What 1st world Baldur's Gate problem would make you sell your soul to Raphael in order to fix?
For me I can't stand that they put difficult terrain in the act 2 camp. Makes zero sense. Who the F builds their camp in mud? I would sell my soul to Raphael for a boardwalk.
"Listen Rafael, I don't do deals with Devils. But... if you put the Mass Effect party select screen in here on a Hotkey... I'll be your bitch for life."
I've recently begun to wonder whether there's so much free wine in the world because the water is undrinkable. I would say "I have too much alcohol and I didn't even have to work for it" is definitely first-world, and sanitation would greatly improve lives.
It's kind of ruining my roleplay a little bit. I can't not pick up supplies because what if I need them later, but I used to enjoy putting effort into long resting over a meal that didn't sound gross, and now we all just get fucking wrecked every night with these mystery bottles I took off a zombie in a ditch.
Edit: The difficult terrain would probably come first, but at least taking an involuntary shower on my way to Gale means he'll never again talk to me about how good I stink.
Not wine. Fruit is expensive and it takes too long. Mild beer was the go to. Like 2% so low enough it's functionality impossible to get plastered but kills a lot of pathogens and it's as easy to make as forgetting some barley in a barrel.
Most bottled fruit juice us actually mildly alcoholic as well.
Beer isn't made by leaving barley in a barrel... It's cooked. Also wine was and is the preferred drink in southern Europe since the Romans who looked down upon the "barbarians" who drank beer.
It's a very commonly quoted - and heatedly discussed - factoid that water was usually polluted and generally considered undrinkable, mild alcoholic beverages were the norm.
It's not a factoid but an urban myth, historians are quite clear about this.
Water was – generally – safe to drink, and people drank alcohol for sustenance and because it was less boring than water. They also didn't write that much about drinking water, because it was completely natural to drink it and readily available. Besides, the low-level "small beer" isn't safe because of its alcohol content, it still goes bad rather quickly, but because it was made with clear water and barley cooked.
Yeah this drives me insane. My hot bar is always getting disorganized from removing and re-equipping gear. I just wish they remembered their last position.
Everywhere I go I see giant barrels of gunpowder 'smokepowder' but it's only ever used for somewhat uncommon bombs. My parties benefits less from the party's rogue's soul than it would a swashbuckling rogue armed with a brace of pistols.
I know there's a big debate about it in the DnD community. But surely a Faustian bargain is enough of a lore reason in a world overflowing with explosive barrels.
I pick those bad boys up and keep them for later fights. You can really wipe out a bunch of lower hp enemies with just one barrel and it's hilarious. With a couple high strength characters you can do silly stuff like have one guy throw oil the next throw firewine and then the third throw smokepowder. In the words of Leeloo "Big Baddaboom".
I'd like to enact a new law that says you're allowed to walk past someone even if it means invading their personal space a little bit. Like it's ok buddy, you actually don't need to run 359 degrees around me just because I am standing near a corner.
On PS5 you have to crouch every party member individually. It is annoying enough that I typically just blaze into battle rather than spending time sneaking.
Only if 2x1 would be acceptable I would sell my soul to add an option to listen to your companion chats without having to click the ear icon and a group option to follow the líder even with 2 players (or more)
