CobraPL attributed this to the "disputed heritage secret" event, which caused the child to become a bastard in the game's code. Paradox forum user CobraPL noticed that their heir had been legitimate in an early save, and at some point the child's parentage had been overwritten in the code. Yet others think something else could be causing the proliferation in bastards, including a random in-game event that causes a child to be fathered by another. Just take a look at OccasionalBugReport's court below. It's possible that AI seduction schemes are still rampant, and these bastards are the result of a lot of secret love affairs. Funnily enough, the dev team at Paradox Interactive has already dialled back AI seduction after testers were bombarded with dozens of attempted seduction schemes when playing as female rulers. The most likely theory to explain the abundance of bastards in these games is that seduction in Crusader Kings 3 is pretty easy, with some players arguing AI seduction is now more potent than in Crusader Kings 2. Although I didn't find too many illegitimate children in my own save files, I did discover one of my sons had cuckolded the other. Since then, others have reported similar findings after delving into some of their own games in the debug mode, and now a community inquisition has begun into what's happening under the hood. "I mean I know this is the middle ages and everyone was having wacky sex with everyone all the time, but still this is a bit much." "Out of all the wives my characters had I believe it was just one that didn't produce any bastards or children with disputed heritage - the homosexual one," Alastor wrote on the Paradox forums. The revelation alarmed players who wanted to ensure their playthrough followed family lines, and who were disturbed by the idea all their supposedly legitimate children had actually been fathered by someone else. "My house is effectively no longer descended from its founder at all." "That's when I moused over myself: turns out my father was cucked too," MadHopper added. The warning was related to a mystery that many Crusader Kings 3 players have now spent days trying to solve, the question being: why are there so many hidden bastards in the game? When MadHopper hovered over his children in the game's debug mode, he discovered all but two of his 10 kids had been secretly fathered by someone else. "Don't turn on debug mode unless you want to see some terrible truths." "You've probably been cucked," said user MadHopper in an ominous warning to fellow Crusader Kings 3 players last week.

What I would propose you consider is a note to the effect "When originally published this rules element had a requirement for a specific nation or faction membership. As described on the site () this requirement is not clear (the name is displayed as "Slippery (Flower Network)" and no other mention is made of requirements. Originally with a different name, it required membership in the Bellflower Network faction and a degree of Fame there, so was not available to starting characters. The "Slippery (Flower Network)" trait is an example. While the embedded trait db list may indicate that membership in a certain faction or other origin is required, the detailed page does not indicate this well. What I see is players not realizing the renamed Traits are supposed to be limited there. Some traits in past Paizo Golarion-based products were limited to characters with specific in-world connections (specific Factions, National origins, etc.).

You make a ranged attack roll for each sword (with no penalties for range increments or using melee weapons as ranged weapons) each attack has the same threat range and critical modifier and deals the same damage as a standard sword of the type expended. You must have line of effect between you and the target, and the target must be within the spell’s range. You can create one sword for every 2 caster levels that you possess, up to a maximum of five swords at 10th level. "You create floating swords of the type used as the material component for this spell (such as a rapier or scimitar) and magically propel them at your target.

