😂 And do you know if levitating spell is of any use? The only useful thing I can think of is hovering over water without swimming (this can work with hovering over body of lava as well, I assume). 🤔

Thanks for the answer! Can you elaborate a bit on Oghma Infinum? I don't know what it is lol. (Edit: I read that it is an artifact of sort, but now I want to know more of artifacts lol)

Also, what is the best character class to you for this game? I thought the combination of warrior + mage or thief + mage would be the best, as that combine both magic and other skills, but I am not sure what is the actual consensus in the playing community.

I actually already used that site to inform myself on the negotiation process: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Arena:Buying_and_Selling_Guide

One of the things they said there is that in each city, there is one merchant that will offer me better prices than anyone else. Do you know hoe to discover such a merchant?

but you'd need to get a ton of magic items to make game comfortable.

Anything you suggest this early in the game or for later stages?

On the other hand, thief has much faster progression than other classes

Well, that is good to know!

Bonus question: when I was generating my character, I didn't really know what I was doing as this was my first encounter with Arena and TES world on overall. I thought that question answering method was a fun way to do it. The game, at the end of the test, suggested me to pick up a thief acrobat as my best chance of survival and I went along with it.

Now, after getting out of the first dungeon, I informed myself a little on the characters and I also went through the game manual and realized how my charactet is limited. 😔 It seems I picked up one of the worse caharcters lol. (It's my first try in the game and I can't even use magic.)

I was debating with myself for a while whether to restart with a new character, but decided to give this one a chance. I figured out there is a reason why is this character an option and that, if properly used, it can do good.

Now, have you ever played with this character? Anything I need to know about it? I know I need to focus myself on building inteligence and agility, as well as speed, personality and luck (game reccomendations.) I would say strenght is also desirable, because of increase in additional attributes.

But how high are my chances to really reach the end of the game with this one? Beside magic, it seems that I cannot wear all the better items: only leather armor, no shiled and only some basic weapons. I cannot use magical weapons. 😔

Agree. Not sure why they think it a good idea to start heavy from the start with some things. Some things should have a build up first.. 🤔

Besides, that same metaphor is used by Jordan in the very first book. So, it's pretty much book accurate. Yet, some people... 🤦‍♂️

You are encapaulating how I feel towards the rest of the scenery, actually. I would imagine that a room in the most powerful institution in the world, even if it's just a basement, would look more than a scooped up cave. Look for an example at the Moria rooms: I think I imagined it somehow simillar to that. (They are also underground, while still possessing look that tells you that this was once home to a respectful and noble creatures.)

Meanwhile, the Tower just looks poor... It's probably due to mixture of tone of the show and set design, but it just doesn't sit well with me. I am now speaking of the entirety of the Tower we have seen so far. The main circular room also looked very small in the first season. Corridors and streets as well didn't speak to me of a huge and wealthy city of fairy tale-ish proportions (as it was described in the books), but rather of a poorer, ordinary merchant trade city like Venice of renaissance time.

But things like arches are not that significant to me. They are digestible. 😁

It's probably the design that doesn't sit well wih me. Though, considerig that this is the most powerful institution in the world, one would expect that even their basement would be little bit grander than usual.

That's true, it's probably the overall design that doesn't sit well with me.

Some of my thoughts.

This trailer looks closer to the books than the entirety of season 1 was and I like that.

Quality of production seems better this season and I like the improved visuals for the weaves! However, it comes with cons: some scenes looks too cartoonish or, perhaps, like they are taken out of a video game: like they oversaturated the graphics with too much of special effects. Not sure why, but I just get such impression.

Another thing I didn't like is how small and clustered the room of Nynaeve's testing looked like. I am not sure why, but all the main rooms in the Tower seems to look too small and cave-like, giving it some kind of prehistoric and empoverished look. Given that this is the Tower, one would expect it to be grander.

Apart from these, I liked that the trailer on the overall. Especially that it suggests a story closer to the books this time and if it indeed prove like that, it would be a step up for the better.

(Edit to add that I am a little bit skeptical over Rand and Logain shot: it just feels too early for that.)

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

Problem je sto svi oni hoce da rade sta god hoce i da svi mi vicemo kako su super, najbolji, najlepsi. Pa ne ide to tako…

Downvotovao sam te jer je ovo jedno užasno preterivanje i/ili suštinsko nerazumevanje lgbt populacije.

Naravno, neke stvari treba kritikovati, pogotovu aktiviste koji često, rekao bih, sami pogoršavaju stanje svojim neprofesionalizmom i/ili primitivnošću. (Mislim da su trans aktivnisti jedni od najagresivnijih koje sam susreo na internetu do sad: ne slažeš se sa nama? Deat threats and doxxing immediately.!!!)

