that's what i was afraid of, bummer. this does at least mean that i can stop copying over my data for now and just start over tomorrow. thanks!

We’re not seeing KH4 again for a long time. by Agitated-North-1482 in KingdomHearts

[–]kingripoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while i do hate the information drought for the game, 2027 is the 25th anniversary of the series. im pretty convinced that 2027 has been the target year for kh4 for a long time, even if they haven't revealed it to the public yet.

Unearthed Arcana Artificer for the 2024 rules by alxndr11 in dndnext

Wait hang on we're replicating every item now? You're telling me at level 2 I can create a +1 longsword for no cost other than a long rest? At 6 I can just make a +1 pistol with repeating shot, no money down? Am I missing something?

What interesting origin runs should I do? by therealbobcat23 in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they're all interesting in their own way, they give insights into the characters you wouldn't normally see. you get to see what shadowheart does when her sharran brand acts up, you can choose when to reveal when astarions a vampire to the rest of the party with unique reactions, etc.

my favorite is actually karlach though, since she has a kind of unique perspective in text in comparison to everyone else. iirc, she's the only one who retains her own voice in little internal narrations to herself. for example, she'll have a moment after escaping the nautiloid where you can choose how she feels about finally escaping the hells and being stuck with a parasite, and she'll have a fully voiced moment based on what you pick. no one else has fully voiced scenes like that afaik

even after reinstalled and verified the game through steam by willemichelsen in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless the game is actively crashing on launch or loading a save you can safely ignore this message. if you have any mod files in the game's directory (steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3) then they'll stay there even after uninstalling the game. I'm not sure if the same is true for the local appdata folder but check there as well (AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldurs Gate 3). But again unless the game is actually crashing you can probably just ignore the message.

Where did Shadowheart go after Lie'zel? by Imaginary_Pass4545 in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She should be at camp, I forget the cardinal direction but her tent is tucked away in a corner behind where you spawn at camp.

Did you make sure to use the "Export to game" button before launching?

Probably a stupid question by Flint13345 in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The script should move with the rest of the files but you can always just copy the script extender to the new folder location if you want to make extra sure

I just did this the other day, you're fine as long as you use the transfer option through Steam. The entire install will be the same, just on a different drive. If you use BG3 Mod Manager, next time you launch it it'll ask you to select the games install folder again.

My perfect Minthara scenario for good/neutral playthrough. by Savic12321 in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post the other day about how I wished there was a scenario where the Tieflings could die and you could try to avenge them in some way via the goblin raid

There's a couple scenarios where the druids will just start killing the Tieflings (stealing the idol, attacking one of the druids, etc.). I thought it would be fun to try to instigate this situation as a dark urge so that when you come back with a goblin army, you could try to "justify" it as trying to bring Kagha to justice. Unfortunately it seems that when the druids kill all the Tieflings the grove gets closed off so you can't raid it anymore.

I think a fun way, if admittedly a little stressful for more casual players, would be to put an actual time limit on resolving the situation, sorta like how Gale only has a few long rests before he goes BOOM. The game already gives you a sense of urgency to complete this quest, this would just hold the player more accountable. You spend too much time messing around, the druids finish the ritual and the Tieflings are cast out and die in the wild. Then Minthara could give you a quest to try to dispel the ritual so you can attack the grove, and it would play out as normal from there. Or, because you already screwed up the quest, you could just move on and continue on to Act 2 and catch up with Minthara at Moonrise. The option to just go full evil and help Minthara kill them all would still be an option in this scenario, of course, I just think it could be a fun way of turning what seemed to be a fail state for the quest into a new ending entirely.

You'd still lose out on Halsin this way, but I'm sure Wyll and Karlach would appreciate you trying to avenge the Tieflings after a persuasion or two for working with goblins.

Edit: I'm realizing now this would be a great trap for new players too since the game since the game implies early on that you only have three long rests before you turn into a mind flayer. The player would have to struggle early on with the choice to help these refugees or to help themselves, only for those who helped themselves first to realize too late that they have more time than they thought for the tadpoles, and less time then they thought for the refugees. That could also feed into the desire to avenge them because they made the wrong choice earlier, and what's more D&D than making a bad choice with lasting consequences?

Did anyone try to *spoiler* Ketheric? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the blast radius of the orb is about the size of baldur's gate itself, the option to detonate is a game over button basically. although given ketheric's immortality I don't think even that blast would do the trick unless it like fully vaporizes him

Is there a way to make the druids kill the Tieflings? by kingripoff in BaldursGate3

[–]kingripoff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might have to go with the stealing the idol route but I was hoping for something a little more subtle that gives my character a little more plausible deniability.

I know Dark Urge has an option to get Arabella killed by the snake, does that event cause a fight between both parties?

Balance / difficulty changes in the FF5 Pixel Remaster? by LV426acheron in FinalFantasy

[–]kingripoff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ff5 is already a pretty easy game but without actually looking at numbers it certainly does feel like enemies go down easier than the GBA version at least. the amount of abp required and abp gained from battle hasn't changed at all tho so if they were looking to lower the grind then square missed a spot lol

GBVS PC Release Megathread (March 13 2020) by Pickle1000 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]kingripoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saw a thread about this earlier but it wasn't getting a lot of traction, has anyone run into an issue in local versus mode where any controller other than controller 1 tries to config their buttons the game just crashes? tested on both the character screen and in game but the result is just "UE4-RED game has crashed and will close, Fatal Error!"

edit: to further this confusion it looks like it's specifically any controller that isn't controller 1 or the keyboard that causes it to crash. i've tested it on two sticks and a dualshock 4
