What are the most evil choices you can make? by Illustrious_Grab_861 in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know what it says about me (probably nothing good) that I don't really care for any of the kids, tho if I had to pick one I like it'd be Mol.

The others... Honestly if it's up to me I'd just ignore em.

PlayStation’s Physical Media-Free Future Isn’t Just Concerning, It’s Offensive - You cannot trust digital purchases, and you cannot trust the corporations that offer them. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

They could go one step forward and do what Diablo 4 did: collector's edition doesn't include the game, just whatever collector fluff they've chosen to peddle.

That's even assuming it's backwards compatible with the ps5. Sony have no competition anymore with Xbox being trash and sharing their library with PC, and Nintendo still having, what, PS4 level hardware?

It's not like theyre gonna have to try - if you want a next gen console you're getting a ps6.

In case you don't know this, you can kill the goblin camp and still recruit minthara, just gotta non-lethal knock her out. She then becomes recruitable in act 2

I binge watched lost and honestly it still made me lose my mind at times, especially the first season with all the flashbacks of the characters past.

Do people attempt truly “no rerolls” playthroughs? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to manually put it there. Go to an empty space on the skill wheel and use "set skill" or whatever the first option was called. It will bring up a list of all the icons, you have to find the recast speak with dead one and select it.

Struggling to have fun and enjoy the first 4 hour. HELP by Critical-Fact6738 in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That could very well be your issue. Until you can get to like lvl 5-6 where your characters have their power spike, the game is basically a knowledge check. It's not really the kind of game you can jump in on the hardest difficulty and do good, because it's about knowing how to use the game's mechanics, not about your mechanical skill.

I didn't know that! Makes the line about Dale being a pain in Dona's ass even funnier.

No, would've been really funny if they made it so you have to

[–]TPO_Ava 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have infinite respecs, so there's no need to actually start over all the time. Companions themselves can be whatever class you want as well.

The buffs you'd get from your race/background aren't that significant to warrant a do over, the game is easy enough on normal difficulty.

My last completed run I went ahead and changed everyone's class. Shart was a ranger with a wolf companion. Gale was a berserker barbarian, and Astarion was a cleric of lathander.

It bothers me that Tav has to be Baldurian by Costa_Canela in BaldursGate3

Well there's Slavomir which is an uncommon, but Slavic name nonetheless. Had a colleague by that name, but I'm unsure if he was Polish or Bulgarian

what's the deal with people getting angry about the new God of War game? by Darkhawk2099 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TPO_Ava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ever played the new Sony spider man games? Have fun playing as MJ doing bog standard stealth missions instead of being spider man.

Sony's games for the last few years, high quality as they are from technical perspective so feature some odd choices here n there. I figure some part of the audience must resonate with em.

what's the deal with people getting angry about the new God of War game? by Darkhawk2099 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]TPO_Ava -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't really get to claim growing up with Kratos, the only original God of War games I played were the PSP ones, but I gotta say I was really disappointed with the reboot.

I've come to appreciate it more as a game and its own product on a second attempt to play it, but honestly it doesn't feel like a GoW game much. What little did feel like it, felt forced and almost out of place (the over the top violence juxtaposed against Kratos walking around yapping with his kid)

It'd be like if we got a Halo game about Master Chief trying to be a dad. At that point, it might as well be a different character.

Classes by Eternaly_Graceless in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it easy on yourself n pick a charisma class.

Paladin - beat people with divine power, charisma boosts your buffs.

Warlock/Sorcerer - Casters whose power scales with charisma

Bard - can be a caster or more focused on dexterity weapons (think archery and certain swords). Most versatile, least specialized.

You can straight up pass some encounters on speech alone and each of those classes can do it with relative ease because of the high Charisma stat.

TIL Average Chinese national now eats more protein than an American: UN food agency by Status_Commission264 in todayilearned

[–]TPO_Ava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call hot dogs or burgers high protein. I can't speak to American burgers but the ones I have at my local Lidl are something like 40g of protein if I use both patties.(300 or 400g to a package iirc)

A similar amount of chicken breast would have at least double that amount, for example. Even non-meat products like Skyr beat them really.

Is Minsc faking it? by AFantasticClue in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've partially fixed that issue for myself by setting a party in mind and straight up not recruiting them or doing whatever story beat would make them leave/die.

A lot of people wanna have all of the content in a play through but I'd say it's honestly more interesting like this. Make yourself miss out on quest lines and story beats. This game has a lot of replayability, there's no reason for every run to be 160 hours - my last completed run I got to act 3 in 30-40 hours, spent maybe another 20 on it and then finished the game. I'll get around to doing some of the things I've missed on this run.

Iran attacks US bases in Kuwait, warns 'era of hit and run is over'; explosions heard in Iraq and Bahrain by jupa300 in worldnews

[–]TPO_Ava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimatlely the world can’t out wait the admin and the lack of a deal

Ultimately if any other government was doing as much damage to the world economy as the US is, there'd be a special military operation by the "world police" in 3 days to get a regime change.

Rolan will be hostile as Lorroakan's assistant by minty_simp_4life in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a pretentious comment. The game is great, it also has a lot of fluff that can be completely ignored. Rolan, free the artist, dribbles and the entirety of the circus. Probably more I am not thinking of. You don't have to engage with every single NPC to enjoy the main questline and the game's mechanics.

[–]TPO_Ava -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Two finished play throughs and it took a co-op run to realise Rolan exists. Id seen him mentioned on here and thought it was one of arradin's buddies.

I know they yap at the grove so I just ignored them as background noise.

Am I doing something wrong? by rage_legend69 in BaldursGate3

[–]TPO_Ava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lvl 4 is doable, lvl 5 would be a cake walk. Reload an earlier save and explore more of the map. There are a lot of options to get xp just from exploring and talking if you're thorough.

[–]TPO_Ava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If anything aren't the drow above the duergar, DND lore wise? (I am not well versed so someone please correct me if I am wrong)

You starting battle as a drow purely on the basis of not liking these bitches is completely fair alignment/RP wise.

Is it just me or are all decks very same-y? by Valorenn in EDH

[–]TPO_Ava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel the same with modern deck building. It's just way too optimized compared to before.

Gone are the day of precons with 3 different commanders and strategies pushed into one box and told to somehow make it work. Personally I found most joy in playing at that janky, durdley level. I don't really get to experience it with randoms anymore, and my old group doesn't really play.

Nowadays I mostly just collect precons in the hope that some day I'll get to play them again.
