What's wrong with Warlocks? I love Eldritch Blast with the Repelling Blast invocation to knock enemies off cliffs or rooftops. Also, have you tried a Paladin? I haven't yet, but from what I've read they can do insane amounts of damage.

I'm considering doing a Honor mode run afterwards, but considering how long it's taking me to do this first run I'll probably want to play something else once I'm done. My backlog keeps growing. I'm pretty sure I cannot go back. I jumped down a hole and I think I'm stuck here until I find the...

The biggest problem I see with that is that it wouldn't really be a Dune game. A lot of the typical Dune elements weren't present during that time and I don't think the books go into great detail about that time either, so you'd have to make up a whole bunch of new lore and might as well just...

You could do that too. I recently did that with Wyll's imp familiar: I snuck up on an enemy while invisible, attacked it causing it to be surprised, attacked it again in the surprise round and then became invisible before they could act and flew away. Sadly the enemy could heal itself when out...

I'm not in the US, but I did see that more and more Safeway employees have started striking over the past few days because of being overworked, understaffed and underpaid: https://www.denverpost.com/2025/06/17/safeway-albertsons-continue-labor-strikes-colorado/

I'd like to, but almost €30 on sale is quite a lot for me when I can scratch the itch for automation with a free Minecraft modpack as well. Or go back to The Planet Crafter and terraform the two new moons they recently added in a free update. After thinking about it a bit more I realised I...

I also need some kind of a narrative to keep playing survival games, but not necessarily one with choices. Subnautica and The Planet Crafter mostly had some lore snippets every now and then, but that's enough for me to keep playing. I suspect that if I try playing Factorio I'd get sucked in...

I don't even use the Steam overlay 99% of the time. The main thing it's good for is to connect to a friend's game through Steam and I occasionally make a note or look something up in the browser so I don't have to alt-tab and risk the game crashing.

Is there a time limit, such that you only have a limited number of days to complete (certain) goals, or could you just end a day early if you want to save?

For some reason Shadowheart is the only one who came on to me without me feeling like I really did anything to warrant it. Halsin seemed open to it, but there were clear dialogue options to keep it platonic. I don't remember Wyll ever even hinting at being interested and I think I got an option...

You're right, there is. I just went with the Tactician difficulty, but if you go to Custom there is indeed an option for that. Well, anybody with dexterity and some magic items + guidance can do well, but only because there are so many thieves' tools lying around. I also did run into a DC 30...

I haven't found any use for AI in my daily life, not even for the chatbots. I still prefer to look up stuff through a regular search engine and I'll ignore the AI summary that often pops up. I was actually pretty impressed the couple of times I used it to look up a question for work before, but...

I don't care that much about missing out on secrets like that. I have more loot to sell than I'll ever need and I forget half of the magic items I have, so I doubt missing a secret door is going to matter that much.

I don't think it's a game balance issue. You don't need any of the charisma stats, there are always other options, even if it means doing an extra fight. And you have 4 party members, so you can just have one of them spec into charisma skills. Though I do pretty much every single conversation...
