some of the audio also is hosed. doesn't look like there's a way to disable their audio occlusion but im guessing that's probably to blame. sounds like it wasn't an issue in EA

Perfectly captures D&D (derogatory)

what's funny is that d&d's only saving grace is that the combat is deadly as gently caress, and thus exciting...
but you can also break the d&d ruleset completely with even fairly shallow knowledge so especially in the vidya games the big bads have to have hundreds of hit points to not be a minor speedbump at best lmao

Oh it fucks up so bad when you go near elevated places too. Can't remember if it was like that in DOS2, but ugh I hate it when I'm trying to aim at poo poo above me and the camera starts shifting around.

As for the harpers, as mentioned they're mostly a faction to insert wherever the plot needs an organization to lean on for help. They aren't a proper likeness to regular groups in our world unless we're talking anarchists of a very niche brand, since most of those didn't have close ties to a government figure and still act the way they do.

the real life equivalent to the harpers is the cia and the school of the americas

The real life equivalent would probably be a mix of the surviving anarchists before the Soviet revolution, a bunch of history nerds and a CIA cell that went rogue like in Alpha Protocol.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

epic aggressively trying to erase where the name "unreal" in "unreal engine" came from just as id software is waving their arms around going "HEY REMEMBER QUAKE AND QUAKE 2???" (and having nightdive do 80% of the work) is a really good bit, i got to admit

A lot of people thought it meant 1st person mode and an unreal type mode was coming to fortnite when epic removed unreal. Unfortunately that hasn't materialized. Feels like a missed opportunity.

what is the most fun class in bg3 or is it best to just be a rogue so you don't have to have the rogue companion in your party

bard seems to do the rogue stuff fairly well, I haven’t had any need for astarion since college of lore and the power gloves you get like right in the beginning make it easy enough to disarm traps and pick locks
