They’re quite dated now, but Neverwinter Nights 1&2 have a pretty robust multiplayer element.

Best description I could find is from this steam post reply by DrLoboto:

AFAIK, there are three different possibilities to play multiplayer:

  1. You and your friend play through the official campaign and/or and the first expansion Shadows of Undrentide, or a user-made adventure that specifically allows for multiplayer (not all of them do). The second expansion Hordes of the Underdark might be possible to play through in multiplayer, too, but I heard there are some issues. Of the DLC, I think only Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons officially support multiplayer.
  2. You and your friend log onto a so called Persistant World (PW), which is like a mini MMO, an online world created and hosted by users which is usually accessible to everyone, so you might run into and interact with other players. Some of these are more action-oriented with pre-scripted quests, others are strictly roleplay, meaning you are meant to stay in character and not talk about meta stuff while playing. Sometimes administrators may take on the role of NPCs or monsters and entertain you.
  3. You and your friend either join another group or run your own game in which one of the users assumes the role of a dungeon master, taking control of NPCs and monsters and creating an adventure for the other player(s).

The more common options would be 1. and 2. In those case, you will both control your own character and you can form a party and fight together, but theoretically you can also split up whenever you want to (even while remaining in the same party) and explore on your own. In case 1. one of you will open an online game and host it for the other player to join (anyone who owns NWN can do this, you don’t need anything else or any particular knowledge), in case 2. you will both join the server of the according PW team. Note that in case 1. the pre-written adventures will often assume that the NPCs are always talking to the same character as the hero of the story; it’s not perfect but it works if you agree that one of you is the main character doing most of the talking for the main quests, or if you can live with the occasional confusion now and then. ;)

Don’t forget, 13 years on and multiple (re-)releases on various platforms, and there’s still bugs that are only fixed by mods.

I just played through the bulk of it, and it was quite good at first, but it started feeling very samey pretty quick. And now I’m so OP that all the gigs and missions I’m doing now are a dull cake walk. Just wading through dismembered viscera. I can’t even remember the last time I had to pop a heal…

Hollis-Leick and narrative director Craig Sherman pushed back on some of the “do’s and don’ts” they received from Games Workshop about Space Marine vocabulary. They deviated from the suggested phraseology to make Titus and his comrades sound less “strange and antiquated”, less like the Spanish Inquisition, and more like soldiers from real-world present-day militaries. “Space Marines don’t necessarily say things like ‘dismissed’,” Hollis-Leick observed. “There’s a line in the game where Acheran says ‘company dismissed’ and they really wanted me to change that to ‘brothers, attend your duties’, or something. But it’s three words instead of one, and if that model was applied to all of the language in the game, I really strongly felt that people wouldn’t get it.”

Gonna be a whole lotta really peeved 40k ultra fans…

But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.

Just look at Helldiver 1/2, couldn’t be more in your face about it, and yet there’s still people not getting it.

I had an argument shortly after the great migration. Someone had posted a video essay on something gaming related and the person I responded to was adamant that a video couldn’t be an essay. It was a two hour deep dive into the topic, with graphs/journalistic photos/news video snippets, and the video info section had a citation list longer than your arm.
This person couldn’t understand that just because the creator had decided to present their essay in video format, didn’t mean it wasn’t an essay. All they had to say basically boiled down to:
only stupid people watch a video this long when you could read the equivalent amount of information in less than half the time.

Needless to say, that got my hackles up a tad.

Exactly! There’s no reason to be that way, other than to feel superior to someone. And that’s just kinda a shit way to be!

This is a very common term. I encountered it back home in Canada frequently, and just as much here in the UK.

See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…

Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.

The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.

Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️

Fair enough, it’s important to know what your potential speed bumps are.

Glad to hear that things are going good for you. On the whole, life’s pretty good for me too.

Day 62 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (lemmy.world)

I got the Stealth suit today. I meant to grab either a picture of the Stealth Suit or of me wearing the Stealth Suit, but none of the screenshots I took Steam wants to share with the new update. So I had to settle for this picture of her talking to me. I’m all out of Stimpaks and other healing supplies and now she’s been...

But overall it came up short

Know what was actually really, really good?
The tie in podcast. Great production value, great voice actors, and really great story, character development and pacing!
I grab Calisto Protocol off Epic, but only because it’s free. I watched some reviews and gameplay footage, and it’s…kinda meh. From what I saw of gameplay, the story is a bit reductive, and, unless they fixed it the melee combat is a bit of a joke.

Here's what a random person on the internet thought of Medal Of Honor Airborne (lemmy.world)

This game at first presented itself with an earnestness familiar to WW2 media. The game began with a sense of veneration of the real men of the airborne in WW2. There was a constant orchestral score in all the menus and briefing screens to set a mood. There were somber titlecards with quotes from real soldiers of the war. The...

This was a really good read, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any more you do.

One of my favourite movies of all time, not just anime, that film is SSS Tier cinematography and I don’t care if people think you shouldn’t use cinematography in reference to animation.

When I was about 10, my mum was addicted to tetris on the GB. I’d get home from school and literally every battery in the house would be completely dead…
I talked to her about it a few years ago, she told me that for about 5 years after she stopped playing she’d dream about tetris more often than anything else.

I only bought a ps4 well after the 5 dropped, and only because my pal had got a new xbox and wasn’t playing with his ps4 anymore. Long story short I got the ps4, 3 controllers, and 5 hardcopy games for £50 and a joint. Until I can get a ps5 for that…I ain’t upgrading

SturgiesYrFase,

I have a ps1, 2, 3 and 4, a psp, a vita, I also have a NA snes, OG xbox, xbox360 and xbox one. I pretty much don’t play with any of them, I work too much…

Didn’t they say that a PSN account won’t be required for the single player content? Seems kinda like they’re getting ready to shoot themselves in the foot again.

Haven’t had a chance to try it, but if it’s anything like Adventure mode from the freeware version(which I believe is sorta the point), it’ll be frustratingly entertaining.

I beat BotW, and started TotK but couldn’t bring myself to play it for more than 3 or so hours. TotK was mostly just more of the same from BotW, and I found BotW pretty dull.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Moon.
Dementium: The Ward.
Potentially Battlefield 3, though I was finding a lot of conflicting posts/articles. So like 3 FPS games, maybe 4, but again, couldn’t find a CIA/ROM and only saw loads of conflicting info about BF3 on 3ds.

Metroid:FF is the only one with a rating over 3.4, so don’t get your hopes up…
