Auraculum, that's you isn't it?
Muh it is not really white knighting,had plenty banter with her for that. It was just the last thing a codexer could say about lilura,the chick plays like 10 games and hates everything else lol. While shilling is all about marketing/hyping nu games for gibz. The retard was clearly larping as codexian lurker or being a retard that doesn't know the meaning of a shill.Joined: Thursday
The retard clearly either doesn't know who lilura is or doesn't know the meaning of shilling.
50/50, he is either really deep in the codex lore and uses the popular disrespect of Lilura as trans, or he is a lying faggot.
Anyway funny that you came to her defense if it is the first case.
Ahhh it makes sense,the project is a mess. If they had all that shit planned out and worked on,they would have changed the dialogue being from the narrator's point of view. That shit needs a lot of work to be done,thus they wouldn't have change it. They didn't had anything ready beyond an updated engine,demo level and a trailer.Oh, by the by, I've also written Larian Studios directly, asking them what, in light of the upcoming third title, will be their stance on the canon of the previous two games - which events happened and which didn't; will they reference the adventure modules etc. The polite gentlemen replied that Larian Studios does not have, as of yet, an established canon to the series. I was slightly incredulous, to say it mildly, seeing as how the game has been, at that point, in development for around two years. His reaction was... rather feisty.
Sounds like a good read,post a pic of the mail,or you are a lyingYou may laugh, dear lurkers of the Codex, but it was my first experience of a PR Representative calling a customer an "arrogant dick." How rude.
Reminder that, by the time of 5E, rogue Halruaan have been selling airships on the open market (which have explicitly been bought by multiple countries) for over a hundred years while the Lantanna have had all kinds of wondrous tech for over two hundred while also being enterprising traders, but none of this matters because Forgotten Realms is a shitty setting where countries simply cease to matter if they don’t directly border the place where the story is set. Thus all technology in BG3 will be exactly the same as it has been in the FR for the last millennium.
Isn't this just like Warhammer Fantasy? Or Middle-Earth? Or Rivellon, where technology randomly appears and disappears throughout the ages? Or Thedas, where nobody outside of the Qu'nari possesses any advanced technology?
There no reason to use magic if you can advance technology. Especially with Vancian casting system.There's no reason for technology to advance if you have magic.
Absolute bullshit.There no reason to use magic if you can advance technology. Especially with Vancian casting system.
Yeah, if only they could conjure food. Before you know it, even priests and druids would be able to do it, madness.For sure , fireballs impressive and all, but can caster transport several tons of grain every day from one city to another?
It seems you've forgotten that the most powerful D&D mages are essentially reality warpers.Hell, technology is better at killing things, maybe first muskets, bombards and cannons are a bit clumsy to use, but further advancement - benefits are higher. Almost no hide/shell can stop projectile that moves with speed of sound and even if tough fuckers with such natural armor exist - poison gas, nuclear weapons, napalm and laser weaponry can fix this.
There is one reason: availability. Can everyone use magic? Because everyone is able to use technology, even though not everyone can create said technology.There's no reason for technology to advance if you have magic.
But who will create said technology though?There is one reason: availability. Can everyone use magic? Because everyone is able to use technology, even though not everyone can create said technology.There's no reason for technology to advance if you have magic.
Even this is heavily open to contention.Because everyone is able to use technology
Except Wish does not fucking work like that, there heavy limitations, otherwise why there is still monsters and natural disaster in FR? Oh, right, because this spell is treacherous as wishes that granted by Jinn and should not be casted without many precautions and limitations.Absolute bullshit.
Yeah, what reason would anyone have to magically create food and water from nothing? Genius. Might as well ask what reason there would be to use Wish to create a utopia.
Yeah, if only they could conjure food. Before you know it, even priests and druids would be able to do it, madness.

Good luck with attempting to feed a sizeable town with several autists that can cast spells only restricted amount per day. Btw these autists somehow should protect town from apex predators that can't be killed with average weapons, but I guess spell slot distribution is not fitting in your idealistic views.Yeah, if only they could conjure food.

It seems that you forgotten how fucking hard it is to study magic and survive and only few manage to reach highest power. And services of these few are VERY costly.It seems you've forgotten that the most powerful D&D mages are essentially reality warpers.
No, Limited Wish has limitations.Except Wish does not fucking work like that, there heavy limitations,
Gary Gygax - Oriental Adventures said:The wish spell literally grants the desire of the caster, altering reality to do so.
The assumption is that anyone smart enough to be able to cast it isn't dumb enough to word it in a way that would get twisted.Oh, right, because this spell is treacherous as wishes that granted by Jinn and should not be casted without many precautions and limitations.
How much food do you eat, fatty?Good luck with attempting to feed a sizeable town with several autists that can cast spells only restricted amount per day.
You create 45 pounds of food
No, the guards with magically enchanted equipment will do it.Btw these autists somehow should protect town from apex predators that can't be killed with average weapons, but I guess spell slot distribution is not fitting in your idealistic views.
Any wish has limitations otherwise world of FR would be not looking in the way it does. If Wish spell had no limitations - no war/plague/hunger/natural disasters and other suffering, which clearly isn't the case.No, Limited Wish has limitations.
In the world without science to at least partly comprehend world that surrounds caster, anyone who isn't omnipotent can make mistake with this spell. And at best it would result in some weird shit like houses which made from water and it in worst case this spell would destroy the world.The assumption is that anyone smart enough to be able to cast it isn't dumb enough to word it in a way that would get twisted.
Amount of fat in my body has zero correlation to fact that conjured food is shitty way to fed people, but nice try to dodge my argument. I eat much less food that caster able to summon, but I prefer food that has actual taste and vitamin value + can be stored in longer period of time than some shit from magical plane.How much food do you eat, fatty
Look, I now that CRPG love to shower magical equipment on you like these items grow like grass in plains, but normally magical equipment actually pretty rare and expensive and nobody has enough money to arm city guard with magical gear.No, the guards with magically enchanted equipment will do it.
Shadowrun does the job well. That said all the magic and tech shit is getting old and done to death.Real question is combining magic and technology, but that would be tough to write since you'd need to really understand technology. Trying to mass-produce magic with Mentats or autist breeding programs would be another thing.
Are you saying that Create Food summons forth the McDonald's meal of the gods? This is a fascinating discussion.Amount of fat in my body has zero correlation to fact that conjured food is shitty way to fed people, but nice try to dodge my argument.

How about you read spells description before accusing me in saying something?Are you saying that Create Food summons forth the McDonald's meal of the gods? This is a fascinating discussion.
People who haven't played PnP 5E, or maybe in general, don't have any idea how rare even +1 items are. In Dragon of Icespire Peak, there are a grand total of 2 +1 items, 3 if the DM creatively interprets a reward instruction, and they are specific items requiring proficiency to wield well.
