Editor for and Demon Sword Maiden!
Gentrified NEET and siscon.
Currently looking for an imouto. Applicants must be under the age of 16, cute and with long hair.
Optional traits are: Neko, princess and/or maid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(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.)
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!
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!
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.
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.
Fun fact! I have spent 10 hours playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
Fun fact! I have spent 10 hours modding Baldur’s Gate 3.
Yes.
I have spent the same amount of time modding the game as I have actually playing it.
That’s how crazy I am… well… sort of.
I just really really wanted to make a funny spell and sword referencing two of my most popular past characters.
I did not have “Haze Reverb English Release” on my 2024 bingo…
But here we are.
I can’t even bring myself to talk about ReZero, this is such a bigger shock to me.
This game was literally cobbled together on the hopes and dreams of a bunch of giantess artists!
I was fully convinced this thing would never get an English release because it’s absurdly niche!
I literally only tracked its development out of morbid curiosity for if they could pull it off as an art team.
I was betrayed.
To my great disappointment, Baldur’s Gate doesn’t seem to be participating in the turn-based rpg sale on Steam despite being the top item in the tab…
Anyway, I bought it still, because my friends keep pushing for a multiplayer campaign.
Even though I am neck deep in Satisfactory right now already!
October arrives…
That means I should really be choosing what to do for my Halloween artwork commission for the season again…
But uh. I have other things I want too.
Not to mention it’s my mother’s birthday soon and I forgot that it was even a thing until I realised October was coming…
Oh! And I am going to comicon at the end of the month and still haven’t chosen what I want to cosplay as!
Haha… I am so screwed!
