storm jungle
#

its still a shitshow

#

and like, filled with nazis

#

"this game isnt satire"

#

dev in the chat: it is tho

#

"nuh uh shut up liberal"

celest dome
#

Didn't they later get reprimanded or something ?

storm jungle
#

yeah i think so

outer wave
#

"I CANT BELIEVE THE DEVS DONT KNOW THEIR OWN PRODUCT!! I KNOW IT BETTER THAN THOSE SHEEPLE!!!"

queen laurel
celest dome
#

Or was it for something else ?

dusk patrol
#

One got fired

#

He was a discord mod they promoted to CM though so

#

Not sure what they expected

queen laurel
#

Is that the guy that told the player base to down vote the game

winter vessel
#

it is unfortunate. I always just tell em "shut up and let me enjoy my game". because that's what it is, a GAME

queen laurel
#

Or basically bomb rate it

dusk patrol
#

He was literally encouraging people to leave bad reviews if they were so mad which shockingly

#

Arrowhead and Sony didn’t care for

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

What was his name again

#

Forgot

dusk patrol
#

I can’t recall

winter vessel
#

Pilestedt?

green loom
#

He's former lead dev

#

I think

queen laurel
#

It's probably in one of those helldivers drama videos

dusk patrol
#

It was a shit situation but it was also one he probably should have just not talked

dusk patrol
#

He’s mostly pretty agreeable

#

Not always but

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

He’s less stupid

storm jungle
#

because gamers are stupid

shell mason
#

no

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

yes

shell mason
#

your stupid

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

“Looking into it”

dusk patrol
#

“I’ve passed it on to the team”

storm jungle
#

NEVER say a proper statement, your job is being a human shield

winter vessel
#

Unlike Pete Parsons

dusk patrol
#

I appreciate his honesty at least

#

Even if I think balancing wise he and his team are uh….

#

They make interesting choices

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Oh yeah the balance is all over the dang place

green loom
#

Didn't he step down recently

arctic talon
#

They’re bad at the game

queen laurel
#

I don't play the game but

arctic talon
#

They absolutely are bad at the game

queen laurel
#

The screaming community is enough for me to understand

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

There is 0 chance they actually play the game at high difficulties lol

dusk patrol
queen laurel
shell mason
#

Wouldn't really call ya'll strict

dusk patrol
#

But now I’m convinced they’re jsut kinda dumb

queen laurel
#

I heard it's basically unplayable

dusk patrol
#

And way in over their heads

storm jungle
arctic talon
fallen plaza
winter vessel
tough haven
#

Think that will be good?

arctic talon
#

The second part is a bug

#

But uh

#

Lol

#

Lmao

winter vessel
#

But it do got me…thinking.

arctic talon
#

They nerfed the only way to deal with them

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Before they fixed the spawn rate

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

So it’s kind of just miserable rn

shell mason
queen laurel
#

And fucked

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

You can still do high difficulty but like

outer wave
#

HD2 difficulty of spamming out enemies that can only be dealt with using armor piercing weapons and only a couple weapons are good sounds so infuriating

tough haven
queen laurel
storm jungle
tough haven
#

and I cant pirate it easily so eh

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Oof

winter vessel
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Playing as a drow and murdering those goblin children in BG3 was great

arctic talon
#

They’re very throwable

#

And burnable

shell mason
arctic talon
#

Unlike tiefling children who are mildly fireproof

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Tiefling children are just longer lasting kindling

shell mason
queen laurel
#

Taste funny though

tough haven
arctic talon
#

They don’t scream as loudly when they die to fire effects either lol

shell mason
arctic talon
#

They must have actually set the goblin child’s voice actor on fire

queen laurel
arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Duh

#

Come on man

fallen plaza
#

Zased

arctic talon
#

The child getting shot in pariah nexus

queen laurel
#

Keep up with the lads

arctic talon
#

Same difference smh

fallen plaza
#

So fvucking,,, zased

shell mason
#

I'm not a nerd

storm jungle
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

The optimal way to handle a fight in the camp is to kill the goblin kids anyways lol

winter vessel
shell mason
#

So I don't play baldurs gate

queen laurel
#

So deal with it

arctic talon
#

Since they can aggro the rest of the camp

wraith quartz
#

So in a short summary of Humanity's history, (From the Space Age to the Current Age). Humanity seems to have a natural tendency to be on the brink of Extinction. Do you believe it still has a chance they can survive further on?

arctic talon
#

I will absolutely incinerate the child

arctic talon
#

In some form or another

wraith quartz
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Because

#

Chaos

fallen plaza
queen laurel
#

How much would you pay to see that

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

I did kinda feel bad about the goblin kids….

