With all the hype going around Pillars of Eternity 2, I wanted to give the first one another try. Is the page on the wiki still current for Pillars of Eternity 1? Because I think I remember some big rebalancing patch happening somewhat later in the game's lifetime.

When does the DLC for SteamWorld Heist become available? Does it take place after the main game? Or is it integrated into the campaign?

Fully integrated into the campaign; I got the disc version, and didn't realize it was DLC until I had just about beaten the game.

Xander77 posted:I actually gave up on that one and wrote my own. It's not that much better, but at least it has subsections. I've not played this game but edit the wiki frequently, but your poo poo seems considerably more readable, while being more comprehensive. Straight up replacing the wiki page with what you've written doesn't seem like a mistake. But, if you don't want to do that, I'd strongly suggest at least putting a link to your guide on the wiki. I'd do it but it feels weird to do such a thing without permission.

PMush Perfect is right, the FFT page ( http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Final_Fantasy_Tactics ) is a bit of a mess and doesn't touch on some of the big PSP changes. That game can get pretty drat deep but there's a lot of fluff/repeated info in there or stuff that is very niche. These can be removed imo and I included some comments: Early battles, much like Deus Ex, will be boring! This is because your characters just can't do much other than use items and hit stuff. Hold out! As your characters start advancing in other jobs, the strategic options will open up. (^^^ Pointless) There is no benefit to mastering a job. If you ever feel you have all the worthwhile abilities for a job, move on to another one. (^^^ The only way to unlock Dark Knight is by mastering Knight and Black Mage, PSP version only) The more advanced classes gain more stats per level and the Mime has the best growth. (^^^ Not true. Even focusing on a Mime isn't that big of a deal. Speed is the only unique stat to worry about when it comes to leveling jobs) Summons will only target enemies or allies, never both. So you can target an ally who will move before the summon goes off and march them up into a group of enemies for some nice damage. (^^^ Repeated on the wiki) Never use flails or axes, their damage is too random. (^^^ These use a damage range, just an odd entry) Spam Accumulate/buffs to build 10 experience. (^^^ Wiki has too much poo poo on it already) The Monk/Ninja stuff could probably be condensed as there's numerous mentions of their mechanics, same with CT/AI management, and ingame trappings can even be its own category with how much is in the wiki (Ramza's build, gear to buy, multiple saves etc). I wrote up some of the PSP changes a while back, but the page is too drat busy as it is.

Well, at least everything is in separate categories, instead of one big mess? http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Alpha_Protocol I tried not to delete anything I didn't contribute myself / wasn't an obvious repeat, but yeah... some cleansing fire might be required.

The wiki has some decent tips. http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Monster_Hunter:_World -Every weapon plays differently and the game doesn't tell you all of their moves. Look up videos and try everything in the training arena. You can load into the training area from the housekeeper in your room or from the zoomed out world map. Also, ammo is unlimited in there, so craft (and keep) one of everything for the bows and bowguns. -Pick a main weapon and a backup weapon. It's good to have a ranged option for certain monsters. -Hitting and running is a valid strategy, especially if you've never fought a monster before and don't know how big of an opening there is to attack. -One of the most important moves in this game involves sheathing your weapon and dodging away from a monster. Normally you roll, but in this case you will do a superman dive that makes you invincible for a few seconds. exquisite tea posted:Turn off auto-sheathe and set radial menu to R3 click. Wait, how do you pin things on the map then? I should add that you can change the camera setting from locked to target. The default can make people feel sick.

Growing stuff to get food and plant fibers seems like a bigger deal at first than it winds up being in the longrun, just cuz it's so easy to make some p bombass food off poo poo you forage alone once you're enough of a hardass to just clean out the surface of a new planet. So like as far as planets go, the skinny's this: more dangerous planets have better poo poo (important for the tech gating bit) but are tougher. In general there's effectively unlimited of all kinds of planets and stripping the surface/raiding settlements is an easy way to get stuff fast. Also while for the most part settlements are there for you to loot and murder, trading with some of em can get you poo poo you want/need. Some dudes are just straight up hostile no matter what though so be prepared to kill anyone you meet. The whole build-your-own-settlement mechanic doesn't do anything really worthwhile enough to recommend it but is a fun enough diversion since it's not like it's hard either.

PRL412 posted:The wiki has some decent tips. http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Monster_Hunter:_World - Try out weapon moves in the training area but actually try them in combat in the actual arena. Not only do you have more carts (8 I think) but your inventory is not used as well. - Sometimes it is more efficient to craft on the fly. Flash pods have a Max carry of 3, but only require 1 flashbug to craft, and they have a Max carry of 10. Sticking the flash pods on your radial menu will allow you to craft it before equipping. - since your friends are hundreds of hours ahead of you it might be nice to ask them to gear down so your hunts are not a total cakewalk.

Any general tips for the Civilization 6? I just upgraded to a rig that can actually run it, and on my first test run on warlord level I stumbled onto the cultural victory when I was era ahead of everyone else and was sort of just trying poo poo out. I used to play single player SM-BERT on the higher difficulty settings, but was somehow completely lost at some of the finer points of this game.

The story mode is kind of short, but fun. The meat of the game is in the adventure mode and all the different levels in there. Being a Dynasty Warriors game, It's nothing too difficult, except the adventure mode levels sometimes have really difficult requirements. They also force you into playing as different characters, so try keeping everyone upgraded, and with the strongest weapons you can.

I hate suggesting this, but honestly you'd be better off skipping it and moving straight to 2. Witcher 1 is an exercise in frustration; read a story summary and move on to the much better sequel (and the MUCH better trilogy cap).

That said, if you truly want to play W1 it should still function, I know some mad bastards who played it recently and had it run fine. I think it might be less of a mod thing and maybe something with your computer

Witcher 1 is amazing there we just had the argument that always happens here Edit: Its combos are rhythm-based and I never felt like an utter failure at life as a result unlike in 2 where everyone dies in the tutorial. But I am sure 2 is still a great game and maybe some day I will actually not give up in frustration after the tutorial

No mods should be needed just to make it work. The only similar issue on the PC gaming wiki concerns the mouse cursor not being visible in the main menu, fixed by pressing shift.

I forgot to ask earlier is there anything important to know about Subnautica now that it's been updated a bunch and I think actually released? I loaded it up earlier and was extremely happy to see it now tells you what you need to make things. I can't remember if it did before but if not it's a very welcome change. juliuspringle fucked around with this message at 14:31 on May 18, 2018 |

I installed a mod that increased your base running speed. There's so much back-and-forth running, especially at the start of the game, that it gets really tedious. The game's totally playable otherwise, but for the sake of expediency, I'd strongly recommend it.

Even if you enjoy difficult games, just suck it up and play the early Witchers on Easy. I've tried multiple times to mod the combat into something more fun but each time has resulted in total failure that ultimately ended in me dropping the game due to frustrating combat.

You can say that the combat in TW1 is simplistic, but there's nothing complicated or difficult about it. Just use the appropriate potions and fighting style. As someone with incredibly bad reflexes, I played through TW1 on Hard, and died less than a dozen times total, including the infamously unfair boss fights.

I've encountered a lot of glitches involving the duffel bags sometimes found in wreckages, so don't pick those up. Or do if you want to gently caress stuff up. Minor tech-tree spoilers: I placed one in my Cyclops, because I like role-playing and decorating in these kinds of games, and it made it freak out, clip through my base, and make the inside of my base fill with water.
