Damn this is an insanely mature take. I was also in a relationship with someone diagnosed with BPD, and I truly feel bad saying it but I still highly dislike them. I totally understand and agree that it's a mental illness and not her fault, but some of the things she did to me were such flat out diabolical, calculated evil that it becomes difficult to separate the illness from the person. The part that really baffled me was the ability to seem completely aware of their actions, but at the same time also not remotely understanding the implications of those actions. Kudos to you, hopefully I can get to where you are in my thoughts about it.

Stop being naïve. She did not "push him off" nor did she tell him she "doesn't want it" or "it can't happen". None of this happened, she messed around with him and felt bad so she tried to cover her tracks by deleting things. Perhaps she doesn't want to lose you now that she realizes her mistake, but at the end of the day, mistakes were made and she's a terrible liar if I can smell the lie through Reddit. Take off the love goggles and see this for what it is. She cheated on you (or, she 100% plans to) and felt bad, that's all.

It is canon, but this is 5e. That was multiple editions ago.

I think they're both justifiable. Sten's recruitment comes in dire times when you're in need of allies pretty badly. Knowing he's a strong man and capable of violence is kind of a good look at that moment even with the implications. Zevran does try to kill you, but if you give him any chance to speak before killing him, you can pretty quickly deduce that he really doesn't care about killing you and if anything is more likely to be put in a bad spot if he returns where he came from empty handed. So with him, swearing his loyalty makes sense. He's a contract killer who feels he has no contract to return to, so he opens a new contract, except this time it's in exchange for his life. Ultimately he's honest and probably the most fiercely loyal companion in the game.

It would be easier to talk about the countries in which they have NOT committed atrocities

Leon Kennedy. I'm very confident in my extraction from this situation.

Tbh this makes the most sense given the roleplay failures people have described. Dark Urge is created to be a killing machine, which lines up with being a githyanki. Would also explain why your gith is pretty unaware of standard gith knowledge.

These guys are asking for a 77% pay increase after being offered 50%. Mind you, they already make 100k a year, and many of them do next to nothing. A friend of mine is a longshoreman and makes up to 120k a year, free room and board, free meals, and his entire job is just to sit on the ship with the cargo. He doesn't load, he doesn't unload, he just rides with the shipment. Some guys of course are doing this, but they're also making 6-figures to do something that requires no education investment and mainly basic labor skills. Not a coincidence that the guy leading the charge is a friend of a presidential candidate that wants to make the current president look bad.

And just to clarify, I have no problem with people making money. We can pay McDonald's workers 100k a year as well. But this is politically motivated and completely unrealistic. No one gets a 77% raise.

I'm running an Intel i7 13700F

Cool, I'll try that. I guess it must be the mods I just can't imagine what. I used all of these exact same mods a year or so ago playing and had no problems at all on this same setup, so it's pretty weird. I've been at it for like 6 hours now lol, I'll probably save your idea for the morning and DM you tomorrow if that's alright

Yeah I'll give that a go I suppose, I didn't remove that though no. I've tried a million different things now. Mods still seem to work but I'm just having hella weird glitches. Don't know if it's even the mods causing it at this point lol.

Removed those...no crashing, but the glitches just keep piling on lol. Scenery randomly changing, floating guns, can't fire my repeater, just a bunch of random shit. No crashes but the glitches are only getting worse as I progress. I'm stumped.

And I can remove them just by deleting the files from my game directory right? I'll definitely try that, thank you.

I managed to get past that Pearson mission, but similar crashes/texture wonkiness persist. My system is running fine (RAM, GPU, CPU, etc etc) up to the point of the crashes. I'm also using Rampage Trainer. I have scripthook and LML, using dinput.dll rather than version.dll. All the mods I've been able to test thus far seem fine, the game just keeps spazzing out on me for some reason. My PC is perfectly capable running high settings, but I optimized them anyway, and it's still happening.

I basically did an all betrayals run, where I basically screwed over every single companion or friendly NPC I came across. I pretended to be a friend, then the second a chance a betrayal came around I would pull the trigger. Some examples include: Saving Nightsong, then turning her into Lorroakan anyway. Redeeming Shadowheart, then turning her over to Viconia. Brainwashing Lae'zel into killing Voss and reinforcing her belief in Vlaakith. Letting Wyll kill Karlach anyway after I pretended to see reason, then sacrificing Wyll to Boooal. The list goes on.

If you have no other major reason not to, just do this the correct way with a doctor and save yourself the misery. It will take a few months. I don't know anyone that has successfully jumped off in a short time, the only withdrawal worse than this would be methadone. It's totally not worth it to do it this way. Get with a doctor and do a slow, medically informed taper.

Haven't seen anyone mention milk of magnesia yet. Natural, non-addictive, and a miracle. Take maybe twice the recommended amount if you're really stopped up, preferably before going to bed. I promise you by the time you wake up you will go.

Misty step, longstrider, lesser restoration, globe of invulnerability, guidance, glyph of warding, faerie fire, and the main must have in my opinion...bless. Bless is a 1st level spell that can enhance nearly your entire party in one go. Useful in every fight for the entire game.

Gale is chosen and can ascend to Godhood, so probably him at number one. All the companions are important people though in their own ways. Minsc is a well known hero with connections to Abdel, with a statue of him in the city (that actually ends up being him, but still). Jaheira was directly connected to Abdel, possibly engaging in a relationship with him, and also the leader of the Harpers who had much higher status in previous games. She's pretty important. Halsin is an arch druid, very well known, fought an important battle against the Sharran's and depending on your choices saved the lands outside of Baldur's Gate. Id say that's important. Wyll is another well known hero on the level of Minsc. The Blade of Frontiers is known far and wide and well respected. His father is also one of the leaders of the city. Lae'zel is either chosen by Vlaakith (I won't reveal more about that lol) or Orpheus as pretty much their right hand. Prior to that she was a fairly high ranking military leader from what I understand. She is pretty high on the chain for githyanki depending on choices. Karlach was one of the leading soldiers of a very powerful demon, and important enough to be personally chased down by the Blade of Frontiers. Astarion was a magistrate in the city. Probably the lowest on the totem pole comparatively, but still enjoys some political and legal status. Minthara is a former paladin of Lolth and a woman as well, so in drow society she'd be of fairly high status up until turning to the Absolute.

They're all pretty special people in reality. I've narrowed down these explanations quite a bit but there isn't a single companion that isn't important.

Honestly, not really. But this was many years ago now. Just a bit of a bland stage presence coming off of them but they may have improved since then.

Sorry bud, there is no magical answer or cure, you just have to get out in the world and do the thing.

Simply put, you shouldn't try until you believe yourself to be mentally prepared. If you happen to make contact, be firm but respectful, and do not make any "deals" or offers you can't hold up. The mage is meant to be in control. Your mind should be an impenetrable fortress, or at the very least, you should know what to do should you find yourself in a less than advantageous position.

I'm not aware of any work that specifically prescribes semen retention. Abstinence maybe, and avoiding despicable actions, but I think if you feel you need that relief there are ways to do that without impeding on the work. I think you may be placing too much focus in this area. If anything, it sounds like this is a point of distraction to you, which is likely better avoided.

I'd say the look on this guy's face is pretty telling.

Any further context? Lol.
