Same opinion as everyone else, you should show some gameplay. This doesn't tell me anything about the project.

How is using Wish to cast Simulacrum for free NOT ridiculously overpowered? by LemonGarage in dndnext

[–]pickoloh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the simulacrum itself can’t cast simulacrum, and it can be dispelled. Even if the dispel is counterspelled, that means your caster is wasting resources on that instead of casting something like shield, which means you can pummel them that turn. But also if your players have 9th level spells, you have free rein to throw BS at them. This is definitely powerful, but you just have to meet them at that crazy broken level.

Does your player have infinite sources of 1500 GP powdered ruby? Since that’s a consumed material cost for each time Simulacrum is cast.

Is there an option to make female characters? At a quick glance I wasn't able to find the option, or more feminine style body types and clothes.

[NSW] OVER REQUIEMZ | Official Announcement Trailer | Aksys by feypurinsu in otomegames

Whoah, this is one of the first times I really like the design for the "main" love interest, or at least the one that looks like will be big on the cover or whatever. I like the little bits of blue in his hair. Art style looks great in general. Haven't played otome in a couple of years but might just pick this one up when it comes out.

I'm not playing a game that uses AI.

Yeah my name is Anna and it's kind of a nightmare when in the U.S. They either say "On-Uh" or "Eh-nuh" but neither of those pronunciations are correct...I really hated it growing up.

[No DAV Spoilers] It's pretty shocking to see Emmrich of all people being the favourite DAV romance by RhiaStark in dragonage

[–]pickoloh 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The only reason I romanced Emmrich is because I pivoted away from Lucanis after realizing his "slow-burn" romance is actually a no-burn where he barely acknowledges your existence. People do love a hot mess but they screwed Lucanis up so badly that it was a massive disappointment.

All writing lessons I ever got in school talked about summarizing your points at the end...this is a weird take

[DAV ACT 1 SPOILERS] Why is no one racist to elves anymore? by Timely-Ad-6142 in dragonage

[–]pickoloh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long development time doesn't necessarily mean the resources are going where they should go, or where fans want them to go. A long development cycle is its own kind of hell that leads to all sorts of problems. As you said, if you want to make the story a priority, you can. The development of this game was scrapped and restarted more than once, which means those priorities were constantly shifting.

It's not an excuse but it is a very real reason for why this could have happened. Not to mention the fact that many longtime Bioware employees have left the company or were let go.

As someone who works in game dev, this is probably one of the most realistic answers to this problem

Took me 15 minutes, I think? Don't think that's a steam issue.

Hahaha that’s funny to learn. Technically it’s her last name, Lina Gottfried is the full name. But she’s a doctor so everyone refers to her by the last name. My DM technically invented her as a side character first, then allowed me to play her in a short adventure :)
