  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Is a proxy war of sorts, maybe not purpose but they have been useful, at least for the countries that matter. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-russia-war-peace-deal-trump-driscoll-abu-dhabi-talks-latest/ Ukraine agrees to a set.
  4. Dunno about TOW2 yet, but the original game was rather light on this. Like baby's first Fallout-Like. Even if you didn't specialize or cared much, you wouldn't face that many a hurdle. The same would apply to the game in general, like ressources being plenty and all over the place, also completely contradicting the game's lore and fiction of a struggling economy. They've announced they wanted to go a bit deeper with part 2. Which naturally may alienate those introduced fresh with the original. That said, respec remains the single most bizarre "mandatory" feature ever introduced into single-player RPGs. Still waiting for the racing game that lets you change car, gear and tires on the fly. That Life Is Strange-Like that simply lets you reset all your choices, all the way to the start of Episode 1. And of course the first Command&Conquer that lets you switch sides in the final battle -- Brotherhood of NOD has been cooler than boring GDI all along! If a game makes you think it'd NEED respec, it's poorly designed, not because of the missing respec. FOMO doesn't apply though -- the entire point of character choice and specialization is offering a unique path that (in theory) only your character could experience this way. Whilst another player may have a completely different road to the ending credits. The three traditional archetypes targeted have been Combat, Evasion/Stealth and Diplomacy (see OG Fallout, Deus Ex. etc.). Naturally, with more nuances comes more options... Seeing this as a case of "missing out" is completely missing the point. The endgame is offering your specific character build his/her unique adventure. I once build a New Vegas character that was basically all brains, sweet talk and luck. He had to "sneak" his way into Vegas, but in there, he broke the bank.
  5. Plasma Pistol & Plasma SMG are missing sound effects during the full reload animation. Certain combinations of weapon mods also result in missing sound effect during partial reload animations. For example β€” the bassline Plasma Pistol is missing sound effects during full reload animation, but the sound effects are there when the gun is modded with a silencer and frost converter. This video demonstrates the bug (there are timestamps for both weapons) β€” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnHGOYo7s0. For example, compare 2:59 to 3:19. As an aside β€” does anyone know if there's a better way to report bugs? I don't think the devs are reading these threads.
  6. I agree but I also recognize what the Dev is trying to do here. The 2 DLCs will likely increase the level caps to either 40 or 50, so that either 20 or 40 extra points for you to spread. I think the better implementation is party assist like Deadfire has. Certain companion increase certain combat and non-combat skill by 3-5 points to assist you to pass the check.
  7. But as I mentioned what surprised me was the reaction to this first " peace plan " as if it was a done deal And we have been through this before so its not unprecedented. I have stopped quoting Trump on Ukraine because of how many times he has said things and then backtracked, I got tired of being interested in something that didn't materialize (like the long range missiles ) The EU and Ukraine will always need to accept the terms and then it goes back to Russia. After those steps then we can objectively commenting on the terms
  8. Educate me, how did Ukraine serve its purpose and who did they serve? I have followed this type of opinion before and it always has holes in logic and historical consistency and of course generally ignores the reason Ukraine is getting support from the West, Russia invaded a sovereign country that is on border of the EU and this country has direct cultural ties to several East European countries with a history of Soviet occupation. So a Russian invasion of Chechnya would not get the same interest or support for understandable reasons But go into details?
  9. I came here seeking answers for the same situation, but I guess I'm just coming away with misery loving company. The only file i have now is barely past the intro, after I just got well into act 2, now I have to go through all that again like it wasn't something I already did... it's never the same on a replay as it was the first time.
  10. I had to load a save about 6 hours earlier in Greedfall to get to an unbugged state. Ignored a couple of quests for now that others mentioned online bugging out or conflicting with the stage of the main quest I was on. Now I'll need to see if I can continue those or if it'll bug out again.
