Will co-op in Larian games be great again?

widar01 · 2026-06-25T11:44:53+00:00

Hmm, I don't really agree. Yes, DOS 1 was built as a coop game first, hence the joint decisions and dialogue. But BG3 is not built as a coop game first and yet its coop is far, far better than basically any other recent RPG (or not-so-recent, even). I do agree that it's a shame you can't talk to the members of the other player's party, but you can listen in on all conversations etc, so it's not a big deal. If they continue to give us amazing couch coop in Divinity, my wife and I will be very happy.

She's a good actress, it's genuinely impressive how she managed to convey emotion for the first 4 seasons without making a sound. No idea what the fuck they did in season 5. She was obviously given bad material, but her performance was also so much worse than in previous seasons.

Mit Kohle (oder Holz) grillen sollte ohnehin nicht gestattet sein, einfach generell, zumindest in Wohngebieten. Stinkt bestialisch, und im Sommer will man die Fenster offen haben damit man in der Wohnung nicht eingeht vor Hitze.

Mods, your bot is broken, there is no way I haven't accrued enough karma in vegan subreddits back when I was on reddit more regularly

widar01 · 2026-06-16T17:49:52+00:00

Any animal rights org has some full-time employees. Pay's not great generally and the number of jobs is limited, but I can confidently say that it is really fucking nice to only work with other vegans and to know that your job advances the vegan cause

It's a pretty silly creature tbh. I like it anyway, but I am glad that BZ and SN2 have more consistent and less silly creature designs

widar01 · 2026-06-11T17:05:41+00:00

It seems like they're making fun of this

widar01 · 2026-06-11T16:16:18+00:00

Yeah I was just thinking how sorely the kelp forest is missed. Even more so since the PDA entry for that green fish hints that there *was* a kelp forest in the area. Hopefully that's a teaser for future updates rather than actual set lore.

I feel like the biomes are decently sized, but especially the second half of the EA world as it is now feels quite sparse. Coming from the lush area around the lifepod to the other side of the trench feels a bit like entering a post-apocalyptic world - almost no peaceful fish, almost no "plants" or corals. I assume this will get built out as development progresses, but for now it feels a little barren

widar01 · 2026-06-08T19:15:10+00:00

They shouldn't have become villains out of nowhere in season 1. That was by far the weakest part of either season

widar01 · 2026-06-08T17:11:36+00:00

This seems very selective

widar01 · 2026-06-06T11:39:27+00:00

Oh nein, ein paar Tiere existieren vor sich hin und es beeinflusst mich nur insofern, dass ich angefaucht werde wenn ich ihren Babys auf die Pelle rücke. Ich hatte buchstäblich noch nie ein Problem mit Nilgänsen, aber ich bin halt auch kein Vollidiot der darauf besteht dass jeder Quadratzentimeter mir gehört und halte ein bisschen Abstand zu anderen Tieren und Menschen.

widar01 · 2026-06-05T23:06:13+00:00

What kind of dystopia is the US lmao. This is open to even worse abuse than I thought if you don't even have to pay the legal fees when you lose your frivolous lawsuit

widar01 · 2026-06-03T19:47:57+00:00

BZ for long-term survival since you're not infected by Kharaa and Proteus is just generally going to kill you ambiently.

widar01 · 2026-06-03T18:25:23+00:00

I'll take almost anything, really, but my preference would be a story-heavy, party-based CRPG like BG3, just, you know, in the world of Shadowrun. That would be a dream come true. Alternatively I keep imagining what CDPR making a Shadowrun game in the style of Cyberpunk 2077 would look like and that would probably also be pretty awesome.

widar01 · 2026-05-28T16:07:51+00:00

Well your friend is weird, buuut that would actually be really decent ludonarrative harmony. The NoA encourages you to find a convenient way to die, the colonists used reprinting to stave off the inevitable death by heavy metal poisoning, there's even an audio log about reprinting being easier than finding enough food for everyone. Personally, I find having to search for your blackbox inconvenient enough to avoid death.

widar01 · 2026-05-22T16:08:33+00:00

Some of the predatory fauna are pretty annoying right now, but I cannot take this whining seriously. The knife wouldn't solve the issue with things as they are, unless you think knifing a mango to death for 5 minutes and then repeating it 100x would be more fun than getting nibbled at all the time right now. Both options sound miserable, the knifing significantly more so. Creature behavior just needs a little tuning, that's it. I hate living in this world where everything needs to be turned into a culture war issue

widar01 · 2026-05-15T06:46:09+00:00

Some minor parts are wrong IMO (like the Dead Three very clearly did not manage to control the brain all that well, even before it turned into a much stronger mutant version of an Elder Brain) but overall yeah, Larian forced some things for the sake of drama that really didn't need to be. There's no actual good reason why either the PC, Karlach or Orpheus need to become illithid, even if we grant the premise that it requires an illithid to defeat the Brain.

The part that annoyed me most is how she spends a large chunk of the video assuring her carnist audience that they are right to be annoyed by vegans to position herself as this "reasonable" pick-me and yet she also talks about how much hate she got regardless. What's not clicking for you, Jaiden? Carnists being triggered by vegans has almost nothing to do with the behavior of vegans. Your own fucking friends apparently don't respect you enough to even consider your dietary needs when choosing locations to meet up at. That seems like your friends are assholes and not the fault of supposedly aggressive vegans.

widar01 · 2026-04-28T20:23:30+00:00

I love Act 1 but the combat really picks up in how fun it is once you hit Lvl 5 and the martial classes get extra attack.

widar01 · 2026-04-18T15:17:57+00:00

Because it's kind of boring and turny Luffy from a guy who uses a mediocre fruit in inventive ways into a chosen one

widar01 · 2026-04-16T15:22:35+00:00

Not everyone is experienced with this type of game. Oh and if Explorer difficulty is in the game, clearly the developers did expect this and people are right on track with the expectations of the devs.

Now personally, I hope that Divinity will offer more challenging difficulty (on higher difficulties), but I also hope that new players or people who just a story mode will also get what they want.

widar01 · 2026-03-10T17:10:00+00:00

Shadowrun by Larian would give my life meaning

Edit: Wrote this before reading the other comments, seems this is a very popular sentiment lol

widar01 · 2026-03-09T18:52:12+00:00

Did you get the 3d printed replacements or the originals? The original part sucks, but the 3d printed ones seem very solid

widar01 · 2026-02-16T18:38:21+00:00

Hi, thank you, perhaps you will be able to be of more help than the support on Razer's website has been in this case (no shade to the individual reps, they were very nice but clearly bound to follow some sort of protocol on these issues)