This action consumes the alchemical item, but transfers its effect to the weapon in question. At 2nd level, a grenadier can infuse a weapon or piece of ammunition with a single harmful alchemical liquid or powder, such as alchemist’s fire or sneezing powder, as a move action. 3/2/2023 0 Comments Inscryption mushroomThe mechanics of the card game itself coupled with the symbolism of sacrifice make the player complicit in the deaths of countless animals, weighing the value of their lives through a system represented by drops of blood. Each one is an other worldly spectacle that is both unsettling and captivating. His role is performative in a very theatrical sense, donning masks to represent different characters with different relationships to their natural environment (angler, woodcarver, my boy the mycologist etc.) All these channelled identities use the environment as resource, but they are so heavily immersed in the process of procurement and that we are not dealing with processes of industry. Your opponent in this strange game of cards is an ecoGothic spectacle if ever I saw one. Note: I highly recommend getting access to the beta if it is still on offer. To date I have played 83 hours of this relatively linear game, most of that in the beta of ‘Kaycee’s mod’. This game heavily relies on the element of surprise and I really don’t want to give anything away. All that is to say, I have no idea how I missed Inscryption. I’ve discovered some of my favourite games through being swept up in a wave of indie game enthusiasm. It happened with Undertale, Her Story and Return of the Obra Dinn. As a result of my gaming tastes coupled with laziness I often fall prey to the buzz creating indie darling of the moment. While I love a game that is strange and beautiful I feel terrible for not combing through itch.io looking for these undiscovered masterpieces. In my experience as an average video game consumer you don’t find indie gems, somehow they find you. 3/2/2023 0 Comments Blow up paddle boardThe arrival of dropstitch material – fabric that’s tied together by thousands of short threads that hold it in place for more rigidity when inflated – coated with PVC allowed for the creation of inflatable products with a high enough air pressure to support a paddler.

Our planting intent was to introduce a variety of understory tree and a heavy shrub and herbaceous layer with an emphisis on planting native material. As the site was largely an oak and ash woods infested with Norway maple and japanese honey suckle we essentially started with tall trees and open ground. The outer landscape was comprised of heavily planted trails and intimate open spaces for the client to preamble through. The immediate landscape around the main house was largely masonry terraces and flower gardens. Our task was to creat a series of terraces that were to house various functions such as the main house and forecourt, cottage, boat house and utility barns. topographically, it more or less continually sloped to the water. orignally, it was three properties having one house and various out buildings.

This strategy is set to boost market value due to the group’s established and extensive portfolio, with coal, copper, iron ore, and petroleum exploration extending across the Americas, Asia, Africa and America, as well as financial gains due to sound financial planning.

Environmental Puzzles Journey to the Savage Planet/505 Games Not every upgrade falls into these exact tiers, but its close enough. Finally, inventory upgrades let you carry more things, and lets you collect certain plants to act as grenades. While also improving the scanning radius. Visor upgrades dot the landscape for hidden collectibles. Locomotion upgrades unlock double (and triple) jumps, as well as high jumps. Combat upgrades make the piddly gun a trifle less piddly. Upgrades generally fall into a few categories: combat, locomotion, visor, or inventory. Killing enemies or shooting at certain rocks, gets you the materials you need to 3D print more stuff. It gives off the impression that combat is an afterthought, instead of something that actually matters. Even when you do hit enemies, they don’t recoil or notice. Shots ping off enemies like they don’t even feel them. I wouldn’t say the combat is bad, it just doesn’t feel good. Most enemies, at least the bigger ones, tend to have yellow/orange weak points which are very obvious. You do unlock upgrades to add in a charge shot (with a really bad mini-game), as well as damage boosts/speedier reloads, but it never actually feels good or impactful. You only ever have the pistol weapon, which is about as effective as a pea-shooter. Combat Journey to the Savage Planet/505 Games It helps immensely that the game differentiates what needs to be scanned, and what doesn’t. When you enter scan mode, the entire game takes a wireframe green look, except for new things to scan (yellow), or things you have currently scanned (orange). You can use your visor to scan different animals, plants, even walls, switches, and other mysterious items. Scanning is VERY much like Metroid Prime. You may have to gather the required materials for it (carbon, silicon or aluminum) to 3D Print it, but that’s about it. You’ll soon come to an impassable obstacle, wherein your robot companion tells you to come back to the ship (either teleport or walk) and you’ll be given an upgrade to get around it. The gun is obvious, you can shoot the plants/animals if you want. Starting out, a gun and a scanning visor are your basic tools. Except that you only explore one planet and there are actual objectives in the game too. Savage Planet really excels in the exploration part of its design. Aside from the dozens of different plants available for you to catalog, ARY-26, the planet you’re on is teaming full of strange life, some hostile and some not. Oh, also, you might check out an occasional alien artifact or two, on a supposedly uninhabited planet. So your job is to catalog all the various flora and fauna on the planet and report back. You land on a planet that needs to get surveyed for potential colonization and exploitation. The basic premise of Journey to the Savage Planet is that you are an employee of The 4 th Best Exploration Company, Kindred Aerospace. The Story Journey to the Savage Planet/505 Games Journey to the Savage Planet is more akin to the latter two examples, as it focuses much more on exploration, specifically vertical exploration, and less on combat. With some recent examples being Metroid Prime, Prey, and Alien: Isolation. Honestly, I can really only think of a few 3D Metroidvania games, especially ones from the first-person perspective. Obviously, this isn’t really new, but it is still a highly uncommon genre for 3D. Then, you can go back and mop up the areas you couldn’t get to previously. You’ll enter a new area and find a ton of blocked off passages that require specific items/abilities to get through. Eventually, you’ll find a boss or a key item that unlocks even newer areas too. Journey to the Savage Planet is basically a first-person Metroidvania game. Other than that it plays best in co-op and it might keep me from playing anymore Resident Evil 6 with my friend online. However, as we played it, I found myself really enjoying it, and it would be an easy recommendation, if not for a few small missteps that turn it from an excellent game to merely a good one. When I was asked to review Journey to the Savage Planet, I knew almost nothing about it. 3/2/2023 0 Comments Grizzly adventure parkThis is the night BEFORE the workshop begins.Īfter dinner we will walk along the shore of Lake Hood looking for waterfowl and moose, so have your camera gear with you and ready to go!

