    I'm a be straightforward with ya chief, some guy by the name of Midnight_Secrets https://www.webnovel.com/profile/4324270043?appId=10, has stolen one of your novels called 'All of Eternity at my Fingertips' renaming it 'Originals A New Legend.' Apparently, this guy has stolen other novels/fanfics from other people while using patreon to get money off your books.

    You know, compared to isekai as a dragon in a song of ice and fire, the isekai as a dragon in dungeons and dragons would probably be more fun
    How do I see your stories to read them here

    Alternatively, the second option is to go to QQ's search bar and do an advanced search. Look up the title of a particular long-form story of mine there, and then put "Cambrian" in under the "Posted by Member" option.

    Can't find what mod that I already uninstalled is making my game not load the main menu, so I had to uninstall and reinstall, now hoping this works :(

    Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed that my previous saves broke. So I might take a break from this game for a while before going back... especially since I've already played through Act 1 several times in EA

    I was very smart about that. I know about my issues with replaying shit, so I just didn't touch EA except for the first 3 hour session I did with friends back in 2021. I'm glad I did that, because I really did enjoy my first playthrough quite a lot.

    But now I'm thinking I need to set the game down and wait a year to be able to really enjoy a Durge playthrough

    I like making new characters, but I hate doing the same chores over and over again

    but honestly, BG3 isn't as bad as, say, all MMOs, in how repetitive the shit quests become, like at least each one encounter feels meaningful, you know? Can't forget the hag, can't forget going down into the underdark, etc. etc.
    d.fish
    I think there's one aspect I wish I could explore more, and that's the necromancy stuff. Like, it'd be so nice to just have an undead horde following you, but you know, you're limited on what kinda zombies n shit you can have, sad

    It's not fair that even after you have stuff that make you resist or immune fire, you can't just immediately start a convo with the devil girl to fucgg

    The funny thing is, I was too fast to murder Karga in the Druid Grove, sparking the Druid/Tiefling War and leading to Alfira's death in that battle. So I didn't even get to kill Alfira in her sleep, I got some shitty random dragonborn bitch as a placeholder instead, lmao.

    Meh, I'll probably just take this Dark Urge playthrough a little slower tbh. A couple hours a night instead of 10-12 hours a day like I did my first playthrough.

    Haven't even gotten to the goblin camp and Minthara yet, but just not feeling like playing more tonight lol

    To be honest, I think with the dark urge you're supposed to start off fighting against the urge and then slowly give in, or something. But then again, idk, some people don't like that kind of murderhobo in their horni game

    The druids did nothing wrong, but they are annoying af... the tieflings were in the wrong, but they aren't utterly worthless like the druids.

    Like holy shit, there's a few tieflings I like, but I don't like a single one of the druids

    Untabletop things... I actually never knew you could throw potions for ranged, aoe heals. Neat. Also, I used to focus on picking up fire barrels in the other larian game, but now I have to also stock up on crates and candles if I wanna play hard mode... also, it's so weird that merchant inventories are aligned with your level.

    Yeah also if you put a healing potion on the ground and attack it, it explodes for an even bigger AOE heal.

    It's just, you know, Halsin gets to bulldoze over goblin children while in bear form just because they tossed some rocks at him, but when the tiefling kids do similar things to annoy me, I can't toss a fireball back at them? They just walk around invincible. I mean, look, I get not killing human kids in vidya because ESRB, but foulbloods are just like greenskins, don't get human rights. They aren't human, after all.
    Sooo I am came here cause all your stuff was deleted from ff.net (which sucks, I'm sorry bout that). How do I find your stories or navigate here??? Its a bit confusing tbh
    Hey dude, im sorry that site deleted your stuff, hope whichever mod decided that gets fired, best of luck
    I saw that all your stories were deleted from FFN today. I am guessing that was admin's action since not even profile's page was spared. Is there a chance that they will be uploaded to your AO3 account (at least multi-chapter ones? )?
    d.fish
    So anyway, I fell prey to the mmo alt-itis, despite it being a single player crpg, and started a fifth playthrough with a different dark urge build... lmao three-class multiclass bulldozing my way through the game

    It's just, you know, you should be able to "lone wolf" it by not taking any companions, or by rejecting every one of them who tries to join you, or killing all of them...

    You don't really have the opportunity to slaughter the other side once you've slaughtered one side. Like I tried killing off the druids first, and then the story just progresses, same with the goblins. Though, I guess you could still kill either side afterwards, but I think it'd more interesting to let them kill each other while profiting on the side.

    Hmm interesting. Yeah I guess there are always going to be limitations with video games. I'm just happy to have as much choice as BG3 does offer, especially compared to the lack of choice in so many other games these days.

    Yes, BG3 is far ahead of most other CRPGs in this regard. I don't mind the limitation, it's human nature to always want a little more after all.

    It's just a matter of having only two extremes; if there's a "extreme moderate" as the third option, I'd be sated, at least.
    d.fish
    I don't like my pure evil playthrough. It's like, you can't be 'selfish', you can only be 'saturday morning cartoon' when there's an evil choice, you know?

    My good boi murderhobo playthrough fits me a bit more. It sometimes feels like being good is more selfish, mhm.

    Stealth archery rogue shit is something I tried a lot, but I gave up on it because I could never get the swap between real time and turn base for the stealth actions right. Also because everyone immediately detects shit and you can't really one shot sneak kill the ones that matter, and you always get revealed so it's like, urgh.

    Thing is, there's a lot of fun builds that require items to complete, but by the time I get the items, I don't have a lot of room to show off the cool build... so basically, I just did a warlock dark urge thing, like an anti-wyll lmao

    For example, I tried doing rogue and then I could never get passed the hag fight, you know the one in early act one? Ughhhhh

    I'll admit it, I guess Shadowheart isn't that bad. It's always a situational thing, I guess I'm just surrounded by hot girls irl, but when I'm stuck Baldur's Gate, and there's no pretty people except for those with magic STIs, she's actually quite pretty.

    I killed minthara in my first playthrough too, but when I was playing less "heroic good" and on the harder difficulty where I couldn't wade through oceans of blood, I found that a lot of the time I had to talk my way through things, and that got me into the minthara route, tho at the time it was just a "fuck and forget"

    honestly, this game just makes me kind of wish to have an OP villain protagonist in the setting rather than play through the actual story, though, only a bit, I guess, I mean, not that much like the witcher was, but still significant
    d.fish
    d.fish
    I just think that even though there's a lot more options compared to back when it was in EA, it's still rather limited in the kind of story it can tell... no open world mode lmao (understandably, because impossible until sophisticated AI maybe)
    d.fish
    I feel slightly vindicated that Baldur's Gate 3's release is turning out to be something of a gaming event thing like the big ones, having bought it the moment it went on Steam way back when there wasn't even a full Act 1, but at the same time, there's a feeling like 'this is my thing, you newcomers go get your own', and I hate how human those feelings are.
