Rogue Trader but you gotta play Recettear in between missions and sell people the Xenos artifacts you looted in those missions.

so apparently part of the act 3 performance bullshit bottle neck is uh, the citizen npcs? i guess if you kill/loot them it gets even worse?

tabletop games are about telling stories and "i missed over and over again" isn't a very compelling story

Zokari posted:tabletop games are about telling stories and "i missed over and over again" isn't a very compelling story no the dice rolls themselves are not the compelling stories. also yes, dnd dice rolling is a bit poo poo, especially if you have visceral negative reactions to hitting the shallow end of the probability distribution. that's understandable and fixable. *thinking real hard* thinking you can fix dnd by fudging dicerolls is like voting for democrats

I gave minsc a bow that doubles your proficiency bonus and even with the penalty from sharpshooter he’s got +12 to hit.

you can fix missing in bg3 by taking the perk that makes it two rolls and takes the better roll.

# ? Aug 22, 2023 05:20 |

anyway the answer is to take bg3 combat but have it be vermintide 2 combat instead. solution to all rpg combat really

Modding bg3 to use 3d6 instead

There was a feature I really liked in another d20 fantasy system that unfortunately never really took off (it launched around 4e and then kinda died for no real reason) called Fantasy Craft, where almost every class had a specific skill that they could almost always reliably succeed on so long as the target was under 20+your class level. The thief would almost always succeed on being stealthy, the diplomatic guy would almost always roll good on his Persuasion rolls, and so on. Its really strange that 5e operates under the assumption that only the rogue (and maybe the bard? can't remember) should ever get 5e's equivalent feature, Reliability (can't roll lower than a 10 on the skill you choose).

There’s a ton of tabletop rogs out there that do different stuff and I’m always sad when people decide to just stick with dnd. There’s so much out there, where’s the curiosity!? They even made the Dark Souls rpg with dnd 5E despite systems way more fitting existing. And there was even already a unique one in Japanese they could have translated!

Even 3e had the Take 10 / Take 20 rules so specialists weren't just rolling bare and had some kind of protection against complete failure

turn off the TV posted:That actually makes me think that it might be fixable since it sounds like the game is making GBS threads itself trying to track the state of that many NPCs at once and not making GBS threads itself trying to render them. The solution is just to remove the NPCs because they don't do anything. Or make them non-interactable/flee whenever combat starts, and nothing else. Sure it's less "immersive" but who cares, people want to be able to beat the game.

The same nerds who got mad at that street fighter post were the same nerds who swore a blood oath against Garth Ennis for writing an issue of The Punisher where he beat up Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Daredevil. i used to hate that poo poo but now im high on weed all the time so that post was p funny to me maybe other subforums should consider weed to improve the browsing experience

In tabletop the dm can at least go "you missed but your wild swing knocks over the brazier and spills burning coals all over the necromancers priceless Persian rug" so the players actions are still affecting the world rather than just "nothing happens, spend 15 minutes waiting your turn again" Bg3 at least makes combat faster usually tho

3 days until the new season and my hype grows. Finished all my straggling quests last night. We had a 4th PoI picture drop last night. This one was of a different PoI and I think backs up my thought about the new area being in the southwest area of the map. We had a battlepass skin or boss reskin preview drop this morning. It is a new skin for the wild card skin.
