I feel like a lot of people here miss how mainstream playing D&D is these days. It's really not niche, in fact because of the social element it's more "normie" than most gaming-related hobbies.
The takeover of tabletop gaming from earnest nerds by attention-addled thots and disgusting troons is one of the great tragedies of our time

Now there's an interesting thing -- I killed Minthara in combat (my character, that is) and tried to use the Speak With The Dead ability on her corpse. Apparently, she recognized me as her killer and thus she won't speak with me.

It's even cooler, actually. Most enemies that actually have SWD interactions will actually talk to you if you use Disguise Self or similar, as then they don't recognize you.

Most woke part about this game is that you can't kill kids. So annoying.
I see the definition of woke is forever expanding.

Yes, apparently not murdering children is now a cornerstone of woke ideology. Disgusting. It's almost as bad as homosexuality..
Not only the murdering, but also not murdering? It's almost like Marxist dialectics.

Ha, reminds me of the old joke: How many Zen masters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two: one to screw it in, the other to not screw it in.

I gotta say I hit a bit of a snag around the Goblin Camp because I kind of retardedly went along with what """people""" told me. A healthy dose of skepticism is very much needed, or everyone and their mother will take advantage of you. I do like how the game gets you out of seeming no-win situations though.

The progress you make does feel a bit all over the place however. You go to the swamp a bit, then you go elsewhere, fight some gnolls, whatever. It's not bad but it's a bit unfocused.

Josh Sawyer, you say?



Currently he's super mad because he attacked the ground and can't get used to the UI.

Man this game keeps on giving!

:love:

It must be awful to be Josh Sawyer right now. Being one of the most jacked-off RPG designers around and yet having had nothing to do with one of the best RPGs made in the last decade while his own projects in the same period were largely commercial flops.

He admitted on stream that deadfire is "probably just not a good of a game" as BG3.

Also says BG3 has good writing.

Josh, what are you doing man?

:P

Yeah I feel bad too because the chat keeps harping on how bad Deadfire did in sales.

Shadowheart has the spell, there's scrolls, and if you played the Early Access version, you have in your camp a helmet that gives you the spell.
