In retrospect, the biggest difficulty in original Starcraft comes from the horrendous pathfinding. Where you click and where the unit goes sometimes, randomly coincide.

Happy Birthday Guard Dog and Shady

Neither of these trophies appear to be working for me on the latest update of the PS5 version. Go Out With a Bang doesn't appear to be willing to pop no matter how many multi-kills I get with the weapon. All for None has 1 instance on the PS5 trophy tracker but I have no idea what triggered that. I've tried on multiple character files various methods of driving companions away, ranging from violating their core beliefs; trading them to executioners for safe passage; blowing up their loved ones; shooting them; and asking very nicely. None of these have worked and I'm starting to feel very bad about my managerial conduct during testing.

So far so great! Simple gameplay mechanics, but enough of them to make it interesting.

I just fixed this by talking to Gertie Hewett. There is nothing telling you to talk with her. Infuriating.

Yayy, I hope you will like it too.

Happy Birthday guys!

No i loved KCD right from the start... I also got it when it was super buggy and new. Even then I loved it. I think its just a phase. It'll take something to click for me to get out of it. KcD2 is very good though. It's better in pretty much every way. Other than, I would say the story pacing is a little weird for me. Also it is missing the whole "from a peasant to hero" aspect... you are fairly competent to start.

Oh, that's a shame. I bought the whole package. It's next in line after Outer Worlds2. Did you feel the same about the KCD1? Finished Alters. I really liked it, though I felt the game started to run a bit out of steam at the end. They tried to shake things up in unexpected ways, and while it did have some narrative impact, it did greatly undermine gameplay making the final zone a bit dull. Not a brilliant game quite original, and quite enjoyable. It's a kind of a game where individual elements aren't that spectacular, but as a whole it's quite neat. Recommended at a right price point.

Well, it can be a valid criticism if a sequel fails to bring much new to the table, but I think both D:OS2 and OW2 are a major step forward from first installments and not just more of the same. In case of OW2 I would chuck those comments as "it is not New Vegas". And it is not. It is still very streamlined RPG with very silly premise. OW2 is very much a sequel to OW1. And I think it is pretty good, even if some aspects of it still don't grab me.

There will be a vote, but it won't pass.

yep, same, if i turn in the mech parts quest, he just says some repeating dialogue, no multiple choice conversation like before. I'd like to turn in the quest, and then also do the brainbender quest, but it seems bugged. Very annoying for completionists. I would prefer to not have to load up my last save from before i started the brainbender quest, like 10+ hours ago.

I'm beginning to understand why you liked Rings of Power so much.

