Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
Schwartze-Skinned-Unterpersonn, bitte.

Act 3 has major changes dependent on your relationship with the Order of the Flaming Rose, potentially making the Knights non-hostile (which is key to avoiding a big fight when saving the la Valette kid and giving it to Roche), and granting you access to their camp and the merchant therein. You can even listen to their prayers (and I can tell you translating them to English was a kicker).

There are also some small reactions (optional fight, iirc) in Act 2, depending on whether you lifted Adda's curse or not.
Details, details. Now I vaguely remember you could bring Aerondight from W1 into W2, if you got it from the Lady of the Lake. So what, with the new, broken itemization of W2 it was quickly outclassed by generic sword nr 325.

How that was handled was pretty much my peak gaming :abyssgazer: moment.

Same thing happened in W3, which had even more broken itemization. For Geralt's great achievements Jarl of Skellige awarded him with the fabled ice sword, held in his family for generations, yadda yadda yadda.

Thing is, there were still like 10 levels between this moment and the endgame.

By the time my Geralt reached Eredin, Crach's ice sword was outclassed by dozens of regular weapons.

Still, I used it to slay Eredin. For immersion!

Imagine playing Origins in 2009 and looking forward to the future especially if your Warden survived and essentially becomes a living legend. Only for Bioware to continue to diminish Origins over the years until finally a tranny takes the reigns and disregards it completely.

Yeah, W3 implemented level scaling and level gating :shitandpiss:

...still for me that wasn't as shocking as throwing an epic quest reward sword from W1, a legendary weapon Lady of the Lake used to knight Geralt with, to the trash bin already in the very beginning of the game.
In TW1 I've felt actual attachement to this weapon, earning a weapon pretty much never felt better for me in a crpg.

I also tried going to the Gym during that because there was no way a lame hurricane was going to prevent me from completing my 60 day challenge; the Gym was closed, sadly, but I still managed to get a good workout at home with my dumbells and pull up bar.
Dude's in the middle of a hurricane and still manages to find time to shit on Dragon Age holy shit.

:salute: :-D:salute:
Understandable.

The faggots truly believed the normal majority would become accepting of their tragic and cruel shenanigans. The faggots were not only wrong but may have brought about their new destruction. A new AIDS virus would be the perfect cherry on top.

The YouTube algorithm continues to push a bunch of no-name women previewing the game into my feed, some have ~200 views after a week. BioWare actively selected these people to promote their game and no one is watching that shit lol. These studios think they can brute force a new audience into existence if they try hard enough and it clearly isn't working for them. We went from Marilyn Manson, to press A for Awesome, to unrelenting faggotry in Vielguard. What a ride.

I still don't understand how you fuck up a tiefling waifu. It's the most basic DnD waifu you can create. You just make a feminine face, throw some devil horns and boom, tiefling wafiu. Fucking Neeshka, Neeshka, looked better:

Wait, that isn't a dude?

*furiously Googles*

Raised in Rivain,[1] Taash lives for adventure and does not mind taking risks.[2] She is a thrill-seeking, headstrong, blunt,[3] and straightforward dragon hunter who wields dual-axes, and breathes out flames.[2] Taash is deeply knowledgeable about many topics,[2] well-connected, and knows someone for everything.[4]

Trivia​

  • Taash was written by Trick Weekes.[5]
  • Taash is the youngest of the companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, being in her early twenties, close to Sera's age.[6]
  • She is described as a gym bro[7] and a jock.[4]
  • She has an interest in sparkling treasures and hitting things with an axe.[2]
  • BioWare polled the Dragon Age game developers with the question "If our companions worked at the studio what would their jobs be?", Taash's top vote was testing with runner-up votes being in IT and audio. The included commentary stated:[8]
    • “Testing, and Taash would send all the bugs right back at us with a grin.”
    • “If Taash worked in IT, you’d try to get your things working before asking for help.”
    • “Taash could appreciate the bombastic yet subtle nature of Audio.”
Holy shit it is. And she's written by Trick Weekes, of course. Disgusting.

It should translate to itemization. Cut off your dick, get a unique charm +10% piercing damage
Wouldn't it be -10% piercing damage?
Bioware's too woke to make it a mallus. Alternatively, if you dipped into blood magic or whatever, you could reanimate your dong as a companion character.
