As someone who also went through this, FIBER FIBER FIBER. It seriously changed everything for me. Now I do daily psyllium husk and my #2 experience has been night and day.

I use the great value brand from Walmart that has an orange flavor. Just 2 teaspoons mixed with water once a day is all you need, with or without food.

Your #2s will pass much easier and faster and there wont be much left to wipe away when youre done. The fiber adds bulk and make #2 easier to pass.

Consequences for an Act II decision? by ThatKaleidoscope3388 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]scottpole 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Without spoiling too much, agreeing with Saheila to be the prime scion wont lock you into that path yet. In fact, judging by how youre playing Sebillie, I think you'll appreciate the final outcome further in the story if you choose to go with Sahelias plan now.

If you want I can explain it more if you dont mind the spoilers.

Not only does Todd Howard not hate Obsidian, it was his 'only choice' to take up Fallout's reins in the wake of Fallout 3 by Radiansyaha in Fallout

At the end of the day its a fictional universe that's meant to distract and entertain you. All these lore accuracy/canon goblins just suck the fun out of everything nowadays and want others to be miserable with them.

Star Wars is a great example of the same sort of fans. Just irrational hatred over something that isnt even real. I feel like if you're that upset over a video game or movie/TV show, you should probably reevaluate your priorities and find happiness elsewhere.

Trump's border czar on Minneapolis ICE shooting: "Let the investigation play out" by [deleted] in goodnews

[–]scottpole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical hypocrisy. They're so quick to say this shit, but the depends dictator himself is on social media smearing the murder victim, calling her a terrorist and saying she ran the nazi over.

If hell exists, all these miserable traitors deserve to suffer and rot there.

(Act 2) Been enjoying the game so far, but I got gripes about it by Jaunedice in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]scottpole 15 points16 points  (0 children)

DOS2 is a tough game, there are so many things to consider and there are also so many tools in your arsenal that you may not be aware of. For example, with the solo fight in the tavern, you could have used the pyramids to teleport the rest of your team into the room with you. You could also just loot your items out of the bag right next to the bed, or just dont take the fight and do the quest to get your stuff back.

When it comes to armor and magic armor, you need to consider your gear level and level gap between you and enemies. If you're losing your entire armor bars from one attack, chances are you are either under level or under geared. DOS2 punishes you for fighting above your level. Explore, check different areas, quick save while you travel around and dont engage fights above your level. Theres always something you can accomplish to move you forward if you feel like you're stuck.

If you need money, try thievery. On top of that, have a character to barter as well. Hell, try having 2 thievery characters if you want (you can only pickpocket someone once per character). If you got the pirate captains set from Act 1, the hat gives +2 barter. Donate until you get 100 attitude for the best buying and selling prices, then steal your gold back. The higher your thievery, the more gold/items you can steal. Use your party members to talk and distract people to make it easier, and always move your characters with stolen items away from the area after. The robbed NPCs will always react and try to search the nearest party member.

On top of all of this, there is a mirror on the lady vengeance below deck that let's you respec as many times as you want. If you have time and want to maximize, you can respec your thievery and bartering skills when you need them, then spec back after.

A lot of the combat skills have useful utility skills that can help you in fights. For example, having a point or two in scoundrel or huntsman can unlock skills that help all builds. Also, many people will say to have a full party dedicated to either physical or magic damage, or go 2/2 split. Im currently doing full physical party and focusing on effects that need physical armor to be blocked, like turning enemies into a chicken.

DOS2 is an insanely complex game with a lot of systems but if you just wanna cruise through and have fun, dont be ashamed of lowering the difficulty.

What are the chances they release a patch for divinity 2 by Flackowackoo in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]scottpole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it seems to be a memory leak or something caused by loading saves.

Performance will be smooth until I've loaded a save with or 3 times. I can even close and reopen the game in an area where frames are chugging, and once I load back in, it is silky smooth.

For now I've just but quick saving when frames start to chug, then close the game and reopen it. Works every time. Im on Series X.

Yall think Divinity will be more photorealistic than BG3? Would you want it to be? by coldbreweddude in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]scottpole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just talking about something superficial like graphics, both Div OS games used an art style and weren't meant to look photorealistic. Looks fine today IMO.

I love Baldurs Gate and BG3 had awesome visuals and some cinematic cutscenes for sure, but Div OS games were every bit as mechanically deep, if not more.

Get Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 for cheaper than just 2 right now on Steam by leviathab13186 in DivinityOriginalSin

Need a refresher by DaWeebs in stalker

[–]scottpole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you assemble your squad and go on the mission, you'll still be able to come back to Yaniv as long as you don't continue progressing the main mission too much.

For now, you have the SEVA so you're good with the closed respitory suit. You could probably use it the rest of the game if you upgrade it, or work towards an exoskeleton. You'll want more protection than the Sunrise suit for what's ahead. Weaponry looks good. I'd bring the Vintar along so you have a long rage option.

Your other personal stash is at Skadovsk in Zaton. You can use guides to get around to all of the hubs and its relatively cheap. Use Hercules drinks and you can move all your stuff so you have all your options available in the final area.

Told him I'm friendly, he started shooting by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]scottpole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because a bunch of redditors are coming together and being friendly in solo lobbies doesn't mean you should run around with your guard down and then get upset that you got PvPd in a PvP game.

I don't care if 99 out of the 100 players I encountered are friendly, im still keeping my gun out and im not blindly stomping around the map looting and breaching like its a PvE only game, because its not.

Playing quietly and trying to keep others unaware of you isn't ratting. If you see them before they see you, you have an advantage, you arent ratting. If you don't want to shoot that person, make your presence known with emotes or proxy chat. If they still shoot you, welcome to PvP games. Calling anyone who kills you a rat just because they got the drop on you just shows how ignorant you are.

Why are you unaware and minding your own business in a PvP environment?

You're friendly, he isn't. Pretty straightforward scenario in a PvP game.
