    ... You had a stealth check with Astarion, of course she didn't register it. If you don't succeed on that check you have to try to convince her it's OK or she gets quite pissed (one of the amusing argument for why it's OK is basically debasing enemy relics). A no works with most characters...

    I mean that's you specifically wanting her to give you a sleeping potion and then complaining she wants that. I just told her I want to talk to her in her room and then told her she had to die there. Don't complaing about reactivity when you really are trying hard for something specific to...

    For the last hundred or so pages a lot of people have been complaining the game was too lore accurate yeah, it's amusing. It's like actual rpg players here are rare :D

    Gale is just. Such a wizard. Start of as contrite in his mistake, and the very second he believes he has a chance to make a come back. He just can't help himself. It's incredible.

    I'm fairly sure I've seen people having had Karlach volunteering to become a Illithid for that - Also, betraying Orpheus at the last moment so you can control the brain and brainwash your party, becoming the absolute.

    "get more worms in the head" is actually not contradictory to getting on that chair given the lore and what you learn. Something to note about companions following you is that Shadowheart's item get soulbound to Tav, and without that item you get mindwiped by the tadpole. So the companions have...

    I wonder what happened there. I know some people experience bugs with triggers not working or so on, so you aren't the first I've seen who just doesn't get the scenes. However basically every characters have some pretty insane development and talk as it goes through, speaking as someone who...

    The game's supposed to have you bleeding companions depending on your decisions. Sure, most people will purposefully play in a way to keep everyone loving them and so on, but the game wants you to end up with multiple companions dead or leaving because of player choices.

    Camera is pretty good most of the time but can get wonky in multiple floor buildings. Mage battles are more of a 5e version of them - lots of counterspells, rather than needing breach and so on. C&C is pretty insanely good. Basically everything you do in the first act limits the quests...

    Of course they do? Who survive, who you side with, who you helped all changes the quests you have available in act 2 and then act 3, as well as change dialog options further in the game. What the hell are you talking about.

    There is that though? Like, most of the Tieflings get slaughtered no matter what. In this specific case they are taking a known weakness of Druids- the same one that existed in BG2- which often ends up in a druid grove being eradicated over time. It's very easy for not only the Tieflings to get...

    Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3 remake)

    I don't think it will devalue upgrade system just with the capacity to switch weapons. Anyway, looking at the video a lot of differences stood out. Much smoother gameplay, jumps are a thing 'tells' of bosses are a thing, you can 'reserve' the bars for the specials, there is a no 'agility'...

    Has a difficulty patch landed yet? not quite up to date.

    Or, more honestly, that Josh has a very good track record of trying again and again to fix the difficulties, so assuming this one time will be the exception is hasty.

    At least it's not used as an excuse to make us pay. Also, Josh speaks well. He does seem pretty hyped on some stuff. And pissed at the designers for making swords all the time.
