There are atleast 3 games id rather play

lunar mirage
#

Before even thinking abt playing ff

#

And thats without thinking about it too much

obtuse dawn
#

Please tell me it's Forspoken

#

Please.

lunar mirage
#

No idea what that is

obtuse dawn
#

Biomutant?

#

I'd take Biomutant

sturdy field
#

ff14 would be much diff than like, 10. One is like wow and one is a turn based rpg. But if you were to tell me you'd like to play FF14 for the pvp I would tell you to just not even bother lol

lunar mirage
#

But id say this remenant game / elden ring / god of war on pc

#

But its lalo time

#

Adios

obtuse dawn
#

Cause the questing is almost an exact clone from XIV

Maybe the game director for XVI asked for some ideas from the game director of XIV

glad they talk to each other

#

Me too.

I can feel Anya hovering about to give me shit about talking about FF

#

Been enjoying Zelda TotK so far, mostly playing it in bed before sleep lol, 65 hours in and only 1/5 dungeons done, mostly been exploring and side stuff

Without spoiling anything one of the main quests felt very "Interstellar" to me, it was well done

#

Open world games just not for me

sturdy field
#

I had a hard time in BotW too, I just did the main quest and yolo'd, but I'm just running without a goal so far just doing w/e I find

#

Last weekend my horse that I brought over from botw got murdered though, that was annoying.

sturdy field
# candid edge Open world games just not for me

I find it's a bit more straightforward in this one, they tell you what to do if you rather just do main story, theres like a few quests you pick up early on that branch out in a couple of places, but you can just do that if you want to. Lots of running everywhere though and climbing and flying and...building tanks?

candid edge
#

I saw someone build a tie fighter lmao

obtuse dawn

Other than I feel dumb playing it compared to other people

you can resurect it though

Horse god?

Oh damn I was kiddin, there's a horse god?

Oh Im rogue, I play rogue in every D&D

shy mesa
#

Your hand to hand combat dmg is directly boosted when you level up.

#

and you even eventually get a diamond body, which reduces spell dmg and poisons.

#

And you get access to a stun move. And later on an instant kill move once per day.

#

Literally, one-man army. 😄

#

Also, your wisdom boosts your armor class, iirc.

#

and your accuracy.

light pilot

btw these are the best part that they implement

Those things have some pretty disgusting "pets" and other associated abominations.

yea go fuck urself too bud

joke's on me for sharing my opinions huh

shy mesa

Sorry, sorry.

#

But you're right.

candid edge
#

ive never done DnD so this will all be new to me

shy mesa
#

I still remember that portion of Icewind Dale that makes you go through the Underdark.

#

And you run into one of their hives.

viscid swan
#

yuck

shy mesa
#

Where there was this giant brain.

#

The "Mother brain" so to speak.

viscid swan
#

nah the ||parasite in your eyeball|| thing specifically creeps me out more than the other bits mostly

shy mesa
#

And since Illithids are psionic entities.

#

Yeah.

viscid swan

shy mesa
#

"From their twisted lairs deep in the Underdark, these alien entities sought to expand their dominion over all other lifeforms, controlling their minds to use them as obedient thralls.[2] They consumed their victims' very personality by extracting and devouring their brains while they were still alive."

Yeah.

They're basically mind eaters.

eyeballs and needles in tv

viscid swan

yea i hate the needle eyeball trope too

candid edge
#

i work in surgical procedures and i can handle blood and all that stuff fine

shy mesa

But yeah.

viscid swan
#

theres a bit of the opening cutscene that might gross you out but if youre fine with the rest of it you'll probably be just fine

candid edge

eyeballs nope

if you have a way to immunize yourself against mental attacks.

candid edge
#

we're watching the new insidious tn

#

err this weekend

viscid swan
candid edge
#

didn't clockwork orange

#

have a famous scene

shy mesa
#

"One mind flayer sees ye, and they all see.
One mind. One nasty, suspicious mind."

