Question about the language, is a full on conlang or is it just a cipher for English? I haven't been able to find any information on it.

naw, that's good game design having what you may need to know already baked into it.

i usually enjoy having to figure things out in games. i really liked portal and portal 2, i still haven't finished half-life but i do enjoy the the run, think, shoot, live philosophy of the game, but I always look things up whenever I play an open world game because I don't want to have to bother with having to figure out how to progress, or even if i do bother trying to figure out on my own, the clues i find will be cryptic and I'll just look up a walkthrough or something of the like. this is most prevalent in elden ring, and I especially don't like how there isn't a quest tracker. I believe that requiring a player to take notes to remember what they need to do on a quest is bad game design, even just letting the player look through past dialog would be extremely helpful. i get that there's a certain appeal to that, but I don't get it at all.

anyways, the point is to say that I enjoy puzzles and figuring things out, but I don't like it when things are so cryptic to the point where I have to look up how to do something because never in a million years would I be able to figure it out, and if i do somehow, I'll have absolutely no idea why it works and wonder how on earth I was supposed to figure it out in the first place. would someone with a mindset like mine enjoy tunic? I haven't looked a single thing up about it since all i've heard about it was to not look things up about it.

didn't expect a platform other than Tumblr to have such horrible media literacy :p

aaah yeah that does make a lot of sense, I wasn't thinking about it's role in the world, only the best way I could go about killing it. maybe thats another thing with me and bg3, I don't think enough about the world, moreso how I can abuse mechanics. I do really like the characters though, and I do try and roleplay as opposed to simply being a psychopathic megalomaniac lol

Jump onto the rocks get it to follow me, then jump to another patch of rocks once it gets to me. Have it follow me again, then use a scroll to turn myself into a cloud and GTFO, hopefully have it follow me throughout the lava to slowly kill it. I would have astarion slowly pick it off but at that point it had become immune to piercing damage.

Btw, this was a hail Mary, I didn't have any other ideas, this really was the best I could I come up with. In retrospect, it very well could've gained immunity to melting damage, but it was still worth a shot.

spoilers for baldurs gate 3


so i'm playing baldur's gate 3 right, i'm exploring this cave, and I think "oh, there's a route to that temple of shar over there, i'm gonna jump down and climb a pillar that got knocked down to see what's going on at that temple." only to be greeted to this.

alright, this is fine, there's probably some really cool reveal that they have whenever you get there or something leading up to it. I figure how to work the forge, and I start this boss fight, after 3 party wipes, and I see that none of my attacks are dealing damage to the boss, so I have this idea to use the environment to my advantage and use the lava around the arena to damage it instead. this is what happens when I tried it.

I think outside of the box and i get punished for it? isn't this supposed to be dungeons and dragons, where you can basically do whatever you want to in order to solve a problem and have it work? i mean, my expectations were lowered significantly when i found a ordinary wooden door i couldn't break down (former nethack addict), but come on, this should've came in playtesting.

Huh, didn't know that was possible. I kept save scumming that check specifically and consistently rolled sevens so I thought it was just plain impossible, apparently not :p. Anyways, thanks a lot.

So I need to open the maintenance door below the building right? however, the white check for it is locked, and I can't find any ways of gaining enough xp to level up physical instrument. i've done all the side quests that i could figure out how to do, i've interacted with everything in my inventory, found observation orbs(? if that's what you call them.), talked to a bunch of people, but I feel like i've hit a dead end here. i'm on thursday right now, if that helps at all.

I'm probably going to continue to play final fantasy 14 despite not having finished bg3. i paid 60 dollars for bg3 and yet in the few days i've played it i have more playtime on ff14 than bg3.

OOTL, what practice is this talking about?

so I go to play some inscryption and instead of being greeted to the normal screen when I start up the game I see this??? I got to the part where

spoilers be here


I beat leshy and the I found out about the dude finding the inscryption floppy disk, but other than that I have no clue what this is. Do I just hit the arrow at the top right? Is my save corrupted or something?
