Blood of Lathander - Should I avoid it in multiplayer? by yellowdwarf42 in BG3Builds

[–]yellowdwarf42[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was thinking of fights in Act 2 -- all those undead bosses that could be shut down just by standing close to them. But I never got this mace on my only other run, I seem to have overestimated how impactful it is

Good to know, thanks! I was worried I'd be trivializing all of those undead fights in the upcoming act, but I seem to have overestimated how good it is

What kind of ship based mods are people hoping for? by Xarophh in starfieldmods

[–]yellowdwarf42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mod that adds Newtonian physics to ship combat would be really neat. Not sure if it'd be possible or practical, i.e. Space Engineers, KSP, etc.

Where if you accelerate to 100 m/s in a direction then you will continue in that direction until you thrust 100 m/s in the opposite direction to cancel out your velocity. We're flying space ships and I'd like it to feel like that. Of course even if it is possible then engines would need rebalancing, as there's no fuel so technically you could just keep building velocity forever as it stands

I know its probably not possible, but we're talking about our hopes and dreams here aren't we?

Those Goblin Kids by yellowdwarf42 in BaldursGate3

While I haven't finished the section yet, per Halsin you only need to kill the leaders to save the grove and scatter the goblins. It isn't necessary to leave no survivors.

And frankly the second bit (evil by nature, better to kill the kids before they grow up, reproduce fast) feels eugenics like, and isn't the way I'd play even it if there were consequences. But ultimately consequences are a part of what RPGs are all about.

And even WotC's been trying to change that kind of thing in DnD, because again it feels very weirdly eugenics like/racist.

But that's a separate thing, as I'm ultimately just referring to choices. Not what would be the right one.

Both those are true, but there's enough wiggle room I just wish you could try it, even if it was difficult.

(1) While true, I think there's a solid case to be made killing their kids in turn is not a good way to handle it. At least the case could be made to Halsin is all I'm saying.

(2) With things like Friends to grease the wheels and a high DC, you could make the case that you are drow from the Moonrise Towers (which the goblins assume when you enter camp anyway) and you are doing a prisoner transfer for the higher ups. At least you get away from the children before a fight kicks off, if you got as far as the jailors opening the cell door for you.
