But it would not promote playing 24/7 at all, quite opposite, I believe.
As I mentioned but vaguely before - amount of "reload penalized experience" might not be fixed - but it could be non linear and adapt to when exactly and how frequent it happens.
Let's say that, if you reload a save from a different date, then what is today - you do not lose any exp at all.
But well, yes, there also might be some other "challenges" with this basic idea.
Rolling back the driver is usually the cure all for this sort of issue and stop automatic updates on drivers. But One thing you might try, is instead of getting the game ready driver get the studio version of the same driver. I have no idea if it will work for you but that worked for me on another game where I had a similar undefined issue. So no guarantees but might be worth a try. If you have GEForce Experience installed that's very easy to do.
bit late here - like a year rofl. I never minded the horns if I'm honest - that would mean I hate tieflings as well and I don't. It was the eyes changing I disliked the most about that transformation. Windows to the soul and all that. Thankfully there is a mod on the Nexus that allows you to either remove the transformation entirely or allow it but keep his human eye - which was the option I went for. Its called Wyll's Mirror by Anshela. it works on patch 8, I tried it on my last playthrough. Of course neither the game or Wyll himself recognises that he looks human or has human eyes instead of what Mizora is supposed to have changed him into - but you can't have everything I guess, that would be the same if you used consol commands as well.
I've been wondering about a possible narrative parallel in Baldur's Gate 3.
After reading the in-game alchemy notes about Haskinn Xhesilaphin and Nikros,
I learned that Haskinn used a mind-reading potion and discovered that his closest friend, Nikros, intended to poison him. Nikros wasn't acting out of hatred—he couldn't bear to watch Haskinn continue suffering from his deteriorating health and believed death would be a mercy. Haskinn then killed Nikros first.
What struck me is how similar this feels to the story of Ansur and Balduran. Ansur also wanted to end the life of someone he deeply cared about because he believed it was the only way to spare him from a fate worse than death. In turn, Balduran (the Emperor) killed Ansur in self-defense.
The circumstances are obviously different, but the emotional core seems remarkably similar: a beloved friend decides that death would be a mercy, and the intended victim ultimately kills that friend instead.
It almost feels like a smaller-scale Dragonborn retelling of the Ansur/Balduran conflict.
Was this parallel intentional on the writers' part? Is the Haskinn/Nikros story meant to echo or foreshadow the Ansur/Balduran tragedy, or is the resemblance coincidental?
DLCs are typically low efford expansions that are really expensive for what they are.
DLC covers a wide array of things these days.
From your cash shop cosmetics, to full blown expansions.
Which honestly hasn't changed at all since pre-"Downloadable" days either.
Before then you had bunches of low effort stuff like how Sims had you buy entire expansion disks to get like 1 new feature (A practice that continues to this day. With Sims games still having thousands of dollars worth of DLC each adding 1 new feature and/or a handful of new items). Just as you had expansion disks that would provide large amounts of content (Including stand-alone games, such as Black & White Creature Isle)
DLC and "Expansions" are essentially the same thing. The only difference is the way they're shipped. DLC's can be downloaded from a server, while expansion packs often required you to acquire the physical disk to install from (With a code in the box to prevent piracy)
This of course, opened up the way for "Cash Shops" with DLC, as it's much easier to sell people a $20 skin when they preview and purchase it in game rather than having to go to a store and pick up a disk and then go home and install it. Even more so when children can have their parents credit cards attached to their account allowing them to easily shell out tens of thousands of dollars on gacha garbage because they can access the funds without their parents knowing.
DLC vs "Expansions" is a moot argument as they are the same thing. It's entirely down to the scope of what they provide than the means of their distribution.
Update: Part 3, Chapter 29 & 30 is now published. This concludes Part 3. Hope you enjoy it!
BG3.5 - Hellraisers (Fanfiction) Baldur's Gate 3.5: Hellraisers - an original fanfic story that is a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic: The Afflicted. It picks up immediately after the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as characters from the previous fanfic - Fiovay, Kai, Aelun, Vlyn, and the other members of their party - travel to Avernus. Their quest is to save Karlach but also to hopefully find and rescue Darson, Aelun's father, from the clutches of Demogorgon.
The bigger problem is how they handwaved her not able to touch someone, because it would burn the person, but her clothes, bedrolls, Clive and everythin gshe touches can deal with it very well.
I love Karlach, she is one of my favourites, but this drives me crazy
Hi everyone, I don't know if there is still active help about this game, especially since hunger from beyond is additionnal content but I hope someone will be able to help me wth this.
Well I am trying to reunite all pieces of the devourer set. For the third part, on nameless isle, I followed all instructions: follow the red arrows, get into the cave near Zor's temple, put a small flame rune into the dragon skull. Every time, I get bitten by the dragon and attacked by undead fanatic lizards. But no way to get the leggings. I tried several things: going in alone after firing everyone in my party, even Delorus, different rune sizes, reloading several saves, thinking maybe I did something that prevented the script to run correctly... But even alone, if it is the first thing I do when I set foot on the isle, I get attacked, and no pants.
I read somewhere that being attacked is the behavior when we put the wrong rune in the skull. I don't really know what to do since I always put a flame rune. I thought maybe since my game is in french, the name of my rune is not the correct one but it would be rather strange.
Well here I am, stuck and condemned to not be able to finish the devourer set. I could not find anyone on the internet seeming to have the same problem.
If someone has a hint, or knows about this, I would be glad to get some advice !
I always thought the armor system for boots and gloves was a bit awkward too, especially when you find a cool magical item and then realize your class can't use it because it's classified as medium or heavy. In my home games, we just handwave that a bit and go for what fits the story rather than the strict mechanics, because it can really kill the excitement when loot becomes useless for half the party. When I need to get new riding gear or gloves in real life, I look for shops that actually get the needs of different riders. Not everybody fits in the same gear, and it makes a world of difference to have options for every style and build. There’s a good spot if you’re looking for rider-centric gear and aftermarket parts at https://roguepowersports.com/, big range and they seem to know exactly what real riders want.
