I dont know man - SH3 is loving incredible in visual and sound design and 4 is a loving mind gently caress of a game

The only Silent Hill I've spent any time playing was SH4. A couple friends and I rented it during the summer before going to college in 2004, and I remember making them turn the lights on and pacing around while one of them played the game. So spooky that I couldn't handle it even when I was with other people and wasn't even the one playing.

IMO the spookiest parts (by far) were the parts where you're first-person in the room. Being in first-person definitely increases the spooky factor.

CREATE FOOD AND WATER posted:


3rd level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: VS
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Cleric, Paladin You create 45 pounds of food and 30 gallons of water on the ground or in containers within range, enough to sustain up to fifteen humanoids or five steeds for 24 hours. The food is bland but nourishing,
and spoils if uneaten after 24 hours. The water is clean and doesn't go bad.

a 20th level cleric could create 675 pounds of food a day

im just endlessly amused by the whole, we want a setting with full plate but no guns, and where 80%+ of the population is urban, and the major groups are explicitly apolitical terrorist cells / insanely well equipped neighborhood watches with a flat hierarchy and anyone that does any actual trade exists to loving die, thing

Yeah because gods are rational and reasonable and won't be jealous petty assholes when some dipshit tries to game the system.
