ya magic classes are my fav but only if you don't play them like a dickhead by totally outshining everyone else, it's okay to be a pivotal part of an encounter but don't just wave your hand and solve everything yourself

the fact that you have to think about whether you're being a poo poo just by using your class's abilities is why d&d casters are poorly designed

wild mage was p fun when they first added it

She deserved a better game

or her own game

like Noire, but with dragons and magic

I'd play a solo spinoff of her solving dumb crimes in her dumb city.

Mass effect 2 is also really good. Good characters and it manages to heavily tone down the stupid fiddly poo poo many rpgs get saddled with.

my last campaign, my "self insert NPC" was a wizard with tons of obviously powerful artifacts and whatnot, but my party didn't interrogate him

then in the middle of combat, they realized he was modeled after Rincewind, and when poo poo hit the fan all he would do is cast Gaseous Form and bail

im building a collection of UI design in legend of galactic heroes

thats cool i've always liked the crazy ui design you see in sci fi things and the vintage stuff is always best. there used to be an awesome HAL emulation screensaver once upon a time but I think it's dead now. cool graphs.

note: planescape: torment is actually a bad game, but the writing totally makes up for that. New Vegas is also in the same boat to some extent (the gameplay isn't quite as bad tho).

There is a version of dungeons and dragons that doesn't suffer from poorly designed magic classes, rampant class/party imbalances, tons of fiddly weird corner case rules, or incredibly vague/bad technical writing.

if you listen to the behind the scenes Adventure Zone episodes, there's a lot of talk about how magic can just easily gently caress up the game + storyline so they actively have to think about not doing that

the difference between bad games and good games is mostly that good games are replayable

bad games absolutely can offer good first-time experiences

I actually don't think so, it wouldn't have made sense. She should come back in future games, but she had no natural role in the third one and was better served by just living her life.

the correct position to take is hating on russian billionaires instead of the country itself because what's happening to its citizens is entirely because of kleptocracy and the fact that sanctions are loving useless at anything other than loving poors

mueller is going to ruin the oligarchs more than anything congress will consider and he's not even intending to do that

the correct position for any oligarch
