I’m really curious about your ranking of A new hope here. And you didn’t mention revenge of the sith. I mean I think I understand what that means, but I don’t understand it
I think ep 4 is largely boring. Maybe seen it too many times?I’m really curious about your ranking of A new hope here. And you didn’t mention revenge of the sith. I mean I think I understand what that means, but I don’t understand it
I would personally put rogue one and rots at 4 and 5 after the original trilogy but with a pretty healthy gap after jedi.
man that's nuts to me, but you can have your opinion I guess
I feel like A New Hope is just about the perfect adventure movie. It all fits together perfectly. The characters are great, the music is incredible, the pacing is spot on; it just all works perfectly imo. Meanwhile I think RotS, while still a pretty good movie overall, really falls flat in a lot of places. It's got great ideas, but it's a pretty badly made movie imo. Far and away the best of the prequels, but so much of it just doesn't work for me.
The prequels just have far more compelling stories than ANH. A lot more thought went into them.man that's nuts to me, but you can have your opinion I guess
TWO or THREE 18's !? Shadowheart is integral!@LOGiK Dark Urge is wild. I just had to roll 2 or 3 18's in a row to resist killing Shadowheart in camp. If I ever do an evil playthrough I'm 100% doing Dark Urge and just giving in to it all day long
I'm level 8 now, and I think I'm coming to the end of act 2. Though I'd have thought I was coming to the end of act 1 before the Underdark and there was still quite a bit left, so who knows.
I agree with this sentiment, but I wholeheartedly disagree that the prequels provide that more than ANH. The writing, directing, and acting undermine any of the big emotional beats written into the prequels aside from the shot of Anakin on Mustofar with tears in his eyes. But that doesn’t match luke looking into the dual sunset or the joy of Han coming back.
I used some inspiration and potions to do it but yeah. I had other options that I’m not sure how they’d have worked. I'm honestly curious it I'd eventually kill everyone it I let dark urge dictate every time.
I'll admit I'm more forgiving than most people with directorial and writing faux-pas if the substance of the plot and character development make up for it. I don't hyper-analyze scenes too much. Just want the emotional experience.
Grievous never did anything for me as a character. He doesn't feel menacing at all. He's a coward.
Jokes or not, he's a fantastic actor that clearly didn't handle abuse well and continued the cycle until he finally got help and owned up to it. I mean that's the most you can hope for right?
The prequels have the bones of a cool story in them and great soundtrack, I'll give you that. Sadly I really don't think they actually tell a good story on screen imo. Overall I think what really holds it back for me is that Anakin's turn just doesn't land. It's supposed to be the huge emotional moment but it just feels so off. They needed more time for showing some doubt and flaws of the Jedi leading up to it, and also maybe don't jump to immediately slaughtering children and then try to act like he's still conflicted afterword
Killing off Maul was such a blunder. They had this awesome villain with personal history with the main character and just throw him away. At least Clone Wars saved him, but think how much better the movies are with him in all three.
Like I said, I haven't seen the new shows. They certainly could have taken it too far. But injuries have always been nonexistent in star wars; you either die or it goes away immediately.
I'm still shocked at how they went about that. So much responsibility when making the sequels, and they had Abrams and Johnson barely collaborating at all. They each just did their own thing. No surprise when the trilogy doesn't feel cohesive in the slightest.
Yeah inspiration is good to bank exactly for those kind of do or die situations. I serial kill murdered every single gob in the gob camp (for bragging about their raid on the inn) and the big orc guy and set the owlbear babe free (hopefully to come back to camp) then I get inside the goblin fort and it is MOORRRRRREEE goblins I don't have the time or patience to serial murder
so I just walked through with deception. I have the priestess alone and side tracked toget that nightsong thing, finally figured out the puzzle and snuck by the gigantic guard by my summons bear, she don't like him she forgot about me haha.
so I may just rescue the druid find the nightsong - maybe maybe maybe save that eejit volvo 
I mean they kinda ruined that with Episode 9. Rey and Ben were healing anything and everything they wanted. But it seems like they stab at least 1 person a series now who stays alive.
