Funny how that stuck because of a few adventures you don't ever need if you don't want to play those specific stories, while 5e has pozzed shit even in the main rule books
It is never stated but it's implied that whatever he did either made the universe slowly die or started the Blood War itself.
Also every time he died an innocent person had to die in his stead.
>are night hags really that powerful
any monster can be as powerful as whatever you want. it's fantasy land.
that being said, generally they aren't as godly.
They could be. Technically any intelligent monster could become a world-destroying enemy, especially if they are immortal. Most monsters arn't very ambitious, however, they have a desire they biologically seek to continuously fulfill which is what they do. Hags typically just want to carve out a piece of nature for themselves and have the surrounding wild-life/human villages fulfill their needs. It's rare for a hag to be as ambitious as Ravel.
Pretty much all of DDO is in Ebberron and if you can get over the P2W aspects its truly a great MMO experience.
-Story driven quests
-Traps and skill checks in dungeons
-Group play heavily incentived
-Raids have an actual grand scale and have puzzles
-Character progression is a significant time investment to the tune of years instead of month due to its "prestige" system
-Gear is always useful due to the previous prestige system
Biggest problem is the game is while completely doable without money you at the bare minimum will want sub and one of the epic expansions to level epic levels.

I miss when wRPGs used to have those interesting settings and amazing characters and that they weren't afraid to even use some fanservice like with Annah.
Now every wRPG is some homosexual self-insert fantasy with cynical ultra sardonic nihilists who speak in quirky, ironic lines and all have sex orgies with each other.

The only recent one I've played I can really think of like that was the Pathfinder games and Divinity Original Sin 2. But for Pathfinder it felt a lot more mild in comparison to Divinity where I couldn't stand it. Everything felt like it had to be ironic and couldn't be seen taking itself seriously.
From what little I've seen of Baldurs Gate 3 it at least doesn't seem like it leans into that as hard thankfully.
I get that now, but I didn't know much about going in and Original Sin 2 was my first experience with it. I enjoyed the gameplay far more them I did Pathfinders (Owlcats combat encounter approach feels like I'm suppose to make the most bullshit broken build to have any fun since they just try to make the game more difficult by inflating the stats and throwing more enemies in the mix.
Pathfinders difficulty is fricking terrible for how its balanced, the game wants you to take advantage of a ton of frick-ups it made while importing the rule-set and yet you still get so many people defending it.
It's weird going back from an RPG that allows comedy to one that's dead-serious
I remember playing Tyranny after playing Disco Elysium and just picking some remark that makes fun of the dude who's encased in armor, thinking it would be a light-hearted joke
Turns out it was just the MC playing his criticism straight and the dude got offended
>cynical ultra sardonic nihilists who speak in quirky, ironic lines
They really need to cool off with this shit. I can handle one or two party members like this but lately every single fricking one constantly quips like they're in a shitty Marvel movie.
Is being sentanced to the blood war at the end REALLY a punishment. By the end of the game The Nameless one is super strong, taking on demon lords and archangels. Stats wise he should be one of the strongest people in the universe. He is probably fricking everyone up
Is being sentanced to the blood war at the end REALLY a punishment. By the end of the game The Nameless one is super strong, taking on demon lords and archangels. Stats wise he should be one of the strongest people in the universe. He is probably fricking everyone up
Wasn't there some guy who managed to escape though?
Yeah the instructor in Clerk's Ward who talks about the war was conscripted into it and sacrificed two of the people he was with to the pillar of skulls and got out.
He's not that strong in a DnD setting, but he should be able to survive quite easily for a long time. The problem with the Blood War is that it's endless butchery (except it finished in the setting already because writers are fricking morons) of the highest order.
It's more like "their combined forces would btfo everyone else". A stalemate doesn't unite the demons and devils, and if one side tries to make a play topside, the other will just attack their home dimension while the forces are split.
Anyways, the only reference I've found to the Blood War ending is some homosexual wiki sourcing a single book for the Forgotten Realms. It doesn't seem like this is meant as an end for it in every D&D sourcebook going forward.
It was stalemated iirc but its since kicked back up, just not on the old levels.
Right now I think its implied demons are slaughering each other and growing stronger whereas the hells are dealing with a lot of backstabbing and power grabs while trying to build its power.
Which one? Don't say all. You're talking about no less than 4 different games with the same name but you refer to it as a single entitiy. Your opinion can not be valid.
unironically the enhanced edition. breamdog didn't add any shitty new content like they did with Baldur's Gate. It just has some nice bug fixes and UI improvements.
Pirate it though cos frick beamdog
>It just has some nice bug fixes
it actually has bugs that were fixed with fanpatches. for example ravel's maze in the "enhanced" edition is a shitshow that can break from slightest deviation to the script.
Yeah thats with fanpatches though, if you're going that route you'd be best buying it from GOG and following the guide there but if you want it to work straight out the box then the EE is the way to go.
>OG lets you (easily) patch cut content and a good enough resolution choice >rehash doesn't but its flat out plug-and-play
like anon said prolly the enhanced. PT didn't lose nearly as much content as BG/2 did, and the nature of it sees less mods than BG as well so there's no real notable ones
What content did BG lose? Ive just started an enhanced edition playthrough with the mod that combines all games into one. Should I go back to the original games?
D&D stopped being good when 3.x released. FromSoft is the true evolution of wRPGs, it's what it should have become, would love to see a Sword Coast version done right.
I've put in 500+ hour in both er and bg3, and would also argue that the choicemaking and character development instantly felt more interesting in er. Elden ring is more referential to settings like planescape than d&d itself. Perhaps not in terminology, but definitely in theme and philosophy. Alexander could easily fit into planescape, and morte would easily fit in er
The advanced D&D line was always kind of shit. 1e was such a mess that no one ever actually played it RAW, they were basically just taking the bits and pieces of 1e that they liked and slapping it onto Basic. From 2e and onwards the game kept trying to expand its scope without ever reworking the core mechanical framework to be suitable for things other than dungeon crawls. The best D&D experience you can have is sticking to the oldest systems and doing nothing but dungeon crawling, and land/stronghold ownership once your character levels enough to retire from adventuring.
Depends, what did you like about them?
I'd make an argument for Disco Elysium, its the closest game to Planescape Torment.
Theres also Torment: Tides on Numeria but thats mostly just okay and spends too long divided on both trying to ape Planescape and sell you on its own setting to ever really find its own story.