#

…..until I realized how funny it is to punt them into the gorge…

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

Sentenced to death

queen laurel
#

You wanted to kill them

arctic talon
#

I felt bad for them as well

#

Ngl

#

Especially the one who’s parents were dead

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

But that’s also the really racist kid lol

dusk patrol
#

And I got the good ending

#

I just snuck around

arctic talon
#

I didn’t kill the goblin kids in the court yard

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Halsin kind of just

dusk patrol
#

I was a pussy but I felt bad

arctic talon
#

Mauled those kids to death

#

Ngl

queen laurel
#

Just being a bastard doesn't appeal to me

arctic talon
#

I don’t really blame like

queen laurel
#

Maybe because i do like killing people that are bad

arctic talon
#

Halsin for mauling those kids to death

queen laurel
#

Murder by kindness is a good way to not get killed by the authorities

#

And therefore i can kill more bad people

dusk patrol
#

I wish I could kill Halsin and get the good ending still

queen laurel
#

For being good

dusk patrol
#

Worthless bear fucker

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

The more good i am the more bad people i can kill

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

And statistically since there are more bad people than good people

#

It's a never ending cycle of slaughter

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Oh

#

Fair

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

You kinda want to save that part of the map

dusk patrol
#

Also I did feel a bit bad about convincing the Drider to leave the lantern behind and walk into the shadows

arctic talon
#

ngl

dusk patrol
#

But he was also a dumbass so

tough haven
arctic talon
#

the drider I felt bad for

queen laurel
#

The guy looks more deranged than

arctic talon
#

he's a drider

queen laurel
#

A f****** goblin child

arctic talon
#

that kind of happens

queen laurel
#

Just letting him die was probably for the best

#

If not kill him with your weapons

arctic talon
#

Lolth really does not like Driders

dusk patrol
#

You don’t hear a lot of drider stories which end with “and then the drider had a happy life”

arctic talon
#

It was a beautiful webbing

fallen plaza
#

True

#

I get what you guys mean

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

He was a certified nutter though

queen laurel
#

I forgot what the race is called

#

Uh Drow

#

They have a god that encourages being a good guy right

shell mason
#

welp

arctic talon
#

aka not Lolth

shell mason
#

today is a rest day

dusk patrol
#

Anyone who worships Sharr is a huge dumbass I don’t get how she even has that big temple

arctic talon
#

Lolth is a chaotic evil psycho demon

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

We all lose something you

#

Love

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Your money

dusk patrol
#

Like legit she just

arctic talon
#

or they just fucking lobotomize you

queen laurel
#

Your family

dusk patrol
#

Always betrays you

arctic talon
#

Shar is

queen laurel
#

Good amount of stuff

arctic talon
#

horrid lol

#

they want to end all of existance

dusk patrol
#

Literally nothing redeeming

arctic talon
#

the God

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

The followers don't get told that

queen laurel
#

To get them into that stupid thing

arctic talon
#

along with wanting to destroy the universe

#

Shar is like

storm jungle
#

man i really should play BG3

arctic talon
#

the angsty teenager who writes edgy poetry and fantasizes about killing people and actually does kill people

#

while their sister is like

#

a sucessful person in life

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

no i never touched it

#

too much shit in it

#

my brain is slow

shell mason
#

Mood

storm jungle
#

LOL

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

BG3 is fucking dense lol

celest dome
#

Shar is like Morathi, you don't understand why she's part of the 'not utterly evil god'

queen laurel
#

You know what

queen laurel
#

I respect it

arctic talon
#

Shadowheart tries so hard to be a Sharran but she's like

#

lol

arctic talon
#

she's way too nice

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

even after she goes full blown Dark Justiciar

queen laurel
#

Don't listen to him he needs it

arctic talon
#

shes going to get lobotomized by the mirror again

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Gale is

#

odd

storm jungle
#

literally fucking Generic McGee

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Gale feels like a creep id turn down in a cafe

arctic talon
#

I find him endearing

dusk patrol
#

He did rizz a god of magic somehow

queen laurel
#

Wyll

celest dome
#

People are nerds and Gale is a nerd too

queen laurel
#

Wyll

arctic talon
#

Wyll is generic

shell mason
#

Real

dusk patrol
#

Now Wyll

#

Wyll can actually die

storm jungle
#

where theres a Wyll, theres a woodchipper

arctic talon
#

Wyll suffers from curse of last minute rewrites

#

there's like actually some vaguely intresting stuff about him

celest dome
#

Pre rewrite Wyll was worse

arctic talon
#

but its never fucking developed

queen laurel
#

Yeah but like calling him the most generic

storm jungle
#

i do like Minthara too, totally not because Anna Gregori has voiced like half the 40k books i listen to lol

