This tungsten slander is completely uncalled for!

2025-06-25 12:05:13 +0000 UTCDragons can turn into a human-esque shape and can be around folk. In previous editions, they could just turn into humans. Dragonborn are a different race, that is also hatched from dragon eggs, is my understanding. I'm not really a fan! But it explains it. -GB

2025-03-11 20:07:14 +0000 UTCI'm a week behind on this, so not sure if this will reach you, but you mentioned the Emperor and Ansur being romantically involved. As someone new to D&D, I don't really understand dragons and dragonborb. Are all dragons dragonborn? Or is being romantically involved with something hundreds of times bigger than you just a thing in the forgotten realms? The same question came up again for me when meeting kithrak voss and his red dragonborn friend in the sewers. I assumed that was a representation of the dragon he rides, but I could be completely wrong.

2025-03-11 13:46:57 +0000 UTCMy degenerate gamer way of getting past these trials is to put three characters by the door to Ansur then have one character intentionally screw up the lanceboard puzzle and book it out of there. The door to Ansur opens as soon as you fail one of the trials so my well positioned characters can just go in the door and leave the fight. The 4th character takes some damage, but not much. Oh, you've got trials three? Not for me!

2025-03-05 23:24:48 +0000 UTCI wanted to share a couple of silly anecdotes that happened to me in the Ansur quest. First, when duke Ravengard gave me the quest, he told me to to read the book "The Legend of Ansur" to learn about how to find the dragon. Problem is, he forgot to actually give me the book. I ended up having to pickpocket it from him. I love that the flexibility of the game's systems turned that from a game breaking bug into just a moment of silliness. Later in the Ansur fight, I started by successfully casting Planar Binding on one of the Myrmidons to switch it to my side, and won the battle with two turns left of that spell duration. So the post-battle cutscene began, the Emperor started dropping exposition... and then was interrupted after 12 seconds by the Myrmidon becoming hostile again and me having to finish it off. I missed out on most of the cutscene, but hey, that's what youtube is for, right? I got this much goofier story instead.

2025-03-03 21:05:42 +0000 UTCAlso I'm on my ~4th playthrough at this point and I hadn't tried out Globe of Invulnerability until y'all mentioned it. It's pretty good!

2025-03-03 12:45:06 +0000 UTCI'm whatever the opposite of a "Content Piggy" is. I play games as they come, don't care if I miss out on side content, and generally don't replay games even if they're truly exceptional and have branching paths. What I see is what I get. One of my very favourite things about BG3 is just how much completely optional, totally missable content it has, and how confidently Larian *encourages* you to miss it. I'm firmly of the opinion that Larian only expects you to progress through The Underdark OR The Mountain Pass, both in the way these options are presented textually and mechanically to the player and to your character. On my first playthrough I was romancing Wyll but encouraged him into his pact with Mizora rather than having him break it. I didn't save the Duke or Florrick, never went to The Iron Throne nor The Wyrmway, and thus never discovered The Emperor's true history (I also didn't visit Cazador nor Ethel in Act 3, but that's by-the-by). In most games missing this stuff would either be impossible because you are railroaded through it, or missing it would be a disappointment because it would make the game feel lesser or emptier. BG3's greatest trick is that all of this things can be missed or skipped and the game has so much else to offer I didn't even notice I was missing / skipping them.

2025-03-03 12:43:53 +0000 UTCThe stuff you talked about also reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077. In regards to Johnny Silverhand being in your head and the game posing the question on whether or not V is making choices that V would or that Silverhand would. You not realizing that you’re already changes, which is a scary thing.

2025-03-03 10:29:41 +0000 UTCAt the end of Act 2, Withers poses the question whether Mind Flayers has a soul and you can give your opinion but he emphatically says they do not. It definitely is meant to make you be wary of the Emperor, but it’s also interesting to see how it affected my perception of Omeluum too. A Mind Flayer who seems like a cool dude, who wanted to help you with your tadpole and helped rescue the hostages from the Iron Throne. In Act 1 he has a lot of incidental dialogue that hints on his current research of trying to find a way for him to nourish himself without feeding on brains. There are also the hints that he is manipulating his Hobgoblin colleague, and I love that the presents all these things to make you feel unsure about the Emperor, Mind Flayers without being completely definitive about it one way or the other.

2025-03-03 10:20:55 +0000 UTCDuring my fight with Ansur I couldn’t get everyone behind cover in time. I panicked and tried banishing him and to my delight he went and impotently unleashed Stormheart Nova in a different plane.

2025-03-03 07:14:00 +0000 UTCWyll has the arc of a shy kid in a high school drama. However, there's something about a character who has a good heart, and does his best to make good choices, but still ends up in the mud trudging along with everyone else. Not only out of his sense of duty, but his well intentioned choices coming back to bite him in the butt.

2025-03-03 06:23:48 +0000 UTCThe best part about the new show feeds is that I finally get to see the art for this show, been wondering what it looked like for the last 60 odd episodes. Great work!

2025-03-02 21:03:56 +0000 UTCExcited for what comes next! I didn’t even do the Wyrmway til my 2nd run. Encountering Ansur and Raphael’s boss fights for the first time on Tactician was a rough experience. Globe of Invulnerability is so busted though, could be Ansur at lvl 10, though I did die a few times to Ansur.
