Alchemist Startover Chapter 106

New Chapter!
I just had to replay several hours of Baldur’s Gate because I played some zones out of the intended order…
It meant quests in a previous zone had all been disabled because I had gone “too far ahead”…
So much for open world! Well I sort of get it, I went to a zone semi-directly tied to the main story so things progressed weirdly.

I also had an incident a while back where Shadowheart’s macguffin triggered but then she went back to not talking about it because I encountered what I assume was meant to be the second scene of its story relevance?

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1125

New Chapter!
Shocking news, I actually finished the editing for this in advance this time!
Normally I do them right before I publish…
Not the best way to handle things I know but…

Well, you see how I am.
It sort of gets that way when you do something long enough-.
Anyway, I didn’t this time, so I felt a need to say it so. Enjoy.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1124

New Chapter!
I finished making my mod at last today.
Well finished is a relative term, I have made everything I wanted to make, up to this point.
I will do any final tweaks soon after the last round of proper game testing and then upload it for my friends to use as it was originally intended.

Since it’s all niche reference jokes for them to get.

Small Fry Character Chapter 5-1

New Chapter!
Two of my light novel preorders got cancelled again…
Hmm…
Maybe this a sign to stop preordering light novels a year or more in advance?

No it must be the system that is wrong!
Well whatever… I will try to remember to reorder them on release.

Automata Maid Chapter 203

New Chapter!
Today I learned there is a seething hatred for the canon version of the Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 protagonist…
I don’t really get why, one argument I saw was the really bad novels which, fair I get. But you can consider those non-canon anyway.
The name is meant to just be the stand in so the character can be referenced in main lore.

I don’t really understand the hatred specifically for it…
Well I can also understand people wanting their adventure to have been reflected…
Like if BG3 was to be added to the main canon it’d be probably be with the character of “Tav” and the different epilogues vary wildly… so I would be curious as to what they ran with…

God’s Gofer Interlude 11

New Chapter!
We’re getting more interludes! More POV this time.
I wonder how this one goes…
Especially when you consider the last few.

Stories with lots of POV chapters like this are always interesting to me because I love seeing the reactions to protagonist moments from other angles.
Arifureta was unironically really good for that, sometimes I wished that it didn’t abridge them so much but I always liked when other characters described past events from their view.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 105

New Chapter!
I almost turned off my PC with this window tabbed and without scheduling the post.
Now that would have been a disaster!

Original pre-chapter ramble here:
My artist friend is doing an commission for me on the side and I left most of the details up to them…
But uh, somehow they started combining bits of maid attire with a classroom teacher scenario but using the scifi plugsuit as a base?
It’s very… well it’s certainly a thing of all time…
I’m wondering where this will end up now.

God’s Gofer Chapter 39

New Chapter!
My project to work on modding Baldur’s Gate 3 continues apace…
Today I finished putting together a rapier weapon with so many gimmicks stacked atop it that it became unreal… but still…

It now effectively functions as a red mage from Final Fantasy!
It has two major gimmicks, the first is that upon casting a spell you can also immediately cast a second spell for free from an adjusted selection.
Basically four spells that cover a few different damage types, plus a weak healing spell and the all important rez mage skill!
It’s a tiny bit unbalanced but I didn’t go overboard so that challenge is preserved even when having fun.
The second gimmick is much simpler, it has a physical weapon attack that if it lands activates a second skill you can use, which if it lands let you use a third skill…
Basically it’s a combo… it’s a combo skill. In theory it will let you do more damage than a normal attack but the tradeoff is that there’s a risk it might do less.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 104

New Chapter!
I have spent 31 hours playing Badlur’s Gate 3.
And 35 hours modding Baldur’s Gate 3.

Do you see my problem?
I have spent more time staring at spreadsheets of in-game stats than actually playing the game!!!
I haven’t finished Act 1 even! Barely even half finished that!
But I’ve already made effectively two original subclasses by recreating the old style Cavalier to the best of my abilities and created a weapon that emulates Final Fantasy XIV’s Red Mage gameplay for Cleric-Warlock multiclass characters.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1123

New Chapter!
I have been having fun with Baldur’s Gate 3… but I don’t think I am actually that good at it…
Even with a mod that increases my party size I am often struggling with fights, in theory I should be outputting more damage than the game is balanced for, yet I struggle…

This is what they mean by skill issue.
It might also just be because I am new… I’m not sure.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1122

New Chapter!
I forgot to post this almost.
Oops.
Here it is.

(I forgot to post because I was ranting to a friend on discord about how Baldurs Gate 3’s writing is a weird mix of genius and downright awful.)
(Sorry, I’m just really not appreciating how the romance progression is handled.)
(Also, I hate quests that force you to choose between ‘least worst options’ which this game seems to love.)

Small Fry Character Chapter 4

New Chapter!
Hello everyone! Robinxen here!
I do apologise for the delay, I was meant to post last week, and I meant to do it after confirming it was last week…
But uh, I didn’t have the right chapter template so I didn’t know what to name the post for novel updates to identify it!
And then I forgot to ask!!! And because I forgot to ask I forgot I had to post it!

All is resolved now… this day from now on will be the proper time for posting… and tomorrow too I think.
And I will be your host, Robinxen!
Let’s get to it!

Automata Maid Chapter 202

New Chapter!
I almost posted this chapter with a blank page and titled “Post Update”…
Oops!

Yeah that’s what I get for going on autopilot in the middle of the editing process, I just copied it over and was about to hit publish without doing all the small details in the sidebar!
That would have been a disaster, people would have complained!
Imagine getting complaints on the internet!

God’s Gofer Chapter 38

New Chapter!
It is with great success that I can report my first mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 works as intended, fully.
Down to the last detail, not a single compromise needed!
Well, to be fair neither idea was hard to make, I just needed to know how…

The only thing I had to figure out was how to make a spell learnable via scroll without adding it to the level up list, but I figured that out too!
Basically if the spell scroll has the learn action attached then a wizard can learn it regardless of if the spell is on the wizard spell list or not.

God’s Gofer Chapter 37

New Chapter!
It is time for me to sleep.
Actually it was time for me to sleep hours ago…
I just got really interested in reading about some dumb topic and lost track of time.

I’ve been doing it more recently and I need to fix it, I need human sleep schedule to return this month because I am busy next month.
