The Good Doctor Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 Nearly gave myself a heat stroke today from all the barbecuing I did. But the dizziness just makes the fireworks look bigger. Happy 4th! 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Took a lot of back and forth, but I settled making a human Druid, mercenary from whatever culture gives you the greataxe. And because I'm me, I called him Cassivelorenus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Normally around this time I’d join you guys in the 4th of July posts, but the “blind patriotism” tank has run out. Y’all can thank the army and the last few years of politics for that. Hell, I’d leave if I could but immigrating is fucking expensive, I don’t feel like doing 25 years in the French Foreign Legion or being French, and no other English speaking countries do the military service = citizenship except Australia and they aren’t currently taking E-5 infantrymen lol Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would be a good call. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people ask me why I joined now I say “18 years of indoctrination and a handful of misplaced patriotism” and then when they ask why I’m still in I say “because it’s almost impossible to get out with a family and not live under a bridge for a few months unless you have $200,000 saved” 1 hour ago, Celan said: I assure you that any shows of "blind patriotism" on my part are deeply ironic.

So was 99 percent of the Western World; including most of the U.S On paper, but our Federal goverment is toothless and spineless and can't properly enforce there shit in a country so large. Even in Ontario (where Ottawa is), our provincial government (which wields enormous power) had way more of an impact in our day to day affairs. In some of our "fronter" provinces, like Alberta and Saskatchewan they even give less of a shit; it's pretty much the wild west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 While I love poleaxes, would a greathammer or greatsword be better? Or is this a Gigachad game where every weapon type has its role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can respec for coin so I wouldn’t stress over it too much. For skills, my only advice is to choose one member of your party and make them your dedicated "mechanic". Only level the Mechanics skill for them, and don’t waste points leveling it for anyone else. And Survival is a really good general skill. I like to give everyone a point in Athletics so they can get a free heal in combat, several for tanks, and then just level Survival a lot. Stealth, I save for a single dedicated "scout", similar to Mechanics. 1 minute ago, TheCzarsHussar said: While I love poleaxes, would a greathammer or greatsword be better?

It’s like DnD in that you can choose a specialization that suits your preference. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 @TheCzarsHussar Also, something you’ll probably notice in the first town is that a lot of NPCs have a yellow "talk" bubble instead of the normal white, and talking to them activates a mode where you can read their soul memories. These are not important to the story or any quests. You can ignore them if you want, or read them if you’re interested. They are just a nod from Obsidian to fans who backed the Kickstarter, little blurbs that the fans wrote that were put into the game as a "thank you". I read like twenty my first playthrough and was really confused by them. Now I usually skip. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Druid is really fun, the three bandits and the friendly cook I ran into did a number on me until I started blasting them with magic and goring them on boar tusks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Unlike literally every other game I play that allows it, I'm going to try and keep a character journal. So that the true main character can find notes on my skeleton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) After more attempts than I like to admit, I cleared the spiders with just me and the elf. It feels like this place needs a much bigger party. I'll probably come back later. Edit: I'm probably fucking up a quest by doing this too early as well Edited July 5, 2023 by TheCzarsHussar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
