You could consider "Dread Empire" to be the Dominator series. That ancient entity under the tree is more interesting than the Dominator at any rate.- The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
I am finding them more interesting than Murgen and Sleepy tbh. There is a meta part in the book where Croaker criticizes Murgen for the way he is writing the annals, being too focused on himself and unimportant details. I was like, "yeah that is exactly what I don't like about these books". I don't know if Cook was trying to be funny and poke fun at the readers who complained or what.. For me personally, I never got attached to most of the characters that died. He never managed to flesh them out enough for me to be fully invested in them. I decided to skip the Port of Shadows. Definitely, even though he does it on purpose it doesn't make it any better. But the story is interesting so far.LauGaming26 joined the communityElivenya joined the communityalan04042012 joined the community- Yesterday

The first 3 were the best for me. I am still unhappy with the characters dying, sure it ties into the "Soldiers Live.." thing but eh, struck me as him just tying up loose ends to wrap things up. Port of Shadows was fun for the utter dishonesty and confusion it tries to sow. A novel set back in the Dominator's time would be fun though. And yes Shukrat and Arkania are painful to readcunningham1985 joined the communityjade110112015 joined the community- The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
Maybe I need to reread the entire series, but I hated the two Murgen books. I never was interested in Port of Shadows, and now Cook made those two magical babes the protagonists? Lol.dan2277au joined the communitydmasciangelo2az joined the communityVgf49 joined the community- Companion Diversity
What do you expect in this day and age......- Candy Glass ouro Sugar glass
Why not have a type of construction that uses candy as a base to create a kind of sugar glass? We could build walls, roofs, windows, and many other things using this candy-based glass. It would add a translucent building material to the game. It would be fragile, but aesthetically very beautiful.- Cool game, but why the ableism?
- AI slop is coming for us all, even Deadfire fans
Wasn't it Pascal, the Shield Beaver with the unique Beaver racials and the six fingers feat ?- Can we have please a Scorpion Buggy ?
We need a Scorpio buggy; even Smalland has one. Can we get one too, please?- Random video game news... video random news game
For the record: While I didn't love The Outer Worlds (1) either, I thought there were decent things in there as well. Overall, I think it's a rather mid title by Obsidian standards though. And one seemingly scared of its own design goals as well. There is "casualization" -- Pentiment, set up as a narrative experience surely isn't a hardcore gamer's game, and that's perfectly fine! It was never conceived as such. And then there is say the aforementioned looting in TOW1 that doesn't even matter as it's this abundant. In a way, it seems Obsidian came out of their crowdfunding stage under the impression that specialization would not be worth it (after Deadfire, see the quote prior about making real money off two PoEs...). Whereas for Warhorse, Larian, Owlcat et all it was the opposite. That said, whilst there were layoffs, Obsidian never cut down solely to the crew doing Pillars 1 back then. IIRC, they were still a studio in the ~100-150 people range at that point.- Random video game news... video random news game
Meh, I am sure there are many factors. What I have been wondering is the sheer size Obsidian has grown. About 10 years ago they were a minimal crew relying on crowdfunding to make Pillars1. Now, they are what - a 200-300 studio working on multiple projects at once? Both big and small. That's a lot of cultural shift to go through, with a lot of new hires, training to do etc. All things considered Obsidan has done pretty well so far. While I didn't love Avowed, I thought there were things to enjoy in there, I hear good things of Outer Worlds2, Grounded did really well, and Pentiment is at the very least a critical darling. So in all - I don't think they had a bad run so far.- Unable to sleep
EricDupres replied to DissociationStation's topic in Grounded 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)I have the same problem since 5 days. The host can sleep, but slave never can.- Random video game news... video random news game
I have to agree. I'm also the key target audience for Avowed but, because I don't have Gamepass, chose to wait for the game to be on sale rather than buy it at launch for that very high retail price. I still bought it only at 20% off, but would've bought it at launch paying full price had that price been reasonable.- The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
Finished Soldiers Live. I don't know, I think I like the original 3 books more. There is a dip afterwards that does get better with the later books but it never quite comes back to the level of the first 3. Saying that I will continue reading the new books as they come out. I started immediately with Lies Weeping. Another thing I would say is that while Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen is pretty heavily inspired by the Black Company he does a better job with his characters. You are way more invested in the non PoV characters of the Malazan world.- Need Different spiders
- Grounded 2 the Stick Bug
I thought that it would be neat to have stick bugs in grounded 2 , a critter that would take you a minute to realize it's there after mistaking it for a stick . Stick Bug - Harmless : stick bugs like to pretend to be twigs to hide from predators , stick Bugs drops stick bug limbs and stick bug parts which can be used to make a spear or an axe or a scythe .- Grounded 2 the Monarch Butterfly
figured since we have blue butterflies we should have another species of butterfly in the game so I picked one that would be the obvious one you usually would see around in the U.S. Monarch Butterfly - Neutral : Monarch butterflies are usually flying around looking for flowers they can extract nectar from , Monarch butterflies drops Monarch Butterfly Chunk , Monarch Butterfly Scales , Monarch Butterfly Wing , and Shivering Monarch Butterfly Scale .- Grounded 2 the Dragonfly
some one mentioned something about the dragonflies should be in Grounded 2 I wouldn't mind having Dragonflies in the game Dragon Fly - Neutral : dragonflies are usually are near water , dragonfly drops Dragonfly wings which can be used to make something for gliding or something like that .- Grounded 2 the fly
I feel like Flies should be in grounded 2 I know we already have gnats but flies are bigger then gnats Fly - Neutral : flies are usually flying around garbage looking for raw meat to lay there eggs , Flies drop fly meat .- New to OW2, frustrated by two things...desperate for clarity
- Remove or allow removal of unbreakable grass straws.
I can't seem to edit it anymore, but while I was playing I thought of another thing. How about having a setting that combines Dashing and Sprinting. Think of Shadow Warrior Remake (The first one) You tap shift and you dash, hold it down and you dash THEN initiate sprint. And I'm not sure if Buggy Mutations/Progression will address this. But I do hope that upgrading your Omni-Axe ALSO upgrades your Soldier Ant somehow to also be able to cut down Husky Weeds. Feels a bit sad losing most of the utility of my big boy once grass is no longer needed.
