I really do miss how companions in previous games had distinct mechanics that helped define their personalities. DA:O especially, particularly with Sten who needed to be actively brought to places that triggered comments to get anything out of him, but DA:I had some of this too with Cole & discovering his 'pranks'.

Veilguard OTOH is purely formulaic - every companion quest progresses in the same way & ends with the player making one of two choices for them.

Thanks to weruuu for the suggestion --Farooq * Show class of teammates next to their nametag after HP. Farooq * Show a skull above head of bountied players, only observable by enemies. Farooq * Raise the minimum player bounty from 5 to 12. This is for preventing players from abusing the bounty system to put skull on other players. --Farooq « Fix the bug that players can get score for digging the heal block after the match ends and before start of a new match. Thanks to birdlover for the bug report --Farooq * Change heal block digging reward to 20 + 1 point for each 3 healed HPs. For instance if the heal block has added 300 HP, the dig reward will be 20 + 300/3 = 120. --Farooq * Increase persist time of dropped items. Now it takes longer for them to vanish. --Farooq * Buff the scout's rifle in classes by decreasing fire interval and therefore increasing fire rate. Scout is an underpowered class. We are looking for ways to make it more balanced. Do /feedback if you want to comment. --Farooq * Stop the medkit heal process if the user digs or places a node.

A drawing of a winged lady sitting cross-legged in a fur rug, holding an open book. The woman has long, upward curving horns and pointed ears. She has long, loose, messy purple hair and yellow irises. She's wearing a shoulderless fur-trimmed burgundy dress and paler burgundy leggings. From somewhere out of her back sprout large feathered wings which she has partially furled around her. The feathers of the wings are layered, with the upper and lower bands a charcoal blue while the middle band is a more vivid turquoise in colouration. She's looking up from her book at the viewer, a placid expression on her face; a soft golden glow shines down on her, the better for her to see what she's reading.

Alt...

A drawing of a mermaid sat on the ocean floor, looking up over her shoulder at the viewer. She has long vivid red hair that unfurls into the water behind her head like a cloud of serpents, a purple flower decorating her brow over her hairline. Her tail is wrapped beside her; her skin is pale aquamarine, darkening to teal and blue as it thickens into scales like a backless dress all the way down to her purplish tail-fins. Aside from the mermaid tail, she has some bestial features: tiny fangs, thick gills striating her neck, claws and small fins emerging from the sides of her arms. Meanwhile her eyes have yellow irises and dark scleras. She's smiling up at the viewer in a manner that may be either friendly or hungry.

Alt...

A drawing of an elf looking rather out of place. She has long green-and-black hair slung over one shoulder, bright cyan eyes and long pointed ears. She's wearing an open white shirt with a blue crop top underneath and striped green trousers with a wide black leather belt. She has a brown satchel slung over one shoulder. She's standing looking slightly bemused, one arm raised to the back of her head while the other arm holds her satchel by her hip. She appears to be standing somewhere hot, the silhouette of a city skyline behind her under an orange sky. An abstract broken halo hovers behind her head as a stylised indicator of confusion or alertness.

Alt...

A drawing of a devil-lady in a short glossy lilac dress. She has indigo hair, cut short with a sloped fringe. She has long pointed ears and green eyes. She's striking a sultry pose, one hand on her knee. Her leathery wings are raised up, but remain mostly furled. Her tail wraps around her arm and leg. She looks like she's about to go out clubbing: that's clubbing as in going to nightclubs, not hitting people. That would be wrong.

So I have "gaming" #laptop which came with 500 GB #nvme drive and space for other #HardDisk. I moved system (three partitions, /, /home and /opt which I somehow use like D drive on Windows ) to this nvme and put 500 GB #ssd drive from previous laptop in empty space. This ssd drive is used for #Steam library as a whole. And later I got 5 TB drive (not ssd) for birthday and it's also used for additional Steam library. And now it's almost half full.

What's wrong with me?

Auf @itchio läuft gerade der Summer Sale. Und da konnte ich nicht anders, als meine Sammlung der @novabox Spiele zu vervollständigen.

Ich mag einfach diese künstlerisch sehr ansprechenden Zeichnungen sowie die Musik.

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet update: Harpy 🪺 and Intellect Devourer 🧠. Need to find two more tiny monsters to fill that square or I'll go mad. 🔥🐉

Next up is J. I may expand from the Monster Manual since there's only one option, but we'll see.

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet update: the Jabberwock! 😱

I went to the 5e Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure book for my J monster. As I read more about the Jabberwock, it definitely qualified as a "boss" monster, so I designed it as such.

They're almost never seen in their entirety, inhabit primal forests, and no more than one has ever been seen at a time.

D&D 5e Monster Manual sprite sheet continues.

I accidentally did L and forgot K. So I went back to do K. Also, gave the Ettin a simple little animation.

Tonight we have the Kobold and the Lich! Went for a cosmic sort of vibe with the lich, and classic dragon's den sort of kobold.

Went with the Minotaur this time! 🐂🔥

5e's monster manual describes them as more demonic sort of creatures than I initially imagined, so I decided to lean into that interpretation more.

Lich's hood was slightly adjusted.

About half way done with the sprite sheet! 🧙‍♂️✨

Feel free to leave suggestions for fantasy monsters of any sort, I may or may not decide to draw it. 💖