shell mason
#

my intestine has reached ego death

arctic talon
#

Minthara is fun

queen laurel
#

Gale is a good chunk at least above wyll

arctic talon
#

she's fun even if you're not evil

storm jungle
#

shes such a meme-lord

arctic talon
#

just more complicated to get

storm jungle
#

"We can use the kids for slave labor"

arctic talon
#

She's objectively a terrible person lol

storm jungle
#

BASED

arctic talon
#

if you romance her

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

you literally end up as a warlord in the Underdark

#

and enslave a bunch of people

#

lol

queen laurel
#

And then save her

arctic talon
#

oh did they actually make it simpler

queen laurel
#

Well trying to keep her rather drow etcentrics

arctic talon
#

it used to be you had to temp aggro her lol

queen laurel
#

In check is fun

dusk patrol
#

I just always romance Karlach because I’m a heterosexual man ngl

storm jungle
#

bruh

arctic talon
#

hey Soldier

storm jungle
#

bro legit admitted his kink infront of the class

dusk patrol
#

Kinda hard to argue with that

arctic talon
#

Karlach is hot both literally and figuratively

dusk patrol
#

That’s right, I have a hot naked woman fetish

queen laurel
#

I just like Karlach because she is a woman that knows what she wants

dusk patrol
#

I’ll admit to it

queen laurel
#

Yes i said the joke crucify me

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

Women are confusing whatever

arctic talon
#

guh

storm jungle
#

augh

dusk patrol
celest dome
#

I like Karlach cause I like women that could kill me, simple as

storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

fair to both parties

arctic talon
#

Lae'zel romance is funny in that your character looks like you literally get beaten half to death

arctic talon
#

before she like

#

loves you

#

its even funnier as a caster

dusk patrol
#

She’s fun, she’s actually useful, she knows what she wants, she’s fucking hot literally and physically

arctic talon
#

since she just obliterates you in one turn of melee

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Shadow heart is way too much baggage ugh

storm jungle
#

"way too much baggage"

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

me when dealing with people IRL

arctic talon
#

and then it gets worse after her fight with you

dusk patrol
#

(I romanced her first play though and it’s very sweet)

arctic talon
#

where she literally beats you half to death to show her love for you

#

Lae'zels romance is great

celest dome
#

If Alfira was not in a couple I'd love to have her as a romaneable character

storm jungle
#

Lae'zel seems cute

#

minus the uh

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Lae'zel is like

storm jungle
#

michael jackson coke-nose

queen laurel
#

Because you can truly fix her you

arctic talon
#

the least racist Gith

dusk patrol
#

Shadow heart I’ll say is legit

#

Probably the best narrative romance

spring cairn
dusk patrol
#

She’s the writers pet holy shit

arctic talon
#

Shadowheart and Lae'zel have the most added to their characters with the romance

celest dome
#

I'd would have said Astarion

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Astarion you kind of can't influence specifically

#

ngl

queen laurel
#

You gave them reasons to believe that the beliefs that they are been given are you know not the best

arctic talon
#

beyond the like usual stuff

arctic talon
#

oh also it becomes super creepy if you let him ascend lol

#

like in a

dusk patrol
#

Astarions is good but it also is basically the same if you don’t romance him

arctic talon
#

^

#

Astarion you get the exact same content regardless

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

Lae'zel and Shadowheart both have some large changes occur lol

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Shadow hearts whole choice with the one angel lady is super different if you romance her

queen laurel
#

Good

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Iirc you don’t even have to convince her

arctic talon
#

you don't need to convice Shart to shank Aylin

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

in general if you have enough approval

queen laurel
arctic talon
#
  • she has a hidden background system
#

for it lol

#

Shadowheart arguably has the most complicated fucking stuff lol

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Shadowheart really is “baggage” the character

