I would like a mod where we're able to use Heather's status as a ghoul to demand she performs lesbianly on us as we practice Blush of Life, with some kind of charisma and seduction checks throughout the act that determines how we perform, what we convince her to do, etc. +2 XP.

I'm glad people are able to see through the grogtard LE BEAMDOG BAD narrative. EE is objectively better, Siege of Dragonspear is pretty good (and more fun than Throne of Slog honestly) and if you don't like a character then you are actually permitted to just not take them instead of letting them take space in your brain for years. That's what I do for Jan "holds up turnip XD" Jansen, Minsc, and a few other awful characters.

It’s easy. If it’s a good game and you like it it sold well. If you don’t like it the gamepass sales were all fake.

crpgs always seemed like the one genre of game i would never get into
i only bought bg3 after hearing so many of my friends and everyone else praise it and i liked astarion and expected to drop it after not much time, after 300 hours and it becoming one of my favorite games ever made i decided to check out the other larian game
im about 40 hours into divinity 2 and also fucking loving it
i think i actually like this genre now, but im still a fucking baby when it comes to crpgs

Better writing and overall philosophy. Game devs back then usually had degrees in other things except for the programmers where nowadays there are literal game design classes people can take to be churned out into non-creative cogs that only know how to regurgitate social media bullshit.

There is an underlying current of collectivism over individualism in most modern rpgs and it makes even the least offenders feel inherently off.

No, there are none. There is a belt you can buy from the Storyteller that makes your next spell extended whenever an ally kills an enemy and there is also a mace that does the same thing when you kill an enemy and works with summons, so you can summon some skellies, charge them and then cast Sunform.

I purchased WotR a while back and only getting into it now
getting through the prologue and...
I'll be honest, the only way I am completing this is if Story difficulty is lenient enough to allow AI controlled auto-attacks (real-time) or using a strong main character solo (turn-based)
the clunk and tedium is high
>>
>>547313480
when you get access to haste you can just throw that on the entire party and autoattack with 5 retards no problem
might even be optimal
>>
>>547313480
The character selection outside of Camellia during the prologue definitely doesn't help with maintaining the interest, especially since you're meant to rely on the strong black woman with the modern-sounding VA to do all your tanking. But I recommend pushing through and maybe setting up a mercenary team once you get to the tavern, Act 1 is the best part of WotR and its downhill from there.
>>
>>547309489
I actually read the article and they're right. The niche rangers were meant to fill just doesn't exist in 5e.
You're a bad fighter with a bad spell list and exploration skills that only apply to a part of the game wotc doesn't give a fuck about.
>>
>>547314174
>Act 1 is the best part of WotR
that actually inspires some confidence, I am not looking for complete it, just to get my money's worth of enjoyment

>>547314068
oh, okay, I'll chalk it up to early game pains
and maybe Cavalier charges not being able usable everywhere
>>
>>547311689
nothing is worse than monk, which is some shit they added with katanas after watching a jackie chan movie. ninjas and samurais would be less gay than monk, no one plays monks table top.
>>
>>547314174
>Act 1 is the best part of WotR
imo Act 2 is better, the first time through it felt oppressive and fittingly like you were marching into a dangerous place
Act 1 lacks that sort of oppressive feeling despite Kenabres being besieged by demons
>>
>>547314435
i think 5e ranger is the best iteration yet since they don't require more exp than war, get spells lv2, added some fighting styles. think its good if no one else heals and you just want an odd heal now and then like a paladin - which would make the issue paladins rather than fighters making them redundant
>>
who else is high af right now?
>>
>>547313480
Normal should allow you to just let the AI handle most everything and you just intervene on boss fights.
>>

The future of classes is a freeform adaptive system within the archetype matrix
One axis is martial ability either trained or impromptu
The other is magic ability either arcane or divine. You progress through the matrix from indepentent starting points based on the skills you select and make use of.

dnd remains king because its designed so a couple of guys without a calculator at a table can simulate it

many, if not all, alt systems have useless number and ability bloat

dnd barbarian -> stength and con, you rage once a session
poe barbarian-> int and perception, rage and shout every battle because pressing mandatory buttons is tactical
