Nah, I never forgot. Some of us have good memory, Captain Bone Spurs.

Ah you had me going for a second there.

The resurrected corpse of Black Isle should redo Fallout 3 and 4 using the Fallout 2 engine and isometric view. Also fix the stories.

It is hard and expensive. It is also worth every red cent, every drop of sweat. It is the best thing I ever did.

Don’t be afraid. Have a plan, take the plunge, and improve your life.

Another issue, those people aren’t on here. Or reddit. We’re preaching to the choir and idk what to do outside of standing outside of a Gamestop and trying to lecture people about MTX, but that seems like a good way to get ignored or beat up.

Correct. Excellent writeup of that whole Telltale Games shitshow.

Parent your kids instead of constantly demanding the government do something. Obviously it’s hard, two parents working/single parent working full-time, everything is expensive, shit sucks. But you also signed up to have kids. At least try to do them a solid and raise them well, and stop asking the already too large government to try to come up with some more shit.

Of course, why spell it bywaze?

I meant into the well. But yeah, if she got in Its way, I’m sure they’d throw down.

You’d have to bang Sadako for the It Follows thing to go after her. So… God speed!

As a hetero: lol. Thanks, I’m stealing this.

Rent a fighter or warrior pawn since people tend to make them huge and they can carry a lot. Put your camping kit on them. Forget about it for a few hours. Or do what I did, make your own huge warrior pawn instead of scantily-clad sorceror chick #30000, put the kit on him at the start of the game, and literally never think about it again. I spent significantly more time managing the mountains of monster materials I gathered and never really thought about the kit unless I found a better one.

I agree about your point regarding minor inconveniences, but I do not feel it applies in DD2s case. They’re either incredibly minor (art of metamorphosis costs 500RC, or just beat the game), or non-existent. The decision to bring a camping kit was a conscious one and I could have just left it in storage, but I felt the benefits outweighed the costs. I never considered buying a single one of the MTX. Like you said, you get around 4 port crystals per playthrough. Drop one in Bakbattahl, one by the dragonforged, one by the Sphinx shrine, and the 4th wherever. Vernworth, Harve, and two other spots late in the game (very late) get permanent ports, one of which actually replaced one of the others I had placed. If you’re considering buying RC, 1)why 2) just make your pawn a thot, those always get rented.

Old buddy is lying because reasons. There’s better camping kits available in game that weigh less than the paid one and let you get buffs.

It’s a trend. It’s quite literally clearly worthless garbage tacked on as MTX to satisfy some worthless suit, but as long as you don’t just buy a bunch of MTX before even playing a given game, you’d notice none of that shit needs to be bought.

The non-dlc elite camping kit, which is easy to get, weighs less than the DLC kit and lets you cook food for buffs, unlike the paid one. Also, you have 4 characters. Spread the weight around efficiently.

The game made gameplay affecting design decisions around these micro transactions.

Name one, because I beat the whole ass game without even feeling the need to buy any of that easily acquirable in-game for no money stuff. Most of the stuff is for sale at the pawn guild, including the character redesigner. I got enough port crystals to basically cover everywhere I’d want to go regularly. I spent probably 500 RC over a playthrough that got over 10k.

I scrolled through the mtx and… there is literally nothing in there that anyone should ever buy. Exception for the character redesign item, but if this is like first game, you can redesign your character between playthroughs.

I feel like there’s some kinda argument here between the director and whatever suit wanted mtx. That stuff in the store is literally pointless to buy. RC? People will rent your pawn, that’s how you get it. Wakestones? Gold in game.

Only thing I’d consider buying would be the eternal ferrystone, but that defeats the flow of the game, and they aren’t selling it.

Too true.

I actually loved parts of the story from 1. Granted, a lot of it was pointless, shallow, needed expansion, better written characters, so on and so forth. But every scene with the dragon was enthralling. A lot of what happened after you beat it was interesting. And idk how to do spoilers here so I’ll be vague, but what happens at the final boss on a second playthrough blew my mind. I had no clue, and it had been hundreds of hours since, so my jaw literally dropped.

Depends on the currency and where you’re from, but when it’s written 3500$ its typically because that’s how it’s pronounced. Thirty five hundred dollars. It’s not a hard and fast rule.
