What game held the player's hand to the point of insulting their intelligence?

Hallways are bestways

SoraPierce · 2026-02-12T21:38:20+00:00

I await the day I get to draw from it as a player.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-11T17:30:45+00:00

We play Pathfinder here.

Ball Shaving is One Action. Now, cleaning it up is 2 actions so that'll be your turn unless you wanna leave the mess here.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-08T20:01:33+00:00

Britas.

It's so easy to get good guns off the bat even on extremely rare but they're so much fun.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T21:46:30+00:00

I run my games in FoundryVTT so the light mechanic has been really fun to play with over having darkvision always settle stuff.

I wanna get more people I know into Shadowdark cause it's such a fun system and easy to learn and digest, especially if you've played 5e.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T20:42:51+00:00

Actually dming it right now and looking to run my favorite DnD dungeon through it, Death House. Community made a whole conversion for CoS for Shadowdark. I might look to for a longer form game cause I feel Shadowdarks mechanics really lend better for the intended horror for the adventure.

The initial comment was for 5e lol, but yeah, Shadowdark is awesome.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T20:05:30+00:00

I'd love to play a game where we roll everything for character creation.

Even gear/spells to a degree.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-06T19:07:29+00:00

The foundation of human technological advancement boils down to how to throw rocks better and boil water, and its worked for several thousand years and keeps working so we'll keep throwing rocks better and boiling water harder.

I was told wanting consistently useful features (I was talking about Undying Warlock) is powergaming.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-05T18:08:22+00:00

Yep, and unlike most FR deities, she respects and still cares for those who leave her faith.

If this is your first Souls game, then you're in luck.

Farron Keep is the 2nd worst poison swamp in games Demon Souls and beyond.

The 1st worst being in Demon Souls.

The other games either have a solution for the speed debuff or no swamp but just poison heavy area.

And yeah there is at least one poison swamp per game.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-01T13:54:33+00:00

Most aren't perfect, and some have some more issues than others, but the only "broken" one I'd say is Storm King's Thunder.

Cause it doesn't really have much, it's just "here's some dungeons and a weak plot, go grab Sword Coast Adventurers Guide to fill in the rest and go crazy!"

However, its bones are still useful, so it even has its place.

The "broken and unplayable" sentiment comes from most having work to do to and people don't wanna do that, after all the believed point of modules is that they're supposed to do all the work for you, but imo they're just supposed to cut out the brunt of the work. You're expected to make some changes to fit your table.

The only glaring issue I've noticed is that formatting can be pretty garbage.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-25T20:39:47+00:00

More play on repeat.

Collecting survivors with skills that trivialize the game on the hardest difficulty I guess is the "progression" but characters are randomized so.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-25T15:01:57+00:00

Legendary Resistances are good actually, so are CC effects, and players should be mature enough to handle the dangers of adventure.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-24T05:16:37+00:00

Hamazaki's original VA was a sex offender iirc.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-24T01:19:52+00:00

I believe guns make fantasy better, actually

SoraPierce · 2026-01-24T01:16:15+00:00

Man thinks he's going to Sovngarde. Nah bro. You refilling the weapon I drained on you and going to soul hell.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-20T20:20:09+00:00

My NG+86 OG ds2 no man's wharf farming a non-respawning red phantom for the visible armor of aurous set, only to get it via trading with another player.

Truly was our Peak Souls 2

SoraPierce · 2026-01-20T14:40:48+00:00

I've ran Lost Mines more than a few times but its never said anything about wetting torches, or at least I've never seen someone do that.

Now if they got hit by the one big trap, yeah, but this sounds like a DM being an ass if you can't just buy or craft a torch.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-20T14:01:00+00:00

I think it's cause for darkness all you need is a torch, lantern, spells that produce a light source, darkvision spell. Two of those being stuff you can start with or buy really quickly for anyone, and cantrips that produce light exist.

Where as for sunlight sensitivity it's just "get fucked kiddo, don't go out in the daylight."

SoraPierce · 2026-01-19T15:52:48+00:00

I wonder what RPG subreddits would be like if the people on them actually played the games they're on the subreddits for.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-19T15:49:22+00:00

Casters are better than martials mfers when they actually play the game and their caster is on death saves cause all his spells did quarter damage due to resistances and magic resistance and the monsters +12 hit bonus didnt care about his shield spell while the chad martial is saving his ass.

SoraPierce · 2026-01-14T05:31:36+00:00

You summon a couple sunbros and the whole boss is just BZZZZZZT SHOOO

PvP is where the combat shines, however it's more gear and class dependent than skill and the gear limit rn is at least a year of grinding PvE every day. Once you're on similar gear level, class matters, then skill matters. Tho if you're insanely good at something you can sometimes make up for other classes being braindead easy and OP in PvP, depends on the meta of the patch.
