  • Wizardry 6: Changing Professions Discussion

    My previous blog explored some thought experiments on the direction I wanted to take my party. After growing frustrated at the little zone that leads to the Enchanted Forest in the basement, I ended up making some modifications to my party to help give myself a little boost. Without actually increasing my XP, I mostly…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: My Class Evaluation

    After this latest play through of Bard’s Tale 3, I figured it might be a good time to do a full class write up, going over strengths, weaknesses, some party ideas and my own experiences.

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: One More Party Composition

    Since my computer cannot play Path of Exile, I’ve been thinking about getting back into Baldur’s Gate 2. I didn’t finish my last run through and probably won’t just because I hate breaking momentum. That said, I’ve been theorycrafting to see if there are any small optimizations to an interesting party that I haven’t tried…

  • Diablo 3: Season 9 Evaluation

    I haven’t really blogged on the topic of Diablo 3 for a while so I thought it might be good to talk about my current situation with the game, the few changes brought in this patch/Season and maybe looking forward a bit to the next season.

  • Diablo 3: Necromancer Character Pack Announced at Blizzcon 2016

    While the highly anticipated Diablo 4 or Diablo 3 expansion were not announced at Blizzcon 2016, the big news for Diablo 3 was a character pack for the Necromancer class. Earlier, it was “accidentally” unveiled of a poster showing a male and female Necromancer artwork on the Blizzard store, hinting at the possibility of an…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: More Character Mod’ing with EE Keeper

    So once again, I decided to try some hacks with EE Keeper. Now, previously, I was able to change the NPCs into classes that were far more interesting than what they were provided. There wasn’t any technical penalties thus far in the game. The next question is whether I could try a few other combinations,…

  • Old Game Reviews: Wizard’s Crown

    Prior to the gold box set AD&D games, SSI had Wizard’s Crown, which I heard had the basis for the combat engine for the gold box series. Wizard’s Crown was one of the original true hardcore CRPGs and quite difficult even when you had the game set to the lowest difficulty level (and I believe…

  • Diablo 3: Choosing A Starting Class in Season 7

    Season 7 is coming on August 5th and with it starting from ground zero again. As with every season, it’s important choosing a solid starting character, especially for those planning to hit the season solo. Which character class will be the best for leveling in season 7?

  • World of Warcraft: The Pointlessness in Class (Re-)Design

    Since being a player of World of Warcraft from Wrath of the Lich King, I became accustomed to the idea of how Blizzard will revamp classes each expansion. It’s natural in any RPG where as characters increase in power, so do the way they behave. In an expansion, that would mean adding abilities to show…

  • Diablo 3: Should Firebird’s 2 Piece Bonus Be Reworked?

    My title for this blog is more of a rhetorical question rather than a real question because the answer is clearly: YES! I overheard someone talking about the previous season’s Firebird set and how getting through T2 Zoltun Kulle was a little problematic. And when you have problems killing one of the easier bosses in…
