I have repeatedly considered getting BG3 ever since I got a laptop that can handle new games almost a year ago, but as good as the new additions look (I can easily imagine spending hours to create the perfect character here. Also, yay for bards and real music instruments!), with so much time...

Huh, I hadn't thought of it that way, sounds like a good idea. There are some classes and kits I've always wanted to experiment with, but taking them through the whole story takes far too much time, with so many games waiting to be played. But which level can you reach in the Black Pits so...

I like long answers, short ones usually lead to more questions... that sounds just about right for discovering something new between very extensive games of 100-200 hours, where frankly the prospect of a second or even third run, despite undiscovered content, sounds a bit scary. It seems that...

Thanks @InGameScientist and @WarChiefZeke (Also, welcome to our little pocket of space time!) for your impressions and the information. It's sounding more and more interesting, especially the combination of narrative and tactical elements. But if the playthroughs cover a character's lifetime and...

What do they mean by "progressed the genre somewhere new"? Is it the fact that you experience your characters' whole lifetime, that skills can be gained through events, that campaigns are randomized? A combination of all that? And what exactly can I expect from "procedurally generated" in this...

When I got Pathfinder: Kingmaker for free on EGS and looked at classes and builds, Eldritch Scoundrel seemed one of the most interesting to me too, both from the fun of the available skills and from role-playing opportunities (at least for my headcanon story. Not sure how much liberty the game...

That's cool, if the narrative of Guardians of the Galaxy is as good as they say. I don't really agree with this view though, at least not in an RPG: “For many, many years working in this industry, I’ve known that story is often subservient to gameplay,” DeMarle said. “But if I understand the...

[tries to suppress the urge to lecture about anatomically realistic waist-hip ratio in human females... but what would a krogan battlemaster know about that 😇]

And that's exactly what I meant. Open source software gives you that chance to experiment and learn new skills even as a "hobby" artist. And if you think your stuff looks amateurish (I don't have the knowledge to judge that), then all the more respect for your courage to share and show your...

They do look like those wooden puppets... I'm impressed that templates are only a matter of convenience, not of necessity. Starting from scratch with spheres and cylinders requires a lot of knowledge about anatomy and proportions, and I imagine translating knowledge and information from skills...

How does that even work? Does it start with some head template and then you can shape everything, or do you have to start from 0? I imagine it's ridiculously difficult to get an anatomically correct head and body shape without templates. (Mind you, I'm just curious, when I try to draw it still...

Okay that convinced me, I'm going to play it some day.

(I have finished the Thieves Guild and the Companions questline. The mods for Brynjolf or more NPC interaction in general weren't convincing or didn't work. I like Skyrim and will get back to it, but I got a bit lonely there, decided to take a break and continue Divinity:Original Sin 2 instead...

I like Baeloth's alliterations too, at least the BG1 and SoD part. It might be worth trying Black Pits one day, but I haven't played them yet. The "fighting wave of monsters" part didn't sound like that much fun to me, I'm more interested in narrative than mechanics. Which is maybe the reason...

Happy birthday! What did they want to say? That you're 120 years old? Or is it a philosophical question, what happens if you roll a critical hit and a critical miss at the same time?

Dúathil the Bosmer, Skyrim Anniversary Edition (spoilers for Thieves Guild questline in this update) Surprise surprise, I woke up with my face on the cold stone floor and not wherever it is that Apostate Bosmer Companion Dragonborn (hey, ABCD!) end up after death. And what is she doing here...

Ninja werewolves? Funny, I'd always considered werewolves to be strong and stout, but also kind of clumsy. Now my imagination is running wild, full of images like the werewolf daddy from Hotel Transylvania, all dressed up in black, silently jumping over rooftops and throwing shuriken... :ninja:

Dúathil the Bosmer, Skyrim Anniversary Edition (spoilers for Thieves Guild questline in this update) It feels like months ago since I last posted about my progress here. First I had problems with losing saved drafts, then RL got in the way again, and now I've actually lost track of what...

I've always wondered who that guy is, Restartitis. I've never met him personally, but he seems extremely skilled, because apparently he beats everyone who crosses his path.

It is possible, if you played for 4 weeks straight, 24/7... so yeah, probably it's not counting the way it does with single player games. But it's cool that you're enjoying it do much. I have never been into MMOs for various reasons, but this might become the exception, some day in the future.
