I have a dedicated bags for ALL BOOKS. Gotta keep that lore men

bottomless bag for the deepest lore

speaking of:

Spoiler

BUT THOU MUST!!!!!

Yes, the above convo loops 24/7 if you keep picking option #3.

And then when you pick option #2...

Spoiler

gaem's writung truly has improved consideraburury!!!

i also will leave it without comment how this womyn's VA first introduces herself as "muh leidi", and then the narrator says it properly as "mahlahdi"

jesus christ on a pogo stick

Cherrypicking one example of cheesy writing doesnt really prove your point. Yes there are bad parts, but there is not one rpg in existence that is completely free from those moments.

 

[tripedal]

That reactive armor nerf....

 

[AwesomeButton]

Best song in soundtrack imo

Spoiler

They also included Power of Innocence with orchestra

I like Mead, Gold and Blood (the second track) a lot. But everything is good. And the orchestra adds a lot to the feeling. Masterful.

I think that's one of the best too:

I've had instances where I've been struck by bad writing, but also when I've been struck by well-written and well-voiced lines.

One dwarf in the Seekers' camp said that the demons "have their [the sourcerers'] number". I don't know how this anachronism passed through editing.

 

[Nerevar]

*teleports behind you and bites your ear* It is so bad it is funny.

 

[Fairfax]

• Rune slots are now limited to one slot per item

I think they meant the opposite? I just noticed some of my gear has 2 rune slots instead of 1 now.

 

[Stavrophore]

This is relevant, since im 99% sure quotes are from RPGCuckdex.

"Aristcrat" -- morons. You can ridicule class which you don't have, but you shall remain in the pigsty of gaming all your life.

 

[KateMicucci]

Are you a disciple of Swenism?

A priest of the Larian sect, proclaimed heretics by the church of Fig?

Hath thee of the bastard faith sought terror and doom upon all systems of man?

The 'dex is a swamp. Your religion cannot grow here.

Apostatize.

I had a lot of free time the last two weeks, but I still don't value my time so little that I'd waste it complaining about games I don't like. I like this game.

Larian has been writing this shit for years, through multiple games... it would be cherry-picking if you actually posted some screens of actual good dialogue from the game.

A fantasy game can just about scrape by. It's more jarring listening to 8th Century Danes use modern language in the historical setting of Expeditions: Viking. They have to adapt it for today's audience though, and the writing can feel a little robotic if everybody has a straightforward manner of speech. Years of watching Star Trek seasoning modern idioms with sci-fi spices has allowed me to build up a tolerance.

I threw away the Obsidian Lancet that is required for the first ritual during the main quest when you meet your God. Aapparently I have to do the ritual again after 50 hours of gameplay, but...I no longer have the Obsidian Lancet to draw blood from myself anymore because I sold it/threw it, essentially giving me an unofficial GAME OVER. Fuck if I remember what I did with the knife, it was like 40+ hours ago. Who knew the fate of the world rested in the hands of a retarded knife.

This bullshit pissed me off so much, I shelved the game. I don't think any other game destroyed my mood to play it as much as this one. So yeah, if you guys are missing the Obsidian Lancet OR/AND the Ritual Bowl and you have no idea where you've placed it, you're fucking screwed.

Brought to you by RPG Codex, a place where people complain about modern RPGs being made for retarded children and about devs aiming their games at brain-dead casuals who can't handle quest items unless game forbids them from doing dumb stuff with important artifacts.

"Important artifacts". An obsidian knife doesn't sound like an important artifact. It sounds like an object you would find again in the game. Name one more game that pulls off this "you just found out you're fucked for what you did 50 hours ago" shit. I do this kind of inventory purging in every game, and it NEVER happened to me before.

Do you really need the lance? I think to progress to act 3 you need to know the location of Mist Island. I remember having option to sail without finishing getting stoned by source smoke. Second time gives you Vampirism. Also if you finish ALL options to increase source dots Daemona the elf-gargoyle summons you on ship with owl.

.....but seriously guys, who doesn't put anything that looks questy into separate bag together with all books and suspicious looking crafting materials? I mean, you even have Enteprise and inventory option to store items on it.

Thanks. I empty my bags all the time because I have inventory space OCD. I hate to have my inventory full of ten thousand items(especially in this game), and the "Send to Lady Vengeance storage" option is broken and doesn't work. Not gonna teleport to it every single time.

As others have mentioned there's similar thing in Planescape as well as new Numenera: you can think that Bronze Sphere is useless and drop it or never get it. In original game it affected the ending, in the new game it potentially left you with a smaller party and therefore harder game.

You could also break some older games by dropping items and easily so. IIRC Wizardry 7 allowed you to miss important quest items. I think Fallout 1-2 lets you drop anything so you can leave important quest items in no longer accessible locations. I lost quest items in Arcanum, I think.

The difference is in those games there was also a way to go forward. I haven't played DOS2 yet and I don't know if it is so in your case. Larian says their main quest can be completed even if you behave like an idiot so there it seems they've missed a big thing.

Main Quest or not that's fucking irrelevant. I screwed up quests, and I am fine with that. Never cheesed with saves either. But this "...50 hours later" shtick is beyond retarded.

Here's a fun fact: the same shit happens with notes as well. Yes, if you don't carry hoards of notes with you, you will not be able to complete the quest, because for example in one quest you find out about an demon's name from a note, but if you don't have the note, the game insists that you do not actually know his name even though I fucking do, because I opened it and read it myself. Yeah thanks game, not like I have a journal anything. Feels more like an homage to old RPGs than an useful tool.

Not to mention this game is an inventory nightmare too, can you blame people if they accidentally sold or dropped shit when half of your game time is spent moving stuff between inventories?

Wasting too much time reloading choices, time to stop giving a shit with a chance for replay later.
