  1. If it's a bug, it's not the one you listed here. Seems like weird quest interactions. The quest to rescue that person is completed and written in the journal like the choice I made was final, but then that person was found later and the quest never updated.
  2. Question for anyone who's finished Wyll's quest. I just did and it feels kind of sloppy, which I haven't really seen in the other origin quests. Spoilers through act 3 for Wyll. Did I run into a bug? This seems kinds weird.
  3. Based on the personal quests I've done, I'd wager I'm maybe 33 - 40% through Act 3. I'm doing what I can to finish most quests I encounter and I think I've done almost all of them with the exception of one from the first Act that didn't close when it should've and then flunked at the end of Act 2. Pretty sure this is a bug and it should have closed or there was another trigger that the journal didn't let me know about and I actually missed it. It's really great. I think my only laments are that now that I'm at level 11 or so... almost nobody can fuck with my party. It feels good to stomp some people and there's still an occasionally engaging fight, but most of the "challenge" at this point has come from mid fight triggers that I couldn't have predicted, or a bunch of mooks showing up out of nowhere immediately after a fight starts which will have Gale or someone caught with his pants down. I appreciate that I'm the architect of this issue; if I hadn't done almost every quest I could, I wouldn't be at close to max level. Maybe a Tactician run is in my future. Also the inventory management is lousy. We're not talking Starfield levels of derp, but... if I have a bottomless chest and through 95% of the game I can warp to it... just let me carry whatever I want. This isn't a survival horror game, holding infinite shit wouldn't change much other than preventing true stupidity like carrying every chest in the game at one time or something... I dunno. It just feels like added steps to warp shit I wanna sell to camp, then walk to a vendor, then warp to camp, pick up all my shit, then leave camp, then sell it. Maybe I should just munchkin less, whatever. Anyway so far all the Origin characters have been really interesting, their quests and development have been really fun to play through. Larian does good work but if you'd told me that we'd get a sequel to BGII / Throne of Bhaal 20 years later and it'd be this awesome, I dunno if I'd have believed, but here we are. The biggest crime they committed is to the stat line of a returning character... but I get why they did that. I guess.
  4. These are the same chucklekfucks who insisted that a "beer test" was relevant for George W. Bush, who is sober. It's just astrology and virtue signaling from people who claim to hate both.
  5. A significantly higher portion of Gen Z identifies as bisexual compared to previous generations.
  6. If CDkeys is selling steam keys for FO4, you just buy from them, redeem the Steam key, and it’s in your Steam library like you bought it directly from Steam.
  7. The vibes are pretty good and the settlement building is fun if that’s your speed. The shooting combat is like Starfield but worse but it does have VATS. A couple of the companions are quite fun, but some are pretty boring and nobody really shines as bright as the BG3 cast does. The story is, I’d say, bad. It sets its sights on some lofty themes but I don’t know that the motivations of any of the principal players are all that interesting and some are nonsense. There are a couple dramatic and fun bits though. It’s a Bethesda Game Studios game of its era, with all that implies for good and for ill. edit - also the radiant quest system is trash. I got the same quest to save the same person something close to 10 times, they got brought to the same place where the same enemies respawned with the same loot every. Single. Time. Despite playing a good character overall, I killed the family that kept giving me the same quest, convinced that the only reason it kept happening was them trying to have me killed. I regret nothing.
  8. Yeah that bit was awesome. I’m doing a good aligned path. I can’t really bring myself to be evil in games where the characters are fleshed out well and I like everyone involved; I want them to be happy! And the good aligned vibes in that scene really hit in a nice way since I just let that person do what THEY wanted to do without trying to influence them or even roll dice… they just kept walking down the path we paved together so far. Hit that sweet spot where it felt natural and earned, but I still felt like it might have swung the other way or that the game wanted me to try to intervene instead of trusting them. Really, really well done.
  9. I like McDonald's breakfast, but I find that I still feel hungry afterwards but can't actually eat anything since my stomach is full. It's a weird sensation. Doesn't stop me from powering through every now and again, though. Do they still do breakfast sandwiches with the McChicken in there? That was tasty.
  10. For people who like art, I don't think owning an art book is that different than someone who likes to read keeping books that they like.
  11. Just got past Act 2 for the first time. Game is so good, the whole end of that act is amazing. Had a funny interaction as part of my Lae'zel romance. I will say the only weird thing dialog wise when it comes to rejecting romance attempts from other characters is that I don't seem to be able to tell anyone that I'm with someone else? Me and Lae'zel pork in camp and there's no way she's quiet, everyone must know I'm into extraplanar ass play. Then someone else comes up to try and hit it (understandable) and I don't have the option to say "so sorry, I like them really mean"? Boo.
  12. I remember a really distinct wall when I played Imperial Assault and Destiny competitively at regional tournaments between people who played on TTS and people who didn't. I was one of the latter and could usually hang until I ran into the former. I went to a Destiny launch event for one wave or another and as I was getting worked over was being told I was playing combos sub optimally; I was playing the cards for the first time, they'd had them from leaks / previews online for a couple months and I just got bounced.
  13. Getting online in the 90's was how I realized I was trash at games compared to a lot of people. Going to FLGSs in the 20XX's was how I realized I was trash at tabletop games compared to a lot of people.
  14. I haven't played this or Armada in ages. There was an "anything goes" gig at Pax U that I meant to check out but ended up flaking on.
  15. Always gonna be funny to me that a Catholic character is gonna have "Born Again" in his show title @Commissar SFLUFAN
