what's yours :M

My pronoun is Milord. And I identify myself as an vampire lord, The government must give me a huge mansion with 666 gorgeous redhair/blonde servants with big breasts otherwise the society is vampirelordphobic!!!

Jokes aside, what happened with Fextralife and Larian?

Yeah, whats that about Fextralife and Larian?
Fextralife is just a shit fucking site just like Fandom Wiki but Decline sticks to Decline so I'm not surprised.

It's basically Dead Internet. Fextralife and Fandom are infested with ads, using seo and bots to get high page rank, and stealing content from other wikis. They will also forcibly take down any attempted redirection of users to new wiki, obviously to try and preserve their ad rev.

Corps trying to monetise shit and killing it in the process, nothing new here. Most wikis of value have migrated to wiki.gg from what I've seen, but if you're just searching for "<game> <question>", you'll get fextralife or fandom.

Fextralife's content is often shit as well. I was perusing the Wrath wiki to remind myself of some info I'd forgotten and came across so many unfinished or straight up incorrect articles on things that have been around since the game's release, it's just a trash wiki even if you don't care about the other stuff

I like underrail's approach to a wiki, hosted on the game developer site, no bullshit or shenanigans. Essential companion to the game.

Probably not. They simply don't want to make a great game.
Anybody know how space combat will work in co-op? Playing this with a friend and i dunno if we have the necessary autism levels to endure it if only one person is controlling the ship. Might just console kill the enemies :killit:

Dev-hosted resources will go down once the dev looses interest, goes bankrupt or passes away. Independent websites are much more likely to stay alive.

Yeah comparing Fandom for Kingmaker and Fextralife for Wrath. it just seems Fandom makes for passable wiki if you have addblock but jesus christ Fextralife is cancer even without adds.

Fextralife’s dark layout is terrible for your eyes, not unlike the Codex’s. :kingcomrade:

The set of 3 Exclusive (for the pre-order only) In-Game Items. First is the powerful Negotiator Pistol, which decreases the effectiveness of the target's armor and grants a passive bonus to the Persuasion skill.The second is the exquisite Digital Las-Ring fitted with a potent short-range las emitter capable of striking several targets in a row. And the third is the Xeno-Pelt Cloak, a trademark garment of any respectable Rogue Trader. This item reduces the chances of suffering especially devastating hits and grants a passive bonus to the Coercion skill.

getting good items from paying extra is major decline

I'm so tempted to pick this up, but.. by Terra I will resist the temptation of Chaos! No buying Owlcat games until a year after launch, minimum, from now on.
See you on the release day in the release thread then.
