I think at this point the best plan is to mash all the assets together and release Dragon Effect. Mass Dragon? No, that sounds like maybe a Catholic dragon. Mass Age? No, people will buy it expecting a massage. Maybe subvert all expectations and go with Age Effect! We'll throw out all the magic and aliens, it'll be a harrowing exploration of human mortality.

Minthara, Astarion, and Shadowheart for me. Bad blood between SH and Lae'zel, obvs. I typically get a lot more approval for my dastardly behavior from Minth and Asta; Shadowheart just kinda goes along with it, unless we're killing folks she really hates like Selunites.

I mean, fair enough, and I've only seen the film adaptation, but I would expect literal grapes of wrath to ferment into Klingon bloodwine, and I don't recall that being a plot point.

¯(ツ)/¯ Tasted good to me, unlike all the other Heineken I've tried. I suppose there are all sorts of things that can affect the taste. This was 20+ years ago, if that makes any difference.

Edit: nope, just checked and they closed the actual brewery there in 1988.

Totally agree about the DA series. Can't say I have very high hopes for this one, given the direction they've taken the franchise, but I'd love to be wrong.

I'm not big on replaying games, but I'm missing out on so much content by murdering everyone, that I'm looking forward to playing again as a good guy. To be clear, there's no shortage of content for murderhobos. The game is just fabulously dense.

:: spoiler As for who did the thing, it was a late Act 2 spoiler: It was Shadowheart, in that moment

I think I know what you're talking about, and I save-scummed to avoid it, because I needed redacted at the time. Was pretty dramatic and surprising!

Playing on balanced, I haven't had too many problems with breaking concentration. Seems like everyone's pretty good at rolling those saves. My main issue with concentration is just forgetting that one of my characters is already concentrating on something.

In Act 3, I've found a book in some tomb that pretty clearly spells out who Withers is, and I'm irritated that apparently my character can't connect the dots.

Even as a dark urge murderhobo, I have near max affinity with all the companions I haven't killed yet. Gale might seem like a nice enough fellow, but he's raised no objections to my bloody agenda. I will say, I wish there was a tad more flexibility with the romance system; I turned down Lae'zel way back in Act I, but it'd be nice to have the option to start things up again when >!Shadowheart kinda friendzones you for Shar!<

Yeah, the only good Heineken I ever had was at the brewery in Amsterdam.

It wasn't his department!

Confused about whether to upvote! Down is good, and up is no.

I recall this being posted ad nauseum on r/startrek, and the comments were always full of people using it to dismiss any and all criticism of Discovery and/or Picard. Nice to see that not being rehashed here.

Seriously. This doesn't belong here. I don't know why PCG is wading into some youtuber controversy that seems to have only the most tenuous connection to their bailiwick.

I've long regarded it as a red flag, since the first people I encountered using it were alt-right dipshits. Subsequently it seems to have been adopted wholesale, and I get the impression that most people don't see it as politically charged.