dusk patrol
#

And she doesn’t even know it

arctic talon
#

Wyll gets some cute stuff if you romance him

queen laurel
#

Only the exception being astarion

arctic talon
#

but thats about it

#

Gale uh

dusk patrol
#

Bah fuck Wyll

#

Not literally

arctic talon
#

Gale is fucking weird

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

I always bang his sponsor lady

arctic talon
#

LOL

dusk patrol
#

Just to stunt on him

storm jungle
#

you can tell she just

#

didnt wanna add him in

#

LOL

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Astarion is

#

idk

dusk patrol
#

Fucking his boss cause I can

celest dome
#

Half of the Gale romance is him just talking about his ex

arctic talon
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

just like real life

arctic talon
#

LOL

queen laurel
#

Yeah we can stay as friends but if you become a god i will kill you myself

storm jungle
#

dab

dusk patrol
#

Yeah you’re definitely the rebound for Gale

#

And not in a good way

queen laurel
#

The only reason i save him is because if he becomes a god he becomes this ego maniac

arctic talon
#

if he ascends as a god

#

and you uh

queen laurel
#

That you just want to punch

arctic talon
#

still romance him

#

it gets weird lol

queen laurel
#

Okay i'm shagging a god

#

Now what

arctic talon
#

you become his chosen or he says "Am I still not good enough for you fuck off"

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

I mean tbf

queen laurel
#

Watching them suffer and becoming even more worse it's not a good idea

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

If you’re fucking a god I feel like becoming thier chosen is basically like being their bf

#

Or whatever

arctic talon
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

because like

celest dome
arctic talon
#

you lose out on so much content lol

dusk patrol
#

Basically the god equivalent of “wanna move in?”

arctic talon
#

objectively speaking

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

The only good thing about Shadowheart becoming a full blown Sharran is that she's "one of the good ones" 💀

fallen plaza
queen laurel
spring cairn
#

this how you'll look if you smoke kids

celest dome
#

What do you mean 'people'

arctic talon
#

which means she's going to get fucking backstabbed

queen laurel
#

At bare minimum I'm chaotic neutral

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

most of the BG3 party is like neutral to good

#

except for Minthara

#

lol

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

something-something oppenheimer style

arctic talon
#

Minthara is like objectively Lawful Evil

fallen plaza
#

I am a people dammit!

queen laurel
#

And it's just a straight up sex slave

celest dome
#

Could be worse, could be steam/forum peoples 💀

arctic talon
#

💀

celest dome
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

too bad

queen laurel
#

So think

queen laurel
fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

I don't get why people think The Emperor is like nice

celest dome
arctic talon
#

he's like a piece of shit objectively lol

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

he literally gives Stelmane a stroke and was using her as a meat puppet

#

lol

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Option b it is blow up the planet

arctic talon
#

oh

#

different game

#

smh

#

I'm talking about baldurs gate 💀

#

but also the emperor is a piece of shit in 40k

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

Unlike sigmar

queen laurel
#

Because apparently he thinks of himself as cured

#

Of his mortal affliction

shell mason
#

ok

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

The important thing to take away from this is, fuck the Voodoo Boys

arctic talon
#

lol

dusk patrol
#

They’re not even the Voodoo Boys

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

They’re the Voodoo People

#

They have a bunch of girls

#

Dumbasses

arctic talon
#

real

queen laurel
#

But next play through i'm going to have the sacrifice Orpheus

#

I am tired of sacrificing myself for the greater good

arctic talon
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

ngl killing him is probably the best option regardless

#

realistically the Githyanki need to start fresh

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

their whole civlization is fucked

storm jungle
#

then you get proven right

#

and he says nothing

#

fucking useless jackass

arctic talon
#

💀

#

like

storm jungle
#

because hes a dumbass

arctic talon
#

well obviously

spring cairn
#

are they trustworthy

arctic talon
#

no

#

LOL

storm jungle
#

no

arctic talon
#

they literally kill you

spring cairn
#

they annoyed me i killed them all

arctic talon
#

they literally fry your brain

storm jungle
#

also use you as a trojan horse

arctic talon
#

if you side with them

dusk patrol
#

Johnny thinking that one chick he banged a few times still was obsessed with him decades later as an AI is hilarious

queen laurel
#

This guy is fun

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

Also that Arasaka went after her cause him

#

And not cause she was you know

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

A threat

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

she literally made a super weapon

#

lol

storm jungle
#

i remember playing his flashbacks and thinking any "nice" action i do feels out of character

