Noted. I’ll look up Subnautica. Thanks for the tip!

I’m not quite done with Fallout 3, as it turns out. After finishing Lilith’s NR, I decided to see whether I could succeed with a completely different character. And so the talented, stealthy sniper, Lilith, gave way to the brute force melee fighting, minigun wielding Big Red. Big Red rode the...

That looks really cool, m7600. I’ve always had an inexplicable soft spot for the movie Abyss. Maybe I should try a subsea RPG.

I’m pleased to report that my Fallout character, Lilith, successfully completed her No Reload on Hard, the XBox Gamepass edition’s highest difficulty setting. For the curious, her primary skills were Repair, Sneak and later Speech. Her Perk list is available on request. The early game strategy...

Yes. I finished my first run 3 days ago, my first NR on Normal yesterday. I’m currently working on my first NR on Hard. So far so good at Level 7

I NRed Skyrim back in the day. It’s pretty straightforward if you prioritize leveraging the crafting system. I’m finding Fallout 3 to be pretty similar to Skyrim in terms of difficulty. My first run was super rough; second was a near success; third was a success. The learning curve isn’t nearly...

Bummer. I was secretly hoping it was sit still look pretty.

Thank you for your interest! I plan to move on to NV and 4 once I’m done with 3. I’ll consider myself done with 3 when I’ve no reloaded it on the highest difficulty. I expect that to happen soon. My current game has been super-smooth so far. As for DLC, I’m playing on an XBox S, using Game...

Btw, would anyone be interested in a Fallout 3 no reload run? I’ve been screenshotting my current game, the one on Hard.

Hey there, hi there, everyone! I took a break from gaming for awhile but I’m back at it. In the interest of buttressing my basic B credentials, I’ve joined the masses in discovering Fallout for the first time. I started with Fallout 3 -a shameful admission on an RPG forum- but I did give...

Awesome! Glad to see you back in action!

It's counter intuitive, right? Impossible to anticipate. I learned that one the hard way, too. In my case it was in Firkraag's pleasure palace. My high level halfling was level drained and then immediately failed her save to Domination. It seemed impossible to me until I checked her saves under...

Agreed! Sorsha's SoA run was masterful, an absolute treat. On the grounds of her SoA performance, I'd like to nominate Sorsha for our Hall of Heroes, Deneir's Favorites. Who's with me?

First of all, congrats on completing SoA. Sorsha will be remembered for that and that alone. Well done! :) And then, of course, sorry for your loss. On the good path PP challenge 1 is a serious threat. It's one of the sketchiest ToB fights. I've long felt that David should rebalance that. As...

It was my first Baldur's Gate 2 playthrough. I was struggling. Jaheira, the spiritual leader of our squad, had fallen. We desperately needed to raise her, but we didn't have the coin. What to do? With no other options, we sold our much needed gear. It would send us back to square one, but at...

Nice work! That’s helpful! Cheers! (Between the legacy behavior, SCS’s modifications, and the EE, I’m pretty sure the behavior has changed over the years. I usually know the change history of interactions like this, but since I always rolled with Spell Shield I missed the underlying mechanics...

That's possible. I always thought it was a more powerful effect, capable of removing spell defenses, with the exception of Spell Shield. There are two possibilities: 1) In the past it was a more powerful effect and it has been changed by the EE or something else to be more forgiving. 2) Since...

That was my understanding. I inferred from context. I wouldn't have expected that, nor would I have expected the SI behavior you reported. I always just assumed that without my Spell Shield I'd be fully dispelled.

Interesting. Has it always been like that? I guess it's possible. I started using Spell Shield against beholders very early in my career. It's been ages since I've seen what an anti-magic ray actually does to arcane defenses.
