@TimmyJim It appears that an unnecessary edit suggestion has been approved. A user has suggested an edit to change all instances of "farther" to "further" in the question. But from my understanding, the OP's use of "farther" was correct. As far as I know, "farther" is typically used to refer to physical distances, while "further" is more commonly used for figurative distances. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/farther

I'm no English major but further sounded better to me :)

Roll it back if you wish. I think you can do that?

Am I the only one who pronounces "typhlosion" TAIF-lotion?

SaintWacko

04:37

Like as opposed to taifFLOsion?

Dannyu NDos

I don't much care about phonetic stresses.

What I was concerned about was the "lotion" part.

SaintWacko

Probably

I think most people pronounce it like "explosion"

@Dragonrage I'm still in Act 1, but my impression is that the story is completely disconnected. It's the same world, but even then the parts relevant in this game so far are quite different. I don't think it matters if you played the earlier games, there are probably some references later but the core story is independent

I think the main question is whether you're comfortable with and enjoy the turn-based combat

If you played the first Dragon Age, and paused a lot, that's roughly how the combat works

the combat rules can be rather overwhelming if you're not familiar with D&D

@MadScientist-onstrike Larian has made a huge deal in promotional material of at least 2 (arguably 3) characters from the original games returning, to the point that they appeared in trailers

And they also already confirmed that you'll be able to add them as party members

@MadScientist-onstrike The big difference compared to other games is the verticality aspect. If you're able to get to high ground with your casters and ranged before the fight, try to do so

@Yuuki I think that's a good idea, considering how they allow you to change almost everything about your team. The only things you can't change are I think 1 or 2 companion's class and their morals, so better to choose companions based on their morals and who you want to romance rather than on their class

Mad Scientist - on strike

This is a long game, I'm at around 26h and just now leaving the first act I think

I also failed one quest by waiting too long, quite a big one. Didn't expect that, but well that's because you never know if the urgency is real or not in games

@MadScientist-onstrike druid grove?

Mad Scientist - on strike

not in the first map, in the other large map

don't want to spoil anyone here

you need to free someone trapped behind collapsed rocks

@Nzall sure, but i'd like to keep character classes fairly close to their backstory. like i can definitely see giving shadowheart some rogue levels or maybe knowledge domain, but life cleric doesn't make sense to me

side note, not a fan of non-armor equipment disabling barbarian's unarmored defense even if they don't give AC

currently running warlock 3/bard X, but i'm thinking the 3rd warlock level might not be worth it. +CHA to hit/dmg is attractive, but maybe i should just stay back and pllink with eldritch blast

Q: Minecraft flying machine not going back

I'm trying to make a bamboo farm after a tutorial, but I got stuck on one important thing. I can't make the flying machine go back to where it left off. If I choose according to the tutorial for the repeater to be on the 4th tick, the flying car destroys my final construction. If I let go at the ...
