I ended up using corpsegrinder because the life stealing sword was way too conditional and the enemies always won saving throws whenever I'd use shield bash the entire game. Had to use a warhammer to actually hit anything. Don't remember ever seeing those gloves when I looted his throne stash. Though bugs like that are not unheard of for this game.
Yeah I am playing both BG3 and WotR right now and I have to agree. The latter has been painful and I find many of the enemies are over-tuned and the item distribution unbalanced . So far BG3 itself is easy but fun. Dialogue options are ok but I haven't gone too far. Do appreciate that I get special options depending on my class, that's pretty neat. Funny being a little under gnome running around with biggers, be funnier when I start spawning undead 3x my height.
To be fair to Baldur's Gate 3 at least the devs didn't overpromise with their endings. Plus, if you make the rights choices at the end you can get a happy ending for your character which is more than you can say for your character in Mass Effect 3. Also, at least there is a little more variety with the Baldur's Gate 3 ending instead of just picking a different color.
There's a mod that turns true strike and blade ward into a bonus action. So that's nice. I usually cycle between each because blade ward get's a 2 turn duration with the mod.
I have a few very rare items equipped that boost crit rate and it explicitly states this effect can stack. Had better luck just chugging potions and coating weapons in poison to land all of my crits. Which do stack with the gear bonus btw. "
I became a 3 MNK/12 Warlock since I modded the level cap to 15, and by that I mean that the total XP from the entire campaign was only enough for that. And Monk gear is so scant I'm now an alcoholic that starts spewing electricity everywhere (since electric charges are the ONLY thing that buffs every attack, not just melee)
in mass effect's defense it was shepard's story, not yours, and any story needs to end at some point (hopefully before it turns to complete shit, which happens when it runs too long..)
That or the romances were made by horny women. You have to understand that women today are so coom brained that they do not understand things like platonic friendships. It has been that way since I was in high school. Whenever a girl zonked out of her mind on Yaoi and Yuri fiction would see two people of the same sex, often males, being kind and friendly with each other, the first thing that comes to their mind is; "OMG! They are so in love! They so want to butt fuck each other! *Squeal*"
It's like the devs are autistic incels that think being nice to someone means you want to fuck them, and then put the "let's fuck" button on literally page 1 of their fucking chat dialogue, sometimes as option one. Or option 4, which is the default option when skipping dialogue, so one moment you're listening to some literal manchild of a vampire bitch about you being too nice, and the second you're either fucking them or killing them while pressing skip. There's no inbetween.
GOTY is not GOAT, nowhere close. You can get GOTY just by being less bad then all the other AA/AAA games released that year. If you go by PC games only it's reasonably likely.
Honestly, not really. It is a good game but being rated higher then Baldur's Gate 1 and 2? No way. While I would like to see a CRPG win GOTY, I honestly don't think it will. Tears of the Kingdom will probably get it. If not Nintendo Todd Howard will probably get another GOTY under his belt. Larian did a lot to build up hype and fanfare for this game but they fail to estimate the hype and fanbase that Bethesda has when it comes to their titles. Which is why I say Baldur's Gate 3 will be forgotten next month when Starfield comes out. Starfield will have a more dedicated fanbase and modding community behind it which will help Starfield in terms of replayablity.
Ackshully, in middle ages, people did hold big swords like that. That part was dulled or leathered
quick reminder that dragon age inquisition won GOTY.