#

_>

candid edge
#

with like eyes taped open

shy mesa
#

Quoted from Elminster, a renowned mage.

viscid swan
#

yea people like doing gross things to eyeballs. probably because its gross and it elicits the reaction they want in the audience

shy mesa
#

"Mind flayer colonies operated as a single hive mind, with control centralized by an elder brain, a singular entity that exerted its telepathic control simultaneously over all mind flayers within a radius of 5 miles (8 kilometers)."

viscid swan
#

wait thats just me showing up to work though

#

im a mind flayer in the office

shy mesa
#

oh btw.

#

the eyeball parasite you mentioned.

#

Seems to be a "tadpole" of theirs.

#

That's apparently how they reproduce.

#

By parasiting other humanoids.

#

through a process called "Ceremorphosis".

#

"The elder brain also fed exclusively on tadpoles. Tadpoles that survived to maturity were put through the ceremony of ceremorphosis, where each was implanted into a humanoid victim and devoured its brain, taking its place and merging with the body to transform it into a new illithid. Only some humanoid species were suitable hosts for illithid tadpoles."

#

See?

#

They're abominations.

#

Terminate on sight. And steel your mind.

#

(oh, and if that wasn't enough, they can parasite a dragon)

#

(Yeah, nasty thought)

#

oh, and you know Beholders, right?

candid edge
#

if i get into this

#

am i gonna end up going down a lore rabbit hole

shy mesa
#

The flying multiple eyeball thing from which Durumu and a few other similar abominations are like?

shy mesa
#

Maybe you should read up on the previous Baldur's Gate games though.

#

Baldur's Gate is basically a big name city in the Forgotten Realms.

#

There's Neverwinter up north. The last big city before the end of civilization.

#

Waterdeep...

#

And back to what I was saying. Apparently, they can also parasite beholders, the result is pretty eerie.

candid edge
#

is neverwinter nights related to this too

shy mesa
#

Not, but it happens in the same realm.

#

So if you know names like Drizzt do'urden.

#

for example.

#

He's basically somewhere in there.

#

oh yeah! I just remembered that one of the "pets" Mind Flayers have is an Intellect Devourer.

#

Something that looks like a dog, but has a brain instead of a head.

#

or basically, a brain that sprouted legs.

#

Seriously, aberrations are probably the worst things in D&D. =.=

#

But Golems are a close second! 😄

#

Let's just say there's a lot of nasty beasties that exists in the D&D universe.

#

From the more classical, to the more horrific, while passing through the exotic.

light pilot
shy mesa
#

I read a bit.

#

Seems Mind Flayers are quite central to Baldur's Gate 3.

#

Or its story anyway.

light pilot
#

I just try monk before I slept. It is not what I expected and it is not my style at all lol

#

Have no idea why ppl said it is op but my strat is more op 😄

candid edge
#

so is the story the same every time

light pilot
#

Depend on your choices

candid edge
#

so replaying could be a dramatically diff story?

light pilot
#

Yep

candid edge
#

oih my this could occupy my time

light pilot
#

They said it has more than 10k ending

#

Well slightly diff in each ending anyway

viscid swan
#

i watched a video about bg1 and 2 and I’ll be honest it hasn’t helped me at all yet

candid edge
#

yeah diff endings is one thing

#

moreso curious if there are diff storylines

viscid swan
#

the game does a good job of informing the player so far for me

light pilot
#

Gonna start act 2 soon in an hour

candid edge
#

im not scheduled for any work tomorrow so i'll be gaming

light pilot
#

Same

#

Back to 2 warlocks strat 😄

#

Even 85% is not reliable in tactician

#

Missed like 5 times in a row woth that percent

light pilot

feat 'actor' for warlock is too op 😄

zinc hamlet

obtuse dawn
#

Druids in this game are little punk bitches

light pilot
#

I give up on melee

#

I fought with goblin boss and got 15 missed in a row

#

85% chance hit

obtuse dawn
#

Melee seems bugged

#

Maybe it’s just me

#

Fought the harpies and almost every melee missed

light pilot
#

right now my party is 2 lock 1 wiz and a rogue

#

spam cloud of dagger

#

rip melee dream

#

I mean with my build I can fight with 10+ enemies

#

so no way melee can survive this gameplay

obtuse dawn
#

I Need to do some research on the miss mechanic

light pilot
#

there is a trick I just found a few hours ago that you can trigger the entire goblin castle and killed them all at once

obtuse dawn
#

Shit I’m still exploring the first campsite and trying to get my stuff back

shy mesa
#

Lol, you guys aren't investing in the right skills, that's all.

light pilot
#

@obtuse dawn
look how ez the roll is when you play as warlock

shy mesa
#

You need + rolls modifiers for melee hits.

light pilot
shy mesa
#

Same shit in regular DnD.

