spark947, do gaming w Larian CEO's advice about origin characters has thrown my Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough plans into disarray

Yo, who plays a DnD game and doesn’t make their own character? C’mon now.

Vodulas,

There are quite a few reasons. New to DnD or RPGs, want to just get into the game, want to experience the cool backstory for each origin character are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

hamiltonicity,

Counterpoint: All the origin characters have bespoke side stories and dialogue, and one of them is a chaotic neutral rogue who is also a bisexual vampire twink.

(Given Sven’s advice here I’m probably just going to go with a drow or tiefling warlock, but Astarion is absolutely on the table for the second playthrough.)

spark947,

Look, you do you, but it’s DnD.

So the story and choices are different with origin characters?

teraflopsweat,

At least to some degree, yeah. Each origin character has more to their background, different choices, etc that you can’t get through a play through where they are your companion

ono,

I don’t know how it is in this game, but in their previous game, each of the origin characters brought unique goals and quests into play, on top of the usual backstories.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah in divinity the origin characters were great, and their storylines fun. I kinda hoped BG3 would have the same because I really wanted to play an origin character with some cool sub-plot that we uncover while playing the main story.

Kovu, do games w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
@Kovu@lemmy.world avatar

please, fandom is one of the worst sites on the internet

subtext,

When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.

HawlSera, do gaming w Nearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations

Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.

AsherahTheEnd, do gaming w Dr Disrespect fired by the game studio he co-founded: 'It is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved'

Literally all he had to do was NOT inappropriately message a minor. And what did he do?

God I love it when rich and famous people get what they fucking deserve for the shit they do.

heavy, do gaming w In 1989, a Nintendo bigwig licensed SimCity on the spot by sliding a million dollar check across the table

I wonder if this is kind of how the Balatro dev feels

Zahille7, do gaming w Casper Van Dien is loving the Starship Troopers renaissance but still finds it mind-boggling some take it at face value

Unrelated, but I met Casper at a convention last summer, and he was super cool. He seems like he’d be a fun guy to know.

kogasa, do gaming w Indie dev baffled after acquaintance clones his game, puts it on Steam, and acts like it's no big deal: 'Happens every day homie'
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Reminds me of 2048 making a slightly worse clone of Threes and then releasing it for free.

doggle,

And enormously outperforming the original, too. A shame, I like threes.

Nikls94, do gaming w GOG is going to start deleting oversized cloud saves at the end of August

Understandable. It’s definitely possible to use any other cloud service for the saves. Maybe they’ll have some paid save service in the future - I don’t like this, but considering corporate greed in this equation…

applepie, do gaming w You can't take it with you, but you can't leave it for someone else either: Valve says you aren't allowed to bequeath a Steam account in a will

blockchain would solve a lot of these issues but IP owners and even steam likely, appear to be allergic to the idea of digital ownership. i wonder why?

Rentlar, do gaming w Redfall's devs were reportedly building out its massively delayed Hero Pass content 'very recently'—before Microsoft closed Arkane Austin for good

They did also reportedly say they were making offline mode.

They were also in the midst of making the cure for microtransaction cancer.

And they were putting final touches on the solution to homelessness the week before they were closed.

rubikcuber, do gaming w I tried two demos of machine learning AI NPCs, and they didn't convince me AI will lead to anything that immersive sims like Deus Ex haven't already done better
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

Most games, especially so called Triple A games, have too much text and NPC dialog. The last thing we need is more of this crap that the developers don’t even care about enough to write. How about we focus on making the gameplay good and not how we can fire more developers?

Shyfer, do gaming w With a near-unprecedented official license for its fan server, one of PC gaming's great MMOs has a vibrant future: 'Let it be shouted far and wide: City of Heroes lives again'

Oh wow! I’ve always wasted to play this game.

rmuk,

Well, now is your chance.

Go hunt. Kill skuls.
