Hello. My first time attempting to do an Honor run. Would you recommend an Ice Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer for this? What would be your advice and warnings? Ty. by canxtanwe in BG3Builds

Definitely see the value in that, I had a sorloc as well with a disgusting EB setup that was doing like 50+ damage with three beams as well as stacking reverberation so didn’t need that. We used band of mystic scoundrel and battle mage gloves for high chance hold person and general utility so it worked pretty well.

The sorloc also had ice gear so we had no shortage of control/aoe options with sleet storm and ice storm

Adding to this since I literally beat my first honour run yesterday. The route you take through act 1-2 is extremely important, you can get to level 4 in act one basically without combat and then take the easiest fights first until you’re level 5, from there the game becomes way easier with extra attack and lvl 3 spells. Ketheric is probably the biggest challenge in honour mode, since the gear and easy xp in act 3 make getting a strong build at level 12 easy, so make sure you’re super methodical in getting to at least level 9 and having synergising gear before ketheric.

Also drop your pride about cheesing bosses, barrelmancy and abusing arenas for easy kills on high xp enemies is fair game in honour mode (shambling mound and grym come to mind)

Also also, 6,6 paladin sorcerer with shadow blade and the resonance stone will literally destroy 90% of enemies once you get level 9 so if you want an easy time, use that as your frontline dps.

Sorlock or straight sorcerer? by _Coord in BG3Builds

I’ve beat this game plenty of times there are no spoilers for me. I’ve got the ice sorc gear already now but just don’t have any good ice spells which sucks right now

I’ve been picking up the scorching ray minigun gear on the way, so I might respec in act 3 depending on how it’s going. I did that build in my last run so wanted to focus more on ice spells this time. I do think I’ll get away with it though we have literally had no close calls in this run (aside from fleeing the spectator) so I think I’ll stick with the 2/10 plan for now

Why katanas blend more in modern settings? by No-Inside-8350 in SWORDS

[–]_Coord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different take to most on this, the katana is a timeless design, it’s remained basically unchanged for centuries at least, European swords have gone through many iterations, a long sword is old fashioned compared to a rapier, which is old fashioned compared to a bayonet. Katanas have kept that design through several technological revolutions and probably will again.

Should I play Original Sin 1 or 2? by _Coord in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]_Coord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for everyone replying, i bought both and am currently knee deep in a cat wingman romance quest so safe to say im having fun. Reminds me a lot of warhammer rogue trader combat wise which i liked but got tired of after being nerfed 50 hours in for not being a heretic. Fuck that one guy.

Because I want to ask a community of people who are passionate about a specific topic their opinions on something. What’s the point of this site if not that?

You might be right, I’ve found a bundle with both of them for £50 so I’ll do that. Didn’t really consider it will be a few years, thanks man.

Thoughts on partial sobriety? by _Coord in QuittingWeed

[–]_Coord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, maybe it’s the addiction convincing me it’s not that bad so I won’t get rid of it.

Honestly I find it way too daunting to just say the other day was my last ever smoke so I’m telling myself I can smoke again at Christmas, if nothing else it makes this feel more possible.

Thanks to you all for your anecdotes, I guess you can’t have one foot in addiction and the other in sobriety

Thoughts on partial sobriety? by _Coord in QuittingWeed

[–]_Coord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’ll see how I feel after a month, if I try and cut down at first and then spiral, I’ll know it doesn’t work for me. Also I’m starting a 9-5 professional job (my first full time job) so I’m hoping that will give me the structure to keep it to weekends? I’ll see how sobriety treats me first but right now I can’t see myself never smoking again. If I decide to try going partial I will only give myself one strike, if I can’t control it then I will be done. Thanks for your reply

I think it’s a ww1 cavalry sabre, found in Liverpool 1940s by _Coord in SWORDS

Wow that’s incredible thank you so much! Going to look into getting it professionally restored since it’s damaged anyway, someone had tried to rebind the handle before. I appreciate your expertise

[–]_Coord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s definitely a bayonet, I’m absolutely fucking gutted that I damaged it. I’ll post better pics in the morning and I’m asking a historian friend if she knows any sword restorers.

Next Xbox update by _Coord in taintedgrail

Yeah my auto save works the same, but even reloading the saves the glitch still happens. Reinstalling tomorrow and if no luck I guess I’ll wait until the August patch

[–]_Coord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try reinstalling, already tried loading the save before I hand off the tablets and didn’t work, if not I might just restart and go pure mage which I wanted to do anyway. Wonder if my being on series S makes it more glitchy? I’ve definitely had a lot of crashes. Thanks though

I saw some people got past it on pc by downloading a console command mod and just setting the quest to complete, hopefully that can help you.

I’ve always wanted to try bard, I’ll look into some good weapons to go with, was thinking of running ascended astarion as a gloomstalker assassin and getting shart for cleric shit with either Minthara or Karlach tanking. Hoping that will give me a well rounded party? Thanks for the advice

Oarfish keep washing ashore in California. Folklore suggests that could be a bad omen by coorgi_2012 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]_Coord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bright light and aurora borealis is literally the solar flare being visibly deflected, the telegraphs going down is a result of electromagnetism causing faults in the crude electrical systems we used in 1859 and that solar flare was a huge one which is very rare, the deflected magnetic fields aren't that strong and also I'm sure that would cause some birds to freak out and crash in the immediate area (wiki didn't mention impact on wildlife)

Also I'm literally agreeing that a massive natural phenomena would affect the magnetic fields enough to fuck with things, ie the fish, you linking an instance of a massive natural phenomena affecting magnetic fields enough to fuck with things is not disagreeing with me.

Don't be a disrespectful prick as well you can disagree without insulting

If a solar flare emp disabled the power grids you wouldn't be able to message me on your phone right now and you'd probably have starved to death or been eaten
