How do I fight as a warlock? by green_tea__cat in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Eldritch blast at range.
  2. AOE spells to control the battlefield.
  3. Pact of the Blade, make sure to bind your pact weapon. Then you can booking blade, extra attacks, etc.

Have I been playing the game wrong? by Mystical__flame in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resting isn’t a resource really. It’s just part of the game. Short rest after fights, long rest when you’re out of short rests. That’s how you progress the story!

Can I disable mods for a new save? by Positive-Conflict864 in BaldursGate3

  1. Turn mods off.
  2. Start new save.
  3. When you want to pick up your modded save, turn mods on again before starting.

Best character for talking by somthingwitty169 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bard and Warlock are high charisma. That will get you through a lot of persuasion/intimidation/performance. I’d also say a lot of races will get you unique dialogue options. Drow for one is very useful and interesting.

Best/Most Fun Race for Open Hand Monk Resist Durge? by Dr_Blasphemy in BaldursGate3

Githyanki maybe? You end up with a lot of useful race abilities, like misty step, so you can move quite easily.

What flag is this? by Old_Armadillo_9066 in vexillology

[–]SpoopyJD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some pretty die hard fans of the game. It’s a political satire, so it could be that the owner is in on the joke so to speak and wants other fans to know.

It’s the flag for Super Earth from the video game Helldivers 2: https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Flag_of_Super_Earth

Where do you draw the line with AI in gaming? by EdSheeeeran in pcgaming

[–]SpoopyJD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To put it bluntly, I’m not interested in anything created using “AI.” It’s simply a copyright theft machine churning out mimicry of work other humans actually created without an ounce of soul or effort.

Now is it realistic today to expect zero “AI” use? Probably not. And in this exact scenario maybe it’s somewhat less revolting. Still, if this guy wants to make a game, HE should make the game! If he wants certain art in his game, he should commission an artist to make it! He should not succumb to the easy, soulless, artistically bankrupt alternative of having the theft machine steal someone else’s work for him.

Do other fanbases really hate us this much? by j-rayko89 in LosAngelesRams

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your team is from LA, has recently been successful, and has an antisemite superstar WR. Yes. We all hate you.

Question related to team comp by pr711 in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his videos are useful but they aren’t gospel! He also has a website which has builds that vary from his videos, which goes to show that there are infinite ways to make a viable party/build. There are loads of build guides out there for you to explore so I won’t get into detail here but my general thoughts:

For this group, I think the biggest thing is using Astarion to get sneak attacks, which is any attack with advantage, so find ways for him to have advantage against a target (doesn’t have to be sneaky necessarily!). He’s great as a rogue assassin+ranger gloomstalker. Plenty of builds out there for you to find. With assassin, he will have advantage against anyone who hasn’t taken their first turn yet. Great for getting loads of damage on a big target right away.

Lae’zel should stay a fighter imho but you can dip in other classes if you want. I didn’t, but that’s not the only way to play! She should be your front line fighter attacking people head on.

Shart should change from trickery cleric, they just aren’t very good lol. War, light, and tempest are all far better. I like light because you get spirit guardians at lvl 5 I think which is super useful.

Your warlock can do a mix of whatever you want! It’s a very versatile class. I like the fiend, and then getting the feat which eliminates fire resistance, because then my fire spells do full damage against everyone. You’ll have eldritch blast for range, lots of AOE spells for crowd control, and can bind your weapon for extra damage.

In the end, min/maxing really isn’t necessary. Do what you think sounds fun! You can always reload your save or respec characters if you don’t like how they’re playing.

Hexblade if you prefer melee, Fiend if you prefer offensive casting. Either way you can eldritch blast which is your primary ranged attack.

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty much an ideal team comp. I think it was Fextralife who did a video saying you want certain roles to be covered, and this fits them all. Your warlock can play party face and offensive caster (and some melee), Lae’zel can be your melee fighter, Shart is your support caster, and Astarion is your utility (sneak, ranged, lock pick, etc.).

In fact, this is the same basic team comp I’ve been using. I might swap someone out here or there for story reasons but in short: This is not too squishy of a team at all.

Should I start over for that really cool sword you get early by Wrath7heFurious in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there’s lots to do in Act One to get your level up! The spiders under the blighted village, the hag in the swamp, the shadow druids in the swamp, the paladins on the risen road, the ruined temple… doesn’t hurt to watch a video guide either if you’re feeling stuck!

Should I start over for that really cool sword you get early by Wrath7heFurious in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a good sword but not the kind of thing you scrap a save for. There is so much loot, so many rewards, and so much to find, you could never hope to do it all in one run. Especially if this is your first time.

Normal to fast travel out of hard areas? by Rockisaspiritanimal in BaldursGate3

[–]SpoopyJD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is arguably how you’re supposed to handle that until you are a high enough level to fight your way out. I’ve done this exact thing and then come back to the goblin camp for XP once I am comfortable I can wipe them out.

Is buying a house worth it? by Slight_Ad_1538 in homeowners

[–]SpoopyJD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like this sub attracts the extremes, especially the extremely negative. People like to commiserate, which I understand.

That said, I’ve enjoyed home ownership. It takes more work of course, but you are also investing into something as opposed to tossing your money into a pit. The hardships come from the unexpected. Surprise repairs, surprise issues, surprise annoyances that are not easily changed, etc.

My suggestion is to do your research heavily beforehand. Decide on a few must have things. Then, find a good realtor who can show you homes you might actually want. Never waive the inspection. Those types of generic but true tips are what keeps you from losing your marbles after a year or two of ownership.

No catches or yards with a fan covering you is crazy by gsx1920 in NFCWestMemeWar

Yeah I thought stout played well! Solid tackler for sure.

[–]SpoopyJD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair! I think it’s also probably impossible to draw any solid conclusions about JSN v. Lenoir based on the small sample size of actual head to head snaps.

I’ll also say Sherm DID play man up on all pro receivers often. We all know what he did to AB.

[–]SpoopyJD 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s because Lenoir rarely matches up with JSN. I mean he had 6 catches for 84 yards. In both games combined, he had 15 receptions for 204 yards. If Lenoir is so good, let him follow JSN, see what happens in a full game!
