This article is hilarious because like the author I didn't know what I was doing and chose bard as my first character (still don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying) and would do a lot of the same tricks he did. Pushing people off a ledge was my go to.

Playing it like a Russian FSB agent: windows are your friend.

Launching Duergar into lava was weirdly satisfying.

When I tried to huck them into the river (specifically the invisible fucker near the boat in the shoreline encounter) and it wouldn't let me? You're gawdamned right, I was ready to be pissed if I couldn't do likewise into the lava. Instead? Karlach tossed every dwarf she should reach... and they actually recorded audio for lava-induced death. 🥹 (At least the actor did for the main dwarf dude, IIRC)

I feel like the careful design of encounters went out the window with Act 3. Twice this week I tried to use Telekinesis to throw someone and couldn't because low railings were in the way. I'm also getting a ton more red lines when shoving people.

And like this, you CAN loot the corpses :p

Repelling eldritch blast, push, throw people, pushing unarmed attacks, pushing superiority attacks, pushing flourishes, repelling arrows... I love my toys.

This mirrors tabletop D&D, which amounts to how much bullshit can we get away with.

Telekinesis. There is even a necklace or ring that has this spell on it. Edit: It:s gloves

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I've been using it, it's great.

I was kinda sad that using Telekinesis to drop a >!Steel Watcher on top of a Gondian!< didn't do more damage.

Weird to claim larian never meant you to play in a manner they specifically gave you the ability to do.

[–] teft@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not a serious claim. It’s a funny article about how the author pushes people off cliffs instead of fighting enemies with swords and magic.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I learned from Dark Souls that the only thing nobody can defeat is gravity. Larian must be fans.

I literally could not beat Viconia. Literally. Could. Not. I tried like 15 times, all different spells, arrangements, tactics, strategies, preparations, party members. Whatever. So I talked to her with a split party and send karlach to dispatch her during conversation in 3 hits. So I cheated. Whatever. Sue me!! I beat all the other bosses fair and square!!!!!
