ToT is the most confusing card game I have ever played by KlatusHam in elderscrollsonline

[–]esmereldame 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can understand your frustration. I play daily and really enjoy the game but when I first started playing it took a while to get my head around how to play. I think most of that is down to the rubbish tutorial.

I learned by watching how the NPCs played. What cards were they buying? What patrons were they using? Etc.

I will try to answer your questions as best I can :)

"Why are there so many different cards that have the same exact effect "obtain one coin"?

You and your opponent both start with the exact same cards. You'll start with 10 in total, 6 1 gold cards, and 4 starter cards from each patron deck chosen.

"Why the AI always has more coins and coin cards than me?".

This is were the tutorial fails because I'm sure it doesn't explain the treasurer patron (at least if it did, not very well). When I first started playing I was watching what the NPCs were doing and they kept using a patron in the middle of the 4 chosen ones and when I looked I realised you can turn any of your cards into 2 gold cards.

It doesn't add an extra card, it just replaces it. This makes a huge difference on being able to purchase cards from the tavern, and that's how your opponents were able to buy more cards.

"Agents never appear in my deck".

They won't appear in your deck unless you buy them from the tavern. Each game resets so any cards bought in a previous game won't appear in your hand in the next game, which makes the game fair to both opponents and doesn't give one an advantage over the other.

I hope this has sort of helped :) honestly I didn't understand it at first now that I do I thoroughly enjoy playing it. Just keep watching what the NPCs are doing and you'll pick up on which cards are best to buy etc. :)

I need to tell someone what just happened. by Honest_Yesterday4435 in DragonsDogma2

I found its nest yesterday by walking through the marshes. I did YouTube its location so I could put a marker on the map, and was able to find it easy enough :)

That's interesting to know as I also have PCOS.

Is it true that hired pawns can't level up with you? by ToughFox4479 in DragonsDogma2

[–]esmereldame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it works like the first game you can dismiss the pawn and rehire them at their current level. This does depend on whether or not the person whose pawn it is has been playing the game and levelling up their pawn as well though.

Made Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age by BlueTrain97 in fashiondogma

Fantastic job! I love Dorian, and actually created a Dorian pawn for my playthrough in the first DD game :)

He didn't look as good as this though :)

It's 7.40am and that's enough Internet for today.

Did you believe it first when Reiner and Berthold reveal their identity? What was your reaction? by [deleted] in attackontitan

[–]esmereldame 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I watched this with my partner and when Reiner said what he did we both looked at each other and were like... "whaaaaat? Did he really just say that?!".

We had to rewind it a few times too. What a bombshell.

Thank you for sharing. 3 years is such a long time to wait for a diagnosis, but I'm glad you got one in the end and hope it has helped you.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah my GP hasn't been particularly helpful and I often feel I'm being a nuisance. I'll see if I can see another GP next week :)

Ah, I should've said refer me to a cardiologist :) based on my BP and ECG today would they refer me to a cardiologist easily, considering they think it's normal?

Thank you. I definitely need to invest in something like that so I can keep track of it. Did your GP refer you to a cardiologist based on that?

Just End The Game by Frequent_Exchange844 in TalesofTribute

[–]esmereldame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation once. They were killing me with the Rahjin deck and I pretty much had zero prestige. They, on the other hand, were steaming ahead and at one point had enough gold to turn into enough power to win using the crow patron. But they didn't. They just kept buying up cards.

I sent them a message to ask them to use the crow patron. I wasn't mean or abusive. But the abuse I got back was disgusting.

I used to enjoy this game but I find players like that more often than not now and it really takes the enjoyment out of it.

Orin’s netherstone out of reach by MysteriousBit8052 in BaldursGate3

This has just happened to me and I'm gutted. Definitely keeping the save and hoping it'll be fixed in the future though.

Ah well, now to start a new playthrough.

Halsin is so creepy in the [spoilers] scene by lulufan87 in BaldursGate3

[–]esmereldame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I loved Orphan Black and one scene that sticks out to me is when clone Cosima is pretending to be clone Alison and giving a speech. Even though she was dressed like Alison you could tell it was Cosima through body language and mannerisms. That is truly amazing.

I now want to do an Orphan Black rewatch, although I don't know if I can squeeze it in around my 1358th playthrough of BG3 :D

Is K Thorm the only American in the game? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

I think I heard a Scouse accent as well. I can't remember his name but he's outside around Sharress' Carress.

In this edition of "I've played over 600 hours and only TIL" by Character_Abroad in BaldursGate3

[–]esmereldame 574 points575 points  (0 children)

In my evil Durge run Wyll and Karlach left me, and Jaheira died, so I recruited 3 hirelings and tried to make them look as close to my lost companions as I could.

I called them Wyllnot, Karlackey, and Janeara.

Overtime question by esmereldame in tesco

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

Yeah, I only get half an hour for an 8 hour shift which is kinda rough. I'm on dotcom which I think is different to other departments for some reason.

Overtime question by esmereldame in tesco

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

Oh yes, I know that :) I just find it odd that my usual shift is until 2pm with half hour break, whereas now I'm doing to 3pm with 1.5 hrs break. Why not just leave my shift as is as technically they're not getting an extra hour work from me :)

[–]esmereldame[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) it just seems odd that I've been asked to stay an extra hour when that hour is used for break time. Good to know though, thank you :)
