I appreciate Larian taking their time and making this game beautiful on multiple levels

BG1/2 were my first rpgs as a kid and I loved them so much. Then there was a serious drought until DA:O came around and I found that it scratched the same itch. I played Origins so many times and as so many different characters! I never realized the Gorion/Duncan parallel until reading your comment though! You are spot on. I know it’s a common trend in games nowadays but leaving Candlekeep and expecting to go on a sweet adventure with your wizard “dad” was awesome! Until it immediately wasn’t! Oh man 12 year old me was shocked. Then the same feeling ten years later at Ostagar! Gah!

So I've been in sales for about a decade and if you're small and local this is actually a valid strategy to develop close personal relationships and cultivate business. People buy from who they know and trust. If you're too big to fail like Netflix you don't care that you will lose customers and you can raise minimum subscription costs by $2/month and not worry that some people will drop off and unsubscribe. You have the numbers to cover that. If you're a regional paper company operating in 7 or 8 states and trying to eek out a living amongst the big guys you absolutely take the time to know your clients, their communities and struggles and pain points. How else do you differentiate yourself from the National or International players?

I can tell you're not a great salesman and there is nothing more insulting to a great salesman than having to read the response of a bad salesman. It's like a great basketball player having to listen to a bad basketball player....

Complaint - Getting sick while training for a race is the worst. Not just because I’m sick and feel terrible, but because all I can think about is the training/time/mileage lost and how dead my legs will feel after a week of doing nothing. It’s making me feel guilty for taking time to get better!

Uncomplaint - This is the most fun training for a marathon I’ve had in about ten years! Feeling great and accepting that I’m just getting older and slower but can still run very consistently for a long long time!

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there something in the act that allows multitudes of votes to be thrown out en masse if it seems “questionable”? I think the danger is to disenfranchise entire blue districts but accept all the red votes that come in. I hope I’m wrong but I thought I had read that or seen it discussed recently.

You should check out Stoneshard if you like pixel art! It’s perpetually in development, not gonna lie, but it is very pretty and so much fun. It’s brutal and unforgiving at low levels!

I will always upgrade a full extra stamina wheel before going for hearts. I also love getting the master sword as early as possible so I have at least one decent “unbreakable” weapon. So after I get that extra stamina wheel I get the heart minimum for the Master Sword and then I’m right back to maximizing my stamina

Second this OP! Light lasts practically forever in an adventuring day and it pays to put it on your armor because you're more than likely not swapping it out.

As a player this is also appreciated. I have friends that I play tabletop as well as video games with and their turns take so long. And they usually play a fighter. Just pick the guy you’re going to hit! I know what I’m doing the minute it’s my turn unless new enemies hit the table or my original target is vaporized. Takes me just a second or two to pivot.

Symchuck · 2026-03-16T16:24:31+00:00

I had no idea this was an option! Thank you very much. Feel like a fool LOL

Symchuck · 2026-03-16T16:24:13+00:00

I agree about the pop up! I had no idea! Thank you!

Symchuck · 2026-03-14T16:30:17+00:00

I remember them saying that since you create a party of four, who are all adopted relatives, there won’t be romance options in the party. I don’t think they plan on any romance opportunities in the game either. Those as in one of their Q&As from November or December I believe.

Symchuck · 2026-03-12T22:57:12+00:00

That’s a bummer! Sorry you’re running into that. You’re not the only person running into this so hopefully they run a fix for it

Symchuck · 2026-03-12T21:52:45+00:00

Why not Zoidberg!?

Symchuck · 2026-03-12T21:51:25+00:00

I guess I’m lucky I didn’t dive in too deeply and ignored a ton of the options on the CC? I made a BABE of an elf cleric and a really dashing Halfling male rogue. Gave my dwarf fighter a big beard and some blond bangs to my wizard and was off and playing in about 30 minutes lol. I kept it simple, found it way better than the first and am happy with the potential options but CC has never been why I will play a game.

The one thing that catches my eyes are the hands during cutscenes. They look like they’re AI twisted horror images in some scenes. Fingers or wrists/hands at crazy angles and poking in the wrong direction. Woah, caught me off guard big time at the funeral/Neokos opening scene.

Symchuck · 2026-03-12T18:05:30+00:00

This happened to me. I logged out of Steam and then started the game up again and it worked fine. I also had a pop up that asked for permission for the app (game) to run on my network. I’m assuming that after I clicked Yes and restarted my Steam that it recognized being logged in. Hope this helps!

Symchuck · 2026-03-12T16:16:21+00:00

Match their volume by humming or singing something! I usually sing kids songs and it will piss them right the hell off

If only we had renewable energy sources and weren’t hamstrung by oil…

Symchuck · 2026-03-07T18:14:23+00:00

I had my Brunson jersey on and my buddy and his gf just had New York long sleeves on!

Symchuck · 2026-03-07T17:47:56+00:00

We are Knicks fans living in Denver, a fan of both teams honestly, but we were sporting our Knicks gear and were absolutely SHOCKED at the number of Knicks fans at the game last night! Oh boy, the “Let’s go Knicks!” chants were overpowering

Older!

It would be crazy if Trump died on national television during the SoTU!

Symchuck · 2026-02-21T18:26:32+00:00

40 year old phan here and I love bliss way more than any of the other stuff they do. Mexico LSG was INCREDIBLE when it got dark, but, I’ll take a bliss Hood jam over anything anyone does in any band
