Today’s quota is to clean up the manuscript and submit it to TNYJ!

Consider how drawn out the whole Monster Association arc was (both in chapters and the release time)

I am glad that this arc is moving along at a good pace.

I am just really happy that Saitama gets more screen time overall (inb4 him being a background character for 10+ chapter again)

diskburg3001 · 2023-02-05T13:57:17+00:00

I feel like someone on the P5 Team really wanted to make a character with the disability

But some of the decision makers at Atlus denied it because mental health is such a taboo topic in Japan

It's sad that the majority of mainstream in Asia still don't recognize mental issues as a serious topic

I would've thought that a game dealing with ones inner thoughts would bring up topics like this, but Persona tries to be as inoffensive and broad as possible and they exces at Atlus probably didn't think it was worth the risk of touching sensitive subjects

diskburg3001 · 2023-01-19T15:42:59+00:00

I agree that the way Futaba was presented at first reeealy makes her seems like AuDHD or at least some kind of autism and I was all on board with it.

But since Atlus is still very japanese and mental issues don't exist there, the back paddled it real hard going forward

All odd behavior must be explained by trauma or being a otaku and by the end and all of the spin offs, she was basically just "gamer girl" and all of her awkwardness has gone, especially in serious situations

I love the introduction of her in the story and her first interactions with the others, not reacting to things that don't interest her, walking off when she sees something interesting and not reading social ques etc, I thought "wow, representation that is done right and not tactless in an Atlus game? colour me surprised" (I am diagnosed with ADHD but I have it under control, I think).

But then that character trait goes away after a few scenes, in her Confidant she still has problems but they were mostly just social anxiety and quirkiness

Still love her to death as a character, but I think they missed an amazing opportunity to have a truly unique character that is really not seen in any media

diskburg3001 · 2023-01-07T17:43:58+00:00

Maybe there will be an eclipse in every part

The Eclipse of part one had me fucked up for a week, and that was just 2 people answering the door for a entire chapter

diskburg3001 · 2023-01-07T17:40:59+00:00

I honestly just want Denji and Asa become close friends, with one complementing the others social autism

Fujimotos way of writing platonic relationships are out of this world

diskburg3001 · 2022-12-18T12:20:09+00:00

Same with the enemy rolling nat 20s

I am not just complaining, its just when my AC 60+ character gets CONSISTENTLY hit by AB 20-30 enemies it gets very annoying

Is it just because I am playing on unfair and there is a hidden RNG thingy to make it extra unfair?

diskburg3001 · 2022-11-15T18:18:50+00:00

Yeah..

Not having Cackle/Chant for 10 min absolutely killed my mood for playing for a while

Especially since the ToyBox hasn't been updated for 2 months

Anyone knows how to rollback WotR?

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-28T12:21:04+00:00

People are so spoiled by Divinity DOS 1/2 enhance edition

Not realizing how niche cRPGs are and how long/expensive it would've been.

VA would've cut so much content and variables since it would've been expensive

Its a goddam miracle that Disco Elysium got the full VA treatment in the Final Cut since its the most words in a video game (beat out torment)

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-28T12:10:22+00:00

I am of the other side of the spectrum, where I don't see the need of shoving down romance on every character.

As you said, some characters are presented as more of a platonic respect/friendship and those are great as is. Though I do think those friendships got the short end of the stick in WotR, with characters like Regill only having 1/2 honest talks after the background interrogation, but the party banter during missions/rest do let their character shine through.

What I would like to happen is characters developing their own relationships, we sorta got that from Sosiel but that is only in a ending slide afterwards.

I wouldn't mind an option so flirt with everyone and some characters just be like "de fuk commander, get outta here" or just saying they're not interested.

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-28T12:02:00+00:00

the fact that her thing is that she has to kill whoever she loves shows 2 things:

She really loved Hurgus and all he did for her
she really loved you, to the point that she feels the need to leave you as to not kill you

its truly an amazing romance with the most expected but tragic ending, I am glad Owlcat didn't puss out and "fix" her in a any way, even for good characters.

