I will support this, thanks. I love the King Arthur RPG games they made early in their business and were wondering if they were ever getting back to them. I did the Loremaster tier, god damnit, include some lore and I am sold, should have seen the total crap I received from the Battletech campaign, over a hundred bucks for some pdfs that did not provide much lore or anything.

Thanks, I think I will pick up the middle pack, maybe? I want to see if anyone knows how good the relics are first, because that's the only non cosmetic/buff in the packages, quite good from that perspective.

Hehe. I feel ya! Larian should have never called this BGIII.

Exactly what I've always wanted, randomness in my conversations and relationships.

This is a reminder for me to get back to my long war x-com 1 campaign. To be honest, that is such a high watermark for the franchise I couldn't get into x-com 2 without wildly modding it. For X-Com it's just Long War and go.

there's no map or help for the "raven temple". how do I get from there to the underground passages?

I understand the feeling, but it IS a good game.

Since they made me wait a year, I'm going to have to wait for a really good sale before I get it.

Frankly, I was underwhelmed with the Ars review. He doesn’t like the dark, rather hopeless tone, but tries to somehow conflate that as a D&D issue because it’s different than the previous games. D&D is a blank slate and doesn’t have to be a setting where your party and the world’s factions all love you. The tone might not be his cup of tea, but it doesn’t go against anything in D&D. And I’m surprised he didn’t consider that the world - your party & the factions - might evolve in their opinion of you over time. You start as a pathetic nobody apparently, and it’s trite to have everybody automatically know you’re The Hero.

The Ars Technica one has made me hold off for now as well. Sounded like Larian alright...
