games

if I didn't know this was always Act 1 I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was thrown together quickly after they rearranged the game acts

act 1 is 30+ hours

tbf

well

i think they are haphazardly made because

all of act 1 was out

3 years ago

there's some new and rearranged content yea

hey, it helped the msell 1.9M early access copies

I can't call it a dumb move

i never played EA so I knew nothing

no it was smart

even if it feels dumb from a storytelling perspective

but it feels really fucking shit

like the crypt with the respec/class changing skeleton

no character ever mentions it

it has zero story importance

it's just THERE

it's so weird

and the class changing skeleton man just goes YEA I'LL TELL YOU NOTHING IM MYSTERREIOUSSS

ok...

I can't get over this goblin camp

also

I wish I just treated it as a combat encounter

the mind tadpole powers

needing like 20 long rests

to unlock

so you either miss a bunch of story options

idk how you're playing

or spam supplies to unlock the perk tree

wooow

but I hate that you get 1 use per long rest

(by default)

so if you want to go down that story path, you have to spam out sleeps

also

events take precedent over mind tadpole skill tree unlocking

so if you have companion cutscenes queued

or are playing dark urge

you need to rest even more

loool

events can happen and characters can die

from you resting

like if you don't kill the bugbear assassin

lol

i actually like that tbf

but it's like holy shit they don't want you to progress

that's FUNNY

I really liked that

becasue I just happened to notice it

i think there's

probably an achievement for not letting a single tiefling die tbh

that's my gut feeling

because so many can die in different ways

uh, there's not

oh

oh

sad

by the end of the act

yeah, def

yes

that's what i mean

there's two kids

the one lady

the assasisn scenario

etc

and your goal is to escort them out

so i think there's probably an achievement for tjat

I don't think I've had any die yet

though I'm not wedded to their side oranything rn

did you kill the ones that had laebebzese captured

uh, I don't think so

I killed the black companion

no idea if he counts

do you have the fighter girl

that's green

no, I killed her

larzeze

oh

well she starts in a cage with two tieflings capturing her
