 The history lesson teaching the children why they must care about their civilisation is possibly the most based thing I've seen all game.

 The entrance into the Depths under Tobio's Hollow. The first time you go there, you enter a cutscene and appear below; but if you actually go back there, you can slowly descend into the Depths. It's a simple thing; but after a dozen or so chasms, I found it impressive they had a different way you could use to make it down there.

 I found all the lightroots in the Depths. They give you an item that seems to do nothing. But at least it's not a golden turd like with the korok seeds on BotW.

 @Rasterman I thought I had done that, but I never got a medal - guess I must have missed one :thinkin: 
 @Christi Junior Thought the same days ago, thinking the game just had no acknowledgement for lighting up the Depths; but then I saw there was this one with a tiny amount of darkness surrounding it. Miniscule. You'd have to inspect the map carefully to find it. 
 Guys, you're not gonna want to miss this pro tip.

So, after completing the last lightroot, I found a Yiga base I hadn't seen before. It was right under a chasm. As I finish, the dragon music kicks in. I look up and it's Farosh entering the Depths through that chasm. Making use of my endgame item, the paraglider, I climb on it.

If you strike the dragon from above, the item that falls off it is actually there for a moment and you can grab it without jumping off the dragon.

Dragons take ~10 minutes to recharge before you can get another item from them. You know what that means? If you stay on the dragon an hour you'll get six pieces! :0060: It's easy dragon parts! :0330:

 It has not been a good day until I hear a korok make that sound. :0550:

 Looking at a major boss flying around while I ride a dragon.
The Depths have a unique vibe. :0010:

 I played the first one on a borrowed switch. I don’t really feel like bothering this person again so is this game worth buying a switch for? 
 @:catnoears: Royper :gundam:  Depends on how much you enjoyed the previous game.

If you liked the previous one, then definitely.

Less objectively now: if you don't find this game worth buying a Switch, I'm not sure any other game could justify the purchase either. 
 @Rasterman @:catnoears: Royper :gundam:  I'd say Xenoblade 2 and 3, Mario Odyssey and Smash Ultimate are all superior Switch exclusives to the Zelda games. 
 @Christi Junior @:catnoears: Royper :gundam:  What a nonsensical post; but I'd guess you'd have to be a big Zelda fan like me to see it. 
 Bro, those birds are paper-thin. And here I was thinking I could hunt them. They're straight out of a Game & Watch stage.

If this game had been made by a AAA Western studio, those birds would've been real and taken an extra GB of space in the cartridge due to their unoptimised 4K textures.

 I don’t want to hurt the dragon 
 @Turdicus, of the Rain If the dragon doesn't like me taking its scales, why doesn't it attack me? :thinkin: I say the dragon is generous and likes giving you fangs and claws. 
 @Rasterman ....I can see why you have so many hours in this game. 
 @Rasterman If The Game Award pedophiles snub TotK for GOTY, you now know why (that, and Baldur's Gay 3 being pozzed and promoting literal animal-fucking). 
 The weird part of BG3 is that the animal fucking us a miniscule part of the game that can only happen if you romance a certain character in a certain way. Why it was promoted as a big deal or a key part is only explainable if they were actively trying to appeal to degens which again is weird because the other 99.9% of the game has nothing to do with that 10 second scene. 

I really just don't get it at all. Why advertise shit like that for your game? Public perception of the game goes from "best RPG released this year, GOTY for sure" to "pozzed animal fucking game for degen fucks" as soon as you show and promote degeneracy like that. 
 @SapientPearwood @Rasterman They're absolutely actively pandering to sick fucks. Keep in mind, while the beastiality might just be one scene, the game as a whole is full of poisonous garbage:

 @Christi Junior @SapientPearwood @Rasterman yeah arent most of the female characters also bossy dykes?

there's also some shit related to non-binary shit on the character maker right? 
 @43a37488 @Rasterman @SapientPearwood The character creator alone makes Baldur's Gate 3 shit in my eyes:

It only lets you select "body type" and "identity", not your sex, "nonbinary" is a valid category, the default human being is a nigger etc. 

Some people also mock the game for having a vitiligo option. I have no strong opinions on that, but apparently that's also a somewhat advanced form of virtue signaling. 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood yep also you can't really make good looking female characters.
most options have a certain level of dykeness to them 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood Vitilogo is straight up Tumblrism diversity shit. I know a guy who has it and the topic is very awkward to even breach but every hint I get is that he'd much rather not have it. 
 I know a guy who has it but he's white and you'd never know he had it unless he told you.

I've known him for maybe a decade and had no idea. 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood @43a37488 specifically what I mean by Tumblrism is that it gets pushed by Tumblr centric artists and/or orbiters of those kind of circles. If you see some fan art or an OC with vitiligo you can guarantee it's a piece by some they/them weirdo fetishizing a skin illness. 
 @52791e0c @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood So it's a weirdo fetish, and not diversity/representation bullshit? 
 The character creator bullshit really had me pissed off. No one wants to start out with nignog characters. Jesus, just give me a fucking Drow if you want to start out with a dark skinned character, not some retarded jungle bunny. 
 @Christi Junior @43a37488 @SapientPearwood I've seen a tad of BG3 gameplay because Warski made an Ethan Ralph dwarf and PPP reads his lines in character. Seems like a real game with real mechanics... but with that much pandering for the worst people in society, it's never gonna be a good game to me. :drake_dislike: 
 a meatboy obstacle course to avoid having gay sex 
 The weirdest part to me was when Astarion asks to feed on you to sate his craving for blood. Reasonable request but instead of being a normal non-sexual thing there were heavy sexual undertones and it leads to Astarion having a hard-on for you for the rest of the game. Absolutely disgusting. 
 that doesn't surprise me too much since vampires have been sex objects for weird women and weirdos in general for decades, but it's still gross 
 @Christi Junior GOTY is clearly going to be Baldur's Gate 3. With all the homosexuality in it, it couldn't be any other way.

That line alone disqualifies the game from any Western media award show. The question would be if the game journalists made it past the Great Sky Island. Remember this is an annoying game with combat that distracts from the gameplay.

 @Rasterman Gaming Would Be Much Better Without The Journalists 
 @Rasterman @Christi Junior been playing zolda lately.

im kinda enjoying the combat just because you can use almost anything as a weapon and that appeals to my sadistic side :doge_laugh: 
 @43a37488 @Rasterman Some random combinations are remarkably effective, especially in terms of shit you can stick on your shield. 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman i really like using the flamethrower shield

or sticking red slime to a shield because it explodes :doge_laugh: 


also been using the fans to push enemies of cliffs or using bat wings to get precise shoots at those bokoblin convoys that carry green slime parts 
 Especially the kart and bomb shields I would not have known if I wasnt such an autist 
 @Christi Junior @43a37488 I tried a lot of shield combos trying to find a way to finish the unlit shrine. It seems the wing and fan do nothing. For a moment, I thought I could maybe shield surf and then glide; but the only way to do that was behind Ganondorf. 
 @43a37488 @Christi Junior Good. Basically, if you can target something with Ultrahand, you can also use Fuse on it, so there are a lot of combinations to try. 
 @Rasterman @Christi Junior yes, tho i still find funny the idea of ussing a boomerang with a rock attached to it to kill enemies :doge_laugh: 
 @43a37488 @Christi Junior Just two days ago I tried attaching a wing to a boomerang to find it flies farther and faster.

Try a Zonai flamethrower on it for a shitshow. :laugh_evil:
