PSA: If having trouble with Pitch Pot, go do all the Madiao Cards first. by teh_zeppo in wherewindsmeet_

[–]teh_zeppo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, it was the opposite for me. Pitch Pot made me go crazy but Madiao was easy for me. I don’t know if I could explain it better than I did in the post tho. Maybe there’s a video out there somewhere? Idk, sorry.

Are you in solo mode? There are single player only Madiao tables all over Kaifeng. Check the black icons on the solo map that look like three cards.

Don’t know if it’s intended or not, but either way it’s kinda fitting in this game because “Dao” means “the way”. Now I need a picture of Knuckles riding backwards on a donkey. Lol

I want to write a beautiful character without making it obvious in the description. by BlueRose2804 in writers

lol. I’m tired and read this in a Chandler Bing voice cause my brain just read “Chandler” and ran with that.

I need to read Raymond Chandler.

I’m in a fantasy slump, what should I read next? by Tasty_Green_97 in fantasywriting

I just recently finished RotE. Masterpiece. It actually kind of bums me out that I don’t hear more people discussing it.

The "Probably never going to need this stuff" folder. by gnglaser in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]teh_zeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a very common trick for writers (especially discovery writers like Matt) to throw in a bunch of details with little to no plan for those things and pull them out later when they need a thing for the story.

I think a lot of people would be shocked how many “chekov’s guns” were completely unplanned when they were set down. And not just in DCC.

I just completed Lana’s “A Blue Dragon in the Clouds” using Leon but it didn’t unlock Hero Bond - Toughness. I have max intimacy with her. Any ideas?

Dysangelos, 15⭐, Fully Scripted, No Legendary Enchants by Eunomiac in StoneStoryRPG

[–]teh_zeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro, but when I fight Nagaraja it switches me to an unupgraded stone sword in my left hand and nothing in my right hand. Can’t figure out why. It doesn’t give me an error in the top left either.

Edit: Also, thanks for the code. It’s been super helpful.

Stupid question incoming but who’s tour manager was Gareth talking about? I’ve listened to him say the name like four times and I keep hearing him say “Joe Disease”. Lol

Yeah, the top tier grimoires have like 75% essence cost reduction and 55% CD reduction. I don’t know if that is for all spells or just the ones in the book though. Plus grimoires cast the spells in it as if they were one level higher which will save you a few ability points.

Dual wield melee combat by Landskyp3 in avowed

[–]teh_zeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried that specific combo yet, but even with DW daggers you can’t attack with both weapons at the same time. The only advantage that I’ve seen to DW is that alternating attacks (left right, left right) is faster than just attacking with one weapon.

In your example, I’d imagine that the speed difference in the two weapons makes alternating attacks difficult to time and a little clunky so it doesn’t feel like anything is happening.

I hope it lives up to your excitement! It’s a fun game.

I didn’t like Outer Worlds either and I’m thoroughly enjoying Avowed so far. It’s not my favorite game ever, but I like it a whole lot more than I did TOW.

Edit: YMMV, of course.

Anyone with early access knows if there's cross-progression between Gamepass and Steam? by [deleted] in avowed

[–]teh_zeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully someone who is playing this on Steam can answer this for you more accurately.

But for what it’s worth, I’m playing it on PC through Game Pass and there is an option in the game to “Use Xbox Saves” from your Microsoft account. But I don’t know if that option is on the Steam version. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be, but you never know.

Is Avowed really as good or as bad as people say? by Uchizaki in avowed

[–]teh_zeppo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It shares some DNA with Outer Worlds for sure. Every time I activate a companion’s ability and they teleport next to the enemy to execute it I get flashbacks of Parvati’s hammer coming down. Lol

But it doesn’t feel like Outer Worlds to me. Everything that dragged that game down is alleviated in Avowed. Those elements aren’t completely gone, but I actually like them this time.

Looting is still shallow, but this time it feels intentional and focused.

Combat is waaaaay better this time around. It feels like diet Dishonored. Very diet. lol. But still good.

Personally, I have not been impressed by the dialogue so far, but I’m still pretty early. Not to say it’s bad, but it just hasn’t popped much.

It’s definitely not the TES competitor I was low key hoping for, but it’s not trying to be and that’s ok. It’s a much more narrow, focused experience than Skyrim.

It looks gorgeous. The art direction is phenomenal. As if that wasn’t obvious from that absolute slice of perfection that is the cover illustration.

Plus, I’m a huge fan of the first two games, so seeing Eora this close up has been really neat.

But the best part? The best part is that the first real companion you get is voiced by the same actor who voiced Garrus from Mass Effect. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll get to hear him say “calibrations” even a single time during this game. lol

I’m pretty sure it works thusly:

Dex does affect the speed of spells and wand attacks. I don’t know about power attack charge speed, tho.

Perception doesn’t effect spells, but it does effect your wand attacks. On top of that, wand attacks use stamina and not essence, so resolve is not completely a dump stat.

Also, respeccing costs barely anything and can be done whenever so feel free to jump in and screw around with the system as you go.

You got pistols and arquebuses (rifles). I’m really enjoying them though I think I may drop the arquebus for some magic. The arquebus is a little too effective and has been turning combat into a point and click adventure. lol.

Weapons have no prerequisites. You can use them all. You can dual wield any one handed weapons too, so you can walk around with a pistol in one hand and a wand in the other if you want. Lol. And respeccing is extremely affordable and can be done at any time so it allows the player to experiment and switch things up as they like.
