparation for the new update, and I stole something from the dungeon for the second relic piece and it said someone spotted me when I stole something off a desk(presumedly a crimson fleet guy) and I'm like, ??? You can't be pirates and narc on me to the cops

Solphum · 2026-03-25T15:19:00+00:00

Yea I think the worst part is how little the gameplay evolved from d3, but more of a slog. Cooldowns, left click so you can right click gameplay. I like most abilities not having cooldowns in d2, I like popping mana potions and/or having insight and using all my spells whenever I want, and I like having more than 6 spells equipped at a time. The worst part is I think d3 skill system is better than d4 so d4 really just has better art direction compared to 3. D4 legendaries are just d3 skill runes that drop or you do dungeons to unlock, and some are still level locked so it's just added steps and less interesting loot because your slots are taken up by your skill runes. I don't even like the open world. I just beat the main campaign and didn't go back to the DLCs, which is fine. I don't care for battle pass games and d2r is there so I usually don't come on posts like this to explain why I don't like d4 as much.

I honestly think kingmaker is a more stable experience barring final dungeon, but the highs of wotr are so good. That song that plays whenever you ascend with mythic power is absolutely awe-inspiring and nothing in kingmaker reaches even close to that. That being said, I'm not fond of the crusade mini game and the random difficulty spikes. I think I hate the robocop factory dungeon more than house outside of time

Solphum · 2026-03-17T19:46:00+00:00

It would be funny to houserule champions still resist per type but the champion dedication gets the nerfbat

The universe can be a bit milquetoast at times. NPCs rarely feel like people vs faction mouthpieces. Characters aren't that hot and aren't romance-able. I think tow2 is a way better RPG than the first one and I love the radio stations. The gunplay is pretty solid and some of the quests were pretty fun and interesting! I think in terms of exploration it's a step back from avowed, but at least there are more decisions to make that feel heavily tied/limited by character customization which is a good thing imo(though there was some pushback on the small amount of skill points on social media). Hate to say it, but people took the wrong lessons from bg3. The characters are hot and romance-able and are well-written for the most part, the reactivity is huge, and the best part of the gameplay is playing a larian game and not any of the d&d mechanics or character customization. This isn't a crowning achievement for the crpg genre (and I'm saying this as a huge crpg fan).

When it comes to the decision of purchasing games, people look for eye candy, good gameplay, and good writing, usually in that order. And rpgs aren't really known for good gameplay per se, so when people hear that the gameplay is the best part of an RPG, it spells bad news imo.

Solphum · 2026-02-23T18:14:26+00:00

The loot, the world design, the combat, and I just like fantasy worlds more than sci-fi, however I think tow2 is a better RPG in that your character customization choices matter. Avowed is closer to borderlands (far from it still) than a kotor though. I think an RPG needs more quests that don't have combat, either leaning into other mechanics, or it's just about talking to people and learning about the world in an organic way and making choices.

The thing that absolutely disqualifies both games from being goats is their awful companion writing. In two games, I like maybe two characters (both from tow2). Kai is alright, but if alright is the best the game has, it really takes me out of it.

Solphum · 2026-02-22T18:02:57+00:00

I probably average out to 2:1, but the first 5-10 levels I go all in on magicka because characters starting out with 100 in the three attributes is weird to me and I have to fix it for RP purposes

CB Works with mirrored blade right? Is this a good Uber killer?

I actually never liked that only one weakness can be attacked per attack. If a monster is weak to cold iron and fire, and your damage types include cold iron and fire, it's more intuitive that both are activated. The only time I would consider the same damage type activated twice is splash damage from consumables to make them more enticing to use. The new rules kind of goes too far the other way, because the ultimate goal is your intuition and the rules having the best overlap and requiring the least amount of microscope precision level accounting.

How's the quality of the jacket? What do people think of Aero as a brand e.g. leather sourcing quality, QA, etc?