#

=/

#

It is dice rolls.

#

You can miss.

#

Casters on the other hand, usually have limited spell casts per day depending on their class level.

obtuse dawn
#

When they level up I’m on lemme pick my attributes you son of a bitch

shy mesa
#

in DnD games, you don't get to give attributes points at every level.

#

they're at "set" levels.

#

because attribute points are really important.

#

Usually, you will want enchanted armor and equipment for that reason.

obtuse dawn
#

Ah okay

#

That makes sense

shy mesa
#

You get like 1 skill point every 3 levels iirc, and a few attribute points every 5 or so levels.

#

IF memory serves, and the rules are the same.

#

Keep in mind I'm mostly familiar with games based on the 3rd edition set of rules, and BG3 plays by the 5th.

light pilot
#

@shy mesa well I play on tactician and it is normal for tbrpg on high difficulty that roll is not gonna reliable

shy mesa
#

got spells to boost your accuracy?

light pilot
#

that why go melee is gonna be hard

shy mesa
#

Usually, a cleric has "bless".

#

Bless is a very good basic clerical spell that boosts your hit chance.

light pilot
#

still you can miss

obtuse dawn
#

Cleric does have a bless

shy mesa
#

Of course you can miss. =/

obtuse dawn
#

She’s racist af

light pilot
#

bro 85% but miss 5 time in a row 😄

obtuse dawn
#

But she has a bless

shy mesa
#

Monsters sometimes have high AC.

#

high AC = higher chance to miss.

obtuse dawn
#

Damn this game reminds me of my old MUDdin days

shy mesa
#

I played Icewind Dale 1 an 2 games and Neverwinter Nights 1 and its expansions.

#

Just so you know my experience with DnD.

#

Also played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2.

#

So I have a little idea of what the main mechanics of those games are, how they play, etc.

obtuse dawn
#

Oh no man you’ve helped me

shy mesa
#

Attribute points are veryyyy important when you're starting out.

obtuse dawn
#

I’m like wtf can’t I put points in, thought I might have enabled some dummy setting

shy mesa
#

Then they get less important as you get higher.

obtuse dawn
#

But each one of char’s are only lvl 3

shy mesa
#

Yeah.

#

that's baby level.

#

😛

obtuse dawn
#

Haha ye

shy mesa
#

Wait until you reach lvl 20, and you should be good.

obtuse dawn
#

I’m sure to divinity where every lvl gets you points

shy mesa
#

Well, Divinity is different. =/

#

(I've played Original Sin 1 and 2, but haven't completed, should get around to that)

#

Do remember that in some DnD, multiclassing is a thing.

#

There are rules about multiclassing though.

obtuse dawn
#

Ha yeah I gotta remember that

shy mesa
#

If I remember right, agility classes like rogues and rangers/hunters use Dexterity or whatever instead of Strength for their chance to hit modifiers.

#

Monks use Wisdom.

#

(or maybe that comes later)

#

Fun thing with rangers, from memory, is that they could summon a pet.

#

And choose a type of enemy as "mortal enemy", which gave them bonuses when fighting them.

#

(You could eventually choose a second mortal enemy and a third, I think)

obtuse dawn
#

Yeah def for rogues

shy mesa
#

(All the while increasing the bonuses against your first nemesis)

obtuse dawn
#

Dex

shy mesa
#

yeah.

#

that's why initially, you want a good balance.

obtuse dawn
#

This shit is complex 😂

shy mesa
#

Standard DnD fare. XD

#

Remember that 10 is "normal".

#

If you substract points from that, you fall into negatives.

obtuse dawn
#

Is this for attributes?

shy mesa
#

yeah.

obtuse dawn
#

Or like everything

shy mesa
#

Charisma.

