with the old system it sonetimes happened that a seemingly random companion was selected for important story moments.

but the new system defaulting to the players “main” character is not perfect either obviously.

they changed which character gets priority in dialogue in some patch a while a go.

what normally works is to split your party and park your own character somewhere behind your party.

agpl does not “steal” sales, but i have to give my users the source code under a gpl compatible license, that includes that they redistirbute the code however they see fit.

that scares many people, but i guess they forget that your game is more than code and the license does not cover assets

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

i am playing on steam deck, so i only know the controller ui, but with that i just choose the attack action again just like i would with a martial characters extra attack.

it’s not a special icon or anything

you have to make a weapon or unarmed attack with your action first, after that you can use your bonus action to attack again.

yes, hex/hunters mark/lightning charges etc. only trigger once per hit on honor, but the biggest thing to keep in mind are:

pact of the blade does not stack with extra attack from other classes and your bonus action from being hasted will only grant one attack.

however stacking many damage riders and fishing for crits is still very viable.

obi-wan kobra and anitaur are not real, they can’t hurt me!

Coffee in that nebula there is.
