Thankfully, the ogre was the end of it. Cutscenes happened from there and we ended up at the witch of the wilds' home. The party lost their two red shirts (the generic soldier and mage), but picked up a proper NPC in the form of a Shapeshifter mage (Morrigan). From there to the next town, the...

So, I've completely turned off gambits. I only had two set for each character. The first was use a poultice on themselves if their health was less than 25%. For the second, Alistair was to attack the nearest enemy and everyone else was to attack who Alistair was attacking. The result was...

Now I remember why I stopped playing this game back in the day. Technically. it's not a totally blind playthrough since I have dabbled with this game before, but I remembered nothing of the story or gameplay going into it, just that there was something about party combat that really put me off...

That's something that has always perplexed me. If I'm being honest, the gameplay itself in my favorite JRPGs is not exactly groundbreaking. It boils down to a fight/magic/special/item menu with some minor resource management and some mini-games on the side. But, the art and sound is quite well...

I was thinking about that the most (which is why it's at the top of this list), but every game is at risk for being dropped for SBZ when the sale happens. I'm also wondering if I need a little RPG break after finally grinding through BG.

I need to figure out what to play now. I figure, I'm right around the corner from a steam sale on Subnautica Below Zero so I don't want to get too invested in anything. However, my current hitlist is: Blind play through of Dragon Age Origins Blind play through of the first Witcher game Icewind...

In truth, I have more hours in BG than I do in numerous other rpgs combined. I played the crap out of it when I was a kid. It always perplexed me why I couldn't get through this game, but I had first started playing as a kid that had yet to learn about game design, story writing, and so forth...

At this moment, I have 2059 hours in Terraria. Sometimes I think of what else I could have done with that much time: become fluent in a couple new languages , earned an extra bachelor's degree, cured cancer. But, I'm not mad about it. That game got me. It's not a lot of time when you consider...

Trigger warning: offensive hot take to follow. Ok, I'm done. I'm calling it. ToB is an expansion pack anyway. It's optional by its very nature. I finished the BG saga as far as I'm concerned. ToB is just too terrible to go on. From the Orcs with the human soundsets to the tragically...

If I could run this on my current box, I would buy it right now. I'll have to wait until my next upgrade. Though, it's been about 5 years...maybe I am due?

I had a run of this that I started (and posted here) where I created a pool of characters rolled 3d6 down the line and made a team based on that. I was diverted from that run, but intend to get back to it eventually. IWD is really underrated, I have to say.

But then, how will anything new be created? The gems in this hobby are generally the surprises, and not things like Beating a Dead Horse 7: Horsing Around.

I also just realized that I never did Watcher's Keep, but I feel like I'm pretty well locked into Bhaalspawn Highlander at this point and then that's the game.

I'm still at it, though I've been cheating on my run with a little Subnautica for a reprieve. I'm starting to lose constitution with this run, but I'm just slowing down not giving up. Currently, I'm irked by the orcs in the prison area having human soundsets. If the devs wanted to recycle, they...

Finished the first pocket plane battle. I'm not sure how to RP this since it's all pretty linear, somewhat nonsensical, and even a bit rushed. It's basically, prove that you are above the bhaalspawn blood that drives people to murder by murdering a bunch of random enemies. But, the party is in...

Son of a bitch. I've beat this game before. The tears of Bhaal, the Slayer fight with Irenicus, all his new lackeys thrown in the mix for the final fight. I've done this before. I remember now. I know I haven't done ToB, though. So, I have still yet to really do a full trilogy run. I guess I...

https://www.polygon.com/gaming/555469/ubisoft-holds-firm-in-the-crew-lawsuit-you-dont-own-your-video-games?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us I'm kinda mixed on this one. On one hand, online-only games often eventually get shut down and that's that. You know the risk when you buy the game. On the...

I think I'm done with the prose for now. I finished the Underdark and made it back to Athkatla. Now, I'm feeling a little disconnected with the story of it all. City-of-Caverns and the Underdark were just (frankly unnecessary) diversions that added nothing to the plot. Ust Natha could have...

The Underdark was a cruel and evil place. Beatrix could not help but wonder why anyone would live this way. Irenicus had already passed through, and in order for them to secure passage, they had to engage in some Machiavellian misdeeds. Magically disguised as Drow, the party infiltrated their...

I don't have any sensible prose for this next part. I mean, really, there is no sane reason to trust Saemon Havarian again after his initial betrayal. On top of that, since Irenicus fled to the Underdark and there is a portal right there in Spellhold to the Underdark, there are all the reasons...
