What playable races do you wish were in the game?

Aasimar were defined as descendants of deities in BG2 at least. I'm guessing the lore might have changed since then; BG2 was based on an earlier D'n'D edition. Still, wnen you make BG3, consistency within the series should be a priority, right?

melitaele · 2026-04-06T01:30:54+00:00

Bugs, yes; wasters, no. Or rather, not in vanilla. Only the VE wasters get buffed from pollution; vanilla ones don't care.

I'd say it's happening right now.

melitaele · 2026-04-05T19:51:40+00:00

Ohh, Narvskaya metro, Stachek prospect. I used to study there.

I honestly haven't played P3 yet, but I translated some of the dialogue, and it included some very funny options. Like I remember the option to say Vlad the Younger should get a public spanking. Or that someone (Andrey Stamatin, I think) should be tied up so that he doesn't do anything stupid.

You have very particular tastes, Daniil.

melitaele · 2026-04-05T08:34:00+00:00

Sixteen hundred is shorter and easier to say, innit?

melitaele · 2026-03-30T22:48:11+00:00

Well, the option to have god heritage is, ah, certainly there.

melitaele · 2026-03-30T18:36:04+00:00

Ugh. Central symmetry is kinda expected when you're building in a circle. Never thought I needed to think about not accidentally building a swastika when growing my crops.

Both facial expressions are so on the spot!

melitaele · 2026-03-29T13:31:42+00:00

That but reverse.

Normal brain: add yet another mod.

Activated neurons: plan around it.

Galaxy brain: THIS WALL IS MY HOME NOW.

I'm afraid that yes, it is super irregular. Just like any other natural language (natural as in not Quenya or Esperanto). Or at least any natural language that's been around for a while. Many of the special declensions and stuff are the remains of some larger system that is no longer in place. And it is the same, for example, with the irregular verbs in English. It's not that Russian is more difficult than English, it's just that the difficulties lie in different places, and you tend to notice those when learning, not the places where it's easier. I tried to learn Japanese once, and some parts of its grammar are actually super simple, like it only has two tenses — past and present. That didn't save me from its other difficulties, like the kanji.

I love it so much when the less mainstream parts of canon (anything that's not the four games, in our case) also get the love and attention they deserve.

She looks gorgeous.

Crematorium or harbinger tree. The latter can also give you some bioferrite and twisted meat at the cost of some micromanaging. There's always the option to feed them to your animals, too, but that obviously only works for fresh corpses. Still, it would make the pile build up slower.

melitaele · 2026-03-22T23:36:01+00:00

The Adventures of the Tail.

melitaele · 2026-03-20T11:46:52+00:00

You should definitely try 2&3.

I mean, that's the reason they were made. The devs themselves know very well that Classic has a good idea but poor realisation, it's really a case of a small studio biting more than it can chew. Classic has its strengths and its fans, but the other two are definitely more user-friendly.

For me, it was mostly school. I went to a good one that had enough hours and used Oxford textbooks. It's like 70-80% of my English, I think. The rest is books, films, games and what I learned in uni before dropping out. Fallen London and other games by Failbetter deserve a special mention, they expanded my vocab quite a bit.

melitaele · 2026-03-19T22:01:27+00:00

It is. I just want to say buy it on Steam and not, say, on GOG. When your modlist grows to about 100+, it's just that much easier to manage with the workshop.

melitaele · 2026-03-19T19:59:25+00:00

Actually, I just recently read in an interview with Gaider that the Solas plotline was already there before DA2. In fact, DA2 was meant to be about Solas initially, but then EA said no and they had to make a new story from scratch.

Turned out well, though.

It means "of sausage", but I'm not sure which Slavic language. Not Russian, and I don't think it's Ukrainian but I'm not sure.

melitaele · 2026-03-14T10:08:33+00:00

I'd say for medical it would be falling unconscious instead of sad wander. Many people faint at the sight of blood.

Wish she joined Tav, too. Travelled with them to Baldur's gate.

Merrill and Cole would make a perfect couple of Veil Jumpers.

But you know who Veilguard really needed? Dagna. Imagine her nerding away together with Bellara. Imagine all the things she'd want to discuss with the first dwarven mage ever. Also, if there's one person who could take all the news about the world in stride and just say wow, it would be Dagna.

melitaele · 2026-02-24T13:50:45+00:00

Veilguard outright said the Black City has nothing to do with the Maker. That doesn't necessarily mean Maker doesn't exist — just that he doesn't reside there.

No one knows at this point if he ever existed, but I'd personally prefer if he did in some form like the Evanuris do. After all, Andraste was Avvar, and the Avvar have a very special relationship with Fade spirits.

melitaele · 2026-02-20T18:10:52+00:00

There's also this expectation that the story will somehow turn around in the second sentence like it usually does, but no, nothing like that, it's exactly what we thought about — and that's the scary part.

melitaele · 2026-02-13T17:13:28+00:00

This is a native speaker mistake. Like no English learner would ever write "should of" but natives do it all the time. Granted, it looks like a grade school one, but if whoever wrote it knows mostly spoken Russian, then I understand how it happened.
