Have you done something with RH\SH dolls that you considered to be a "sin", idk like not picking up your grail on sale or giving away your fav doll?

Mine is not getting Veronica. I was hunting online some pre-loved dolls and saw the person having the storm twins in tired, but mostly complete state. I got Naomi but refused to get Veronica. My budget was not great and she had a number of things against her - she had bangs (which I irrationally hate and always de-bang), her outfit was similar to Daphne but in violet (and I didn't like the fabric), I also really hated the bubble face hole and didn't want to figure out how to fix it without it being obvious.

What's interesting, I do not regret it BUT in the same time I never forget about it for years, and feel like it is my "sin" that I have separated the sisters. Silly as it may sound!

If I'd have the chance to get them NIB, ofc, I'd keep her, but it was a totally different set of circumstances.

Anybody changed their minds seeing dolls in person? I just got to Smyth Toys wanting Clair so bad but when I saw her in person, I got a bit disappointed. I wanted her to be more like g3 Catty probably, but she has Drac's proportions but even smaller, so it ended up looking kinda weird to me (extremely tiny chest and wide hips). Plus I really wanted more contrast to black-blue colors (like she looks in her screening) and yet her face print looks more pale/toned down, less contrasted.

Instead I fallen in love with my second favorite, Willow, she's even better in person and just charming, and really want Rae Lumina now, her colors and outfit are so beautiful. They didn't have Carina, unfortunately, but I'm sure she'll come.

I left with Willow and can't wait to unpack her! My G3 Venus gonna finally have a gf who's into plants too!

Btw, if you're in Austria, go check your Smyth Toys! Müller doesn't have them yet.

Still giving away SG items, 🧡 Window, Poster, Accessoires, rug 

💙 Player 

Giftback would be nice (plant-flower furniture, animal costumes, plushies), but not strictly necessarily. I just want to try give the stuff to people who want it as it's limited, otherwise I'll sell it. 

Leave your code, tell me what item you want.

I'm like 6 h in and got to the Golden Grove. The game is pretty cool (although the the handholding is a bit much atp), love the art and storytelling, but the mindnumbing unavoidable trash fights drive me nuts. I just did probably at least 30 trash fights back to back while exploring Golden Grove - literally I defeat the monster, make 3 steps to check the nook for chests, turn around and it has already respawned. They are all the same, so I just sit there mashing buttons just to go from point A to point B and then rinse and repeat because surely we're backtracking again for the lil spirit who wants to show us his new cool spell.

And I can't quit and return when I am more in the mood for that, because you can't save in "dungeons".

So, is there any way to avoid the mind-numbing repetitive trash fights so I can at least navigate in peace instead of force-grinding? Or will it be further in the game? In dungeons I can't even ran away because narrow passages, I just position myself to disadvantage.

The art and the spirit of the game are so charming but the trash fights just drive me crazy. I encountered the exact same battle mechanics in Digimon Cyber Sleuth and probs was one of the reasons I just DNF-ed at certain point, and I really want to play this game.

So, this went totally not how I expected it to go. It was my 4th run and 1st tactitian (in DoS2 and in general). The funny thing is, I was so afraid of getting my ass kicked but tbh, the hardest were the earliest levels (enabled respect def helped) despite always experimenting a bit with builds plus I never optimize too much (i.e., I never used Apotheosis and rarely used skin graft).

It felt a lot like playing on normal, just bit more challenging, so the same way I could also fight and win combat 1-2 level over (just in this case, it was a more challenging and needed more precision/planning).

The battles I dreaded the most I managed totally fine - namely, Arx, late battles went completely okay a lot of because I finally tried the green tea (used it only 3 times - in finals, Isbeil and Doctor fight). The Doctor fight without Lohse went with no drama, because I accidentally stole something and all nurses aggroed on me (without Doctor himself), so in the end I managed to bunch him up with his demons, entangle, blood rain and put on finishing touches. Took like 3 turns, I wasn't so surprised the whole game.

I even did the full final fight with the second coming of Kraken and while it was a bit tricky, wasn't bad at all (the only little cheese I used is throwing a barrel of deathfog at the start to take out Lucian and Gheist). Before the Lucian's Tomb I was at the end of level 20 naturally, so I broke my rule and killed a couple of non-villains (trolls in the theives' den), plus I got a second assasins' ambush after I've already defeated Doctor, so I got to level 21.

Discovered a couple of caches I totally didn't remember and finally managed to retrieve the ball for Arhu's doggo (and got almost 100k XP for that, iirc).

The most useful spell that was proven until the end, was the Worms Tremor with the Torturer talent, I literally used it even in the last battle and it always helped, despite not having geo or pyro this run. The second most useful items were: charm arrows/bombs (and mind maggot bombs in Arx) and knockdown arrows (used only in the hardest fights).

Run was no-civilians kill (like always for me), no deathfog till final, magisters are free game, technically 3 and 1 comp, so Scoundrel-Poly, Necro with some Aero and Geo (movement and cc), Aero-Hydro with some huntsman for more damage and almost pure Huntsman with a tad of Pyro for Haste and Clear Mind. Everyone got morning person because otherwise ressurections are useless.

Bonus, finally saw the ending when the God King takes over, never saw it before (reloaded, ofc). The Beast singing his signature song in the saddest deadest voice got to me.
