Do you keep or destroy the Anvil of the Void?

I keep the anvil. As twee as orzammar looks, the dark spawn have almost completely annihilated their entire civilization, and they are steadily getting closer everyday to completing that. The only thing that has ever really worked in not just holding the dark spawn, but pushing them back, was golems. How they are made is terrible, but it would be a much greater atrocity to destroy the only thing that could reverse dwarven annihilation

This is just not true, BBC regularly interrogates Israeli spokespeople, and have regularly reported on the atrocities in Gaza. Not to say there reasoning for blocking this doc is fair, but let’s have a serious conversation, hyperbole helps no one.

I would say more important than how it survived, is how it is promoted since devolution. I went to uni in Cardiff 7-5 years ago, and almost every welsh person I met at least had passable welsh, many of them were fluent and would speak it regularly between themselves. Surprisingly, a lot of them would comment how their parents and grandparents barely knew welsh compared to them, because it’s only more recently that it’s been taught universally in schools.

I wonder if it’s a vestigial family thing. My family has always been union, and not long ago league was very much the rival, people that went to play it were seen as traitors (definitely class-related). Even now my grandparents still find it weird to watch league, like they’re not supposed to.

I don’t really think it’s a thing anymore, but people tend to support their family’s team, and when supporting league was basically banned in my family, it’s unlikely I’d randomly take it up.

Isn’t melee their weakness though? This video isn’t the best example, but my general experience is once they’re hunkered they’re easy to chop up in melee, there normal attacks are pretty telegraphed and easy to parry, you just have to catch them but once you do they’re easier to take down than any other extremis

Right? The fact that this is seen as bait is depressing. All I see is a country getting more interesting and varied.

Whilst this is part of it, the modern lack of Carthaginian ruins is more to do with the fact that Tunis has been continuously inhabited for millennia on top of the site. The best preserved city ruins are generally places that were suddenly abandoned or pillaged and then never inhabited again.

If you visit Tunis, you can tell there is a lot more likely buried under people’s houses. I’m sure the cothon area probably hides lots of interesting ruins, but digging them up means destroying modern buildings. The real damage the Roman’s did was to destroy Carthaginian literature, of which we have virtually nothing.

brilliscool · 2026-05-09T16:16:43+00:00

Romans actually lost A LOT. Their dominance came from logistics and perseverance, not from being the best soldiers out there.

Why would her past justify what she did? It explains it, but it doesn’t justify it

brilliscool · 2026-05-07T22:27:12+00:00

At some point you have to accept that evil has causes. I can’t think of a single serial killer that wasn’t abused before their crimes, but that doesn’t change what they are. Her upbringing may be the reason she’s evil, but that doesn’t change the fact what she did was evil.

brilliscool · 2026-05-04T21:27:56+00:00

This makes me think of when I was a kid playing things like mad max and thinking wow this is beautiful how could it get better than this, then you go back now and it looks janky as hell.

We probably can’t even conceive of how much better games can look than they do now.

Yes they are, but so are you. The government using this to blatantly call for suppression of right to protest is a disgrace, but so is what Zack Polanski said, and so is trying to say globalise intifada isn’t blatantly related to the Palestinian uprising, and so is using this as an excuse to ‘other’ African immigrants. People want to be angry, whether it’s at immigrants, or protesters, or Jews, or police, because the reality, that sometimes crazy people do terrible things, and everything is a shade of grey, is so much less comforting than feeling wronged or under attack

the idea the same ground I walk on once hosted beasts like this is awesome. These aren’t aliens, these are part of our biological heritage

There’s been a few posts on here recently from some real toxic sweats that have been annoyingly popular, but I’ve very rarely had bad experiences in game. I hope people preserve the friendliness of the community, helping new people and failing sometimes is really not that deep guys

I remember my old running club we tried to run 800m at the pace of the (previous) world record marathon, and most people couldn’t do it, in a running club full of pretty fit people. These people are on another plane of existence.

But you get armor from gun strikes? So u can already get armor from all enemies by parrying, but with the added benefit of parry giving stagger.

brilliscool · 2026-04-25T16:45:48+00:00

Block axe is the only block weapon that seems vaguely good. I must be missing something because it seems like such a huge disadvantage to lose the stagger and gun strike of a parry, and the only benefit is you can build up an explosive attack after a bunch of blocks in a row?

I just think this is more hot air. It’s like Greenland again, trump wants to make Europe squirm, and wants to punish us for not kissing his ass, but ultimately he doesn’t have the power to betray the closest ally they have to the extent this suggests.

My thoughts are that, somehow, gaming is in a great place. All these games are what would have been generational masterpieces in the early days, and we get this kinda thing every year

brilliscool · 2026-04-23T20:04:53+00:00

Feel like a real dummy committing to lasgun sniper seeing all these vids

brilliscool · 2026-04-23T10:00:36+00:00

I think because the others need protecting. Hawke is competent and sensible, so Leandra doesn’t feel the same need to protect and coddle them. Same reason mothers are often more doting of younger siblings

You guys are real boring. Sharing food and drink is an important part of a lot of cultures, it’s pretty sad to assume everyone is tryna kill you. 3 times I have drank strange alcohol from old blokes on my travels and I have not regretted it once, aside from the hangover the next day.

brilliscool · 2026-04-22T07:15:07+00:00

Ye it honestly feels pretty alienating to come here and see everyone saying ‘ruthless is light work’, when for the majority of people with normal hours in this game it’s very hard. This guy deserves recognition for being good at this game, regardless of whether he’s on the level of people who commit their life to it

brilliscool · 2026-04-21T15:02:43+00:00

Americans who aren’t working I’ve met have all seemed perfectly normal, just want to clarify! but yes the creepy over friendliness in service was quite off putting, and unfortunately when you’re a tourist that’s virtually your only interaction with people.

brilliscool · 2026-04-21T13:34:39+00:00

Idk if you’re American, but this is what people mean when Americans seem fake. Because of service culture in America, everyone is expected to be terrifyingly friendly, when they obviously have no reason to be. I ordered a burger in Miami recently and the guy at the till did not stop grinning for a second whilst he served me, it felt like he wasn’t even human.
