I can turn up with a doodle of a pig-witch and I AM HERE on a sign, and a second sign that reads HAHA FUNNY ANECDOTE VALUED FRIEND/FAMILY MEMBER

Pact of the Blade Warlock 5 plus [any other class that gets Extra Attack 5] (Paladin, Ranger, Barb, Fighter) still gets three attacks a turn due to Larian messing up how PotB works with standard EA.

You can go Swords Bard 6/PotB 5 for three attacks/turn also.

Don’t think they’ve fixed it yet, though they definitely should.

A non-anglo gamer not having a perfect grasp of English? Impossible.

Dev posts I’ve seen imply it might be intentional - it’s fine, a level 10 lock multiclass and a level 11 fighter aren’t really worlds apart

Elenthas-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 2:12pm

A warlock (essentially a full caster) multiclass being able to nab three attacks before a single class fighter whose entire gimmick is lots of attacks is very stupid.

It’s not gamebreaking, but it’s very dumb.

Fighters can attack 7 times in a row if they want to, they’ll be fine

Elenthas-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 2:15pm

Warlock 5/Gloomstalker 5/Fighter 2 can get 8!

Stonetower-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 2:16pm

but will they know the dignity, nay the majesty, of being a level 12 human fighter?

Keep going and I’ll manage to get out of family Christmas events with the replacements

Are ju implying me English isn’t error free???

Got my lenses, have a check up p much right after I get back from the land of the bri’ish tho, but that’s a thing I’m willing to accept.

Oh and Lintian, it is indeed because you’re logged out you can’t see tumblr post dates.
They must’ve changed it since last I was logged out then, you used to be able to see posted dates without logging in previously.

Noticed a pattern in my recent games:
Cyberpunk 2077
RDR2
BG3
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

… terminal illness crew.

firing up the gaming rig like HEY YOU GUYS WANNA TALK ABOUT DEATH?

Desartin-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 2:34pm

Sorry but you set yourself up for this one

Blythan-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 2:41pm

Gaming just isn’t the same without massive amounts of angst and hurt(/comfort)

Neither is reading

Elenthas-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 3:00pm

No worse than any average native English speaker’s…

Aldru-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 3:02pm

I am a big fan of the heavy angst but also if my feelings aren’t hurting after finishing a game, have I truly finished it?

Same thing with fics, I want to hurt after reading thanks

Blythan-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 3:41pm

It’s only good if I can feel it kick my feelings in the gut

It is sad not to be able to play BG3 with my partner, but occasionally getting DMs from her that are just like SAREVOK is worth it

Croecell-argent-dawn · October 23, 2023, 4:25pm

Reminded my current side project is dark AF compared to my main book (which is also very grim)

And that’s not only due to it being set in a land of the main book that got swallowed up by a magic barrier that basically blotted out the sun.

Was recently reminded of Ragnaros, and what a great character honestly. just loves burning stuff, big voice, DIE INSECT BY FIRE BE PURGED
