Can I progress without doing isobel’s fight encounter?

I think I’ve reloaded my save 6 or 7 times trying to save this & I can’t for the life of me make it happen. I think the closest I’ve gotten has been getting Marcus down to like 31 health but those flying things keep taking her out every time. Is there a way I can just get her protection spell then leave and make my way with a torch? Im convinced that at my current class and rank that this boss fight is unbeatable and don’t really wanna waste hours trying to beat it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated . . . [More]

Can you unlock secret stamps before beating the game in Storyteller?

After getting every crown in Storyteller, I unlocked a list of achievements called the Secret Stamp Collection. If I met the requirements for one of these stamps before beating the game, could I unlock the stamp before knowing the requirements? Question from user Stevoisiak at stackexchange. Answer: No, you cannot unlock stamps before beating the game. I unintentionally met the conditions for a few stamps during my playthrough, (Second Chance, Excesses, Crown Secrets), but my stamp book had no stamps completed when I unlocked it. An . . . [More]

Why is this affair-filled solution to Love Revolution incorrect?

I am on the final chapter (Novels) of Storyteller. Stage 4 (Love Revolution) of this chapter has the title "Knight and Maid Murder the Monarchs and Have an Affair". I arranged the panels so the Maid has an affair with the King and kills the Queen, while the Knight has an affair with the Queen and kills the King. However, despite matching the title, the solution didn't count. Why was my solution incorrect? Is there some hidden requirement I'm missing?

This short - long rest thing is annoying and makes no sense...

Full disclosure, I've never actually played D&D, but always wanted to. And I'm only about 5 hours into BG3. With that out of the way. what the hell? Why does just about every non-basic ability require you to short/long rest before you can use it again? You're really telling me my trained Paladin can only hit people with the pommel of his sword once before he has to take a nap? And can only do that a max of 3 times a day? And my trained wizard can only cast like 2 spells before he needs to nap too? I don't get the logic . . . [More]

How do I trigger the effect of the new item, Enduring Brooch?

According to the description in the game for the Enduring Brooch, it's:. A brooch that will prevent you from going down once per battle. But what exactly does it mean by "going down?". Does that apply to the character that has it equipped and prevents them from being knocked out? Does that mean the if everyone is knocked out, they come back? I had it equipped through some tough battles and the character that had it equipped still got knocked out like normal, and I still lost the battle when everyone was knocked out. . . . [More]

What was the first game to show toilets?

And by "toilets" I mean the actual thing you sit on, not just "restrooms". Not trying to be weird, I just remember I first saw them in Fallout 3 (2008) and suddenly realized those fixtures had been under-represented in video games. Which is understandable in the U.S., where most folks were uncomfortable with restroom stuff. But the Japanese are OK with it (e.g. this) so I figure some of their old games must feature 'toe.ih.reh'. Question from user Daniel at stackexchange. Answer: Jet Set Willy (1984) is t . . . [More]

How do I get the ghillie suit?

Sometimes while I play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 online, I see people with a ghillie suit to help them blend in to their surroundings. How do I get that costume? Question from user Scribblenautical at stackexchange. Answer: You obtain the ghillie suit by completing the challenges associated with it. "Ghillie in the mist" is what it's called. Or, during a multiplayer session, certain maps give it to you by default. The maps are Bakaara, Mission, Fallen, and Village. Answer from user Holy Cow Kid at stackexchange. . . . [More]

Did anyone else hate Lae'zel as much as I did?

I mean come on, she literally was just an asshole from the moment you meet her. She constantly talks down to literally everyone, acts like she is god's gift to the world, and talks like everyone around her is completely stupid and incompetent and that she is the only person capable of doing literally anything. The nighttime interaction you get after a few nights' rest where she tries to slit your throat, I did the persuasion option to kill her instead and succeeded.

Can anyone explain how time works in this game?

So I had an issue early on that's kinda ruined my experience. When I found the gith woman locked in the cage, I talked the tieflings into moving, but then I couldn't figure out how to target the cage, so I assumed there must be a release. I started looking around, and as soon as she was out of site, like literally I barely went anywhere, she had gotten herself out and killed the tieflings (who had already left). I reloaded to a save before I had found her, but she was already gone. Now I'm stuck with a party of three and 8 hours in, . . . [More]
