Your hand is not, in fact, a sex partner that counts

I've shown my posts on this site to dozens of women and they immediately go weak at the knees and start begging me to knock them up. FACT!!!!

It has been nearly a year since I was first disappointed by BG3. Any sign of it coming out of early access?

lol at the retards religiously defending the enhanced edition in the comments
C'mon. There are comments. It's something.

I'm sorry Ed, but I will not watch your video. Not now. The nazi vibe is too strong and codexers' ability to discuss anything in depth is too weak. I can't treat my ears to this stuff for 2 hours while trying to fall asleep.

I'll give you a like though.

Anyway. I've started a BG2 playthrough. The last few attempts fell short because IWD is better. Even ToEE is better.
I have all components of scs installed. I've forgotten most of npc interactions. The engine is good and I'm bored. I can finish SoA and play Ascension (for the first time, actually).

Watched while cleaning, was nice. I enjoyed the behind the scenes, different versions, and modding sections the most. Make sure you keep doing those. Most people on these forums and most people watching your videos would have already seen a retrospective of whatever popular rpg you're covering before. But that info from those sections was all new to me.

Yeah, to be honest I didn't even want to make a BG video. I did an Incelwind Dale vid because it was relatively obscure, but people kept pestering me to do the whole Infinitroon Engine series. So I try to find interesting/obscure information for those videos. My real passion is the short in-between videos on other games. Once I've done BG2 and PS:T I'll do short videos on stuff like the IWD and BG1 NWN2 remakes.

They probably changed her backstory. She's a 1:1 match to Red Sonya, except with the rape part taken out. Considering that her mother is elven, her father is never mentioned, and Angelo...well you can put it together.

I thought that part was implied tbh. Murder after rape isn't very uncommon, though I'm not sure how they would've botched it.

Retrospective by Ed123
"special effects in bg look like part of the world while iwd are flashy: like practical effects in movies vs CGI"
interesting comparison

cool sketches
"part traditional d&d art part comic art" hmm indeed these tunics do remind me a bit of old comics

"engine supported target priority and RTS-AI but it just killed testers since low level d&d doesn't have anything to counter so it got scrapped"
:balance:

"publisher did shit for game couldn't even make them a web page"

as expected.

She was human in the original, IIRC. Looks like another cuckdog change?

What is funny how the bio whiplashes from Shar-Teel's mother to Shar-Teel as if they were the same person...

It's from an archive of the old Interplay site. I'm guessing she got changed to human because Bioware wanted her to be dual-classable.

There's already a 3hr video by Noah-Caldwell-something on NWN, though I don't know what's in it. The problem with a NWN video is that it's hard to focus on singleplayer. I did play a little bit of PWs in NWN but I'm not really the person to talk about stuff like the DM system, the toolset etc. I could make a video on it the OC and singleplayer fan modules, but it would feel half-done. THe thing about focusing on the IE is that it also sets me up to, hypothetically, do follow up videos like Dragon Age: Origins and maybe some more recent games like Serpent in the Staglands, SKALD, etc. Or possible go backwards instead and maybe do Ultima? Not sure though.