Big Red: A hot spot for combat during the early to mid stages of Tarkov progress and in the first 5 minutes of a raid in particular due to the focus on quests and spawn points in this area.In terms of loot Customs is squarely in the middle offering neither the best or worst loot of the Escape From Tarkov map pool meaning there is enough to offset your deaths in the long run but won’t be making you rich in Roubles. The map layout is also one of the easier ones to learn due to its basic design and size compared to other game maps (except for Factory). While one of the more dangerous maps for combat given the large number of early quests that are based here beginners will not want to entirely ignore Customs given how vital quests are to your PMC character level and thus unlocking flea market and trader access alongside a sense of accomplishment.Īccordingly you’ll want to sprinkle in some Customs raids in between my second and first suggestions to slowly build map familiarity and make progress towards your core quests. Ranked number three on my recommendation for Tarkov beginner maps is Customs, an industrial themed map with difficult choke points for new players. Players should also learn how to play Escape From Tarkov in offline mode which lets you test the ideas discussed below without the threat of PvP and you can even disable Scavs entirely. By layering this with careful choosing the time of your raid (transitions to day and night time are often most quiet) you can load into quiet Tarkov servers with a squad and reduce PvP further. I suggest you also consult the vast map information on the Escape from Tarkov wiki while reading the below as the maps from the community will prove invaluable in addition to the basic ones here. If you’ve recently been asking yourself what map should beginners start with on Tarkov then I recommend Customs, Interchange and Shoreline (read on to find out why, key locations and unique tips for each map). Once you master these I’d recommend moving onto Tarkov maps for loot and Scav runs. Be it acquiring loot to build a healthy stash, farm Scavs for combat practice or take advantageous PvP fights when they present themselves these 3 maps will see you through your early noob levels of Tarkov as a PMC. Your best defence as a new player is to carefully pick a map where you can start to play on your own terms and avoid significant PvP action. These suggestions can also be useful after a Tarkov wipe when you are looking to regain your stash value while answering the question of the best Tarkov map for beginners.Įscape From Tarkov can be a brutal experience for new players with a steep learning curve made even tougher by the no mercy playstyles of long-standing players and the gear you’ll lose in the process. With over 500 hours of Tarkov (see my Tarkov survivor stats at the end of this page) I’m here to share my new player suggestions on what is the best map to start on Tarkov and specialise in if I was to start from scratch.
