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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Apparently "Rust" was not the appropriate answer to the mechanics question of "I wonder what is holding the license plate on?"
He was asking what type of bolt..
"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.
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....
