Fourth ability is what most people drop. Second choice is usually ability two but it’s a pretty distant second.

Unless you’re expecting a third game in a series.

The game is like 90% content that I enjoy with a small annoyance I can skirt around by reading a few wiki pages. I come to these games for satisfying combat, not obtuse quest lines you can miss without precognition.

I’m of the opinion that not every company needs to expand indefinitely. Most things should probably just stay at a sustainable level.

they already generate revenue in an agreeable way. they have two methods of paying them: Nitro and Server Boosts. they made $440 million dollars of revenue in 2020 off this. if your business can’t find a way to be sustainable off of half a billion dollars then it probably doesn’t deserve to continue existing.

if you feel comfortable mucking about in your BIOS, disabling TPM will pretty much guarantee they don’t spring 11 on you. they are really dead set on that requirement for some reason.

It’s not historical but medieval fantasy settings generally tend to be based around medieval European tropes. I guess I just assumed your problem was with period accuracy because there are variations in the accents. Karlach has a working-class accent, Asterion is posh, Shadowheart is middle class? british.

It could be more overt, I suppose, or incorporate more than just british regional accents, but I feel like they made more of an effort than you’re giving them credit for. I really disagree with any of it sounding like a theater troupe, though, save maybe Dame Aylin but that’s in-line with her character.

but it doesn’t even sound like shakespear or theatre it sounds like natural, maybe slightly RP, modern english accent. and didn’t say you are complaining, I suggested you would if they were talking in incomprehensible ‘accurate’ accents. even a period london accent would probably be tricky to grasp

its a bunch of english VOs doing their natural voices. if they adopted like a period-accurate cockney or something you’d be complaining about how they’re impossible to understand. actual shakespear would also probably be difficult to parse

Edge, unlike Internet Explorer, is not a system level dependency. There is a separately installed web view that handles that now, likely due to EU consumer protections.

If they’re still playing OW2 then it’s pretty obvious that nothing Blizzard does will make them stop. The fact that they’re complaining about the price’s amount rather than the price itself is proof that Blizz already has them on the hook.

It’s an open source project. It has no investors driving it toward user hostile profit seeking which is the primary force behind enshittification. A large user base doesn’t cause it, merely triggers it where the cause is already present.

What I’m trying to say though is that most of them just do make their character a guy and move on. They don’t need the mod and the people who they think do need it aren’t going to install it. It’s not just a transparent attempt to ignite culture war arguments online, but it’s a stupid and ineffective one.

They aren’t really forcing their views on anyone though, they’re just jacking themselves off. No nonconforming person is going to download this and inflict it on themselves, and they have no reason to use it themselves unless they’re just really closeted and lack the will to not express their own nonconformity. It can literally only exist to rile people up who sought out the mod specifically, which includes only them.

Does anyone even install these mods or do they just exist for people to get outraged at?

It’s working fine on the client im using and I’m using the format buttons in the web-based editor. What syntax works on your guys’ end?

That ending scene is used in at least one other circumstance:

It’s probably just a generic scene for miscellaneous unwinnable game states.

Here’s a few:

That’s a short list off the top of my head but there’s been plenty more.

A lot of games do mocap on the face but what strikes me most about BG3 is how much body language the characters use. They aren’t an emotive head on a stiff body switching between obvious static poses. Dame Aylin isn’t just shouting at me she’s leaning into it, arms up, fists clenched and shaking. It really adds a lot to the character performances.

So thoroughly CEO-brained he’s sabotaging his own business. He’d rather have his serfs in spitting distance than a future for his company. Truly incredible.
