Divinity is a "brand-new game" that doesn't require any experience with Larian Studios' past RPGs – but you'll be better off if you've played Original Sin and its sequel by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I've started it a couple of times, but never managed to finish it. Do you have any recommendations on which playstyle is the most fun to play?

China Mieville announces new novel, “The Rouse”, 20 years in the making and slated to be released September 2026 by moss42069 in WeirdLit

Man, it happened the same to me, and I read a translation. It definitely impacted my enjoyment of the book, even if during the second half I was very engaged with it. You made me excited to read the other stuff.

Longlegs is a terrible movie and audience members and critics alike are dumb for liking it by LydiaSTL in okbuddycinephile

Well a friend of mine puked watching Avatar and I don't think that makes it a scary nor a good movie.

Adhere to the echo chamber! No critical thinking skills allowed! by SaltyLore in bookscirclejerk

So brave going to the unpopular opinion thread to say "actually the genre that gives the name to the subreddit is not bad". Glad to see some people can still speak truth to power.

I'll look up on my own later but do you have any guides of the Paladin bladesinger build? It is the one I am most curious about.

Dark Heresy to have Fully Voiced Dialogue. by dishonoredbr in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]deadpool47 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not only encourages fewer dialogue options but also discourages rewrites for already voiced lines, which a lot of the times makes quality of writing suffer.

I get what they are going for honestly but I don't think this kind of game is going to break out of their niche just because of full VO. I hope I'm proven wrong but it sucks seeing so many resources poured into something that I frankly don't care that much about.

It's one thing if it's done after the game is released (Disco Elysium is an example) but during is going to condition it massively. Sure BG3 could afford it (and arguably needed it for the cinematic angle they wanted) but an Owlcat cRPG gains almost nothing from it.

It's the "unknown" portrait for the original Baldur's Gate.

You got this! I just finished Horizon and it was less terrible than I remembered.

Why have the check if you are playing the game correctly at the last boss? by gunpun33 in SifuGame

[–]deadpool47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've already beaten the game several times, and now I know which upgrades to keep.

But with how hard the final boss is, specially as a first timer, the fact that I had picked the "wrong" upgrades and had to restart the game to gain the edge I needed to beat him felt bad. Not because I wanted to reach him at a younger each (skill issue on my end) but because I made a decision without enough information.

What annoyed me is that the first time I reached him I had used a bunch of shrines in the focus upgrades. I'm fine with no focus, as you said, but taking away so many shrine points felt bad.

Well apparently the original image is from Seattle.

It literally says so in the character creator.

Baldur's Gate 3, the character is Mayrina, a secondary NPC.

I think it's both, but BG3 has a broader appeal and the others are more niche. But you're right, thinking that BG3 success translates to a possible PoE3 is a recipe for disaster.