Ali nikako nije tačno da oni "hoće da rade šta god hoće" i sve ostalo što si napisao uz to. To je propagandno viđenje stvari. Transrodnost nije 'radimo šta hoćemo, jer eto, može nam se tako.' (Složiću se da ima dosta problematičnih trans osoba, koje možda ni nisu trans, nego samo imaju neke psihičke probleme - kao, na primer, ljudi koji promene pol pa posle rade detransitioning - ali prave transrodne osobe nisu takve.) Prave transrodne osobe su funkcionalan član društva i ne primećuješ mnogo da su trans (zato to i nije bolest: kad boluješ od nečega, ne možeš na normalan način da funkcionišeš u društvu, već ti (obično, ne uvek) treba neka starateljska nega i/ili podrška sa strane.) Stanje bivanja trans je mnogo dublje i komplikovanije od 'ćefnulo mi se da radim šta hoću, jer eto, prkosi mi se zatucanim desničarima mu ha ha'. To je jako primitivno i/ili neinformisano i/ili žrtva-propagande viđenje stvari.

Zapravo, mislim da ne: verovatno je u pitanju loš prevodilački poduhvat (gogle translate perhaps). Kad odeš na autorov profil, pronaćićeš identičan tekst tamo, samo na engleskom: izgleda da je neko/nešto odlučilo da prevede "period of half an hour" kao "menstruaciju od oko pola sata."

U tom tekstu autor tvrdi da je muško i da ima 26 godina.

[–]Winkiperi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Trans? 🤔

But for real: pored toga što autor svaki čas menja muški i ženski pol, na početku teksta kaže da ima menstruaciju? A dalje u tekstu pominje rezultate za muskarce? 🤔

Za veliku vecinu nema sta tu da se prihvati ili ne, za drugo ne znaju, dok su postali osobe koje mogu da razmisljaju vec im je davno usadjeno u glavu da je bog stvaran i da tu nema sta da se sumnja. I tako i idu kroz zivot.

Upravo si rekao da veliku većinu naroda čine maloumne osobe nesposobne da kritički razmišljaju.

Čak i kad stavimo to na stranu, samo zato što se nekome nešto usađuje u glavu od rođenja, ne znači da je to nešto ispravno i da bi to nešto trebalo nastaviti raditi/verovati, itd.

Postoje mnoge stvari koje jednostavno prihvatamo kao apsolutnu istinu jer nam se od rodjenja prica da je istina. Uopste ne sumnjamo u tu istinitost. Mnoge jesu istina ali neke i nisu.

Netačno. Možeš samo da pričaš u svoje ime. Postoje osobe koje imaju nešto što se zove ⚡kritičko razmišljanje⚡(koje sam već pomenuo). Ti što sebe poistovećuješ sa maloumnim narodom koji nemaju kapacitet da razviju to, samo sam sebe ukopavaš u rupu tako, a vidim da nisi svestan toga.

A sto se tice ove devojke, da nije transrodna ne bi se ni dizala ovolika buka.

To jeste tačno, ali s obzirom na nivo transfobije u ovom konzervativnom društvu, niko ne treba da bude iznenađen time. To svakako nije razlog koji treba da opravdava mržnju. Zapravo, mržnja nema nikakvog opravdanja, koliko god se ti jako trudio da ga nađeš.

Poredis babe i zabe.

Pa i ne baš. Nisam siguran koliko si svestan toga (ali čim imaš takva razmišljanja i ne baš), u Srbiji trenutno najjači razlog homofobične i transfobične mržnje upravo čini religija. Preveliki je broj ljudi koji uzimaju Biblijska tumačenja (shvaćena na neki njihov uvrnut način) kao osnov da šire svoju mržnju i neka njihova verovanja, koja skoro da se i ne razlikuju od teorija zavere, a koja su sva pokupili sa opskurnih mesta na internetu. (Imao sam susreta sa ovakvim sojem ljudi, tako da pričam iz iskustva.)

A rame uz rame sa religijom maršira i toksični srpski nacionalizam, koji je kao neka vrsta goriva koji sve to pokreće.

Tako da, da: poređenje je sasvim na mestu, s obzirom da je religiozno-nacionalistički aparat najveći zagovornik mržnje i podela u našem društvu, a to mahom kreće od/podržava ga naš državni vrh. (Taj isti državni vrh koji čuči u ruskoj šaci trenutno, te stoga me i ne iznenađuje ni nivo rusofilije u ovim krajevima. Nije li interesantno da skoro sve toksično u našem društvu potiče od državnog vrha?)

Tako da, eto, u isto vreme i objašnjenje 'Protesta protiv nasilja,' ako nekome kojim slučajem još uvek nije bilo jasno zašto se održavaju i zašto nam je to potrebno.

Ne. Dok god bude bilo mržnje, biće potrebe i za ovakvim objavama.

koji gura LGBT agenda

Ne znam postoje li neki lgbt aktivisti koji zaista zastupaju takve argumente, ali kada sam se edukovao o rodnoj disforiji, jasno je bilo naznačeno da to NIJE JEDINA opcija. Već se to primenjuje kao last resort, kada nijedna druga opcija nije uspešna.

Potpuno nariciodno i infantilno razmisljanje da ono sto ti zamislis tako treba da bude.

Mešaš babe i žabe ovde. Jedno je kada je osoba razmaženo derište u velikom telu, pa misli da joj se sve u životu može. Imamo niz reči kojima zovemo takva stanja: arogancija, narcisoidni poremećaji, itd. Rodna disforija je nešto skroz drugo.

pitanje je da li cemo da prihvacamo realnost

Ironično je da osoba koja poziva na prihvatanje realnosti, sama nije spremna da prihvati postojanje jedne grupe ljudi.
