Your birth was no success. Just ask your mom and dad. If they are honest with you, you won't like the answer.

Btw, is Shadowheart based on a real actress?

Her voice actress looks similar.

Strap Yourselves In Pathfinder: Wrath
Albino Drow Sorcerer/Eldritch Knight inspired by Elric de Melboniné - Dark Urge origin - Can't control his impulses to violently murder sodomites and whores. Just wish I could get a cursed sword of some sort.

Might go pure sorcerer class. Wield a rapier instead of a longsword. Maybe Wizard/Eldritch Knight to keep Intelligence the focus stat.
I would think Elric would be Warlock with pact of the blade, since he has to go into a trance to summon patrons to perform the magic iirc.

Will pact of the blade be available on release?

That tweet thread has apparently caused quite a stir:

>do not want this to set a new standard
wouldn't that be the best for us as a CRPG site?

forget cinematic games or sjw crap, that's already the standard.

but this mandate to have reactivity to RPGs, the turn-based combat... isn't this what we've been asking for for decades?

Do not forget the part where his cousin cucks him several times

Does Larian's recent art of Shadowheart feel off to anyone else?

Yes, it should be one of three Level 3 warlock pact choices at release (between pact of the chain, pact of the tome, and pact of the blade). I forget if it is baked into Pact of the Blade or a lvl 5 feat, but you can apply your charisma bonus to your hit.

"If you do your homework, you make the rest of us look bad!"

Embarrassing, some guy actually had the gall to say gamers should consider the conditions of the individual developer when they judge their game. Yeah... no. Because "gamers" and "game" here are also known as "customers" and, respectively, "product" - you get judged on what you charge for it. Nobody's gonna expect a hundred hours of movie-gaming from an indie title with an indie price tag, but if Larian can ship a whole lot more than you for that same AAA price, you need to stop worrying about the bar's elevation and start looking at the bloat in your development process.

Here's how it works in practice: I paid AAA €60 for a game with controls so atrocious I might not have the stomach to play it. That's what I'm judging Swen's game on. Oh, how I'm judging it...


P.S. "the ultimate RPG game" - keep youtubing, youtubers.