You wouldn't need to turn it off, it's not on by default. It starts on Custom and you have to choose to play as Dark Urge as your background. It's on the same screen as where you can choose to play as Astarian or Shadowheart etc.
I'm still mostly against recharging spells on short rests, but less than I was before. On one hand, it just makes the casters way better and takes away Warlock's one advantage over them. On the other hand, it's so easy to long rest that it's kind of already how it works, it just takes longer.
Also I have no idea what's wrong with concentration spells, they work exactly how they're supposed to. Unless it's just another pure buff for casters, who are already the best characters for most of the game (probably around level 5 or 6. Higher level spells are just so good. I think I finally have some level of magic item that is relevant to the character in every slot, but that took some time to get to that point. A few are still pretty simple +1 enchants.
I have done almost no pickpocketing, especially since I killed my RogueLevel 8? Goooodnessssss. I spent way too much time looting and pickpocketing the gob merchant in camp and really have to pick up the pace.... I do see a gigantic store room of explosive powder in the goblin temple thing
(personally-- outside of the inn raid on wes... whatever the inn name was, I have no quarrels with the gobbo's. They never fought me once, come to think of it they were after someone else every single fight. Or I was doing something for someone else to lead to fight. So I have no real problem with these peoples, gobs are peoples too =]
Also I actually just did the nightsong quest this weekend. That's a longer trail that leads into act 2.
Yeah it's essentially a joke now. The original movie made it a sacred thing to be a Jedi and wield a Lightsaber.
1 We spoke about it last time, I still can not remember one box in the whole of that character creation! There has to be some game file with my character profile to read the code if DU is yes or no.1You wouldn't need to turn it off, it's not on by default. It starts on Custom and you have to choose to play as Dark Urge as your background. It's on the same screen as where you can choose to play as Astarian or Shadowheart etc.

3I would be suspicious of people adding and fixing how spells work in the game, because typically random folks aren't as good at designing games as game designers

5I have done almost no pickpocketing, especially since I killed my Rogue
6I didn't really plan to kill all the goblins, but I made someone in the fort mad at me in a conversation and all hell broke loose
the insta-spells are needed from differing gear it gets tedious So you achieved a balance by 8 (i'm almost 5) yeah I can see 3 more levels worth of gear --that I most certainly WILLLLL NOTTTTT be giving to Gabe to eat-- gabe? gale... whatever... =P Every insult I picked to them in the party they liked haha.... took it as a compliment... well, they weren't higher up ones though... so yeah.
Just checked. That is a no.
So I ended him and took his weapons, which are decently cool green gear.
))
I can deny it a lot of the time no problem, but it seems to be hinting that denying it may be what's building up into the bigger blow-ups? Sometimes there are saves too. The time I lost a companion to the Urge wasn't directly. I killed someone else because of the urge, and then instead of hiding it I came clean and a companion tried to kill me for it, so I had to kill them instead
But it's still kind of a mystery to me (in and out of character).After all this time I've rescued volvo and liam (from the druid camp initially) and I'm about to save Haslin, which is in bear form... lucky I found that out from the prisoner Liam - or I may have mistaken him for a wild bear. ***but I examined him before anything (as I do most times and before battles and it says he is a level 5 druid. So that is/was another clue not to kill him***
That torturer guy was about to do something torture wise to me to release some pain but he glitched out to my bear familiar which I'm guessing is from his encounter with Haslin... because he says "NO NOT AGAIN" and runs away
(still didn't do the 3 goblin kill quest line, not sure if I will really. (I still do serial murder them when I can single them out (they almost always follow and chase my bear into dark corners
5 is a big level for everyone getting a lot stronger if you're sticking with a single class for everyone.
