Of all the good games hoarded by EA, I only bought Dragon Age Origins, on GOG.

And despite the low prices, i ain’t touching the Mass Effect series as long as they’re rooted like this.

Just because I’ve got nothing to hide doesn’t mean I’m an exhibitionist.

That Pathfinder Kingmaker was long as hell. Not sure i want to start the sequel until I’m good and ready for another pleasant slog.

Meh. Played beta, played f2p when it started and played again early this year.

Unless you’re subscribed, the story ain’t worth the many artificial locks in gameplay.

Tried it in the past. It’s complex. Lots of stuff to do, but I couldn’t get into it overall. If the demo is still available, I’d recommend going for it first.

It’s been some time, but if I remember right, you can spend a few hours in character creation alone just trying to understand all the different selections. And if I’m not mistaken, the factions hostile to you might change depending on which path is taken.

There were biological mutation, cybernetic enhancements and psychic powers. And I think they restrained each other similar to Arcanum’s magic vs technology. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part.

And the controls are a class of their own. It should be easier if you’ve played other games that use the entire keyboard, but there are a lot of shortcuts to learn.

If you go in casually, you will die to the first hostile mob that sees you. I know I did.

Going eco is all the rage, so probably tree fiddy.

I call hijinx and shenanigans! Look at OPs nickname! This is exactly the type of game they’d be into based solely on that.

But commonly enough, those are also the ones who yell out the loudest " I have the latest hardware, but the game runs like shit! Optimize your games, shitty devs!!!"

Meanwhile, the potato farmers with 15 fps: “Runs fine for us.”

How long have you been off Windows? It’s already at VII. Or VIII, I can’t tell.

I look at sales. steamdb, isthereanydeal etc. And if something stands out, I look for details.

Heroes of Might and Magic - the originals. Mostly 3, but any from 1 to 5 can do it.

6 and upwards, it’s just pure Ubisoft enshitification. Can’t even play them properly anymore due to the online component having shutdown its service.

Not me. Each had its charm.

Ck3 with the plague mechanics does this. The base game has some default settings that absolutely wrecks everything once plagues get going and only having the DLC can change those settings.

Well, if you think about it, they might want to do a Daggerfall with thousands of nondescript villages and dungeons, powered by AI.

If it doesn’t have Blackjack and Hookers, then it’s a shitty clone.

Neat stuff.

That part’s wild to me, when people are like “This villain in your story seems to have said and done bad things? So that means you agree with them, yes?” No! Of course not! It’s the literal villain in the story, man!

But there is no utilitarian point of art. It exists to express ideas and to tell truth. I think maybe a lot of people get upset because from their point of view, they are paying money, and they have this relationship where it’s like “If it’s not giving me what I wanted out of this transaction, then it’s bad.”

A thread of the problem is likely the publisher/developer conflict of interest. When the two can’t come to an agreement, the end result usually fails horribly in both aspects.

Caved in and bought the Kotors. Nostalgia boomed.

Tbh, I did blindly vote for games I recognized or looked good in the screenshots/videos.

Is that voice an “AI” describing the scenes in the trailer? Because it’s awful.

You’re properly insane. I keep this list by memory and those I forget, I get to play again. Much more fun. Embrace the chaos!

In the world as myself or as my character?

If as myself, i’ll try to stay away from the US portion of Earth. They get attacked a lot. If as my character, I guess i’ll just have to make a Captain’s Log noting this strange phenomenon before giving the order to warp towards my next mission for Starfleet.

Life in Star Trek is easier than most, if you’re in the right place.

As myself, not at first unless impossible to avoid. Eventually though, probably yes. As my character, definitely.

I’d also regularly make a clone and store it somewhere safe as backup, because there are a thousand ways to die in space and i doubt to be special enough and avoid them all.

Technically, we already are. I don’t know the conversion rate, but most of the body is being replaced by new cells constantly. So using the transporter would mostly be just changing to a new set of cells. But i’m rather attached to my own, homegrown cells. Feels cozier.
