  • It’s not only the game industry unfortunately, it’s every industry everywhere.

    It’s public trading - and all the financial speculations around it - that ruins companies, forcing them to earn more and spend less year after year, and when they have nothing else left to cut, they start cutting the workforce, with all the bad repercussions Swen described, like loss of institutional knowledge for example.

    It’s a financial model that’s totally unsustainable, noone can grow indefinitely, they should change the way companies are valued, not looking at quarterly profits but a number of other parameters like respect for the environment for example, security, financial stability, things like that.

    It won’t happen tho so the only option today to be a good company is avoiding public trading, not many entrepreneurs are smart enough, or unselfish enough, to do it.




  • I have 180 hours. First playthrough was learning DnD rules and mechanics (I knew nothing about it before), I started on the easiest setting, got up to act 3 but I missed a lot of stuff and I wasn’t satisfied so I restarted on normal.

    I finished the game on normal, tho I rushed act 3 a bit because I wanted to see the end of the story. Then I started a dark urge run, still at the very beginning, I’ll probably get additional 100+ hours by the end of it XD.



  • My tav is fighter, companions are:

    • Astarion: best for lockpicks/stealthy stuff, he’s a killing machine with the dual xbow rogue/ranger build from cRPG Bro
    • Shadowhear: full cleric, quite resilient, she has some amazing abilities like spirit guardians (she can just dash around and one-shot groups of low health mobs lol), spirit weapon (useful to keep some enemies occupied because they attack the weapon and not the party) and a big heal for oh-shit moments - for builds I’m currently using the tempest one by NizarGG but I’m thinking of making my own to enhance the abilities of her I want to use
    • 4th spot I use for the companion that makes the more sense to me to bring depending on areas/quests, so I’m basically switching almost all the time

    I’m pretty satisfied with this setup tho I’m probably missing stuff on the 4th slot so next playthrough I’ll use the no party limit mod to see how good or bad my “instinct” is XD
