Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The humor in D:OS2 comes out of the characters playing everything entirely straight in increasingly absurd situations. This is a game where you can lecture a dog on the futility of existence. It’s very funny.

Yeah Ted Faro works so well because, well, people like him are everywhere in positions of power. He's an evil we all know.

The part where Elizabet puts him in his place and makes him stand aside so the big boys and girls can fix his super fuckup was the worst to watch because you can trace him finishing off human history back to the fact that he feels worse that his name's on humanity's gravestone and the future will know instead of the fact that he's the one to put humanity in the grave.

I can no longer launch Dragon Age: Inquisition using Frosty Mod Manager. Why is this happening to me, all I want to do is pick up things without having to watch my guy painstakingly bend over every single time

e: some guy is saying it's related to an Origin update. I only have one game on it and I hate it already, I knew it was a mistake to expand beyond Steam and GOG.

Oh and if Disagea 4 is anything like 5 then look forward to the most distressingly confusing time, where everything about the story just makes you wonder if you're having a stroke, your healer has the personality "pregnant" and one of the character classes is "Overlord?"-

Disgaea 4 is also on Gamepass, so maybe that's what gets me to finally play one of these

Yep, everything working like it should, even after updating Origin, so if that's the issue it's either related to a mod you have that I don't have or it's something selective I have no idea about. Try to remove and reinstall all mods?

It's a matter of personal taste, I guess. I can totally see the comparison of "this feels like the kind of dumb poo poo we'd talk about in tabletop game," because a lot of the time it really does.

That kind of thing just doesn't work for me unless it's actually happening organically and coming from people I know, though. I think in a commercially produced game it comes across as forced and cringy.

I only have the Quicker Looting mod, which I re-imported. Still doesn't work, opens Origins but not the game.

Well, I just got a popup when I opened origins and then it updated. Have you tried relaunching Origins after a restart to see if it updates? All my suggestions kinda boil down to "turn it off and on again".

I just used the DAITools Mod Manager to merge the mod into the game. This tool hasn't been updated since 2015, but things appear to be working correctly in the sense that the animations are disabled, and I can just run the game executable directly now. I...assume this won't cause problems? I know I'll have to be careful about revalidating files now.

If you have no plans to mod further (with mods using the new forms), I see no reason why it shouldn't work. It's an old game, and that's an old mod.

They more or less pulled themselves out of that with their smaller projects and NISA doing well in general.

But yes the port of D4 only just came out and D5 has been on PC for just short of two years now, hence the price.

This version of D4 also replaces a transphobic line with "I think we've all grown a little in the last few years", which is good.

I found some really cool Dexterity-boosting gear for my Rogue Archer in DA:I, so now I have a good crit damage bonus, but obviously I want my crit chance to increase as well. I already got the +5% ring from the Emporium. I should focus on Cunning now? Any other tips to get my crit chance up?

Have you tried the DAITools thing?

https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/693?tab=description

Pick Mod Manager, then merge the animation-disabling mod with the game files. It's working fine for me so far, and the good thing is you can just launch the game from the DA:I .exe and the mod will still be applied.

I don't think that line even had the potential to mean anything transphobic when the game originally came out and tbh I still don't get how a joke internet term for crossdressers has become what it is today.