Since people are using this to ask for reccomendations, what's the deal with Age of Decedence? I hear people either enjoy it despite its flaws or absolutely despise it, and I'm curious about their next game since I really like the premise.
And how good/bad was Torment Tides of Numenara?
Tides is pretty meh, a lot of words with nothing to really say.
It desperately wants to be Planescape but the actual story of the main character leaves you feeling more disconnected than involved and a lot of the game is just selling you on the more interesting parts of the Numeria setting, which ranges from really cool alien shit like The Bloom to just standard "oooo this magic item is just fancy tech you don't comprehend ooooo".
Worth a play if you can get it cheap or pirate it.
Tides tries to be Torment but it doesn't have the soul and plays it too safe. It's not bad imo, but don't expect much.
Age of Decedence iirc (it's been a while since I played it) you have to really commit to a specific character build otherwise you'll get fricked hard, you can get fricked up in most combat encounters easily.
It's called Colony Ship. It's set on a generation ship where you're one of the unlucky ones who gets born in the middle of the journey, never knowing earth or your new home, just a shitty ship nobody is sure will even reach it's destination.
Age of Decadence is great. Just the right amount of CYOA, with different paths for different classes revealing vastly different things about the world
When people say to stick to one build, it basically means you should stick with your starting class because the story is built around those paths. You can theoretically start as a merchant, put all your points into combat stats, and join the army instead. But you'll be terrible at it and will just softlock yourself
You should give it a try, one playthrough is quite short (maybe 15 hours)
If you liked the first then yeah its pretty solid, its a lot more free-roam focused so the overall narrative suffers so you're not going to get White March tier writing but the combats better from what I recall though.
Also its ship based if thats your thing.
In terms of gameplay I preferred it to 1 but narratively it's worse. Following Eothas is interesting only in wanting to know what he's up to, beyond that I didn't care much for the story.

So he could devote his immortality towards trying not to be a Black person but instead he doomed all of existence. Powerfull homietry at work here.

Are night hags really that powerful in DnD/Forgotten Realms setting anyway?
She basically had godlike powers if she could do that to the Nameless.
lol no the monster manual night hags have always been CR5 chumps and RAW the only spell that could really have an effect like that is Wish

There's like two games in Eberron
Pretty much all of DDO is in Ebberron and if you can get over the P2W aspects its truly a great MMO experience.
