Disagree. Bat or bird-style wings would absolutely function at that scale, they're just not that different to aeroplane wings. The issue is more to do with the claimed weights of D&D dragons, and how the game claims they fly. What do you mean by reverse? Because you seem to be using a lot of...

Feels like these are very "patient power user who is happy to spend time learning things" ratings, not at all how they'd be rated for someone taking a more "casual" approach to VTTs. Highly appreciate the detailed reviews and pros/cons though, regardless of the ratings those are very helpful!

DLC means downloadable content - i.e. OPTIONAL content you can, if you wish, download (paid or otherwise). It has to be OPTIONAL to be "downloadable content". Otherwise it's just "content"! The subclasses are not optional. They're just part of Patch 8, literally called "The Final Patch" by...

I'll be very interested to see how successful this is. Fan projects using such toolkits have a long, long history of fizzling out somewhere between 10 and 60% of the way through development, usually after making a big splash and getting people very excited. Very few which aren't simply...

Grounded is even bigger than Avowed/Outer Worlds as an Obsidian IP, it's not as high-profile among "gamers" but has sold pretty wild numbers and Grounded 2 sold 600k copies immediately when it launched into Early Access on Steam. Sorry just thought I should add that in! But yeah definitely...

No-one. There will be no DLC for BG3. Larian are the only people who could, because it's made with a proprietary engine that only Larian employees are trained on. It would be expensive and very time-consuming for Larian to licence that to WotC and train WotC studio employees to use it, and...

I mean, maybe they should, but that's not really how WotC work. Even BG3 wasn't made that way. After DOS1, Swen Vincke approached WotC, as several other companies had over the decades, to ask to make a BG3. WotC rebuffed him, like they had other companies, citing "inexperience" on Larian's...

I was thinking about this, and the trouble is, I can't think of any time where that actually happened with AAA game where there was a gap of less than 15 years between "object of inspiration" of "high quality recreation of that formula". Like, often you get a bunch of games aping a formula 5-10...

A Larian BG4 almost certainly could. DOS2 was better than DOS1. BG3 was better than DOS2. There's no reason to believe BG4 by Larian wouldn't have been at least as good as, if not better than BG3, because Larian have been on a straight track of making better and better decisions re: CRPGs for...

You don't even need magic to make a "living X-29" work - a lot of birds and bats have inherently unstable flight configurations in the same way an X-29 does - the brain is doing exactly what "fly by wire" did. That's what makes modern hypermanueverable fighters work (which the X-29 was...

Yaaaaaas the Imperial Agent plotline was amazing, like wall-to-wall facepalm at the insane stuff the Sith wanted to do. It even worked out that way playing the MMO bits. I was playing an Imperial Agent and my wife a Sith Sorcerer (or w/e the double-bladed light saber Sith was called), and oh my...

The two latter concepts are fundamentally interlinked in such a way as to be inseparable, I would suggest. If you want a hummingbird dragon, this lumpen backwards-winged monstrosity is the worst possible starting point. You should start with a smaller dragon, and look at dragonflies (which are...

Last time I played Mothership my PC intentionally detonated a small(ish) nuclear device on his own position. Only two members of the party managed to clear the primary blast radius before it went off. What I'm saying is Mothership is great!

The mindset behind these sort of depictions is so puzzling to me, even thinking about racism as being day-to-day acceptable, which explains the horrific patois. Because like, we see in one of those middle panels, a Black or perhaps bi-racial woman is depicted, like, perfectly normally for a...

I am well aware. That was implicit to literally everything I was saying - I'm surprised that didn't come across. But they're only so good at it. If you could design the body as a whole, you could make that a higher priority and budget more energy towards it etc. That's precisely what I'm...

I mean, Earth is controlled by 5 gigantic megacorporations. Democracy, meaningful choice and freedom have been deleted. Autocrats like Boy Kavalier (WHAT A NAME) rule the planet and anyone living on it is merely their plaything. That's "a boot stamping on a human face- forever", which is like...

More like "Of course we're going to attempt to make BG4, waste an insane amount of money on it, and either cancel it 3+ years into production, or release a game that isn't even a shadow of BG3". I don't even mean that like, meanly. I think that's the only plausible outcome here if they develop...

I think what we may want to recall is that Palpatine is, essentially, an evil wizard driven mad by his own evil magic. People think of him as this political mastermind and a personal manipulator and so on, but he's also like, not sane, and essentially working for and on behalf of evil magic...

I'm afraid it absolutely is. The problem is a comprehension-of-argument one on your end or an explanation-of-argument one on everyone else's end ("No, it is the children who are wrong"), or some slider in-between. No. You can have pointless decorative wings that "flap" however you want, but...