#

etc.

obtuse dawn
#

Okay okay

#

Got it

shy mesa
#

like, paladins use Charisma for a lot of their abilities.

obtuse dawn
#

You my d&d guru now

shy mesa
#

iirc.

#

just so you know.

#

you get+1 to an attribute for every 2 points you invest.

#

wait.

#

I said that wrong.

#

like, for 2 points above 10, like 12. You will get a +1 modifier.

#

This is useful to know for a lot of game mechanics.

#

Do note that apparently, going under 10 intelligence impacts your ability to speak. 😛

#

(This can be funny for some humanoid races that are purely melee)

#

"me bash good", etc.

obtuse dawn
#

I have something I need to show you later from the game that maybe you can explain

shy mesa
#

Maybe...

obtuse dawn
#

You’re smart in this

shy mesa
#

I'm not up to date with 5th edition rules.

#

just warning ya.

obtuse dawn
#

I bet you you’ll see it and be like

#

Ah yeah

#

Explanation

deft violet
obtuse dawn
#

I used to play d&d with friends but I was 100% that lazy@player who came for the social and not the deep mechanics

#

They’d spend months on character sheets. I’d write it out as I was there

light pilot
#

get this item, ez stat

shy mesa
#

oh, nice.

#

Those are poggers for dex classes like rogues.

#

a +1 attack is good too.

#

Dex has a small effect for hitting targets for melee classes that don't rely on it, but it's nice to have.

#

Note that there are also racial modifiers when it comes to stats.

#

For example, elves will usually have more intellect and dexterity, but average endurace and low strength.

#

You know, the standard fare in fantasy.

obtuse dawn
light pilot
#

😎

shy mesa
obtuse dawn
#

He can see in the dark etc

shy mesa
#

no.

#

I meant stat-wise.

#

Racial abilities are still a thing.

obtuse dawn
#

Oh

shy mesa
#

Like you know.

#

Dwarves are normally stronger and hardier.

obtuse dawn
#

Oh yeah

shy mesa
#

But lose some points in charisma or dexterity.

#

that sorta thing

#
Modular Realms

Stats in DnD represent your characters base abilities. There are three stats to represent your physical abilities; Strength, Dexterity and Constitution, and three stats to represent your mental abilities; Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. For each of those six stats, your character has an ability score, usually between 6-20. Your ability score ...

#

This may help a bit.

shy mesa
#

oh yeah.

#

apparently, they also did away with the weapon classes.

#

like, there are hit penalties if your character is using a certain weapon class.

#

The heavier the weapon is, the more points into the proficiency associated with it you need to invest before you can actually reliably start hitting things.

light pilot
#

you can fix that with feat

shy mesa
#

^

light pilot
#

but yes

shy mesa
#

Basically, if you're using a 2h weapon without having the feat, god help you hit stuff.

#

swords and daggers usually have a neutral chance to hit, with daggers having less dmg, but higher base chance to hit.

#

Rogues get dmg modifiers when using daggers though. 😛

#

(yey, backstab!)

#

It sucks that some non-sentient monsters are immune to backstab though (like golems), but maybe they changed that in this game.

#

(Remember that multiclassing a ranger to a rogue may give it the ability to do sneak attacks at range. ;D )

candid edge
#

I have game downloaded I’m ready to be overwhelmed

shy mesa
#

hahahaha. Good luck!

#

"Realistically, your race determines three things in DND:

Your stat bonuses;

Your other starting bonuses, such as specific spells, proficiencies, or abilities (like darkvision or resistance) [other mechanical features, like race-specific gear, also fall under this].

Your place within the world. The relationships you might have with other groups of people, how you might see the world, or how others might inherently perceive you."

#

Anyway, DnD games are always fun, but knowing how it works is part of it.

#

Remember that druids need wisdom for most of their spells.

#

And that shapeshifting usually boosts some stats so they can perform better in said form.

#

(higher wildshapes normally include Umber Hulk, and can ultimately reach Dragon)

#

(Now I dunno if that's the case here. 😛 )

#

Shapeshifting usually temporarily grants you some abilities.

light pilot
#

but you will become glass cannon

shy mesa
#

for example, a spider might get to shoot venom or threads.