#

lol

arctic talon
#

so yes

dusk patrol
#

Johnny Bumbled fucked his way into being friends and around actually super important people

arctic talon
#

Yurgir is pretty nice

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Then thought he was the reason Arasaka cared about it all

queen laurel
#

Infinite invisibility is funny

arctic talon
#

Yurgir if anything is on the weaker side for an Orthon

dusk patrol
#

He was also basically just a test dummy for the Soulkiller

storm jungle
#

Pretty much, i got zero sympathy for him overall lol

spring cairn
#

at least the nuclear bomb stunt was p badass

dusk patrol
#

He didn’t even do that iirc

arctic talon
#

he didn't yeah

spring cairn
#

he wa there

arctic talon
#

yes

#

I suppose he was

dusk patrol
#

He was just the muscle

arctic talon
#

his primary goal that night was to sabotage soul killer

spring cairn
#

yeah but that's still an active part of it

arctic talon
#

with the rest of his group

#

except he wasn't even the most important person in that group

dusk patrol
#

He’s basically the side character to a bunch of actually badass people and he thinks he was the main character the whole time

spring cairn
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

Shaitan and Spider murphy were more important that night

spring cairn
#

that's literally the rockstar syndrome

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Spider because she was the only netrunner

#

and Shaitan because he was insurance incase smasher showed up

dusk patrol
#

He wasn’t even an optional companion

arctic talon
#

and what do you know smasher showed up LOL

dusk patrol
#

He was a side character who dies off screen

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

if you play that module hes dead as a warmup for Smasher showing up

#

you don't interact with him at all

spring cairn
#

imagine dying to smasher

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

spring cairn
#

i gave him an aneurysm and he canned it instantly

arctic talon
#

and then Shaitan starts fighting smasher and you're supposed to run and actually do your job

#

lol

spring cairn
#

my fav weapon in cyberpunk was in the dlc and it's a shame you get it only at the very end

#

it's the AI boosted smg that literally fry ppl alive

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

oh the blackwall stuff

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Or is he basically the cream of the crop

spring cairn
#

and they just scream in pain as all of their implants burn

arctic talon
#

and he still got his fucking ass beaten lol

#

the logic was Shaitan is fullborg, very competent and hard to kill

#

therfore he should fight smasher if smasher shows up

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Shaitan gets his arm ripped off and thrown out a fucking window

spring cairn
#

skill issue

arctic talon
#

he lives though lol

spring cairn
#

when will they understand that netrunner is the best build smh

queen laurel
#

Basically if i want to become someone like smasher i need to develop his mentality

#

Which is not a good idea

arctic talon
#

if you approach the module from the other direction

#

you get to also meet Shaitan after he gets chucked out the window

#

since he's busy killing Arasaka security in the main lobby

arctic talon
#

his humanity stat is literally listed as "-" because it doesn't fucking exist

#

he isn't human

queen laurel
#

Like having a very healthy mental states so you can handle the machinery

arctic talon
#

Shaitan is about as close as it gets lol

#

and Shaitan is still a psycopath

spring cairn
#

they all go crazy eventually

arctic talon
#

he just hates Arasaka

#

a lot

#

so he's ended up more sane then smasher who just hates humanity

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

no

#

thats like fine

#

if its just those 3 things

#

but what about eye replacments, skeletal enhancments

#

ect.

queen laurel
#

All of it then

snow fern
#

You have to be really chromed up to go cyberpsycho

spring cairn
#

mf is built like a hd2 devastator

arctic talon
#

yeah if you go chrome junky your humanity stats gona be low

#

but you haven't gone full borg yet

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

that isn't smashers head btw

snow fern
#

The psycho in the start of the edgerunners

arctic talon
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

you have negative charisma

#

lol

#

with low humanity

queen laurel
#

Damn

arctic talon
#

people actively don't want to interact with you

queen laurel
#

Just like me for real for real

snow fern
#

You're twitchy and people treat you like a rabid dog off the chain

arctic talon
#

💀

#

^

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

but smasher is arguably still alive in 2077 even after you "kill" him

spring cairn
#

smasher don't care he maxxed out so much he can pulp anyone standing in front of him

snow fern
#

Maybe for VtM fans it's like being Nos

arctic talon
#

since his torso is intact lol

#

Smasher wasn't sane in the first place

#

so it really doesn't matter

snow fern
#

Smasher was a psychopath before he sold himself to Arasaka

arctic talon
#

its also fine in a Cyberpunk Red or 2020 party if you have someone go full borg

tough haven
#

Cyberpunk characters complain about going crazy after implanting too much, where tech priests just don’t worry cause they were differing flavors and levels of crazy to begin with

arctic talon
#

just don't let them do the talking

#

at all

spring cairn
#

i mean he has to die if you fry his brain

arctic talon
#

in fact don't let them interact with humans

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

that isn't his fucking head

spring cairn
#

where is it then

tough haven
queen laurel
#

They think that joining with machinery is based

snow fern
#

He was on death's door and said I would rather die than go without inflicting civilian casualties

