I really hope what ever was lost isn't truly lost and maybe there are back ups. As well as I hope it doesn't hurt their progress much but that's so messed up.

Elden Clown Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 @Celan Have you played BG3 during early access or are you waiting until/after launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I haven't played the early release. I did buy it. Should have a couple weekends before I start my master's program and won't have much time to play anything. "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

This is exactly what we were calling for. This dumbass strike will end up backfiring big time. In an effort between the established factions to consolidate power in Hollywood, they’re accidentally decentralizing it. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these media corps were already suffering. Hell, Disney just recently started putting billion dollar assets up for sale, just like we were predicting last month. Executives have been fired. Even their theme parks -the one dependable revenue stream they had- are doing poorly. And now, with all that crap already going on, they’ve suddenly gotta deal with at least a year’s worth of big movies getting canceled or delayed because the unions refuse to work. They’re screwed. I think the result of this will be a stronger independent sphere, a reduced position for the mega media corps, and a shift towards lower budget projects even from the big dogs. Execs won’t want to risk $200+ million on projects that are no longer guaranteed to profit. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 @Celan @TheCzarsHussar I’m curious, what race/nation/background did y’all make for your Watchers in Pillars of Eternity? And did you use that background to influence how you roleplayed the character? My cipher was an Aedyran constable who tried to keep the peace in a colonial settlement but moved on after things went badly. Little patience for criminals or mob rule (which puts him at odds with House Doemenel and the Dozens), and makes liberal use of Caed Nua’s dungeons. Being from Aedyr, I made him weary of animancy and a supporter of its strict regulation. Though the severity of Waidwen’s Legacy has made him conclude that its practice in the Dyrwood probably shouldn’t be done away with altogether. Soon as I saw that you could pivot the "mercenary" background into a constable, I jumped on that. Wanted to make a sort of fantasy "Seth Bullock/Wyatt Earp" type of hero. And I like to RP that his then-meager cipher abilities would’ve been controversially used for investigative purposes, and only become powerful enough for offensive use after his Awakening. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her back story is basically what I wrote in my fanfiction stories. I had her from the frozen north and wavering between following the nature god vs. the northern god of entropy. In PoE1, she really was godlike, gameplay wise. Then in PoE2, they not only nerfed the druid spells, they gave you an animal companion but your spellcraft was tied to the animal. So as I recall, every fight went like this: 1. Cast weak spell, 2. Pet dies and my spellcraft gets nerfed even further 3. Wait for spells to recharge 4. Fight is over before the next recharge. It wasn't fun at all. Though they did give you more class based dialogue. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

Rymrgand seems like a cool god to base a character around. Lot of RP potential there. Do you remember which type of godlike she was? My Watcher sees Woedica as his matron. Fits his Aedyr background and him being a former lawman. But the events of the main quest obviously change his perspective on her quite a bit. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go with Nature godlike since there wasn't an Ice godlike. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

When production of season 1 got delayed due to the lockdowns, he used the extra time to redraft and tighten up his scripts. I’m sure when the strike ends, things will resume pretty smoothly for Andor. Probably more so than most other projects. That said, Andor just barely missing its chance to avoid getting delayed due to that crybaby WGA snitch is pretty much the only thing to come out of this strike that I didn’t like. But ah well. I take solace knowing that said crybaby is in for a bad and unrewarding next few months. Enjoy flipping burgers, hack. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
