Anyone else think ray tracing "denoising" is so bad it ruins any benefit the effect itself has? Obviously the grainy image is also unbearable, but that denoising is super smudgy and fake looking. I'd rather crisp images without ray tracing by a mile...

That first picture looks like Amid Evil!

BRING 'EM ON

Fortunately Boreale has become the god of wuxia at this point, so after a long session of whoopass later...

Please be into writings about Boreale noble scholars

Yes, the original Q2 looked better than that.

But hey, newfags gonna newfag. Don't forget, they even use that melting wax filter on old 2D pixelated games.

I mean this:

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the generation which is pushing blur-filter AA solutions and shitty post-process effects is also pushing a lighting change that requires smoothing the whole image to make it look like melting butter, but fuck man... it looks hideous to me. Just baffling. Old man yells at cloud though I guess.

Final battle

Damn, this campaign was really easy. With Hexoatl I was struggling even with save scumming and reloading time and time again. This time I finished whole campaign without reloading and on my first try

Conflict of Destiny, last map of the user made Unification of Rife campaign for HoMM 3.

Brutal map, and I needed all the divine help I could get.

The epic journey in Anvil of Dawn continues. Great levels so far which are introducing new elements and adding new enemies. I learn also lots of new spells. Even if we aren't sure at first what are they doing, there is a nice spell book that we can read to see all the scrolls that we have found with animated icons. Also, the automap is great, and we can see almost everything, except spinners on it. Of course we can make our own notes as well.

After introducing poison status, we have two new enemies that can use ranged attacks and make our experience painful.

I can heal the roots of the Elder Tree to enter another location. Which isn't the only one. But I found about it later on.

Spoiler

War, war never changes.

Those huge monkey are hardest enemy so far. Ton of HP and their physical attacks take a lot of my health. Larping Sub-Zero is the only option here.

The king of giant baboons. After you free him, they will stop attacking you. Also, there is some good stuff hidden here as well.

The new tribe of warriors is introduced as well. More relentless than regular ones. They also mock you with a Scottish accent.

The Warlord plays with some sick magic all around. This here is one of many monks changed into this abomination. Even when you don't see them, they make those characteristic noise that keeps you focused. And for their size, they are really fast.

Something more normal. Those flying beasts are mostly in small packs and physical attacks are more than enough to beat them.

Precious supplies. With more and more items being introduced we find bags and chests that can help keep your inventory nice and clean. I recommend to use one bag to keep boudlers for the puzzles. AoD has a lot of pedestal puzzles when you need to put some weight on them.

"And to you ND, I give you bottle of my tears. For all your thirsty Codex boys."

City of the Dead - lots of undead rangers with long corridors.

Lurking Stench - another poisonous creature. Thankfully, the developers included a nice unique shield in the area that makes us immune to those attacks.

The underground levels are infested with infernal bones. They use fire balls from the distance and painful physical attacks with some extra fire on top.

Anvil of Dawn is a game that should not be good, with its outdated tech with real time step based movement and only one character almost 10 years after Dungeon Master, yet it's fun to play.

Interesting.

Well, technically I am following crosses on a map.

The Bachelor is a real smartass. Can't wait to play him.

Why do they always want to be friends with me?

It does what?

When the inquisitor crushes paper so hard you can hear it at the other end of the town.

After delivering whoopass on like 8 suckers during the WORLD'S BEST SWORDSMAN CHAMPIONSHIP, finally this creepy-looking guy steps forth.

Spoiler

He's actually pretty stronk if you let him snowball, because under 50% hp he gets double strikes. So you want to take him down quickly and efficiently.

Strange prosperian monks are beating me up.

This strange creature doesn't tell anything useful. The Reed Plain is an interesting place, where you need to move through in every direction to clean the area. There are some spikes and Will O' Wisps hidden, plus a lot of Orcs. This is one of the locations, that we need to go through to find our way out to the Iron Titan, which is a really complex dungeon.

Spoiler

You can find an item to get rid of the two headed giant and go directly to Iron Titan. But since I didn't play the game earlier, I've tried another approach as well. Visiting Gorge Keep by navigating through the solid land is an alternative place to visit and create a shortcut.

I've found Brice, one of the other heroes. I'll get those bastards that have done this to him.

The beginning is very tough, all pack of Orcs on wolves, and you can't use magic. It's a good place for grinding your skills, since there is a lot of enemies.

There is a soldier in an ice cube that can be rescued.

Finally, Iron Titan. The place has a lot of traps, new enemies and an interesting guest that needs our help.

Instead of creating magic barriers, the Warlord chained up a men and mage him a giant. I need to make him normal.

Aracinfants are really creepy, they look like something that could be included in Doom 3.

Damn Swarm Maidens. I used magic on them, since they are made of insects. Wind or Fire magic is the best option.

A single greedy rat of Don Pestorius family. He rubs his hand, but this time I will be grabbing the loot.

I found something that might interest JarlFrank .

Just pretend those are dwarven female feet.
