And they’re the best at all of that.

Failing a roll is on you whether you like it or not. The ever looming threat of failure is important in story telling and suspension of disbelief. It’s the opposite of dumb game design. So yeah you either reload until everything gets handed to you or you move on. You’re talking like he’s locked behind a dlc when you’re just pissed a dice roll didn’t go your way at level one.
Consequences of your decisions is what makes this game special. You’re going to have a bad time going forward with this game if you cannot deal with the fomo.
I understood that the first time yeah. And I think you agree with me since you edited your comment to further explain your idea. I’m not contradicting your argument, I agree with it and appreciate that you addressed my criticism. I think it’s a hot enough topic to warrant being a bit less open to interpretation, especially in text form.
Kinda dismisses the real criticism people have with guns yeah. They are not advocating against them simply because “they look scary”.
Gotcha, last sentence sounded a little bit pro-gun though hence my response. I still think the ease of access is the main issue, by far. I would probably be dead if I was american as I could’ve easily got a cheap 9mm to off myself during the worse times. It was easier to reach out than to buy a glock and I seriously think it saved my life.
Mine is currently working fine and without a hitch and has been for a while now since the failed attempts at punishing adblockers. I can’t vouch for everyone, but you may be right about your account being flagged for some reason.
So I’ll reinforce my first suggestion to look into turn-based CRPG as a genre and see for yourself. That’s where you’ll find most of the mechanics you seem to want and you won’t have to take the opinions of strangers as to how much gore is too much for you.
Yes but it’s not all of the stuff, far from it
Is any form of violence or blood a no-no? If you can accept some, Larian (bg3’s developper) was already well known for the Divinity series. Many even say that BG3 is kind of Divinity:Original Sin 3 with a DnD license. You’ll still be killing some people though. Otherwise, I suggest searching for Turn-Based games which BG3 is. You might like Battletech which is a mech warrior themed game or the X-Com series where there’s an alien invasion.
And also, you might have been mislead by the videos. Yes the brain parasite is important but you’re really only directly dealing with mind flayers (the tentacle clad monsters) in the very beginning and very end. The rest is just a classic fantasy setting.
Right? And Roland has that deep menacing voice while Hart…
They could’ve at least went with Terry Crews if they really wanted a uber popular figure. He’s also far funnier.
Kevin Hart as Roland?
REALLY?
ANd If they don’t include Jack, they clearly have 0 understanding of what made this series any good.
I think we’ve been far more evil towards them than the other way around. We cut the most beautiful of them to make furniture after all.
IN what way would that be evil? They produce the very thing that keeps us alive by transforming what kills us.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people are that involved in the game to care about OGL and its ramifications. Most only want to play what they’ve seen in Stranger Things or Critical Role, they don’t give a fuck about the rent people they watch and like have to pay to WotC. I believe that’s what Hasbro is banking on. They will not back out of OGL1.1 as they knew some more hardcore players would criticize them. But the way news and stories are consumed nowadays, they also knew this would quickly get buried by the unending stream of “information” people consume and ultimately be entirely forgotten or ignored. Most people don’t care about businesses practices if it doesn’t affect them directly. Mix that with the crazy amount of IP crossovers they made in the last couple of years and you start to see how they are setting up a model so basically anyone who’s tempted to try table top gaming will most likely be funnelled into their ecosystem.
I cannot stress this enough. They are owned by Hasbro. Last year was a massive win for both Dnd and Magic the Gathering yet they still layed off thousands of the people that made this possible. Even Sven Wincke of Larian who developed Baldur’s Gate 3 said he couldn’t even properly thank the DnD people he worked with because they were gone short after release. BG3 is probably the best game of the decade if not more and MTG is more popular than ever yet the people making them still get fired. Meanwhile, Hasbro and WOTC CEO’s personally made millions in salary and bonuses.
So no, you are not supporting workers and artists by buying their products. You are proving them right.
I have done all of this. but thanks for posting this. Somehow venting about this kind of anonymously did more help than anything you just listed.
No, not even remotely. I actually feel worst than ever. But I also feel so paralyzed and hopeless.
Wait until you find out about Duesenberg. They made 400hp supercharged straight 8 monsters that cost more than a doctors annual salary back in the 20’s and 30’s. They were much faster than even race cars of the era. IMO the first relative “hypercars” if you compare what else was available.
