  1. Yeah it’s just… super dead. It’s not coming back
  2. And the real issue with #485168 is: you don’t keep sweetbreads in a breadbox! They’re meat!
  3. Request: If such a trainer is made, please include the phrase "invest in yourself"
  4. It is not an affirmative response. It is a negatory response, and that means the german translators got it wrong
  5. Joke getting is actually an important part of a translator's job! I understand, I definitely worked with enough ESL ppl in my life so far to realize that sometimes a dialogue feels off. But in this case, I feel like the reason for the vibe is because the original dialogue... is bad? It's not incongruent, which is why I don't believe it warrants fixes. It is simply bad. The writers wanted to have their cake and eat it too, and somehow keep the thing where you can insult Viconia on every opportunity because she's a Bad Bitch you can be Mean to, but also, she needs to be horny and desperate for Charname. And it sucks, it's embarassingly trite writing when you look at this from a perspective of a human being in the year of our lord 2022, rather than a fantasy writer in, uh, 1999.. But it's perfectly in line with itself.
  6. I think what bears repeating is that Viconia is kinda of a huge bitch, because even despite her personal tribulations, she's written to be as a member of a race whose daily greetings are "fuck you hail spider satan", and you can spend the entire romance saying absurdly mean stuff to her. She's fine with it.
  7. Because they convey a different meaning. 27512 = "i do not find you appealing" -> 27518 = "i am actually a very sexy female and maybe i WILL make you find me appealing wink wink" 27516 = "i am not interested in having sexual relationships with you" -> 28057+27525 = "listen, charname, i NEED to fuck, and you are really mean by saying no " (this is, by the way, certified freak behavior: if your partner does not respect your boundaries, it's a red flag and you should at least seriously discuss this. A lot of Viconia's romance is EXTREMELY late 90s "what nerds think being with a dommy mommy is like" by any human standard.)
  8. @Jazira @Salk I feel like you guys are extremely missing the forest for the trees regarding that Viconia exchange? You have three options, one very negative, one neutral (please, for the love of god, not wanting to have sex with someone desperately crawling into your bed to seek comfort after telling you about their brother is NOT a negative behavior), one positive already. It's not exactly new or outside of Viconia's character to disregard barbs pointed at her when she wants something from you. The text is unambigouous and perfectly understandable. From the item description, duh.
  9. A way to think about it is that (5,1) means „there are 5 random outcomes of equal likelihood; this is the value returned for the first of them”. (1,5) would similarly mean „there is 1 outcome of equal likelihood, this is the value returned for the fifth of them”, and the fifth roll of a 1-sided dice will always return a 1.
  10. In 2e they still had Baleful Polymorph, might be that
  11. Did u know: Tempest, who has been making these decisions, went on a big fun posting spree on SA about how dating an undead such as a wraith is the most evil necrophilia imaginable
  12. Quoting this for posterity so that if you ever decide to become a decent human person you won’t be able to pretend you never wrote this vile word vomit.
  13. Is the username you chose some sort of ironic joke?
  14. Oh lord. Yes, absolutely change it
  15. Damn OP how awful. I hope whoever’s responsible will be brought to justice
  16. Like I know you’ve never written a single post in good faith but have some fucking shame.
  17. Okay I’m sorry I can cede that you sometimes have insights about baldur’s gate modding but you don’t know shit about animals, taxonomy, nor animal husbandry. It’s insane, and at best, very stupid, to claim that only domesticated ducks are ducks
  18. I think that we're all bonking our heads against the fact that in any D&D game, a mage is so much more powerful than any other class that it's not even funny. They make a joke of the action economy and the only way to really balance it at all would be to remove summons
  19. Between the original post, and the guy whose posting arc took a swerve from "Fury Road is bad" to "all women are worse than men and having a female lead role is political correctness". This thread sucks so much. Can we close this
  20. Hi! This is indeed possible, because the classic BG2 engine has actions 247 SetToken(S:Token*,I:STRREF*), and 248 SetTokenObject(S:Token*,O:Object*). Those tokens are not saved between games though, so you'd have to run those actions in the script of a creature using them on a load. Also, the tokens don't have their values updated dynamically, just by script, so it's not exactly like <GABBER>.
  21. Hi Cam, Please make Resurrection work as Heal when cast on live party members. 2.6 """"fixed"""" this long-standing game mechanic for literally no reason Love, Syl
