    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    The divide between what is artificial and part of natural order of things is kinda arbitrary. They didn't always exist and didn't always rule the world but neither did many other gods, and that didn't make them any less legitimate. Nordic gods weren't even immortal by their own powers, they...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    But that's the problem: there is no reason to hide anything or to run the grand conspiracy. They claim to be gods and have all the power they need to back that up. If someone has a problem with it they can just punish him, or wait for him to die and purge him from the reincarnation cycle. What...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    'God's are not real' is definitely a 'modern day atheist' moment. Whenever God's were once mortal or not would be relevant and worthy of being kept as a secret only if they were claiming to be God in the modern sense, eternal, all-knowing, omnipotent etc. But many gods worshiped before rise of...

    Yeah, what Cat Headed Eagle said, Chanters are bards.

    I get it that it's a stretch to call Cipher a Psion ripoff, but what's the second original class?

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    The entire situation arose only because Sawyer for no good reason decided to slavishly copy classes from DnD 3E instead of coming up with his own classes. It's not hard to refluff it to make it work. If you want a soldier with melee AOE just call him Landsknecht and explain that hitting multiple...

    Grimoire Thread

    Yeah but it uses meme 3D engine instead of a much superior step engine.

    Good gaming channels on Youtube?

    More. But they should post them on Twitter. Modern vidya designers don't play classic games or watch YT but they sure love Musk's dopamine dispenser.

    [Poll] Metahumans

    They should try making all characters metahumans from time to time. I've read a few issues of a french comic series series called simply The Dwarves. Basically the book is about various characters trying to survive and thrive in a dwarven society which can be pretty oppressive in this universe...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    It wouldn't be such a bad idea if they didn't focus so much on mysteries and events that happened before the start of the game. Imagine a detective story. It's wouldn't hurt if creators changed what the criminal does to elude the detective, and for example decided to make him act more violent...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    The other isssue is that you go from the most interesting villain to blandest one. Ketheric is intriguing when you first see him and has some actual depth. Orrin is a psycho, Gortash is just a clown, and the The Netherbrain is just a sci-fi b-movie villain. An evil floating brain who wants to...

    Hogwarts Legacy - Harry Potter open world action RPG prequel set in the late 1800s

    Point taken. Forgot about that garbage. Not really. You can start by making games for retards, and then fuck them up so bad even they can't take it any more. Like Mass Effect or Gears of War.

    Hogwarts Legacy - Harry Potter open world action RPG prequel set in the late 1800s

    This. Harry Potter is popular among people who grew up when the books and movies were being released, many of these grew-up along with the characters. These people are now working, many of them have families and most of them are not hardcore gamers. Hogwar's Legacy was such a stunning success...