#

Kinda.

#

Depends on what you transform.

light pilot
#

keep in mine you poly yourself

shy mesa
#

Yes.

#

You can't use potions, items or your basic druid spells while in shape.

Haha I mean you’re not wrong

shy mesa

There's probably a max item range anyway.

#

Btw, Clerics can also be dark clerics btw. 😄

light pilot
shy mesa
#

So if your cleric is racist, maybe that's part of it.

obtuse dawn
#

Probably

shy mesa
#

Remember that alignment usually plays a part in DnD.

obtuse dawn
#

Was gonna give my back line cleric all the potions and just have them chuck it at people

shy mesa
#

You know the whole Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil stuff?

obtuse dawn

Oh yeah.

Btw.

obtuse dawn
shy mesa
#

do you have a bard, Kaed?

sturdy field
shy mesa
#

Bards also have songs that can increase chance to hit.

#

Their songs last a certain amount of rounds and they can't do anything while they channel it though. XD

obtuse dawn
#

No, it’s rogue, battle master (tank), evocation mage and cleric

shy mesa
#

(Basically, they're AoE buffers)

#

Hmmm

Magic missile slaps

shy mesa

Magic Missile always slaps early on.

but it's a basic spell.

With misty step?

Wait until you get Fireball.

@light pilot What’s the key to do an area search

#

Where the little circle goes out and you can pick up everything. Without clicking each item on the ground

#

Ah nvm. Only can do it with a controller

light pilot
obtuse dawn
#

With controller you can walk next to a group of items and press a button

#

It’ll area search and put everything in a list you can decide to grab or not

#

I imagine they put it in just for controller because you can individual click on stuff

#

It’s very convenient

there is a boss that take 4 move per turn and it literally destroy your party

It's literally a high level zone.

So the number one tip I’ve seen so far is save often

shy mesa

can't you restore your saves though? through cloud sync on steam or w/e its called

Nah the whole game bugs

You can’t recover at fire

Or sleep

I just tested it to before I put in the DLL and it works fine

#

You go to use the fire and sleeping bag and it’s just a context menu, can’t click anything

no need to rush

I read every line in the game 😄

The only thing Im not a huge fan of as of yet

Is the romance options

I dont want to sleep with everyone whos in my party

Feels rather forced at times

btw there are so many thunder dmg buff item in late act1. Just in case you wanna try storm soc.

picking up a six pack and planning to go again with buddy tn

gonna be good times

#

we uhh randomly fell down a hole and got jumped by 5 bandits

#

and got wrecked

obtuse dawn
#

Sometimes it helps to think outside the box too. Like as a rogue I have illusion, so I use it to pick pocket npcs then I use it to lure them into rooms, close the door and one shot them to grab their remaining loot.

#

Granted I only do this to evil npcs 😄

#

But the game is so complex in its systems you can really come up with a lot of ways to kill stuff

light pilot
#

you are gonna love robot boss 😄

#

took me half of an hour to kill it

The attack on the place with the evil one was pretty fun

That must be very good case and peripherals then

obtuse dawn
#

Roll for deception

cunning valley
cunning valley
#

overkill for now? but will last a while yes?

timid walrus
#

Yes, but if you only plan to play those games, BAER would recommend to save some money and buy ryzen 5 instead of 7. And maybe one tier lower gpu. (and get a different mouse and keyboard)

cunning valley
#

i think the mouse and keyboard just comes with it, i use a razer mouse and keyboard currently that ill prolly still use after!, and well i dont know if those will be the only games ill play, they are the only ones i currently play though

timid walrus
#

That pc if more build for 4k gaming... You have a 4k screen?

cunning valley
#

i do yes

timid walrus
#

Then it will be fine for a while. But even the newest AAA games on ultra don't have enough gpu power with the 4090 to run smooth on 4k.

@obtuse dawn wtf does this mean

#

level 1 spell slot

shy mesa
#

Hmmm.

#

Now, I'm not quite certain, buuuut.

