This is one of those rare cases where Nintendo could fix your console for free or give you a replacement. You should contact customer service, they’re usually very friendly and helpful. Good luck 🙂
I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 as much as I possibly can. I’m having a ton of fun with it! I’ve never played D&D, or any of the Baldur’s Gate games, so I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it!
When in doubt, check the tooltips to see what a thing means and what it does. Even the tooltips have tooltips sometimes. I do really wish they broke down the to-hit percentages underneath the cursor in combat, because that would go a long way toward helping the player understand the underlying math.
That’s the combat log for you. Listing all the math going on would be a bit much.
Personnaly I just went along without checking too much of how things are calculated. When I saw 30% hit chance, I just knew I had to do somehting else. When I got a good grasp of the system, I dug deeper on how things are calculated.
There’s a lot to understand for new players so I think they made the right call.
Thinking about it, maybe just listing the AC or the attribute that would make the Save without the need to Examine each enemy would be nice.
I definitely went several hours being okay with only the to hit chance, but once you start leveling up and fighting harder enemies, you're looking for ways to optimize, so I wish it was an option to see what the math is that determines that chance ahead of time.
I finished Quake 2: Call of the Machine. It’s definitely my favorite of the Machine Games campaigns, for Quake 1 and 2, and probably my favorite Quake campaign in general. It’s still the same formula as the others, a hub that connects a bunch of different levels, where you need to collect items to unlock the final boss. This campaign is a bit more challenging than the other Q2 ones, but not that hard. It’s also not as confusing, so that’s a plus for me as well. I think I’ll skip Quake 64 and Quake 2 64, since they seem to just be kind of remixes of the PC game. I’d rather play Doom 64, since that’s a whole different game.
While I was waiting for the Quake 2 patch the past few weeks, I tried out Wolfenstein 3D and finished the first episode, but it was kinda boring. This week I played through the second episode and it’s pretty much the same. I think the game is a bit too basic for me. It’s crazy that Doom came out not even two years later and is just such a massive improvement. I’ll probably play through the third episode as well, just to kill Hitler, and then I’m done with the game. Since the Steam release just used Dosbox, I swapped that for the ECWolf source port, which has a few more modern features and QoL improvements.
I’m also done with Pillars of Eternity: The White March, the two expansions to the game. I wasn’t really that into it, but I knew if I didn’t play through them this week, I’d probably never do it. Taking that break for Divinity 2 just killed all my enthusiasm I still had for the game. There were some good moments, but I’m not a fan that this was just slotted in the middle of the base game. While you’re on the clock and deal with some world ending threat, you just take a few months off and do the same somewhere else. Still glad I can finally put this game down and eventually play Pillars 2.
Lastly, I started Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It’s my first time with the Pathfinder system, and I had a really tough time deciding on my character. In the end, I went with a Scaled Fist Monk, because I want to punch people. I’m still really early, I made it out of the tutorial yesterday and saved the merchant from the Bandits earlier today. I’ll take it slow for now and get used to everything.
