Yesterday I posted a picture of the tower I made while waiting for my friend to get back. Last night we worked together to extend the tower to new heights.

With the original tower, you could right click the top box and click Climb On to ascend. You can only reach about half way up on this one.

You exit the designated camp area about 20 boxes down from where I am in the screenshot and it's nearly impossible to climb back down. But that's ok because you're far enough away to Go To Camp.

10 down and you can no longer interact with the boxes at all. You have to left mouse click to "walk" onto them as if it was the ground.

This is the result of collecting pretty much every box pre-goblin camp minus 10-20 or so that broke in the process.

There's a real missed opportunity by Larian here where if you get up high enough and pass a DC30 perception check the skybox turns into a DM screen on one side and four nerds looking down at you from the other.

That would be awesome. When we played Conan I made a few secret quests for my friends

Only wanted to meet 3 of you? Damn, that's harsh.

But seriously. That was really cool to watch.

Glory to the builders. Are you a dwarf by chance?

Konkey Dong is a half-orc bard who throws barrels at plumbers trying to ascend his tower.

Unfortunately this causes the tower to collapse!

Oh the humanity!

A truly beautiful sentence, and maybe a perfect character idea. There's some bonus storytelling from the "cannot move, character downed" text in the screenshot you attached, which only adds to the lore.

Dongs will do that

Did you have the Let's Game it Out hold music in your head while building it?

(For those who don't know, go check out the Let's Game it Out channel on YouTube. Minor apologies if you end up not doing anything else for the remainder of the day.)

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't but I'm a big fan lol

This is the kind of content I love to see on here.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure I'll have an update in a few days. There's a ton of crates to acquire at the goblin camp...

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll will be following this saga with great interest

We're here playing Baldur's Gate and this guy's over there playing Baldur's Crate. We are not on his level.

[–] Escew@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Knock it down now! Man I can’t wait to play this game.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

While trying to add to the top I fell and broke a crate, causing all my friends to fall and die. I've got a great clip of it but I want to edit out the audio before I upload it lol

[–] Blapoo@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are playing this game far better than I am!

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

After beating it 3 times solo, I've run out of new Larian-provided quests to do so I've had to make my own goals lol

[–] Risus_Nex@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The dedication is admirable. Reminds me of the time I reloaded my save point for maybe 50 times, because I desperately wanted to persuade Ethel to let the girl go AND give me my reward! But I never succeeded on the roll, even tho I got advantage and 3 Inspiration. In the end I gave up and just killed that (w)/*itch as I should have the first time.
