BG3 is too long, man, it's like turnbased Elden Ring took a wrong turn ("im level 3, yeah sure I'll search for the Night Song ") and now its 30 hours and I just got to act 2 edit: I never found it

In BG3, do benched party members continue to gain XP? Should I even try to use all the party members, or just use the top 3 I care about most? Astarion is entertaining, but I find that I don't really enjoy playing Rogue much.

i have no idea how to progress in act 3 the only way i know how to get passed the guard checkpoint is get arrested and break out but im not sneaky enough and fighting an entire prison worth of guards sounds boring

KirbyKhan posted:My videojuego today is listening to this nerd explain this mystery game for 7 hours. This thread moves too fast, but Who's Lila slaps, play it. In 7 hours you could probably 100% it yourself and it's much more satisfyig figuring out what the gently caress is going on than watching someone else do it.

I'm playing it with a group and it's funny that it basically replicates the problems of 5e combat but faster where you wait for your turn and miss then have to wait again.

i took my oled switch on vacay this year and got some scraps of gaming into time in bed and in transit. Little bit of luigi's 3 but mostly FF X which i hadnt played before and am really enjoying??? I remember trailers when it first came out that looked incredible to kid me but we were a nintendo household. Lots of jokes about bad VA and Wakka's 'Ha Ha Ha!' Turns out its a great character driven story with a cool tropical setting, incredible visuals, and some goddamn amazing music? I played the sequence on the ship from Besaid to Kili village while ensconsed in the gently rocking berth of an overnight ferry in the mediterranean and it was loving sublime

As much as I'm enjoying BG3 (much more than I ever enjoyed both Divinity 1 and 2, was quite worried when Larian picked up the license for BG), I am getting that Larian feeling again where they throw an absolute sandbox at you and expect you to enjoy it, whilst failing to give specific context or pre-background reasoning for doing anything. I'm in the goblin camp and it's basically extreme multi choice, which becomes a bit overwhelming. I guess it's to create re-playability, but how likely am I to sit through a 200-odd hour game again? Dunno, maybe i'm just getting old.

I'm in the last chapter of FF7, doing the Yakuza-like activities, collecting kids and giving them motivational speeches and slowly realizing that remake Cloud is basically Kiryu. Still fun, though there is a lot of strange stuff going on with the design. There were a bunch of cargo-cult jrpg puzzles, for example the train graveyard looked like it would require to move the trains around to clear the way, but they're actually just doors. Not that the game would have been improved if you'd actually have to run around to find the right button sequence, but still weird.

How's BG3 in terms of quirkiness? I ask because it grated on me in DOS1 and was less present in 2 but still there. I mean in the vein of "OOooh I'm Welly McWellington, the well" which actually happens in 1.

I got tired of D:OS2 writing pretty fast, but BG3 so far has been decent. If I had a complaint it would be that all of your companions are way too thirsty for you way too fast, but overall it's just as good as BG1-2 and all the other Infinity engine games, if not better.

Does anyone playing TOTK have a favorite attack drone schematic to share? I'm enjoying my melee build gameplay style but I'm loving drowning in zonaite and it could be fun to do some war crimes on some bokoblins

loquacius posted:(btw I looked it up and the dupe trick is so loving easy lol, threw lynel guts all over Lookout Landing and now I have super badass armor, no regrets) Hover stone is your best bet for something airborne. Those can really shred tho, I just never did much with them. A hover stone with a head and some lasers on each corner will wreck and they're stationary so take to cannons well. Mirrors will also stun enemies and make them drop their weapons if they're reflecting light, lots to work with there You can also shoot a hover stone fused to an arrow and it will spawn it activated at exactly the highest point you can ascend into it
