    Baldur's Gate III News

    It does seem like Oathbreakers in 5E kinda skip a step towards becoming evil mass slaughterers; that tiny little step in between extremes where you’re just a normal person. I figure the reason for it is just impatience on the part of players and dms alike, where they don’t want to spend a lot...

    Korgan. His epilogue in ToB left his fate somewhat unknown, with him disappearing in the Underdark. Would be nice to see he actually survived on his own down there.

    General (c)RPG Permadeath/Ironman Thread

    To answer your question, no, it is not the easy way out. In my BG no-rez runs, party members are another important resource that I need to manage carefully, like my potions and scrolls, etc. If and when a party member dies, it is a potentially huge blow to your party’s survivability as a...

    General (c)RPG Permadeath/Ironman Thread

    I’ve been getting into doing runs in BG, but with the added ‘no raising’ rule. If a companion dies, he or she is dead for good. I believe I lost all of my recruitable frontline fighters in the first run, so I ended up with a party of clerics and wizards :).

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    I always lol at the dying man giving a complete stranger a history lesson with his last breath. Here lies Johnny, his last words were “In ancient times, this great enemy was defeated, and blahblahblah.” That much exposition doesn’t fit on a tombstone, buddy. Inexperience leads to mistakes...

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    Heck, one of my most recent characters ended up being both.

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    A big part of the fun in DnD is playing with a group, and it’s practically guaranteed that at least one player will create a ‘jokey’ character. I, for one, always end up playing a joker, even when the character wasn’t originally intended to be that type of character. My sense of humor just...

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    Maybe. I’m not gonna expect anything brilliant, but I’ll still watch it. I’ve watched them all so far, and don’t expect to stop, no matter how cheesy they are.

    Revenge?

    Feeling morally superior is all well and good, but sometimes nothing satisfies quite like seeing someone you hate get their comeuppance. That said, trying to orchestrate it is a waste of my time and energy, like others have said. I just let karma hit them like a truck, then snicker to myself...

    Nebulous dropping in!

    Welcome to the forum! Hope you came prepared. *the strange talking ferret holds a tiny notepad and flips through the pages* You are aware, of course, that there is a price for admission? One rogue stone, please. *he holds out one tiny paw*

    “To end… like THIS?!” Still one of my favorite villains ever. May he rest forever in our hearts.

    There are some transformations that I would definitely recommend you only take some parts of. The rock and tree arms are both good for knockback, but the legs suck because they lower movement. They’re both meant for armor builds, but armor builds in my experience are inferior to dodge/block...

    Wildermyth

    This game is great! The character customization and different builds for each class kept me playing for a while. I stopped playing after I got tired of seeing the same events occurring in different campaigns, but it was a blast to play. Mystics in particular are a lot of fun to play. Instead...

    I keep forgetting this game exists. Anyway, it felt pretty solid when I played it last time, a year-and-a-half ago, so I’ll enjoy when it releases. Bard and Paladin are two of the best classes in 5E, so I really hope they add them.

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    I understand why they do it, but that doesn’t really change my opinion. I’m old enough and wise enough to understand that I’m just not part of their target demographic anymore. Conversely, I don’t have to care about them either, so I won’t. It’s better for my wallet that way, at least :). To...

    Your favourite Voice Over Actors and Actresses in games

    Jamieson Price is one VA that comes to mind. Deep voices seem a little hard to come by these days, and he’s one of the best in my opinion, though he seems to only do work for Japanese games and anime. Most people would his voice as Sojiro Sakura from Persona 5, but my favorite performance of...

    Videogames with the most fleshed out non-speaking roles?

    You know, I was replaying Golden Sun recently, and I rediscovered how fascinating some of the characters were. The villains in particular had a complexity to them that you don’t normally see in games made for kids. Granted, you had to play the second game to get most of the context of why they...
