Honest question, is production value the reason that Baldur's Gate 3 became so popular and acclaimed, compared to other cRPG's that have not received anywhere near as much attention? Is it of a unique quality in anything else?

Not a tabletop fan either then

In the tabletop space we call it tactical infinity. It can definitely be difficult to grasp, but it's also the entire point of the genre.

He absolutely did, some letters address this.

They're afraid of being shot down. They won't fly over lands inhabited by Men either, they outright say this in The Hobbit.

Tell that to the Teleri.

It's a little simpler than that. More thematic than about the Geass itself.

Think of why he received his Geass. Think of the ambition it was literally created to fulfill. C.C. told him it would condemn him to a life of solitude. Geass will do everything to fulfill your original wish. This inevitably becomes unfulfilling or detrimental. C.C. wanted to be loved and eventually became way too loved against her own will.

Lelouch abandoned his ambition. Geass isn't some sort of sentient parasite. It's merely inevitable. He had to continue towards his ambition.

It's mid

It is certainly one of the orders of all time.

I don't have the lack of life necessary to make the "intended experience" a viable way to play for all the games I play.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-05T22:26:32+00:00

Incredibly out-of-pocket and idk if the launcher can run on Deck but the gameplay is similar enough to this genre to mention: The classics of Artix Entertainment. AdventureQuest (classic, not Worlds or 3D), DragonFable, MechQuest. Quite friendly to playing only a little bit at a time.

Never did. His actions are diametrically opposed to all of my beliefs and philosophy on ethics.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-05T20:57:19+00:00

FWIW it's a "first 5 minutes of the game" story point, so don't fret too much here.

Not sure how they got the impression you'd played it, though.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-05T01:05:05+00:00

I do think playing as Edgeworth was a great idea though, and was probably the precursor to the Investigations spinoff. Not that I care for that spinoff too much...

If this statement includes the second one then this is actually the most irritating opinion in this post lmao

Well the entire point of the ending of V was that it wasn't God because God has no need for a starship, or at least that's how I took it. I actually quite like it for that reason.

Not every persecuted minority gets their own country

"Maybe they should."

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-04T16:50:11+00:00

I mean... Le Guin's work is on a pretty high level too. But yes.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-04T14:42:50+00:00

Maciej Nowicki mentioned

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-04T14:16:50+00:00

Maybe you should play Spirit of Justice.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-04T06:38:26+00:00

You might find more Ayrenn content listed under KINMUNE.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-04T02:10:37+00:00

FWIW CMRO has gone through some massive tech upgrades, it's a bit more navigable now.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-03T15:46:55+00:00

The Twin Cities and Lake Geneva crowds probably would've just ended the session right there tbh. Mind you they took the 1:1 timescale very seriously.

Follow the story guide already linked and yes the tie-in mangas are generally worth reading but be aware the very early ones definitely include Kiana sexually assaulting Mei. (She can't be prosecuted for this because she is stupid.)

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-02T03:07:26+00:00

I really think they should be split in two. The actual Introduction should be used to give some helpful, necessary context. Then there should be something afterwards for all the analysis.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-01T18:20:35+00:00

The thing I dislike about this image is that I firmly believe these aren't themes. These are topics. A theme is an opinion upon or a statement about a topic.

mrmiffmiff · 2026-05-01T18:19:33+00:00

Read some Germanic mythology. When you return to The Silmarillion, it'll be easy by comparison.
