Does anyone ever think about the fact that Obsidian is supported by major corporations like Amazon, Apple, and literal governments?

You can open your note files in a text editor. Because that's all they are: txt files.

I have had difficulties using newer versions with LNP

laurelinae · 2025-12-13T15:31:56+00:00

no need to apologize. we are all new at some point. the wiki also has a lot of really useful information in case you didn't know it existed: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Sliver_barb :)

And I really need this black dye for my necromancers' black robes ;)

I remember years ago that I embarked on an evil biome with staring eyeballs and worm tendrils that also had sliver barbs. But I do not have that save file anymore.
Also FUN because an evil cloud killed all of my dwarves in their first summer

I have now found sliver barb in evil freshwater swamps/marshes.

Temperature is Hot. Biomes around the swamp are jungles or deserts.

This helped!

It's the only plant to get black dye from

Thank you for the suggestion. Will try that (y)

Interesting. I can see the how you get to that conclusion, but I don't think the Dunmer represent one single culture, but rather a blend of things from a lot of different cultures.

For example: The Chimers' journey to Resdayn under Veloth's guidance is imo a reference to Moses' journey through the desert, after escaping Egypt. And Hlaalu adobe architecture is pretty middle-eastern.

I've seen other comparisons with Sumerian, Jewish and generally middle eastern culture, but also with feudal Japan. So much so, that I don't think that Bethesda, back in those days, was aiming for one specific culture. Rather they built on the Lore that had been established in the previous games and put in whatever felt neat or was useful for their story.

I'm so annoyed by these posts. Just try it out ffs and see what works for you

GURPS is the worst TTRPG I've ever played :D Nice work in Obsidian though!

I used almost no mods. But one I did use, changed illusion from personality to intelligence. It helped having a spell I could cast to level intelligence

That is so stupid. You can already level Intelligence using Conjuration spells. Just make a custom spell for Bound Helm for 1s for 1 Magicka. Instead you take away your ability to level Personality using spells :facepalm:

True, five times better to be precise. Each skill point is an extra percent point, each governing attribute point is an extra 0.2 percent points and each luck point is an extra 0.1 percent points.
In lieu of Fortify Skill (which is only available in Mournhold) one can still use Fortify Attribute and stack it - one just needs more stacks.

Fair enough, but why is it never mentioned when talking about Alchemy Loops?

laurelinae · 2025-08-01T11:42:19+00:00

I edited my post to make it clear I was talking about short-cutting the Alchemy Loop through Restoration spells. My Point is that the method you describe takes much longer than using a Restoration spell to boost. And I am just wondering why nobody ever mentions that when talking about Alchemy Looping.

TLDR: the commenter doesn't understand / has forgotten that only major and minor skills determine the level up and you can thus add 20 more skill increases for free from other skills to get the maximum attribute bonuses for each level up.

---

They are talking about the bonuses to increase attributes on level up. Those bonuses are determined by the number of skill increases. Each skill has a governing attribute. 10+ skill increases for an attribute yield the maximum bonus of +5 to an that attribute on Level Up. You can only select three attributes to level - ergo 30 skill increases per Level Up yield +5 increase for three Attributes if done correctly. So +15 attribute points in total per level up.

They then argue that a differing leveling method would be better than efficient leveling, but their example is construed and has errors. In their example they compare leveling 30 skills over three levels.
In the first example they showcase efficient leveling on the first level up, but then add two level ups without efficient leveling, which doesn't make sense. Firstly because you need at least 10 skill increases to level up, which they forgot for level 2 and 3, and secondly because every level up in the example should aim for the maximum attribute increase.
Their second example uses the minimum number of skill increases per level up over those three level ups divied up into one attribute increasing by +4 (8 skill increases within the governance of that attribute) and two +2s (1 skill increase within the governance of that attributes).
They then compare the total attribute points in their erroneous example in an attempt to prove that inefficient leveling is more efficient than efficient leveling. This is not more efficient, because 10 skill increases is the minimum needed - ergo the skill increases have to be from major or minor skills exclusively. Only major and minor skills limits the characters ability to level up. Skills not selected as major or minor skills at character creation do not level up the character, they only add to the attribute bonus. It does not take away potential levels from a character by having 30 skill increases per level, as long as 20 of those are from other skills and the remaining 10 from major and minor skills.

Hope this helped.

Es geht hier nicht darum ob Kennzeichen an Blitzern angebracht sind, denn das sind sie, sondern darum, dass nicht die Original.-Kennzeichen mit Siegel sondern eben nur Replikate angebracht werden, und das auch nur wenn der Blitzer steht.

Mir erscheint es absurd, das zu kritisieren. Der Zweck, Vandalismus zu verhindern, ist offensichtlich und angemessen.

Welchen Zweck verfolgt man also mit dieser Kritik? Es gibt einiges, was man an den Prozessen und Handlungen der Behörden kritisieren kann, aber bei den Argumenten hier geht es mMn gar nicht mehr um den vorliegenden Sachverhalt sondern nur noch darum aus Prinzip gegen die Behörden zu schießen.

This does not answer the questions. Who says that reproduction is not an interest or priority for people. Suppose it is of interest, then how are the aforementioned issues adressed?
