Sorry but Dragon Ball made it so every transformation has to be their own fighter. It's the law now.

This is still dumb. The best dbz games were the ones were you had to power up just to go ssj.

My brain is so busted... my compulsive need to restart RPGs if I detect a slight imperfection with my character, or if I wonder how a different class' playstyle might go, means that I never get past even the halfway point. I'll keep restarting until I eventually get distracted by another game. It's taking its toll.

My 2019 gamer resolution is to change this

Having grown up with computer RPGs I am still weary about this. A lot of these older RPGs would brick wall you full stop if you developed your character certain ways. :/

Finally beat Tyranny. I almost think it should be more popular because the first two acts were pretty good, some personal problems with ai aside. Third act was kinda disappointing, I broke the power curve in half during the second act and the game never brought out anything challenging.

Yeah. In my dottage, I’ve taken to reading min/max character guides so I understand the mechanics and then deviating from them towards whatever my chracter concepts are. gently caress RPGs that give you 50 chances to use ability x and 4 chances to use ability y and gently caress RPGs that don’t have full (cosmetic & mechanical) respec throughout the game.

Had to do ~The Adult Thing~ today and spend my Christmas cash on getting a new phone, as my old one is on the way out.

Luckily ~The Kid Thing~ is to buy the PSVR Headset bundle that I wanted to buy tomorrow on credit, and pay it off next pay day.

So I bought shadow of war in the sale cos it was cheap and I kinda enjoyed the first one, though I didn't finish it cos it was really long.

But I have a question.

Now I'm not a huge lord of the rings buff, I know a few bits about it, but I'm fairly sure that Shelob is a giant spider and has been since she or possibly her mam hosed with the magic trees a million years ago.

But in this game she is a big titty lady in a dress.

Why is this?

Because they wanted her to be a big titty lady instead of a spider.

the game is just lotr fanfiction, don't think about it too much

There is a very good and very canonical reason and youd have to read the Silmarillion to find out why and since we both know you wont do that youll just have to trust us, wont you?

I have a Pixel 1, but have been starring at the new Apple phones, especially now that they work on Google Fi. I think i'll be able to get another 2 years or so out of mine though. The wife insists that I wait until this phone is dead, and honestly she is right, that is a good policy to have. :P

They should've kept shelob as a giant spider instead of trying to chase the trend of "sexy lady with spider parts"

I say that as if that was an actual trend. Idk what it is but it seems like there are a not-insignificant number of spiders in media that are also meant to be sexy women.

I dunno what the origin of that is, if someone was just like "drat spiders are hot but I wish they had woman tops" or if it's just a natural extension of the whole black widow thing where people have described deadly women as being black widows

Shelob doesn't even have spider parts, she's just a pale human woman.

I guess I'm more specifically asking is there something in the first game that explains why shelob is a big titty lady in this one? If it's supposed to be unexplained at the moment that's OK I just worry I've missed something important when something that unexpected happens.

I mean I didn't know that shelob was also a wizard either tbh.

Nah she just transformed into a big titty lady because she wanted to

Shelob became a titty lady out of envy for Sauron and the Nine, who are actually all titty ladies under their cloaks and armor