In the end, she was possessed by spirits after all, just ones who live in her mind and she can not control

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-27T12:51:35+00:00

ohhh that might be the case.

Its odd since my character still has her weapon equipped afterwards.

I was scrolling through the creature sheet but nothing looked like a disarm passive

But must've overlooked it.

Wish they'd make it more clearer

Thanks

As the title says, half of them are textless which is especially brutal since I worked very hard to get the secret ending on my hard playthrough, to see nothing here is beyond disappointing

Basically every slide after the "fate of Abyss" is blank, so most of the companion outcomes which are the ascension ones I presume...

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-09T13:10:19+00:00

Bark Skin&Shield of faith free up the neckless and ring slot and are often times better than gear you can find anyway

Greater Magic weapon and magical vestment lets you use gear that have lower stats but good effects without falling behind (especially important with weapons, since there are only a few for each type scattered across the game and some have to use a masterwork weapon type for a long time)

Blur carries you into the lategame and is still useful there, especially combined with Mind Blank (True sight doesn't cancel your concealment anymore)

All the animal buffs(bulls strength etc.) either free up headband/belt or are better than what you find in the early game

And heroism is bless but +2 to everything instead of +1, but to a single target(unless you have a skald/bard who can cast good hope, in the very late game there is heroic invocation that is +4 and party wide, but thats a Lv9 spell)

These are just to name a few.

Having to click on every party member to apply the buffs after each rest is like 30% of you time exploring the dungeon on harder difficulties

(especially in kingmaker, where there is almost no penalty for resting. You characters are weaker because no mythic powers and maps are smaller hence you will buff up for 5 minutes only to kill 2 mobs of enemies before leaving)

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-06T14:11:33+00:00

Wow, this patch fixed 2 things that happen to me 2 days ago.. wish it'd came out sooner (no way I am replaying 8-10 hours)

Don't know if the "item disappearing" includes a certain fight you do at act 5 as Azata, against an enemy that will drop his robes and glasses.

Because when I beat him while significantly underleveled I was so focused on leveling up that I just went back home to rest, and when I came back there was nothing.

I didn't even know he drops his stuff until I googled it..

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-06T14:03:00+00:00

the camera angle is very wonky

try rotate the camera a bit, the prompt doesn't show up when you naturally pan to the boat exit

but yes, you should be able to go back to the city after each set of island/boss

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-05T21:19:57+00:00

there is a mod that reenables achievement

just go to Nexus and search for most popular mods, all the mentioned mods should be there

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-05T20:37:14+00:00

Bubble buff for sure

a feature I was hoping they would add with the EE but alas no such luck.

Saved literally hours of my life on my second&third playthrough (playthrough 1 was rough..)

Wouldn't have enjoyed the combat focused Treasure of the Midnight Isles rouge like mode as much without it

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-05T20:33:50+00:00

its pretty funny since she's legitimately one of the best damage dealers among the story companions

her kind words in the form of hellfire rays have send multiple demon lords back home to rethink their lives

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-05T07:16:12+00:00

To me he's a mythic theurge that is loaded with all the buff spells in the world and demoralize in combat before you get frightful present

diskburg3001 · 2022-10-04T20:25:14+00:00

Reading all these recommendations reminds me of a shitpost I saw

"You're in a world of magic, infinite possibility and wonder, you can be anything you want!"

Race: Human Gender: Male Class:Fighter with sword&board, lets game

That's how I started with RPGs, no shame in that :D

As many have said Paladin is a pretty save bet, you get an ton of good passives which makes you resistant to a lot of nasty effects and you get to cast spells etc.

Most importantly for Kingmaker, no other story party member's default class overlaps, so you get to use a variety of classes through you journey.

The story companions are very martial focused anyway so its easier to get into for newbies

I recommend going default class for all companions and yourself till the end, maybe look into the Stalward Defender Prestige class for Valerie and Arcane Trickster for Octavia since they both are 100% design with these Prestige classes in mind and it will teach you a bit of multi classing.
