    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    Larian was worried that some players might be having a bad time - specifically, those players who are too stupid to bring quest items with them during the associated quests. Thus the latest hotfix introduced a system that allows players to use quest items which are stored at camp. And in a...

    Diplomacy should be a combat skill

    Fixed.

    Diplomacy should be a combat skill

    I like the concept, and it reminds me of something that I did with a character in Morrowind: I used Calm spells to drop opponents out of combat, then initiated dialogue and used persuasion options to increase their disposition to 100, making them friendly. Some NPCs are scripted to be hostile...

    Dragon Age: Origins combat is better than Baldur's Gate 2

    4 + war dog (if you use the mod that gives an extra slot for it) Battlefield control in DA:O > any of the IE games Primarily because of the threat/aggro system, but also because of activated abilities for crowd control.

    Game News Gamedec now on Kickstarter

    No mention of DRM-free. Devs are Polish... GOG is Polish... Make some calls, send some emails, sit down and hash out some kind of promotion for the game. Well, not now, with everything locked down - but if they wanted my dosh, that's what should have been done before the Kickstarter. And even...

    Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Being derived from D&D 3.5, Pathfinder inherited the core classes and multiclassing rules (including prestige classes), but Paizo has since began creating a large number of hybrid classes to allow players to "be the kind of character they want to be from Lv1 onward" (or something like that)...

    Divinity What makes a "Baldur's Gate" to you?

    Essential elements: 1. Three elf bitches that constantly bicker over who gets to ride your dong. 2. A sister that calls you queer about a hundred times a day. 3. Swanky character portraits - the more the better. To improve a BG: 1. No retards - in other words, no Minsc. To ruin a BG: 1...

    Is there such a thing as an "Action RPG"? Poll inside

    Any game involves some measure of player skill(s): dexterity, tactics, strategy, evaluation and selection of options, etc. Tentative stab at a definition of RPG: RPGs are games in which a player takes on the role of a character and is allowed to define that character to some extent via stats...

    Wizardry Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls - now available on PC

    Thanks for bringing Venetica to my attention - I bought it from Fireflower. The game looks interesting, and I wanted to put the store to the test. Fireflower is okay. Downloads are about 1/13 the speed of GOG for me (2 MB/s with Fireflower and Chrono for Chrome vs. 26 MB/s with GOG Galaxy)...

    Nioh 2

    That's the problem: due to the random results of forging and the exponentially increasing costs of soul matching, your build depends in part on luck and grinding to get desirable weapons and armor. Random drops can be acceptable, but the smithing system should allow you to customize and upgrade...

    Nioh 2

    Nioh is one of my all-time favorites, and I'm stoked for the second game. Pretty much exactly what I want to hear (or read). Iterative approach ftw! Don't want. Don't need. Okay... I'll give you that one. ;) I'd settle for a more consistent means of creating and upgrading gear with...
