wow that overpriced but the cpu and Gpu will halp... a Windows 10 OS would run better but extra Ram and a faster drive [later down the road] should help play your modern games

Realistically, Common would probably be, as stated by some people previously, closer to American English most of all (on account of WotC being based in US), so any localization attempts will be secondary in their interpretations based on that very aspect. Therefore, what it lingustically supports is implied to be, for the most part, whatever English allows. Meanwhile something like Das Schwarze Auge is German by default, with most explored/"default" cultures rooted in the medieval Central/Western Europe and the use of the language is meant to reflect that.

Whereas with the state of the FR I agree with Sozz in that it is meant to be marketable and "modern", what with WotC being a big name company and all, so alterations are made to "keep up with the times", as it were. The current idea of how the setting works and what it supports, despite the fact that culturally it essentially got a rewind after the Second Sundering (5e was specifically meant as practically a "never mind, let's go back to how things were" after 4e's fiasco). I touched on those (the cultural aspects) in the opening post, and yes - despite it being almost a good century and a half between the pre-Spellplague and the modern days, most communities still function and think with the same mindsets as back then, which could be seen as a way of coping with the world finally returning to its pre-cataclysmic state. If anything, there are even cases of reduced acceptance and tolerance, reflected in the game (the Elturel tieflings post-Descent). If anything, Larian are pushing the envelope as to what WotC would probably consider "safe" with their writing and content.

Basically, the modern presentation of the FR is as much a product of its time as the attempts to market it to teens and young adults operating upon the trends of the early 2000's and the turn of the decade - take the M:tG artwork from those eras to see what they were considering marketable (cleavages, anime-ish artstyles, attempts to appeal to the MMO crowd... seeking mostly the "standard" male audience). The mindset and the mission behind the marketing has changed, but it's still, at the end of the day, marketing - appealing to some and turning others off, just like before. For better or worse.

Well Green Hags are Neutral Evil, which isn't something I was arguing. Humans/dwarves are of course part of nature. I wasn't arguing that either.

I was simply refuting that Hags are not part of nature and challenging Bardhuk to show how hags were NOT part of nature and how they disrupt natural cycles.

The cynic in me says: "Because they've decided that buffing and debuffing is boring, and they don't want people to do it, because they don't want to do it themselves. They want people to focus on big flashy things, because that forward advertises better."

Hi trying to connect to my friends game where I have bein playing lazeal. Now when trying to connect it says joining failed: the session has no controllable characters available. ask the host to free a character slot or recruit another character. I do not have my own character on this save I have just been playing lazael. Please let me know if there is any other info needed to help!!!

I don't have any better evidence than the 5ish seconds of trailer. It's just a hunch. I have two more hunches-- first, Sven has stated that the origin characters you don't select become unavailable (I'm guessing because they get mind controlled by Absolute or become mind flayers, or whatever), but that there would be new members afterwards. Why force a selection if you were just going to repopulate your camp with more squadies later anyway? It only makes sense if they were trying to limit story permutations on the origin characters. Subsequent characters could be relatively simple narratively. Second, Minsc is a beloved character and he is voiced by a D&D celebrity, how can they expect any of their origin characters to compete? Lazel or Karlach would have a real hard time making the cut over Misnc as your front-liner? It just makes sense for a slot to open for either of Minsc or Jaheira.

Oh yes, this time i expressed myself poorly ...
I mean it as three separate situations, not three possible outcomes in same.

That would be perfectly valid answer.

---

In mo tabletop veteran either, i get to one group and played cca 1,5y long campaign by now. And luckily for me, i really resonate well with our DM. ^_^

Still ... it would depend a lot on context ...
When i roll with clean intention, and tht intention isnt reflected in the outcome ... i ask.

I just asked him on Discord, and he confirmed the same ... he tryes to describe situations as clear as possible, but if someone have doubts, there is nothing easier than ask.

Well we use SHIVTR's forum. You CANNOT BEAT its party scheduling system. Has a roster that can be updated with everyone's multiple characters -- and time zone accurate party scheduling.

We do have a system in discord as well that works great. I leave it up to the guild leader in each Tyrs game chapter if they want tousae the forum or discord. There is no universal RIGHT system. The right system is the one your guildies actually USE!! :)~~~

Thanks for sharing! That does sound positive, especially as he’s coming at it from the perspective of a non D&D fan. After watching that review, I’m actually now thinking I’ll venture to the cinema to see it after all, whereas I was previously thinking I’d wait for streaming options.

Used to to do 40-men WoW raids back as the shaman class leader in my guild, back then. We even achieve some decent results at the time, like first Onyxia and Ragnarok kills in our server and for an Italian guild.

Ah, the good old times... I wouldn't go back to play that stuff if I was paid to do it.

Yeah, but that would ruin the joke.

The "problem" with all these good suggestions is that they start from the assumption that Larian wants to prevent or at least contain exploits.
Disappointingly enough this couldn't be further from Larian's goals, which is to embrace and endorse exploits as a way to "reward" players for "being clever", as Swen Vincke confirmed explicitly in several circumstances, like his famous DOS 2 post-mortem presentation at GDC. Here it is, directly from the horse's mouth (57:36).



"We did it on purpose. We did it because we know players like to glitch the game, so..."

What this angle doesn't take into account, sadly, is that players will always find ways to break systems and exploit mechanics anyway, so ideally the designer's work should be to minimize the holes in the keg to avoid the spilling, rather than adding their own drilling on the wood to make it more amusing.

So was Bilbo, when Gandalf wrote that rune on his doors ...

Oh I totally agree, but the game gives you every opportunity to challenge the Goblins directly - in a law enforcement role - and to back down/leave or face your justice.