So they don't have problems with it

tough haven
#

Granted they’re surprisingly stable most of the time, if inept

spring cairn
#

if his head is in his chest it doesn't matter

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

another netrunner build w

arctic talon
#

ngl

snow fern
#

Netrunners in tabletop I don't think are nearly as overpowered

tough haven
arctic talon
#

they're more overpowered

queen laurel
#

Wait wolf isn't lucy a net runner

arctic talon
#

but also 10x more complicated

#

lol

queen laurel
#

And when he tried to do that s*** with smash

arctic talon
#

you can literally kill yourself by accident

queen laurel
#

He just reflected it

arctic talon
#

yes

snow fern
#

But yah you want a netrunner to actually have a chance to beat Smasher

#

Borgs ICE can only go so far

spring cairn
arctic talon
#

either way Smasher was also effected by like

#

Alt's attack as well

#

ngl

winter vessel
#

I did a sword tech pistol build with a sandevistan

arctic talon
#

I mean its more so if you try frying someone with too much ice

#

you'll just overheat and fucking die

dusk patrol
#

That’s why he hit Ctrl Delete

arctic talon
#

because your squishy body can't handle it

queen laurel
#

Is the strongest type of melee weapon in cyberpunk vibro weapons

#

You know like vibroblades

arctic talon
#

I want full borg conversions in the next cyberpunk video game

#

I'm so dissapointed by the lack of full borgs

#

in 2077

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

there's more in FUCKING RED

#

and RED is like

#

the least militarized period in Cyberpunk lore

#

Arasaka security should have plenty of full borgs

spring cairn
#

that's another problem with the video game

#

they didn't go far enough

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

in the degenerate body desecration aspect

queen laurel
#

It seems like a fun read

snow fern
#

Aren't there like cyber furries as well? That'd be neat

spring cairn
#

there's anything you can think about

snow fern
#

Maelstrom looks like it would have like more people that look literally like Junkyard dogs

arctic talon
#

looks like this

winter vessel
spring cairn
#

it's a completely degenerated late stage capitalism dystopia

#

and cdporjeckt red didn't do it justice imo

arctic talon
#

such a shame we don't get to see the Trauma Team fullborg conversion

#

oh yeah fun fact

#

Trauma team has fullborgs

#

at least in Red

snow fern
#

That sounds terrifying

winter vessel
#

I like the military aspect of Cyberpunk, like, it can still be attainable

arctic talon
#

its the least impactful full borg kit

#

but also like

spring cairn
#

i hope they take their foot off the brake for their next game

arctic talon
#

its still a fucking total cyborg

spring cairn
#

go full throttle

arctic talon
#

thats near bulletproof

snow fern
arctic talon
#

it looks like a basic suit

snow fern
#

RIP HiFI 2

arctic talon
#

but there's nothing really human under it anymore

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

except for like

#

the organs I guess

#

its only a humanity loss of 39

arctic talon
#

which isn't too bad

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

then again there's lower humanity loss conversions

snow fern
#

I imagine lacking basic senses like Touch or smell would be insanity inducing enough

arctic talon
#

but like they aren't meant for combat

spring cairn
#

there's literally little to no body trashing in a cyberpunk game

arctic talon
#

or any actual like

#

thing

spring cairn
#

things should get fucked up

arctic talon
#

The Gemini conversion kit is like

#

14 humanity loss?

spring cairn
#

instead you can just get heart in ur eyes or something

winter vessel
arctic talon
#

but its mostly for people who are paranoid about dying

#

and want to still look hot

#

so like it worthless for any actual combat situation for how much it costs

snow fern
#

Sounds like a post modern version of those people who do too much botox

arctic talon
#

yeah pretty much

spring cairn
#

that's the entire universe basically

#

too much botox syndrome

arctic talon
#

also the netrunner Full conversion is funny

#

bros got a smiley face

#

look at him

snow fern
#

vibe

arctic talon
#

only a humanity loss of like

#

50?

