Gotta say... I'm not a fan of the Quickdraw Army

Doing my first Claire B run, and I am struggling with this gun on Standard difficulty.

I have two issues with it really. First is that it takes forever to reload. It's like 1 bullet per second reload time. Second, it seems very easy to accidentally fire more shots than you need to when using it. I am always out of handgun ammo, and I can't craft it with small gunpowders because it takes its own ammo, and small powders seem better for acid rounds anyways.

I'm almost thinking I need to stash it and just use the grenade launcher almost exclusively, saving the handgun ammo, and maybe try using it on bosses or something (I don't know).

It still takes like 8 headshots to permanently down zombies with the Quickdraw, and I think I've only popped 1 head in 20ish zombies.

Having completed my first B scenario, I can understand why people don't see Sherry as Leon's wife.

I had only played the original 1998 RE2, and that was almost 30 years ago, so I had a very foggy rendition of how the B scenario played out, but I didn't recall all the things that happened at the end of the B scenario that were then clarified in the Remake.

Sherry asking if Leon and Claire are boyfriend and girlfriend, and asking if they will adopt her definitely eliminated any possibility of Sherry and Leon having a relationship. I doubt they actually adopt her since Sherry never calls Leon "Dad" or anything similar in RE9, but I think it definitely puts more weight on Claire possibly being his wife.

Anyone who have made custom boxes to store their whole collections, any tips?

We have pretty much all the villains for Disney, and it's 10 boxes at this point I think. We want to figure out an easier storage solution and just wanted to get some ideas from people who may not be handy like me that managed to solve their own version of this problem.

Need advice for the Voeld Architect

I am playing on Insanity, so I get it's supposed to be tough, but the fight is in a Level 2 Cold environment, and even with Back Up Life Support, I am usually out of life support within a few seconds. Is there some warmth somewhere I'm not seeing?

Do I need to complete a playthrough just for one missing file?

Trying to get the trophy to collect all files, and I realized I missed one file in Leon B in the STARS office when I just did his B run.

I still have to get files for Claire B, and I was curious if I can just speed run to the STARS office and grab the file for Leon, then quit and start Claire's B run.

Which scenario is the easiest to get Minimalist and Small Carbon Footprint?

I need these two trophies, and I need to do some speed runs as well for both characters. No sure which character and which A or B is the easiest to do the no item cheat and under 14000 steps on.

What movie have you been the most hyped for only to be the most disappointed by when it released?

For me, I remember as a teenager in the '90s always hearing about how there needed to be an Aliens vs Predator movie. There was a lot of hype for both franchises, and the xenomorph skull in Predator 2, as well as video games or other media, helped fuel the idea.

​

Fast forward a decade and wish granted we got the AVP movie, and even a sequel a few years after that. They made the movie PG-13 for unknown reasons and the only likeable characters were all unceremoniously killed off very quickly. I was honestly left feeling rather pissed off leaving the theater.

I think I like the Mandy romance over the Courtney.

My first playthrough, I romanced Visi and I thought the narrative felt absolutely perfect. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way the Blonde Blazer romance could top that.

I did a second game romancing no one and villainizing Visi, which was hard for me. But it gave me some insight on how it's possible to hurt both girls because I turn down Blazer's second date after her moment of vulnerability the night before.

Finally I played where I romanced Blazer and still mentored Visi perfectly, and it honestly felt like the best. Blazer needs Robert just as much as Visi does. I didn't really realize it in my first game. Her need to be accepted as Mandy as much as Blazer, and her lack of confidence that most people wouldn't accept Mandy over Blazer if she was herself more. By romancing Mandy and saying that Robert doesn't care if he will date Mandy or Blazer, whatever she is comfortable with, is strangely just as healing as reforming Visi.

After I completed my Mandy romance playthrough, I felt like I actually helped everyone. Not just Z-Teamers, and being a proper mentor to Visi, but giving Mandy the confidence that she is desired as a Normie too.

How much time passes in each episode of the game?

I am doing a Blonde Blazer romance, and it seems a bit awkward that she just broke up with Phenomaman and I'm already on a date with her. It doesn't feel like it can be a 'next day' kind of thing, but there doesn't seem to be many indications of actual time lapse. The few I've gotten were there was a lapse between the prologue and becoming a dispatcher of a few weeks, and I think Robert says something about "a few months (or weeks ago)" in the board room on chapter 7.

I was surprised at how many people cut Coupé.

I cut Sonar on my first playthrough because between Sonar and Coupé, she seemed like she needed the Phoenix Program more. She also seemed the most likely to want to kill Robert for embarrassing her, and likely going back to violent crime.

Sonar seemed more likely to go get wasted and mull about his prospects. The bonus reason for cutting him was I was failing a ton of my dispatches because I always had him bat form when I needed intelligence as a stat, and I rarely ever needed a character with Combat and Vigor because of Golem and Punch Up. I started making Visi more intelligent just so I could have someone reliable.

When I got to the end of the game, it surprised me that two thirds of the players kept Sonar over Coupé. I'm not sure what I missed cutting him, but I actually really enjoyed having Coupé and she was one of my most reliable heroes. She had some great dialogue during dispatching too.

I honestly hope we are not looking at a future Darth Talon

I'm fine with Devon being trained by Maul, and possibly doing some sketchy stuff. But Maul isn't a Sith Lord anymore, and I hope they go in a different direction.

I am not hoping for Devon to stay purely good, but I would like to see her transition to an anti-hero in a way where she does many bad things for the right reasons; Maul training her to use her Rage, and she has to control it. She could abandon everything about being a Jedi, and fight a constant inner battle in herself.

I think it would be a bit disappointing to fully corrupt and make her irredeemable as she is someone you actively root for in Season 1, almost always worried about her. We don't need a mirror of Anakin's story. We need more force users in the gray area.

How much of a learning curve is the 5.5 Beyond Mod over the base game?

I just started messing around with the mods on console after a year off from playing. This mod looked interesting because it added classes like Gunslinger, but when I started a new game, I had a ton of new actions, skills didn't work the same that I remember, and I had to use a healing dice for resting.

Everything started off pretty jarring. However I also noticed that some things are more improved. I was able to instantly learn a couple of spells for Gale and Shadowheart (not sure why a Cleric needs to learn spells) using Magic Initiate. I also noticed that Shadowheart's Fire Bolt seemed way better. Weapon skills seem gone, like Cleave.

Since it's a mod, the game doesn't really teach you the new changes. So how big of a transition am I looking at? Does the mod play well on Honour Mode, or am I asking for trouble there?

Which races/classes make the least sense as Dark Urge?

I mean strictly speaking. I'm sure many people would say that any race and any class is fine if you want to believe it hard enough and make your own back story. But from a non-roleplay perspective, just strictly from the lore, are there certain things that require a few too many logic leaps to make it work?

I just found the funniest way to get Shart out of her pod.

I've never played a Barbarian before, and I might have to play one every time and respec with Withers on the beach after I literally just ripped the pod door off and freed Shadowheart lol.

Why does Enrico think Chris is a traitor, but not Jill? (RE1R)

Are all the mods on Console easy and safe to use?

Reposting from the Baldur's Gate sub since I didn't know this sube existed, lol.

I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 in about 18 months. I was kind of getting an itch to play it again, and redownloaded it to my PS5. I was looking through the mods because it interests me to add some new subclasses or races/subraces, but I wasn't sure which ones are up to date, best to use, and easy to use. There are A LOT of mods lol.
