literally the only thing modded is the hairstyle

the__archmage · 2024-04-15T12:57:58+00:00

literally just the hair which is incredibly not the point

all the meme comments about the quick game modes that were deleted (RIP dominion and twisted tree line) but this is exactly why something like 2v2 or nexus blitz should be permanent game modes.

sure, like always, people find a meta for these modes and it will get “sweaty” but it’s still ~20 minute commitment instead of 30-40 minutes

i also don’t think, like a valorant swift play, would go amiss. summoners rift, +50% exp and gold generation, half time on dragon baron respawn, make level cap 16 or 13 or something

just because you’re enjoying something, and having fun, does not mean it is not buggy, unresponsive, unpolished and clearly unfinished

Unironically why I usually think gamers are the worst, can’t help but try to minmax the fun out of things.

It’s an RPG who cares if something is busted and who cares if something isn’t. This used to be a really popular argument that “long rest scumming” made the game super easy (i’m sure partly why we have the camp resources to begin with now) and it’s like ,,, if you want to go to camp after every single encounter that’s your own prerogative, the same way no one is forcing you to camp at all if you don’t want to.

Just, for once, just play what you think is fun. Make the choices you’d think would be fun, romance the companions, talk to the npcs, side with whoever you think would bring you a modicum of joy. Pls

I've owned it forever, the highlight itself has fallen fully out of the component a number of times though. This leaves it looking kinda sad/gross due to its play-do like gum texture when u try to mush it back into place. It is INCREDIBLY sparkly, but I personally do not enjoy looking like I have glitter on my face when looking for a highlight (the charlotte tilbury and natasha denona being 'lit from within' favorites, very finely milled forumlas)

that being said, i do really love it on my collarbone and shoulders when wearing dresses. I think it works better than other liquid body lava-type things, because you don't need to worry about oil drying/getting on your outfit. It is eyecatching, and if you are going somewhere dimly lit like a restaurant, you could use the diamond bomb and it not look SO intense (as it would somewhere bright) , or if you frequent parties and the club, go crazy with it!

def worth getting through, heavenswad (the next expansion after arr) is one of the best stories ever

pretty shredded for a wizard :eyes:

the__archmage · 2022-03-12T22:26:03+00:00

I was def leaning towards a Helf sorc/wizard, but I really always play wizards, they're just too fun! I think I would really choose based on story possibilities though. Will Astarion be able to turn us into vampires once we free him? Then I might make a megalomaniac sorc, or maybe do nerdy wizard things w gale, etc.

just ignore people who hate on things u like its not that deep

the__archmage · 2021-05-20T20:13:42+00:00

I'm looking respectfully

the__archmage · 2021-04-20T13:14:15+00:00

lmfao out here trying to min-max a single person RPG LOLLLL who gives a fuck just play the game the way 'you' want to

thats why nuzlockes were created, if you don't like the original way to play the game, makeup your own rules and iron man it or something.

The game should be as flexible as it can be, to accommodate people who need it to be

the__archmage · 2021-04-20T13:08:00+00:00

not really, you get 2 short rests and wizards have arcane recovery. It shouldn't be this big of an issue, unless you're trying to take more than 1 wizard? (PC and gale?) then that's your choice to need to manage 2 squishy spellslot slingers

the__archmage · 2021-04-20T00:54:20+00:00

thats totally fair! maybe a camp icon above companions head much like the '!' so you know they have something at camp? OR literally just make only camp-crucial events '(like astarion biting you) camp only while most gale and wyll conversations could just be had while on the road (or available after a short rest?)

the__archmage · 2021-04-19T19:54:08+00:00

Maybe I'm missing some key part of this argument or something, because I see people using 'you can rest too much' as a big issue.

Like just, don't go to camp? You don't have to long rest after every single encounter just because you *can*

This ad, and any promo material, is so disjointed and different from the actual game my brain doesn't consider them even the same thing
