[Culise]

Went in to the last level of Durlag's Keep and the dreaded Demonknight that had just wiped the floor with a band of adventurers immediately prior to me.  I was all set for the massive battle royale that would ensue, buffed to the gills and ready for buttkicking and goodness.  I forgot, however, that I had given Xan some Darts of Stunning to use.  Xan popped off a natural 20 on the hit, the Demonknight flubbed the save, and I simply went up and stabbed it until it died.  Problem solved, and the world is saved from a vile force of darkness that planned on using the Keep as its base for a reign of terror.  We might have to jazz it up a bit for the bards, though; I'm not entirely certain shanking the black knight while he can't move is entirely...glorious.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

[SOLDIER First]

Dead Money: All gold bars were stolen from the vault.

...How?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I know one way is to have a gib of some sort with you like a head, put all the gold bars in the gib's inventory, then grab and drag the head out since you still move at normal speed that way, then right before you leave take them out of the head's inventory. I'm not sure if that's how Croc did it, but it is a way.

Dead Money: All gold bars were stolen from the vault.

...How?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBs96uppw8M (Warning, the author of the video has low volume on his microphone!)
If you don't have time to watch the video:
1. Take all gold bars, then crawl towards the vault terminal. I assume that you already played through the DLC, so proceed as usual...
2. Speech/Barter check Elijah. Maybe the other skill checks will work.
3. Crawl out from the vault and look to the right. You'll see a pillar which you can use for hiding behind it. (As a note, it's good to use Stealth-boy from locker located in the vault...)
4. When Elijah will move towards the vault, start to circle around the pillar. When he's near the vault, start to crawl towards the exist. It'll be also good if you stop sneaking when you're near the stair (Warning! I had to use Implant GRX perk (non-addictive Turbo doses every day) in order to crawl fast enough.)
5. If everything went well, congrats! You're now basically Bill Gates of the Mojave Wasteland! And yea, don't forget to store gold bars in the locker, which is located near the exit to the Mojave's surface...

Stealth-shanked an Uruk guarding some slaves. The slaves ran, and another Uruk on the floor above came to investigate. As he jumped down a ladder, the last thing he saw, probably in the same slow-motion I saw him, was my bow at his face as he fell.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Does dying actually benefit you in this game? I was killed by a captain and his power went up.

[Twinwolf]

Dying shuffles things around and levels up whoever killed you (this includes bog standard uruks and orcs - if you get killed by a mook, they're a captain now) - to a point, you are expected to die. You could probably take advantage of it and level up a captain so you can get a better reward out of killing them.

Been replaying old Desktop Dungeon freeware and as i had removed it long time ago , i had lost all of the unlocks.

And wow i didn't remembered on how some of the challenges for some of them were insane, requiring much more luck than the normal dungeon to have the correct altars to get along the character/class required and early access to some spells/specific enemy to levelup fast without wasting too much of the fog (as it is helpfull to refill health and mana, so exploring too much to find what is needed and you'll not have enough fog to refill when needed).

That was the case of the Factory challenge that to unlock the last 2 classes had a requirement of completing it with a Wizard.
I didn't remembered how i did before as it's been so many years, so after checking a big of the internet, i found the best setup.

And so my elven wizard went at it, again, and again ... and again so many times, until finally luck was on my side and i had the best setup and finally unlocked those Crusader and Tinker on that same win.

find the fireball early without exploring too much
find the Jehora Jhiwatshisname altar early too, the Polymorph ability you can get from it is a must because both bosses are unkillable in normal condition by a wizard (one boss have way too much health and the other one has way too much magic resistance that makes your fireball make super small damage)
find a level 9 animated armor very early so you can skyrocket from level 1 to level 6 near 7 by hitting its death wards with fireball and refilling with fog exploration until it had no more death wards and its 1HP would then allow you to kill it with another fireball
find the 2 bosses , then once you have enough piety use the polymorph skill to make the 2 boss more spell assault friendly
if you're lucky and both new bosses are spell assault friendly, you then have a chance, and i was luck because i had then to face the ghost boss (that main point is having physical protection, so fireballing it wasn't a problem) and the goblin (that still had a few magic resistance, fortunately the additional mana potion i got helped)
buy any object that can help you with mana, i was lucky to have an additional potion of mana purchasable this time, good i had max gold because it was the whole cost too

ideally if you get the poison spell it's even better as you can prevent those boss to refill health in case you run out of potion/mana and must refill to cast more fireballs. I wasn't lucky to get one, fortunately the extra-mana potion i had gave me the win.

still need a few races to unlock and i'm done again with this game for a couple of years.

[EnigmaticHat]

You should possibly consider buying the full game.  It adds a ton of content and depth compared to the free one while still being about the same game.  Also it has real graphics.

[Robsoie]

Got burned out of it by playing way too much of it years ago , not going to go play more of the same but with prettier graphics.

[Tawa]

I finally got one final Rathalos Ruby, allowing me to complete my Rathalos Soul set that's been in the making for like half a year now.

Desire Sensor, begone!

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Sniper Elite 4, mission 8.
The whole facility is silent aside from explosions, and I go to kill the big cheese, had to sprint to get into position and as such had no ability to hold my breath. So I fired on a guess with no aim assist aside from being zeroed to 100m and then, Kill Cam, apparently I hit the engine intake. He never got off the ground.

Wielding the mighty axe of an ancient king of the Nords, I walked into an orphanage and jammed it into the backside of the old woman running it, in full view of the children.

They cheered. She was kind of a massive bitch.

Skyrim SE, killing Grelod with Wuuthrad. Also, am Dark Brotherhood now. They don't really like getting killstealed.

I don't think anyone likes her.

[Rolan7]

I remember there being some gaming article that attempted to defend her, but I can't find it.  Instead I got reminded of...

Spoiler: Minor spoilers I suppose (click to show/hide)

The room full of shackles and straw... yeah. 
And of course she beats them, is an extreme species-ist, and arbitrarily won't even let anyone adopt them.

I'm mostly seeing mod discussion about making the assistant not freak out at all (which seems a bit odd).  Or in a couple of creepy cases, making Grelod even worse.

[Akura]

I can understand the assistant(who takes over the orphanage afterwards - and lets you adopt if you want) freaking out if you brutally murder Grelod. She's actually a good person who tries to protect the children.

Just did the contracts to kill the vampire sawyer and the Orc bard. Hern was easy enough, I broke into his house during the day, announced my intent and battled him in single combat. Keeping the Blood Dragon that attacked afterwards away from his wife(who was outside) was the hard part. But I did, and I can still buy logs for my house from her.


The bard though, was just a matter of sitting in the corner of his inn room and headshotting him from about 10 feet away. The fact that so many people performed the Black Sacrament on him that Astrid had to do a lottery to see who would the one to pay for the contract is hilarious though. He really was that bad of a bard.
