  • Someone introduced me to a pornbot AI for shiggles. I managed to give it PTSD. I managed to make the personality flip to the point of being apologetic in every subsequent response. I kind of feel accomplished...

    Honestly, figuring out how to break them is freaking hilarious.

    I mean, I can understand certain ones that are tailored like a choose your own adventure style story but yeah, the ones where it's like an actual person talking to you skeeve me out.... just saying.
    You know... I don't tout my kids as being paragons of excellence but sweet zombie Jesus, having my niece and nephew in my car for 45 minutes has made me realize my kids are actually well behaved. Never before have I thought about leaving a 15 year old and a 13 year old on the side of the highway but these two made me consider it.
    Probably my last comment about BG3 as this last completely good playthrough was bland enough to make me want to write (NPCs are waaaay too chill about certain things) but it's kind of nice to know that my gut feeling about Act 3 being underwritten is the general consensus of other players. There are whole branches of dialogue that don't make any sense whatsoever. Still a good game but yeah... bad writing is bad.

    It's pretty much that. Out of all the companions, the only one I felt was decently written was Astarion (and I'm not just saying that because I have a bias towards white haired elves with slave issues) because his reaction to certain events during a Durge playthrough felt a lot more like an actual reaction.

    Even the person quests felt lackluster. I mean, Karlach's is straight up fetch quests in Act 2 and then murder one of the final bosses. Which is honestly a shame because she is pretty much a supportive gym-bro type character.

    I could go on about the personal quests but I think Karlach's sums it up really.

    The most hilarious 'not-quite-written-right' scene I got was after the revelation to the party that Durge is responsible for the creation of the main villain of the game before they lost their memories. One character flat out responds with a "do not talk to me" message before exiting conversation but then I can just talk to them right afterwards like nothing happened.

    Huh. Today I learned about the tag "Dead Dove". Never knew that was a thing but hey, learn something new every day.

    Oh i think i think its bc the guy used a hamburger/food container or something/easy to mislead. Bc no available other containers.

    Hence the sticker.
    In case someone mistake it for food and eat it. Or traumatized to see a dead dove.


    That combined with the fact that workplace fridge, is a known trope to have thieves.

    So yeah.

    "Dead dove inside"
    is basically a nuclear warning, that inside the work, you see dark/bad/traumatizing stuff.

    Its nice but.
    I mean...My younger self sure would love this tag existed sooner, as "drama" was just too broad. But "dead dove" tag is kinda too cultural niche nonsense to make sense, that its plain weird and impossible to understand, unless googling it.
    And it exude guro vibes=bad.

    I agree, it's a little too broad in my opinion but I guess it's better than not having it.

    People are inventive. In BG3, you encounter a corpse with a curse that deals damage all around it. People figured out that you can pick it up, put it in a chest and then chuck it at enemies like a bomb. And here I thought switching to an alternate character to steal a barrel of explosives during a cut scene was clever.
    "And it was all a dream", while funny as certain proposed endings (Harry Potter would have been a lot funnier...), is not the best way to end a transmigration novel. Especially when the main character wakes up before we learn the fate of the villains.

    All isekai, regression, transmigration and possession are just people experiencing "life review" or "Jacob's Ladder" before death.
    Why yes, Spotify, Moncton is indeed within the same general location of Canada if we consider "near me" to be somewhere in Atlantic Canada.
    So on my most recent BG3 playthrough, I've come to the conclusion that all my companions are incredibly chill about the revelation of my Durge's identity. Like way too chill. So if you ever feel like your writing is bad, just remember, this is a best selling game where everyone is like "Oh that's bad... anyway, how about the weather?" after learning Durge is murder incarnate.
    You know... its kind of weird. 20 minutes seems reasonable for a simple task while half an hour feels way too long.
    Memo to self. Wall of Fire in BG3 is not good to use while I have Friendlies helping me in a battle. Friendlies are stupid and will run through the fire. I will then end up having to kill the Friendlies when they go hostile.
    Fun fact. If you swing a packet of cheese powder (the stuff for Mac N Cheese) hard enough, it'll open on it's own. One packet contains enough powder to coat a medium size kitchen floor in orange dust.
    Additional fun fact. My cat likes cheese, it does not bother his stomach, and he is now like a bloodhound finding cheese powder in random spaces the broom could not fit. He is also very happy.
    "Bad news, children: you're all going to die."
    That's the sound of me trying to resist playing a snarky character and failing because I discover new options like that because I never talked to this NPC before.
    Some days I feel lonely with no one else in this huge office. Other days... I'm glad no one sees me fumble at picking up a peice of paper.
    Huh, apparently I woke up at 4 am, texted my husband about laundry and then went back to sleep. I have no recollection of this. Well, its better than drunk texting I suppose.
    So played through BG3 as an Evil Dark Urge character and man, it's a 10/10 story but I really wanna ask if the writers at Larian are okay cause... yeah....
