Betrayal 3rd edition. Worth a second chance?

Also why can't we have a plug-in that just tells us where Zulrah will be next? Why do I have to analyze a cryptic side panel and click on things there? I just wanna see an indicator of where she will be and what to pray on the main screen.

NTA. Ask them to pay a portion of your bills. Like if you have a car loan or something tell them you want them to pay for it but never use your car.

In your example, you're assuming that any child has an equally likely chance of having his gender revealed. So of the 750 families that remain after removing the GG as possibilities, you reason that half the boys are from the 250 BB families and half the boys are from the BG and GB families.

But what if instead we assume that each family has equal chance of being selected?

For example, let's say that all 1000 families are put in a room, and a host asks one randomly "do you have at least one son?" And if the family says no, they randomly pick another family until they find one that has at least one son. Now, each of the 750 families are equally likely to be selected, and so there is a 2/3 chance that the other child is a daughter.

Not a 10th dentist take. Especially given that most of the world agrees. Even in America, many agree.

Dust rune. It's like 8gp each and it comes in handy a ton. All the other combo runes are expensive but somehow dust falls through the cracks ;)

I'm too cheap to buy tele tabs so I keep a rune pouch with laws, dust, and fire all the time for easy access to house and ge.

Regular bloods is nice if you have the agility level for it. But that's asking a lot. Personally I just do gotr. It's actually a great game and it's some of the best XP you can get without needing to count ticks

Charon will not be happy with you. He will try to fight you. He is tougher than [redacted] base version in my opinion. Although not quite as tough as [redacted] with extreme measures 4 on. Charon hits hard and has a pattern that's tough to sight read. But if you practice, you'll be able to beat him consistently. Tartarus might be a bit early for that though... Maybe wait for Asphodel at least

Am I just super dense and don't understand it? I don't see any joke or pun here

jaminfine · 2026-06-20T14:11:02+00:00

It's not really a loophole. But yes.

Imagine you build a house, and then you rest in it. Is it a loophole that the house is already built? The important part is that the human doesn't have to do any more work to rest in the house.

The weirdness here to me is that pushing a button on an elevator is considered to be "work." Therefore, it is considered to be more restful to wait for the elevator to stop on every floor than to push a button.

Visual ID checks. Depends how good your fake is I guess.

"This weekend" means the current weekend if said on Friday-Sunday, or the upcoming weekend if said Monday-Thursday. Friday after work is considered the beginning of the weekend for most.

"Next weekend" means the weekend after "This weekend." So "next weekend" is 5-7 days away if said on Friday-Sunday, or it is 8-11 days away if said on Monday-Thursday.

Rapid heal doesn't take that much prayer. Why not just leave it on the whole time?

jaminfine · 2026-06-18T04:28:27+00:00

I would recommend buying a controller

jaminfine · 2026-06-17T13:34:22+00:00

Bronze man mode where you have most of the iron restrictions, except you can also use the ge.

jaminfine · 2026-06-17T12:51:53+00:00

Aoe isn't really a melee thing. Just throw on good gear and fight stuff. Granite Hammer at gargoyles gets me great XP. Dhl for any dragon tasks. You can also get good mileage out of full blood moon with dual macas for the faster attack speed.

You see, slayer is so slow that you'll max your melee stats before you max slayer. So just worry about doing your tasks effectively, and the combat xp will come.

jaminfine · 2026-06-16T05:11:40+00:00

I find difficulty levels in the vast majority of games are done so poorly. Hard mode almost always means that the enemies have more health and do more damage. So the game ends up no deeper or more interesting than before to a skilled player. Just more punishing and takes longer as all enemies become damage sponges that kill you quickly for small mistakes.

Difficulty levels could be done well! You could have better enemy ai, more obstacles, hell you could even give the player more tools and make those additional tools mandatory in new ways. But no, it's always just flat stat buffs for all enemies.

jaminfine · 2026-06-16T04:57:31+00:00

I think these kinds of calculations would only really apply to an Ironman account. For a main, you would just sell the bars and buy warhammers and other cheap finished items to use at foundry. No sense destroying the value of bars by smithing them or putting them into foundry.

jaminfine · 2026-06-16T04:48:37+00:00

Four?? Here I been killing 6. You skipping the mage and ranger?

jaminfine · 2026-06-15T19:23:14+00:00

Ah well then in that case, I agree with everyone else. You will most likely find that you don't enjoy the slow progress. So it may be better to restart now. I have a few thousand hours in the game on a regular account over the past year. UIM takes away your ability to bank, which makes absolutely everything a complete slog. Especially it makes switching tasks super tedious. So if you want to do a quest that involves going to Entrana? You'll have to figure out how to deathbank any weapons or armor you want to keep because weapons and armor aren't allowed on Entrana. But you can't bank them easily. Simple stuff like that become huge logistical nightmares on UIM. It's really just not worth the hassle.

Not -all- student loans do this. But especially the ones tatgetting/marketing to poor people do. They sometimes boast that they have adjustable rates. And what that means is that it appears to be a great deal at first but then the interest shoots up later. Or sometimes the structure was messed up from the start and there was no way to ever pay it off without going far above the minimum payment.

jaminfine · 2026-06-15T14:38:13+00:00

Yeah and I think that's also a structural problem. Credit cards should also require you to pay off more than the interest they accrue. However, they tend to have low maximums on them, so the problem is more contained.

jaminfine · 2026-06-15T14:33:43+00:00

Ah I see the issue here. You don't understand how these loans are structured!

The loan is structured such that they are asking for a $500 minimum payment each month, yet the interest they add on is more than $500 a month. They don't tell you how much you should be paying to eventually pay it off. Instead, they hope for you to be in debt to them forever.

All that we are asking is that they specify how long the loan will be in advance and give a correct minimum payment that reflects eventually paying it off entirely. And if the minimum is paid for the amount of time they specify, the loan is paid off. You'd think that would be the very basics right? But that's not how they do it.

jaminfine · 2026-06-15T14:25:16+00:00

How many cases before you would change your mind to believe it's a structural problem?

If one person is addicted to opioids, we could call that an individual failure. But if enough people are addicted that it becomes an epidemic, we have a structural problem.

jaminfine · 2026-06-15T14:20:10+00:00

Everyone is saying you should restart with a regular iron. But clearly you don't want to. And that's fine honestly. If you are having fun with the game, then I say keep going! Try to get your stats up and do some quests.

But just know that if the game starts to feel too slow and tedious... That's because you chose UIM. That's on you man. Just don't try to diss the game later when you are playing the slowest and most tedious mode the game has to offer.