spring cairn
#

the smiley face carries

#

that's where all the humanity is

arctic talon
#

the militech suits all are like

#

60+ humanity loss lol

#

mostly since militech == murder

snow fern
#

A fancy computer in your head that nullifies your empathy and tells you to murder in your sleep

arctic talon
#

there's a militech full borg conversion with 4 arms

#

or I guess 2

#

but you can get extra arms for more humanity cost

winter vessel
#

I just wish I could look more like A Solo who was ex-military, clothing options were rubbish

arctic talon
#

Militech Spyder

#

60 humanity loss baseline

#

10 more for each extra arm

celest dome
#

cute

arctic talon
#

its focused on stealth

snow fern
#

That hazardous environment robot in Phantom Liberty was them diping their toe in the water

dusk patrol
#

What’s the most humanity loss

#

For the borgs

snow fern
#

Probably a everything but the brain like Smasher

arctic talon
#

for buyable in game

#

baseline is Militech Eclipse

#

since its a straight 67 hit without any of the additional addons

snow fern
#

I need more friends to do TTRPG stuff with

arctic talon
#

Spyder is more potentially

#

if you go for all 4 arms

#
  • additional stuff
#

Militech Dragoon is the most humanity cost baseline at around 80 I think? Excluding additional integrated stuff

#

but your GM probably won't let you buy it lol

#

since its military grade hardware + it trivalizes any combat

#

its like bringing a fucking tank to a gang war

celest dome
#

Could have one organised here, but I don't know how to run a cyperpunk one

dusk patrol
#

But

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

But I want it

arctic talon
#

half their body at least is machine

#

but yeah the lack of full borgs in 2077 is dissapointing

dusk patrol
#

140 humanity loss

arctic talon
#

its like literally one of my least favorite parts about the games depiction of Cyberpunk

arctic talon
celest dome
arctic talon
#

biological enhancments cost humanity as well

#

Biotech is illegal though

#

but who cares

#

you're a criminal anyways

celest dome
#

Only in Night City no N?

arctic talon
#

in the NUSA as a whole its illegal

#

its legal in europe and asia

dusk patrol
#

Humanity? What’s that?

fallen plaza
#

Sexy metal man

arctic talon
#

also smasher is lowkey more imposing in Red then he is in 2077

#

since he looks like just a guy in armor

tough haven
arctic talon
#

its more fun when you see just some normal looking dude

#

tear through a fucking metal door

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Loss

#

I think its a shame there's a general lack of Arasaka full borg conversions in Red

#

but at least it makes sense

#

they literally just got nuked a few years ago

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Fucking 0 humanity left lol

tough haven
#

Not counting full conversion since there are few tech priests with just brain left

tough haven
arctic talon
green loom
#

Oh

arctic talon
#

It happens from the years 2023 to 2040

arctic talon
#

Ect.

celest dome
#

Wasn't there something to go in negative humanity ?

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

It’s in red

#

It just makes you even worse at being a party face/mentally stable

#

In 2020 you just died

snow fern
#

Who knew military grade combat steroids being pumped into your blood with emotion inhibitors make one a little dangerous

#

How do we keep bringing up cyberpunk in here btw, not that I'm complaining, just something interesting I noticed

arctic talon
#

because its cool

#

and we go on a tangent constantly whenever anything related to it is posted

celest dome
#

We go on many tangent tbf

snow fern
#

I love tangents

celest dome
#

least favourite geometry feature

snow fern
#

Yah 2077 didn't go really hard on the dehumanizing factor of Cyberpunk

arctic talon
#

one of my favorite Cyberpunk Red characters was a fullborg Netrunner who swore he was "normal"

#

(he was not)

#

he also died

#

but thats besides the point

snow fern
#

No happy endings in Night City

arctic talon
#

was pretty fun to RP as someone whos clearly not right in the head due to the full body conversion

#

but it also got kind of tiring after a while

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

but good for me he died before it got to the point where I didn't want to play him anymore

dusk patrol
dusk patrol
tough haven
arctic talon
#

He got blown in half by a some massive fucking laser weapon but he didn't die until like

arctic talon
dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

5 turns after it happened

#

because full borgs are "fair" and "balanced"

dusk patrol
#

But it turns out narratively you do a lot of the same stuff

#

Over and over

arctic talon
#

its funny in that if you go full borg as a netrunner you're arguably way more durable then a non fullborg Solo

dusk patrol
#

And don’t have a lot of interesting responses

tough haven
arctic talon
#

since you can face check a missile but they can't

snow fern
#

Turn the ICBM into a pacifist, just Netrunner things

dusk patrol
#

Their rank can vary wildly

#

Also sometimes they’re just attached to a rogue trader or whatever

#

It’s basically just being a part of a Forgeworld ecosystem but it’s a fleet

arctic talon
#

playing a full borg netrunner is fun because you can physically intimidate people + threaten to like do horrific things to their implants

#

So I got to do interrogations

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

because I was a giant scary cyborg with like 11 humanity left over

arctic talon
#

but beyond that there's no big rule

celest dome
#

Explorator Fleet have many ranked people in it

arctic talon
#

Oh also fun fact Taiwan conquered China in cyberpunk

#

I’m not sure why they wrote that but it’s funny

celest dome
#

Prophecious lore

arctic talon
#

It’s why Kang Tao is labeled as a Chinese corporation in RED and 2077

tough haven
arctic talon
#

That would work fine

#

Make them a magos or Archmagos

celest dome
#

Or even just a Tech priest that work on an Exploratory fleet

arctic talon
#

Yeah that also works great

dusk patrol
opaque coyote

I love how the Orks are confused over the concept of roads.

