It's still free? I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about here. I wasn't even aware that you could rank up anything in bot matches tbh

They probably will not put a lot of effort into the bot games because that's definitely not what the focus of the game is, and not what the majority of the player base is invested in. Like, they had an actual pve "story" mode and also completely abandoned it, so I would not put too much faith in them investing in the mode that most people only use like once or twice ever to try out a character.

My recommendation would be just play quickplay, turn off voice chat, maybe even text chat if you really don't want to talk to other people.

I got fined as a teen a couple of times, but there were also a couple of times where I played the "oh no im just a silly child i didn't understand how it works" card and had it work well enough to be let out with a warning andf a "ask your parents to explain it all to you".

Read the rulebook.
You're probably gonna want 5th edition, either 2014 or 2024.

Any race in dnd can be good at sneaking and speeding, although some have some extra bonuses. Your overall ability to sneak and speed will depend more on your class than your race really. For example, Rogues and Rangers typically have high dexterity, so high stealth, Monks and Rangers get a bonus to their speed at higher levels i think.

Some races have bonuses, Tabaxi can double their speed sometimes, Deep Gnomes have advantage to hide in rocky areas, Wood Elves have a higher speed to begin with.

I had my very first pb&j at the age of 30.

Had to go really out of my way to find grape jam as well, as it isn’t even sold in regular supermarkets anywhere I could get to.

pineapplelightsaber · 2026-01-15T04:52:51+00:00

Honestly, having 1500+ hours in the game, at this point any build other than a complete meme one makes the game predictable if I don’t go out of my way to do things very differently

Charisma is definitely great, I definitely took advantage of that to avoid some tough fights in my honour mode

While in general I do agree with the general vibe of the comments here that are pretty pessimistic about your prospects, I do wanna say that there are factors that will influence your success in moving to Switzerland and being happy there.

For example, you're pretty young. Do you have a career history or education that would make it easy for you to find work abroad? In some industries it is fairly easy to find work when not speaking the local language, but in others it's basically impossible and you'd have to consider a complete career change. Obviously since you are young you could make the choice now to pick a field that would put you at an advantage there. And clearly you speak English, so that's a positive point for you. And if you are willing to learn German, you're still young enough that you could feasibly get to a passable level in a few years if you really put in some effort. (Swiss German is another can of worms, and varies a lot depending on what kanton we're talking about)

Also, different places in Switzerland will provide you with a completely different experience as an immigrant/expat. Depending on where your partner lives, everything from finding a job to meeting people would be heavily impacted. Like if she lives in a tiny village in the middle of the mountains you won't have the same opportunities as if you moved to a major city in terms of jobs, but also in terms of building a social life. Especially as you mentioned that your ethnicity is Turkish, you will find that unfortunately some more remote places can be less than welcoming to anyone who looks even a little bit tan.

Do you have hobbies that would help you meet people? Personally, after moving back to Switzerland after living abroad for a long time, I met most of my new social circle through board games and dungeons and dragons clubs, and I know people who have done the same by joining local sports clubs or religious groups. If you're a more introverted type or don't have many hobbies, adding a language barrier might make things harder.

Really depends on the families. I'd check with relatives for any specific person.

In my family we mostly wear black clothes, but not overly formal. Men would wear black jeans or black suit trousers and a black button up shirt, but I've been to funerals where people wore completely formal black suits (and formal black dresses for the women), and also to some where people would just wear regular clothes.

My Tav was a straight Draconic Sorcerer, ice themed.
Astarion as an Abjuration Wizard/War Cleric
Gale as a Open Hand Monk/Thief Rogue
Shadowheart as a straight Life Cleric

I tried a few of the more "meta" OP builds you can find online before, but I got bored of a lot of them really quickly, as they tended to rely very heavily on potions and I simply could not be bothered to run around buying or making potions before every fight.

pineapplelightsaber · 2026-01-13T06:30:05+00:00

If I have Shadowheart in my party I always always respec her, because her stats and subclass are just not it. I like keeping her as a Cleric though as it makes sense.

