I dunno what the options are, only played on SP so far.

And in SP I'll lose the attribute driven arguing in dialogues.
You can still argue, but right now it's all either under your control or schizophrenic mode. I pick no AI on both characters and powerlarp my arguments :M

Actually AI for these dialogue interrruption is fairly interesting even if simple. The best way how to make it is actually when these dialogues are written. You add properties like, spiritual, honest, just. And then when you define AI you also define what it will like. And it's done.

Creating real AI character is much worse. Between these two extremes is psychomodeling which is also interesting AI topic (and which nobody exept me does).

I talked about these 20 hours of work Larian didn't did and promised to do in August.

Technically it's called personalities for dialogues, not AI.

Dead State Divinity: Original Sin
Tried to join random co-op just to guide the new ones...
If they even bothered understanding how elementals work - maybe, just maybe they stand a chance
But seeing them floundering like a dumbfuck - giving Mages Man-o-War skills and saying 'I want to swordplay sometime'
Then why the hell did you make a mage?
Told her to pull the 2nd zombie grp Lv 3 to guards for easier time , no we can do it -
Yeah one poison vomit and she died. I leapt 15 metre and server shuts down.

2nd Try - guy did quests , seems promising, hit lvl 3 before leaving Cyseal for wilderness except...we're bound for the beach where Lv 6 Orcs are.
Without any elemental combo awareness, faggot just dies so quick - I tried my best with the Witch assigned to me, but alas - GG sucker. He died and server shuts down.

I'm amazed at how clueless and impatient modern gamers are, I try hard not to lead them too much, but at times they're just hopelessly clueless anyway.
I think they misinterpreted this game as some kind of diablo where you can just take on mobs and kite forever - but man - that just won't work in here.
Oh well. Nice try. Didn't have much fun tonight.

Trying to play with random people RPG, especially like DOS is like trying to shit and eat at the same time.

Sure it is possible.... but why would you do that ?

If you trespass then fight the guards of course that impacts your questing. If you coop with dumbfucks of course you won't have fun.

It actually sounds like it was a pair of dumbfucks co-op'ing, in which case I'm not surprised he ragequit.

Hm? Maybe I'm just burned out.
Whatever complaints that Grunker mentioned was kinda valid.
Char development got boring - and most of the roles are pretty much set from the start.
Deviating would only fuck up your build. And trying to take on higher level mobs isn't worth teh trouble.
All those debates lead to one time bonuses unless you fuck up a selection and neutralizes it.
I didn't feel the game was worth pushing through past Cyseal.
Pretty much assigned this game to yet another Larian game I can't care enough to finish I guess.

It's got solid foundation, but somewhere mid-way I just lost interest cause there's nothing interesting to see anymore.
It's definitely an incline, though.

And to those of you who seem to call it as some kind of near flawless gem - sure, OK.
Don't be mad now, yo. It's cool, nigga.
You got yo' shit, mo'fucka.
No need to let off the heat, yo.

Maybe those people just didn't want to play with you, RK.
You kind of are a party killer you know.

What the hell are you going on about

They just want to slurp that awesome 'roleplaying' discussion you have with NPCs that are settled with a mini-game.
To be more real, you know.
Cause real people argue like that.

Yeah, and the game can't even react to dead jailer -
guards stand still broken and - oh wait you're just picking on something from the whole passage.
you're not really making a valid criticism of my opinion, were you?
OK then.
eurotrash.

Didn't they say they would allow backers to create background for jailers and give them theirs faces? Or something like that? While these guards are the most often murdered characters, I wonder if they did what they said.

I find it hard to reply to your opinion when it boils down to "I've been doing stupid shit since the start of the game and now I don't like it because it sucks".

There is nothing wrong with Skyrim aside nobody created mod like OOO for Skyrim, thus Skyrim sucks at high levels.

How long will it take for the DOS haze to go off

SRR and MMX lasted about two weeks