Specifically why HUMIES don't just like

Drive in whatever terrain they're in

tough haven
arctic talon
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Somehow

arctic talon
#

Anytime anywhere

arctic talon
#

Sorry Neo Sovietism

opaque coyote
#

But also God damn even the soviets can't escape corpos

arctic talon
#

It’s also one of the less awful places to live in terms of like

arctic talon
#

Healthcare

#

It just sucks for a lot of other reasons lol

dusk patrol
#

Everyone speaks Russian for one

#

Ugh

#

Disgusting

opaque coyote
#

Somehow

arctic talon
#

Yes

dusk patrol
#

Hey they have great healthcare

#

If you can afford it

arctic talon
#

in Cyberpunk you get shit healthcare even if you can afford it

dusk patrol
#

Trauma Team is borderline supernatural with what they can do

arctic talon
#

unless you can afford Trauma team coverage™️

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

And their response time

arctic talon
#

no they absolutely are fucking super natural

#

lol

#

There's no way they can realistically have those response times

dusk patrol
#

Trauma Team has like a 30 second guarantee for platinum members

opaque coyote
#

Of course uh

#

David made sure any kind of healthcare

dusk patrol
#

They have some limits

opaque coyote
#

will not apply

#

Good riddance

dusk patrol
#

Hey they don’t guaranteed you’ll survive

opaque coyote
#

Tbh I think my main criticism with Edgerunners is that

They didn't have an episode where everything goes normally yk

dusk patrol
#

Just that they’ll do their best

opaque coyote
#

I mean I would like an episode where the crew goes through a successful long gig

#

Not only would it be fun

dusk patrol
#

Trauma Teams story is pretty depressing too, it used to be a lot more moral and about helping people

opaque coyote
#

But it'd also be a reference point of how shit everything is when the downfall happens

dusk patrol
#

But the founders and members because super jaded overtime

#

And multiple wars

opaque coyote
#

And that the world runs on it

dusk patrol
#

Not even

opaque coyote
#

Especially with Cyberpunk

dusk patrol
#

They jsut didn’t care anymore

tough haven
#

As a healthcare professional it’s already an industry run by corporations

dusk patrol
#

They kept seeing the worst of humanity

opaque coyote
tough haven
#

You just try to change it as much as you can within it

opaque coyote
#

Scav moment

dusk patrol
#

There’s a comic with a trauma team dude who joins from the military to make a difference

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

And he becomes jaded and uncaring by the end

arctic talon
#

no trauma team full borg

#

in 2077

#

0/10

opaque coyote
#

In the 2020's they were a legitimate police force and publically funded

#

Now they've recently became a corporation themselves

dusk patrol
#

I can’t imagine you can’t lose your humanity if you’re landing trying to save someone from dying and that’s it and people keep trying to murder you

opaque coyote
#

Yeah the NCPD is technically a corporation in 2077

dusk patrol
#

Hence why they act that way in the game and show

opaque coyote
#

Sometimes literally unfortunately

dusk patrol
#

If you don’t shoot first and tell everyone to fuck off or die then you’re gonna die fast

arctic talon
#

the fact you have to waste your breath saving some piece of shit as well

#

can't help

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

ngl

opaque coyote
#

Despite you literally saving the girl they tell you to back away

arctic talon
#

those guys were like

#

pretty alright

dusk patrol
#

They’re often racing into attempted corporate assignations

opaque coyote
#

Who only did it for the money

dusk patrol
#

Which can be a bit lethal

opaque coyote
#

Which tbf

#

You probably did

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

they don't even shoot at you lol

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

they just tase you if you get too close

opaque coyote
#

They just harshly tell you to back away

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

on the scale of trauma team thats like

opaque coyote
#

I mean most people have cyberware

arctic talon
#

very nice]

opaque coyote
#

You probably have a second heart

#

You're fine

arctic talon
#

Eating a few bullets won’t kill the average person

#

Tbh

opaque coyote
#

Also uh
