Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The saddest thing is that with the destruction of the media over the past 20 years, I'm still waiting to hear whether it's actually any good or not.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's super fuckin good. If you liked dos2, it's basically that but with more immersive conversations, more potential dialogue trees, more DnD like, and more titties and dongs.

[–] aJazzyFeel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

i was flabbergasted to see titty and (various) dodongos on my character just like that. it's rad as fuck! I've spent the past 2 hours pretty much just reading flavor text. 100% worth the asking price, especially since it runs perfectly on my potato pc on ultra.

What is that? A character in Act 2?

[–] KirinMizuki@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It’s good, best with a group

[–] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Definitely not unless your group is insanely dedicated to keeping it serious. All it takes is one person who doesn't care about lore or the story or some NPC talking to rush through something or make a joke and completely take you out of it. I could never play it in a group on my first serious play.

[–] Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Just like regular D&D!

[–] utopianrevolt@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

it's best in any format, imo. shaping up to be my all-time favorite game.

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

The group glitch where someone can’t leave your party once they join is pretty bad.

[–] Samuraipizzacat@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's very good. Larian studios really went above and beyond with the level and attention to detail. The replayability is incredible. Most streamers are still on act one and there is no shortage of stuff to do. Edit: autocorrected a word

[–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Latharian studios

Guessing some kinda typo/autocorrect business going on here, but just to cover the bases, it's Larian, not Latharian.

[–] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think part of the reason there's so few reviews is that the game is so large that not my reviewers have finished it yet. Or at least a lit of what I'm seeing are "reviews in progress"

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

What are you even talking about

[–] errer@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Fucked a tiefling with my dragon penis, 10/10

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It’s fantastic, if you have any familiarity with d&d and enjoyed that experience then you’ll love this.

[–] KarmicSquish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It’s good. It may well be my favorite game, ever.