#

ok, let me just check. I'm not sure what "advantage" does in this game.

shy mesa
#

It basically means that it's just that, a lvl 1 spell.

obsidian geyser
#

can slot it in lvl 1 spell slots

shy mesa
#

Spells in DnD have levels of power.

#

this one is ONE of the lvl 1 spells.

#

Eventually, you'll unlock lvl 2 spells and slots.

candid edge
#

i can't use it idk why lol

shy mesa
#

In DnD, spells are usually limited uses per day.

candid edge
#

ah

shy mesa
#

Because you don't have a lvl 1 spell slot?

candid edge
#

it said something about long rest

shy mesa
#

Yeah.

#

Spells don't have unlimited uses.

candid edge
#

wtf is this game

shy mesa
#

You gotta rest once you're out and it recharges them.

#

It's DnD man. =/

#

If you don't have spells, I hope you have a staff or something.

#

Magical staves or items usually have charges of a spell on it.

#

Which can be used as a backup.

#

like a wand of fireballs.

#

or a wand of magic missiles.

#

Those you just need magic item proficiency, or something like that, and your caster can equip them so they're not sitting ducks when they run out of spell uses.

"The tarrasque (pronounced: /tɑːˈræsk/ tah-RÆSK[6][7]) was the most terrible creature known to inhabit the Prime Material Plane. The beast was a full 50 feet (15 meters) tall and 70 feet (21 meters) long[8] quadruped with a long tail, reflective carapace, and two large horns on its head.[9] Supposedly, there was only one tarrasque, which slumbered within the world's core.[9] No one could predict when it would next awake."

I remember not understanding his ult

I woulda played hon instead of league

#

If hon was free at that tjme

#

Time

candid edge
#

i think that's where they fucked up

shy mesa
#

"The tarrasque had many unusual abilities gifted to it by its creators. Among the most terrifying of these was its ability to ignore any natural resistances its victims had, cutting right through them with its deadly attacks. It also had the ability to dramatically hinder the ability of creatures within 200 feet (61 meters) of it to fly, reducing their speed substantially while also bringing them down to a maximum altitude of twenty feet, which put them within the beast's reach."

obsidian geyser
#

But it wasn't so I played league

candid edge
#

i think it was a real tossup at the time whether HON or league was gonna win out

shy mesa

Basically, Tarrasque is a huge fuck you.

but hon was B2P

and league was f2p

BAER got a twitch link from someone BAER knows, but it was a fake one with the request of watching them. link looked like twitch, preview as well... But the website was something like twitch.tv.(long random mess).(maliciouswebsite).com BAER apparently was too tired to notice it.
It apparently then managed to steal session tokens from the in browser discord. Was not detected (yet) by many anti virusses, but apparently is detected by most of them now.
BAER didn't lost the account, but it just deleted every server and friend. (guess they usually ransom, but because BAER got 2fa they couldn't ransom the account)

#

BAER now has to manually add all friends and servers back...

#

And BAER lost the role here.... Maybe a mod can give BAER's role back sadBAER

obsidian geyser
timid walrus
#

It does

obsidian geyser
#

Some fishing links look too real

timid walrus
#

BAER can't remember who BAER had as friends and which servers

#

Ye, it looked really good, and BAER was too sleepy to double check

#

But BAER also blames discord for not triggering 2fa when either hardware or IP has changed

#

What's the point of 2fa,if you can move the session to another computer?

obsidian geyser
#

That is a good point

#

What does it do? Prevent major setting changes.

#

?

timid walrus
#

It does nothing apparently...

obsidian geyser
#

But should still be able to spam send other links

timid walrus
#

2fa should trigger when someone else logs in on another computer or location by asking for a code from BAER's phone. M.

#

But it doesn't when it just copies a session token

obsidian geyser
#

Yea

timid walrus
#

BAER thinks that's the reason why they removed everything instead of just ransoming the account.

#

They couldn't ransom BAER because BAER set up 2fa,because password change does trigger 2fa

#

At least let BAER's mistake count as a warning to others on discord. Be very wary of links, even those from people. You trust.
Make sure you use 2fa (even though its poorly implemented on discord)
And have an offline list of people and servers to add again if it gets all removed.

In other sad news....