I think what William85 was arguing was that if a goblin is just walking about and is not attacking him that he should be allowed to just straight up attack without any conversation. That's an extraordinarily bad idea for a number of reasons - not least of all that he is violating his oath by not seeking a peaceful resolution first. But especially if they are holding prisoners (which we already know they are doing) and so a little subterfuge and diplomacy is WAY better there.

Oath of Vengeance probably gives you a lot more leeway in regards to who you attack, but IT'S NOT a "License to Kill" either. Your "no mercy" rule only applies to your sworn enemies. If you decide Goblins are your "Sworn enemies" then so be it but it seems like a waste of a "sworn enemies" card.

Hey there all, new to posting to the forum.

I had a question and it is no doubt rooted in my minimal understanding of the engine so far. It's my second day learning to manipulate it. I was able to create a unique item with stats of my choosing and to finally get the "Cannot find item group" issue to abate. Now my focus has turned to trying to make said unique item compatible with Sorcerous Sundries.

To this end, I opened up the "CMP_LevelUpEquipment" project and I was trying to analyze it to see how the logic of combining Diamond Dust and etc works so that I could try add my item to that logic pool. Upon opening "CMP_LevelUpEquipment" and taking a look at the "LUE_Diamond_Dust_A" object in the editor panel, I see a "Stats" reference, namely: "LUE_Diamond_Dust". I thought this might be my entry point to seeing where it attaches to the stats panel.

However, I've looked through the Shared, Shared: DOS, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 groups and haven't found a single item by that reference. There is a project in the Stats Editor called "Shiny Gear" but since its completely void of entries it's pointless to even mention it. "Where is this LUE_Diamond_Dust skill entry?" my brain wonders.

My question would then be, how can I find out how the Sorcerous Sundries add-on changes the crafting logic, and would it be possible to add a custom unique item to that pool to also make it upgrade-able in the same way?

Thank you in advance for any help offered to a fellow novice modder.

Ok, I see. I never tried the back alley indeed. It shouldn't be more difficult that way, I concur. Perhaps Larian wants to give a benefit to those who use proven tactics and attack the Gnolls from the rear (even if only by chance)?

Soooooo where best to start here... For the text marked in yellow, a uniform variant should be chosen. So either a numbering with ordinary numbers or Roman numerals.

In the case of the text marked in blue, the female context of Captain Morgig emerges. I don't have any more screenshots, but in other volumes it is reported that she has a female Goblin friend and has a little fling with the Lord of Barovia or something like that, which is further evidence for a female Captain Morgig and this should be translated clearly accordingly. Therefore, it should read as follows: "[...] Erlebnisse der Kapitänin eines interplanaren Schiffs erzählt. Kapitänin Morgig hat in Wahrheit ihre [...]". In the titles of the individual books it must read correspondingly "[...] Abenteuer der Tenebrux Morgig [...]".

I would highlight the two terms marked in orange with "- signs. "Gähnendes Portal" & "Junge Braut".

The word "Ruder" does not necessarily need to be replaced, but could be made clearer with "Steuer". The word rudder is used in German almost only for lifeboats and canoes or the like, otherwise there is almost only talk of the "Steuer" (helm).

Please replace the Gallicism "malaise" with the German equivalent: "[...] solch Unbehagen [...]".






Okay, now it's getting more challenging. There is no 100% good German equivalent for the Gaelic name Carlisle. One nickname comes closest to the German and that is "Karlissel" --> https://www.kinderinfo.de/vornamen/jungen/carlisle/ What would also be a possible good alternative is the following derivation -> Carl --> Karl --> Carlisle --> Karlheinz (old fashioned German name which fits a medieval fantasy setting). Also compare my last post on this, right at the beginning of Last edited by Lotus Noctus; Sat Apr 23 2022 06:59 AM. It involves several books, but I've only found one title (A Lustful Pact) now.



Here it must also correctly read: "[...] im Schatten [...]" & "[...] Euer Weib [...]".


According to the title, it should be called "Pakt" and not "Park".



Gallicism can please be replaced as follows:

First you have to have it enabled , cross-saves is an option to tik box

Then your network allows it to upsync and finally yes if you then delete the save locally it can be recovered by using a different computer or a fresh install of the game... The actual steps depend on which build of the game and what system but as a side issue running discord on the same system as the game is a bad idea

( a Thumbs Up option/icon on these forums would be sweet. It seems to be called "Topic Ratings" in the Ubb Threads system.)

Greetings,
as I understand Pet Power, it should let my Summoner imbue all summons of the party. But in our multiplayer game, I couldn't imbue my friends' Bloated Corpse, Bone Window, or Hungry Flower. Even after I took control of both my Summoner and the other summoning character via Party Management, I still couldn't imbue their summons. We activated the mod only after many hours in the game.

Is that right or a bug? If the former, what does Pet Power do then?

Thank you for any enlightenment
Raban

Larian moved the location of mods a number of patches ago but it's possible old mods were copied over. And they changed the weights by 1000 in one of their patches.

Hello,

The games produced by Larian Studios are beautiful, but there are a few hiccups when it comes to online play.

I'd like to recommend Steam Datagram Relay (SDR), a proposed private gaming network system developed by Valve, which is even available in an open source version.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay

SDR has really solved networking problems in many games for me and I hope you will seriously consider integrating it in your games.

Best regards,
wordlesswind

if that is implemented correctly it would surely help. Especially since you end the turn of your character by pressing "end turn". Theoretically you could undo everything your char did (even though i tihnk that eould be too much). Undo move would be really good since it happens pretty often that i want to do something like casting a spell, move closer and am still not in range.

But do open a separate thread for that topic. Removing shove is too important for adding something else to this one :P.
