This seems to be one of the more reasonable takes or am I misunderstanding here? They want to decide who in the party is doing the skill check or talking in a given situation? I mean that makes sense if you run around with a party to pick the best man for the job, because I assume it's going to be same issue if you run only hirelings.
It kills the entire point of dialogue rolls though- you can’t fail them if you min max every character for specific social skill.
Jan Jansen after you get the use any item hla.
You should try. He's the strongest companion in the game.
Yeah, Redditards are complaining, that If companion gets a last hit on the enemy- enemy will beg specifically them for mercy and not player hero. But to me it seems quite reasonable, since you are not distinguished leader of the brainwormed retards running alongside you.
I know Larian's writing is shit from experience, not from intuition.
There's nothing wrong with picking the right man for the job given whatever situation you find yourself in. The problem is the game will some times arbitrarily make the decision for you resulting in situations that make no sense and have no reason to unfold. You can check the replies to the linked thread for various examples.
Does that Turnip snorting midget even have the strength to equip that?
nah, he's ugly and stinky.
So when you're out drinking with your mates do you check everyone's CHA ability score before deciding who gets to talk?
Totally true. Lamenting BG3's writing while contrasting it to previous BGs is ridiculous.
It fucking did though.
BTW how come a paladin is married? Stupid idea.
This is also reflected in terms of raw time spent while the game is running. BG1 has the best ratio of gameplay:reading. Even BG2's most voice and dialogue heavy scenes in which Irenicus is doing something and laughing evilly take less time to experience than a routine interaction with an inanimate object in BG3 which includes fully voiced narration and pointless skill checks. The writing could be workaday-servicable in those games and not have a major negative impact on the experience.
Just letting you know DOS2 is the highest rated RPG on metacritic
That's pretty much on point and I think BG2/NWN was when the scales began to tip . Then came KotOR and that has essentially become the formula for that type of RPG ever since. That was 20 years ago.
Whoa, metacritic?
I had this in multiquotes but I forgot about it. Human, dwarf, elf and halfling should be the only playable races, I'm serious. Dragonborn contribute nothing while diluting the setting further. But the worst shit I've seen is the "Goliath" - race of "competitive" non-giants and the "Fir-Bolg", which don't even know if they have anything characteristic about them. But why not ape Irish mythology for a cool sounding two-syllable name, for no reason whatsoever.
You should look up my posts in the IWD thread. I've done some thinking out loud on what makes its writing so classic and timeless.
They did it for the brainless masses who can't separate Dragonborn from Skyrim. Larian know you're all retarded and are just telling it to you bluntly.
Dragonborn have been a playable race in the DnD PHB since 4th edition, years before Skyrim was released, you dolt.
