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.
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.
All this "people drank beer because water was unsafe" is just an urban myth: https://lemm.ee/comment/4891280
It's actually very historically accurate. Water was usually polluted and generally considered undrinkable, mild alcoholic beverages were the norm.
heatedly discussed - factoid
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.

factoid /ˈfaktɔɪd/ noun an item of unreliable information that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact.
Sounds like heaven, until you develop alcoholism.

Lol, wow. Now I feel completely different about all this wine I found in a zombie infested distillery. Dang it, Bobby!
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.
So you want Raphael to get rid of my personal bubble? The horror!
Crouch hotkey should affect summons, not just the 4 main characters in the party
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.
Actually just hold down for like a second, works on controller.
That'll make everyone crouch? Awesome! I'll give it a try tonight.
Yep! Whoever you are controlling and who is currently grouped up.
Outstanding! Thank you.
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)
There is a auto listen in option in the settings.
Whaaaat? Where?

"Make it like 12... No, 13 inches."
increases width to 13 inches
BJs would be like 😬
For radial menus to remain the way I set them up.
"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."

"Fuck, yes."
Sculpted spells on Druid for npc.
I really struggle to use druid spells because it feels like every spell they got do aoe.
I am not asking for my team, they have to walk it off but I ask for every npc.
I am tired that druid ends her turn with full spell slots because she can’t cast a single spell that won’t cause neutral npc not demanding her head.
I wonder if there is the same problem for the tabletop RPG or they made an unfortunate adjustment compared to it.
It is, low level as a land druid on 5e my goto spells were the flaming sphere, spike growth and call lightning.
If you're in a crowded area, heat metal is very reliable.
But as a rule, unless you're a wizard or you explicitly build for it, the AOE nature of spells is going to be a problem.
It’s the same in 5e so it happens quite often that druids accidentally hit other players.
But in those cases you hit npc, you can yell to npc(dm) sorry! And not get whole town to kill you because you didn’t count the how far the aoe goes.