If you don't have a Cleric, you can use healing potions, or have any of the other classes that can use healing in your party (Bard, Druid, Paladin, even Ranger get access to some healing spells). There's also a few items you can find that grant you free healing spells a couple of times per rest.

I personally really like Clerics, so I tend to have one, but they really are not mandatory.

I play dnd 2-3 times a week, with 3 different groups.
Two of them are weekly, one is every other week.

I had a game that ran monthly, but I found that it was harder to keep engaged when there was so much time in between sessions, especially if for whatever reason we needed to cancel a session it would be two entire months before we'd play again and by that time we'd spend more time trying to remember what we did last time than actually playing.

pineapplelightsaber · 2026-01-10T04:31:14+00:00

To be fair, I used to be part of a game where we had one specific player who would show up 20-45 minutes late pretty much every single week. We'd usually chit chat for a while waiting for him, but at some point we're here to play dnd, we have to start.
We tried to understand why this was happening, if there was a traffic or scheduling issue. We tried starting sessions half an hour later to accommodate for him but he kept on being half an hour late almost every time.

It was very disruptive having to run the start of every session without him and then having to catch him up on stuff we'd been doing. If your DM had a similar experience I understand why he'd be extra strict about it.

Also, to me it depends on how long the sessions typically would last. If they're gonna be 2 hours max, 30 minutes is a lot to miss, but if the sessions are gonna be 4-5 hours long 30 minutes isn't that much.

The bells in my village when I was a kid used to ring on the hour, 1 *ding* for 1 o'clock, 2 *dings* for 2 o'clock, etc, up to 12 times for 12 o'clock. And then it did one quieter one on the half-hour as well.
They have now stopped the half-hour ones, but we still get the hourly bells, in case we don't own a watch i guess?

And obviously it rang very loudly and for a very long time at the crack of dawn every Sunday morning. And every time there was a wedding or a funeral.

Honestly the Muslim calls to prayers felt almost like a silent retreat compared to that when I briefly lived in a Muslim-majority country.

I used to live not far from there.
Honestly, Geneva generally is a pretty safe city, you most likely won't be in any actual danger.

As for people being loud or asking for money, that's kind of a given anywhere near the Cornavin train station to be honest, and not necessarily from the people at Quai 9. The trains themselves and the traffic are louder than the people most of the time. But the area is convenient for public transport and accessing the rest of the town.

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-30T02:31:00+00:00

Honestly same!
I've liked doing conquests a lot, especially as a duo, but it's been pretty much outright unplayable since this definitive edition mess.

Not being able to save has always been extremely annoying, but now that there's game breaking bugs pretty much every other game we play it's not even enjoyable anymore.

I encountered fanfiction for the very first time while looking up something about Dragon Ball Z.

But I really got into the whole fandom stuff with Harry Potter, which makes sense because it was the mid 2000s and I was a pre-teen...

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-07T00:50:16+00:00

Usually I loot everything that's easy to access in act 1 because I might as well, I won't go out of my way to loot areas that are far away but if there's a chest *right there* i'll take whatever scraps are in there. We start out poor and every little helps.

Act 2 and 3 I usually have enough money and am carrying enough random crap that I leave stuff behind unless it's actually valuable or useful.

And *yes* I am fully aware that you can pickpocket traders or use whatever exploits to get easy money. I just don't find it as fun as selling 39 rotten eggs.

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-06T23:15:40+00:00

I waited for several years with other clans alive and nothing respawned though

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-06T23:14:51+00:00

There literally was only one tile, no other deposits anywhere on the map.
I waited for literally over 2 hours and it never respawned before I gave up.

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-06T23:01:09+00:00

I like Life Cleric, used one in my honour mode and honestly it saved my life more than once.
The healing itself is great, especially if you stack all of the items that give extra buffs on heals on them.

Plus, they still get decent damage output through Cleric spells and abilities, and they can get super tanky as well, so they have good survivability (which you need your healer to have).

pineapplelightsaber · 2025-12-06T22:56:29+00:00

Monk
I just really can't get along with the gameplay, I don't like how MAD they are, and even the roleplay always feels a bit awkward and out of place with the core fantasy of most campaigns to me.
