Transvestites excel at fighting with weapons that use the hammer skill. They should wear high heels at all times for extra speed; if they don't, they will be slow and have a hard time overall. Also, the attire charm technique may be used to turn any adjacent human or humanoid monster (except uniques, quest nemeses and shopkeepers, but including things like gnomes or orcs) into pets. The transvestite starts with a saddle and has increased chances of successfully mounting a steed.

me3 had the tightest shooting of the three and was mechanically fun, although the jesus figure Shepard stuff got weird and the dialogue wheel corresponded less to the actual dialogue less than ever.

the av club brought up a good point about bioware morality systems: no paragon decisions in these games actually pan-out into bad outcomes. for example, stuff like freeing the rachni queen in me1 was kinda foolish and you're told as such with the risk of reviving and unleashing a previously hostile species that nearly brought an end to galactic civilization. in me3, that decision appears as war assets and there was really no liability in taking the idealistic path all along. the cons against the paragon options are really just empty threats that do nothing but justify the rationale behind choosing renegade options.

Takahashi says that, while Xenoblade Chronicles was a traditional RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X is made to be an open-world RPG, where you accept quests in different areas and have many aspects that expand the story.

sperg post incoming:

-bethesda released an official hd texture pack, its a bit resource intensive but if you have the computer for it i highly recommend it. its available as free dlc on steam
-if youre not a mega sperg, you can do all your modding through the steam workshop which is super easy. find a mod, click subscribe, open skyrim, wait for the launcher to download them, and go. good mods that i like:
--stones of barenziah quest markesr
--complete skyforge
--fall of the space core
--whistle
--random alternate start
--moonpath to elsweyr
--here there be monsters
if you're a super sperg, a lot of people recommend frostfall but im not a fan

-if you are a mega sperg, youll probably also want to install the skyrim script extender (skse) which is available on the nexus. this enables more mod options, like skyui, which is a custom ui designed for the pc which is way better than the default one.
-if you are a pervert, just go to nexus and look around

frostfall is fun once you get used to it. i only tried after logging many hours without and i think that helps

former

like if you're one of those people who plays turn based rpgs of any sort and get really fuckin mad when your characters miss attacks or fail to dodge at absolutely critical moments itll likely piss you off real bad

getting hosed by the rng for a handful of rounds in even the most basic enemy encounters will goddamn near kill your whole party

The Transvestite is a role specific to Slash'EM Extended. They are a melee combat class, and can be any race or alignment. Some of their features may seem offensive to some players, but Amy Bluescreenofdeath (creator of Slash'EM Extended) explicitly states it's not meant to offend anyone; rather, the Transvestite role is just meant to be unique. Slash'EM Extended is just a video game; NHINRL. Players who are sensitive to the subject of crossdressing are advised to play other roles instead.

this blackface is meant to be unique and if you're sensative to the subject of makeup you should remember that this isn't meant to be offensive