  11. Yesterday
  12. Bug #1: During Inez's quest "Half-Truths in Advertising," the reporter and commander of the Auntie's Choice camp are non-existent. Just a camera and a director's chair. Bug #2: During the main quest "Sins of the Past on the Precipice of the Future," just after talking to de Vries and Helen, as you approach the stairs to the first Order/Auntie resupply, both factions become hostile. Everyone goes hostile as soon as I pass the Order guard at the bottom of the staircase. Even when sneaking.
  13. No, only the original game with the latest update that included dual-wielding and strongholds (as far as I know, they were not there at the start). I might try the expansion later, as I have it on GOG.
  14. Old thread -
  15. That is obviously doomposting. The situation isn't that bad, though it is bad. Ukraine clearly isn't going to accept just any old deal just from the events of the last few days even if they've shifted significantly in terms of what they will accept over the last few months. Europe also clearly doesn't really care that much about the current corruption scandal given who they just welcomed with open arms- Yermak, probably the second most important guy who has been implicated; and the chief negotiator with Rubio and the Euros. Which, one suspects, was Zelensky calling their bluff as much as anything, making sure there's lots of footage of Euro politicos shaking hands with him in case of more pressure to sack him. The collapses are strictly localised, at the moment. The problem is that while Ukraine can still stop the really critical ones they just shift elsewhere, which then eventually become critical themselves, and the timeframe for the collapses is accelerating. They are at real risk of losing three very important towns inside a month which hasn't happened since the start of the war; one of which people would have thought you mad suggesting it was in play a month ago (Huliapole; for all that people make fun of Russia not learning you'd think Ukraine would have some defences facing north for a major defensive city after 40 months...). The desertions are a big problem though, that isn't overstated. Getting actual figures is difficult, since there are at least three classifications for desertion adjacent absence from service (~awol, 'missing*', and criminal desertion) and the whole thing is highly politicised. Best estimate seems to be at least a 5 figure number deserting every month and something like a quarter of a million total. The interesting recruitment method videos are also so ubiquitous now that only the most die hard of Ukraine supporters think they're just Russian propaganda. *though more usually that's dead rather than deserted, and used to avoid paying widow pensions/ compensation it's also for those who desert under combat conditions or surrender without a fight and don't want to register with the RC for fear they'll be traded back.
  16. I do wonder. In the beginning I would 100% agree, they showed the total disarray of Russian troops and how unprepared they were for a land war. Now at this point, they have veteran troops and have probably patched any holes they had in their logistics. Now the best they can hope is that Russia really is in war economy and that they cannot recover from it. But then again, I am not too sure how much of good outcome that is, because if they can't recover they probably will start another war.
  17. I haven't seen any comments here on these two new sci-fi RPGs, The Expanse and Exodus, so I figured I'd post. I've never played a sci-fi RPG, but am intrigued by these games. Looking forward to comments from those of you who are big into sci-fi RPGs:
  18. Well not sure the front is collapsing, but Ukraine's on the backfoot now and has been for some time. They have troop shortages and that's making things worse as people on the front are going to break. Russia's not stellar by comparison, but this a rate fight, so to speak. Quite true.
  19. All for none seems bugged. Go out with a bang is for sure bugged. I have unlocked: Ad Hominem Homicide
  20. Well, all of this seems moot now, because apparently yesterday in Geneva very good progress was made on amending the document on all points, such that everyone--the US, the Europeans, and most importantly the Ukrainians--are now satisfied and on the same page. It seems that the Ukrainians are willing to accept the painful territorial concessions, just as I expected and predicted, in exchange for very strong security guarantees, protection of their sovereignty, and a good reconstruction plan. But that is all the more reason to expect that Putin will very likely reject it. It will at least serve to put more pressure on the Russians, though, and hopefully also will re-isolate them internationally if we can get other major states around the world to accept the modified plan as a good plan that is reasonable and fair to both sides.
  21. From where do you get that information?
  22. in my experience this would completely be the reason why. I've had almost no problem (on the hanging side of things) since I started doing the above. Else I very much keep on experiencing a lot of the problems described by OP
