Launching Duergar into lava was weirdly satisfying.
When I tried to huck them into the river (specifically the invisible fucker near the boat in the shoreline encounter) and it wouldn't let me? You're gawdamned right, I was ready to be pissed if I couldn't do likewise into the lava. Instead? Karlach tossed every dwarf she should reach... and they actually recorded audio for lava-induced death. 🥹 (At least the actor did for the main dwarf dude, IIRC)

I feel like the careful design of encounters went out the window with Act 3. Twice this week I tried to use Telekinesis to throw someone and couldn't because low railings were in the way. I'm also getting a ton more red lines when shoving people.
And like this, you CAN loot the corpses :p
Weird to claim larian never meant you to play in a manner they specifically gave you the ability to do.
It’s not a serious claim. It’s a funny article about how the author pushes people off cliffs instead of fighting enemies with swords and magic.
I learned from Dark Souls that the only thing nobody can defeat is gravity. Larian must be fans.
Repelling eldritch blast, push, throw people, pushing unarmed attacks, pushing superiority attacks, pushing flourishes, repelling arrows... I love my toys.
This mirrors tabletop D&D, which amounts to how much bullshit can we get away with.
Telekinesis. There is even a necklace or ring that has this spell on it. Edit: It:s gloves
Yeah, I've been using it, it's great.
Yeet
I was kinda sad that using Telekinesis to drop a >!Steel Watcher on top of a Gondian!< didn't do more damage.
I literally could not beat Viconia. Literally. Could. Not. I tried like 15 times, all different spells, arrangements, tactics, strategies, preparations, party members. Whatever. So I talked to her with a split party and send karlach to dispatch her during conversation in 3 hits. So I cheated. Whatever. Sue me!! I beat all the other bosses fair and square!!!!!
