who likes escort missions why the gently caress do they get shoved into every game they suck so bad I'd rather do a ten-phase fetch quest over the course of an hour and a half than one 3 minute escort mission

It's fine, you would have rolled that anyway for your caster. That way it frees up your points for constitution, so your early levels of playing a wizard isn't the most miserable experience possible.

i dunno man iirc at level 4 my character has 19 AC, can do 16-20 melee damage per turn without spending resources, can easily pick locks and pass charisma checks and is also a competent wizard. that seems like too much

Are you gonna wanna roll dice for an extra 40 guys who probably just all get immediately nuked by a fireball? If i was dming a game where some rear end in a top hat wanted a horde of dweebs I'd be doing my god damnedest to kill them off asap

it's three (3) dice rolls though 12 yo me would possibly have done it at home and huh look at that i rolled really high wow

not trolling, the latest update is really cool and let’s you add robot parts to your creatures. But you can only get it from a code on 2010 Dr Pepper cans, so thats probably why a lot of people don’t realize how good the game is now.

Mission 7 of Sniper Elite 3 completed.

This one puts you in a big airfield and you have to clear out pretty much all of it, and along the way you discover an extensive bunker network and free some POWs that the Nazis were going to execute.

The big scene at the very end has you taking up a sniper's nest overlooking the airfield and providing cover fire for the Desert Rats as they raid the airfield. I managed to make two shots where the bullet goes through-and-through one soldier and passes into another standing behind him.

The raid yields a map that leads to the factory producing the wunderwaffe, which leads us to the final act.

CoD is every year

Mr Hootington posted:

Usually they alternate

what used to happen is that they alternate studios: Treyarch Studios, then Sledgehammer Games, then back to Treyarch. And the games weren't always direct sequels to each other: Treyarch did Black Ops Cold War, set in the... Cold War, and then Sledgehammer did Vanguard, which was set in WWII, then Treyarch did Modern Warfare 2, which is set in the Present.

the problem with this year is that MW2 is being immediately followed-up with MW3, and Actiblizzard is trying to pass it off as being a big enough package to be sold as an entirely new game, which people are finding unconvincing.

Yea, especially since they originally said that 2023 won't have a new CoD, that MW2 was gonna be so big it would last two years. And then they changed their mind. It's pretty reasonable that folks would find that suspicious, particularly since Sledgehammer is making MW3 so it's a shorter dev cycle.

On the other hand this means that Treyarch will presumably be the studio behind 2024's game and that means they had an extra year to cook so I'm prepared for this year to be underwhelming and for next year's game to be real good.

I meant when you take your goon squad on the road and get into an encounter. Though like others said, you would probably just roll one die for the lot of them in fights. I just think one way or another they'd all be dead soon enough

The only good MMO is City Of Heroes and 75% of why its good is the character creator. The other 25% is that you can fly to the top of a skyscraper and knock a bunch of satanist gangsters off by summoning a hurricane.

At like 11 years old, we had a kid who said he rolled all 18s for his character when rolling at home (including a 100 on the strength percentile) and his dad would back him up. So we simply accepted this, and then the party/DM conspired to kill his perfect character as quickly as possible, and threw the corpse in a volcano.

Meanwhile I've been showing it to anyone who asks and a major plot point for a whole zone was that they didn't know I have it.

Then the main baddies talked about how much they needed it as I walked into the room then 2/3rds of them portalled away without having seen me or my party despite looking in our direction for a 3 minute speech

These days it takes about 1-2 weeks. Definitely doable in a 2 month period.