Aloth is the first companion you can recruit in the game. Well, Aloth can actually be considered as two companions. Iselmyr counts too. Difficulty: PotD -------------------------------------------------------------- Class: Wizard -------------------------------------------------------------- Game Version: 3.0+ -------------------------------------------------------------- Race: Wood Elf -------------------------------------------------------------- Background: Aedyr - Gentry -------------------------------------------------------------- Skills: Lore 12 (Base 8, +2 Wizard, +2 Gentry), Survival 6 or 12, Athletics the rest --- Aloth can be found in Gilded Vale near Black Hound Inn. You start leveling Aloth from level 2 onwards. Every wizard gets Arcane Assault at level 1. Level 1: Arkemyr's Dazzling Lights, Fan of Flames, Minoletta's Minor Missiles, Wizard's Double Level 2: Chill Fog, Blast Level 3: Combusting Wounds, Curse of Blackened Sight Level 4: Merciless Gaze, Penetrating Blast Level 5: Deleterious Alacrity of Motion, Minoletta's Bounding Missiles Level 6: Expose Vulnerabilities, Weapon Focus: Noble Level 7: Minoletta's Concussive Missiles, Confusion Level 8: Dimensional Shift, Marksman Level 9: Malignant Cloud, Llengrath's Safeguard, Mastery - Eldritch Aim Level 10: Blast of Frost, Penetrating Shot Level 11: Gaze of the Adragan, Ninagauth's Freezing Pillar, Mastery - Curse of Blackened Sight OR Combusting Wounds Level 12: Minoletta's Precisely Piercing Burst, Secrets of Rime Level 13: Tayn's Chaotic Orb, Delayed Fireball, Mastery - Deleterious Alacrity of Motion Level 14: Ninagauth's Killing Bolt, Interrupting Blows OR Apprentice's Sneak Attack Level 15: Kalakoth's Freezing Rake, Wilting Wind, Mastery - Ninagauth's Shadowflame Level 16: Caedebald's Blackbow, Interrupting Blows OR Apprentice's Sneak Attack --- I use Aloth's grimoire the whole game and eventually learn all the spells I want from other grimoires. My spell selection for Aloth is: 1st level spells - Eldritch Aim, Chill Fog, Spirit Shield, Minoletta's Minor Missiles or Slicken 2nd level spells - Combusting Wounds, Curse of Blackened Sight, Merciless Gaze, Infuse With Vital Essence 3rd level spells - Deleterious Alacrity of Motion, Minoletta's Bounding Missiles, Expose Vulnerabilities, Arcane Dampener or Arduous Delay of Motion 4th level spells - Minoletta's Concussive Missiles, Ninagauth's Shadowflame, Confusion, Dimensional Shift 5th level spells - Blast of Frost, Malignant Cloud, Ninagauth's Bitter Mooring, Llengrath's Safeguard 6th level spells - Gaze of the Adragan, Ninagauth's Freezing Pillar, Minoletta's Precisely Piercing Burst, Arcane Reflection 7th level spells - Tayn's Chaotic Orb, Delayed Fireball, Ninagauth's Killing Bolt, Concelhaut's Crushing Doom 8th level spells - Kalakoth's Freezing Rake, Wilting Wind, Caedebald's Blackbow, Wall of Many Colors or Minoletta's Piercing Sigil Mastery - Eldritch Aim, Curse of Blackened Sight OR Combusting Wounds, Deleterious Alacrity of Motion, Ninagauth's Shadowflame My last playthrough I chose Secrets of Rime talent. My spell selection reflects that. You can choose very differently, both talents and spells, and still have a lot of fun. Wizards are very powerful and versatile. You will need Ninagauth's Black Pages grimoire and The Ironclasped grimoire for some of the unique spells in my selection. --- Weapon Set 1: Engwithan Scepter, later Gyrd Háewanes Sténes or Puitènte med Príncipi Weapon Set 2: Melee weapon from Weapon Focus: Noble I like how Scepters look, so I use Scepters. But Wands and Rods are perfectly viable. Gyrd Háewanes Sténes has a chance to Dominate your target on Hits or Crits. It annoys me to no end. I use Engwithan Scepter and wait all the way for Puitènte med Príncipi. Head: +Int or +Per Armor: Aloth's Leather Armor Neck: +Int or +Per Hands: Gauntlets of Accuracy Boots: Glanfathan Stalking Boots Belt: +Dex or +Mig Rings: Ring of Protection, Ring of the Selonan None of these items are essential. You are looking for Intellect, Perception. Some Might and Dexterity, if you have items to spare. --- Arcan Assault is a pretty good per encounter ability in the early and mid game. Lore 12 gives Aloth the opportunity to cast all the scrolls in Eora. For Aloth I usually choose from these: scroll of Revival, scroll of Confusion, scroll of Defense, scroll of Protection, scroll of Valor, scroll of Paralysis, scroll of Moonwell. With masteries, starting from level 9, Aloth should cast Deleterious Alacrity of Motion and Eldritch Aim at the start of every fight. Confusion, Gaze of the Adragan and Ninagauth's Shadowflame are very strong spells. If things get out of hand, these spells can save you. I think Dimensional Shift is underrated.

Went back to KCD2 now that all the DLC is released. Haven't actually got to any of them yet. However, this is why I think im a full on hater now. This game is great, really checks most of the boxes for RPG games for me. Even then, I'm still not having that much fun with it. Its a problem when my GOTY isn't even fully engaging to me.
