Atreus is autistic, Kratos knows that but he doesn't know how to deal with it because he never met another person like Atreus, that's why they have so many "silly" fights (which for Atreus are not silly) ... but Kratos definitely does his best to be a good father and always help his son !! Kratos is also autistic but he doesn't know it

Lostconfused posted:Pretty easy, you can just burst it down in a turn without letting it do any BS. I think I reloaded that fight only once, maybe twice. I've been trying to catch the underdark one in a way that doesn't result in some bullshit but I haven' been successful. I think I'm gonna make my party or a scout invisible, feather fall down then see if I can trigger combat without a surprise round.

I'm starting to keep candles and jugs of water and poo poo in my inventory just in case but haven't used them in battle yet. what else is dippable besides fire? the environment is so versatile

the spectator fight doesn't trigger if you're hiding, hide your whole party in corners of the area and then just unhide one, only they'll get surprised

I was having some problems with the magma mephit fight in grym (they are nasty, there's like 12 of them and they explode when they die) so i feather falled karlach down then unloaded on them with arrows from the top of the cliff even they swarmed her, it was hilarious, karlach was basically ash by the end of it

i say swears online posted:I'm starting to keep candles and jugs of water and poo poo in my inventory just in case but haven't used them in battle yet. what else is dippable besides fire? the environment is so versatile there are way more things you can just toss if you don't need them, so far things i thought might have a bit of flavor attached don't really, and things that are important either advertise it flagrantly or don't show up in your barter window. if they don't have actions associated with it its a good indicator you can sell it as well, books after reading, no issues it seems. i even got halsin's pipe from somewhere and couldn't give it back to him  as far as water and fire go, there are uses but you probably have better ways than a candle, like that little cantrip that does 1d8 fire as bonus action or w/e. water is trickier to come by, but less useful, a few burning things, but that's about it so far. keep an eye out for hinged braziers and poo poo in battle, or bridges NPCs stand on but be prepared to be generally underwhelmed by the results. you get way better bang for your buck throwing out your own smokepowder barrels

I'm thinking on my evil playthrough I might just do an all hireling party so I don't have to interact with the companion stories at all. Can you respec them into anything you want at Withers? It seems kind of dumb you can't just roll a custom party.

the Heimdal figt would have been cool if he slowly realized he's not actually fighting Kratos, but that he's mindreading that Kratos calculating and recalculating every fight until he wins like Heimdal kills you effortlessly, you reload, and next time he gets slower, starts wondering whats up, reload, until he straight up panics and wants to get out of Kratos' brain

Either way if you like your Deus Exes or System Shocks you oughta play Prey.

that's a wrap on Sniper Elite 3, I've just completed the eighth and final mission of the single-player campaign, though completionists can still pursue collectibles and harder difficulties are available. It took me just under 12 hours, according to Steam. some concluding thoughts: there's a very specific loop, or one might say trick, to the gameplay: if you shoot a Nazi right out in the open, where it can be heard by others, it puts everyone on an alert status, and the game's UI tells you that you have to move away from the spot you shot the enemy from, usually around 25-35 meters. if you never leave that zone, and you shoot someone else, the alert will escalate into them actively hunting you, and then zeroing-in on your position and actively hunting you. if you do move away by the required 30 meters, the alert status eventually goes down and everyone goes back to their default, un-alert status. you can use things like sound-masking, or picking off isolated soldiers, or making silenced shots with your Welrod pistol, or making silent melee takedowns, in order to eliminate troops without even raising the alert level at all, but you can ignore a lot of that in favor of simply going back and forth 30 meters between shots if you have enough of a cleared section of the map, you can shoot at someone, walk away until the game tells you that you've moved far enough, walk back, shoot someone else, walk away again, come back, and over and over until you've cleared-out the map the only time this model of behavior gets put into jeopardy is if you don't have enough room to do the 30-meter shuffle, which is usually at the very beginning of a mission, or if you, for whatever reason, shoot a second target before you've completed the relocation, because then you have to move another 30 meters from where you took this second shot otherwise, you can complete the mission in relative safety this way and I don't say this necessarily as a criticism of the game - it does make you feel very powerful and clever to just pick off an entire army by yourself, as the stereotypical sniper is portrayed in pop culture narratives. in the middle of writing this post, I went back and re-did the first mission on the "Sniper Elite" difficulty, the third out of five difficulty levels, just to check myself that you could still do this, and sure enough, you still can. The soldiers are much faster to go from unalert to alert to attacking, which can demand some more creativity in setting up shots, but the gameplay remains largely the same as I was playing on this difficulty, I did also find a feature that elevates Sniper Elite from "pretty good" to "excellent" status. you see, I completed the game on the easiest difficulty, where bullet physics are turned off - if the enemy's forehead is in your crosshairs, it will hit dead-on, every single time. When you climb up the difficulty levels, you have to start accounting for things like bullet drop and windage. The kicker is that the game's Hold Breath mechanic will also activate a secondary reticle which does all of that for you, but only if you have Hold Breath turned on whereas every other shooter with a sniper rifle and "realistic" physics will both ask you to deal with gravity and muzzle velocity without giving you real-world tools to help, Sniper Elite is willing to abstract-away all of that, but only within the framework of a shot that's calm enough to let you take your sweet time to do it. Which is such a fantastic way to have your cake and eat it too.

Like in this game, on the air strip level, if you go to the opposite end of the runway from where you start, climb the guard tower, you can see all the way down the length of the runway. Way off in the distance in the dunes past the airstrip is a lone guard, who you can snipe for an achievement and bonus points. Usually you need the gun with the best optics and furthest reach to even have a chance of hitting these guys. SE5 has a shot that even with the best optics and farthest shooting gun, the target is still basically 2 pixels tall through the scope.
