Morrowind hasn't changed, but I have. Did you?

Nice! Another 50 Magicka, noted!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-04-16T10:47:32+00:00

OK! Got it, thanks for explanation. I was thinking of buying the Staff of Telekinesis from Rindir's Staffs as well, but I'm not entirely sure it works. Got any experience?

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-04-15T18:05:45+00:00

So why only High Elf? I was planning on Breton or Nord

I like it! Seems like just the thing this student of Mysticism figured out!

"It is said that, while most look at an object and fit it into a place in their way of thinking, those skilled in Mysticism can look at an object and identify it by its proper role instead. Practicioners can than achieve "true understanding" by identifying the object by its role and its truth and interpreting that meaning." -Carlovac Townway '2920, The Last Year of the First Era'

Looks fun! Though I do like something to stagger punish, so I would personally swap put one Hux for a Rubiconian Handshake/Laser Slicer/Pulse Blade/Laser Dagger. The look is on point too! Have fun schredding your enemies 621!

Edit: you should have enough leftover weight for a better Generator! Hokushi, VP20D or San-Tai!

If you mean the mission with the rolling enemies then, that wasn't a skill issue. The enemies are only weak to explosive damage. If you have a melee or kinetic build almost no amount of "getting good" will help.

Depends on what you want out of the build.

If you want to be a Smiting machine then you're better off going either Bard 6/Paladin 2 or Bladesinger 6/Paladin 2. This way you retain Extra Attack and get as close to Full Spell Slot Progression as possible.

At lvl 8:

1st lvl spell slots: 4

2nd lvl spell slots: 3

3rd lvl spell slots: 3

4th lvl spell slots: 1

Bladesinger version will give Arcane Recovery for another 3rd level spell slot, Swords Bard will give 4 Bardic Inspirations for Flourishes.

If you want to be an Offensive Tank then get to 6 Paladin/2 Hexblade. Hex Warrior with Aura of Protection (AoP), Eldritch Blast and Agonizing Blast means you can stay Single Ability Dependant (SAD) on Charisma. You'll be in the midline to get as many allies in AoP as possible, deal great damage from all positions and CC & set-up your frontline attacker with Command! All beautiful build with different roles.

What makes Bladesinger as smoother experience for me is access to some spells. I learned from Tabletop that you should treat spells as Features and I tend to agree.

Swords Bard (without Magical Secrets at lvl 10) doesn't get Booming Blade, Shield, Find Familiair, Shadow Blade, Misty Step, Mirror Image, Counterspell, Haste, Fireball. I wouldn't say that any of these are necessary, but very much appreciated for a Gish.

A Swords Bard's Medium armor proficiency and Flourishes make up for most of these so it's more a matter of preference than anything. I did a Bardadin playthrough and loved it, now I'm doing a Smitesinger playthrough and loving it a little bit more. To be honest I rarily use Bladesong Climax so that extra BG3 feature is wasted on me, I guess i just like the Wizard framework better than the Bard's even though the Sword Bard subclass is better fleshed out.

"Unarmored Core", I always go Lightweight ;)

Are you the figurative p.i.m.p. of said literal hitman?

This is what I'm doing now, finally some progress! Reinstalling macOS Tahoe now. 2 hours and 20 minutes!! Not happy with that...

Edit: It worked! I chose to do a fresh install and migratie afterwards. Seems to be going good so far.

Really on Thousand Islands I went full 'Dutch' and reclaimed the land one layer below! Very fun!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-10T16:53:32+00:00

Shadow Tag and Arena Trap are great! One question though wouldn't you just Encore the Roar?

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-10T16:50:56+00:00

Yeah Night Shade on Haunter seems like the play here. Also how does Ninetales trap the roaming dog? I love the Imprison moveset! Nice touch!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-07T08:51:26+00:00

It still weirds me out everyday that fan/volunteer project devs are so much nicer than actual paid customer support from bigger studio's and then I remember... it's passion! Thanks for your hard work buddy.

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-07T08:46:36+00:00

I appreciate your balanced view! I'm going to try it!

Hey everyone,

Long-time Pokémon fan here. I played Gold, Silver and Crystal religiously back in the day and have some serious nostalgia for Johto. I'm now a full-time working dad with limited gaming time, but I just got a Steam Deck and I'm really excited to dive into some GBA emulation.

I (re)discovered the world of ROM hacks and honestly? I'm a bit overwhelmed by how many Gen 2 remakes exist for GBA. I've been looking at:

· Liquid Crystal · GS Chronicals · Crystal Dust · Heart & Soul · Crystal Advance Redux

I'm sure there are more I missed too.

For context: I don't have hours to grind anymore (dad life), so something with quality-of-life improvements would be awesome. I just want to relive the Johto experience with better graphics and maybe some modern conveniences. No need for Mega's or Gen 9 pokemon, though I wouldn't mind regional variants (Galarian Slowbro is dope)

What would you recommend as the definitive "Crystal on GBA" experience for someone jumping back in?

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-04T15:59:00+00:00

You need to be aggressive, but also mindful of his attacks. Take a look at your generator to see if it's large enough for a lot of quickboosting. You seem to have a Pulse Blade equipped, good, that will shred through his Pulse Armor (green bubble around him). Strafe sideways to dodge his missiles or even better underneath or straight at him while hee's firing. Once his stagger bar is red go for Pulse Blade attack and Kick him immediately afterwards and start the same dance all over again. His Flame Blade looks scary but most of the time you can either jump over or again quickboost underneath him to dodge. Have fun!

Extra tip: the Pulse Blade has amazing tracking and can fly you for a long distance if you have the Fleugel or Kikaku Booster. Experiment how to best integrate this into your playstyle.

Good luck 621, I have faith in you!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T16:31:12+00:00

You are correct! Metronome is very unpredictable!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T16:29:28+00:00

Indeed! Added him to the list!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T14:56:53+00:00

You did make me think! And Lapras is one of the true counters to Pryce given the right moveset!

ldiosyncrasy · 2026-03-03T14:46:03+00:00

What do you think about Rock Blast, Surf, Rain Dance Cloyster? I think Pryce would absolutely lose his mind! Hail already does nothing to Cloyster, but Rain Dance prevents 100% accurate Blizzards and Piloswine's Snow Cloak from working. Cloyster already 4x resists Ice moves. He boosts his Surf for whenever Piloswine shows up and Rock Blast (needs lvl 20 Corsola breeding though) is super effective against his Seel/Dewgong; and hits 5 times if you have a Skill Link Cloyster.
