Decided to give the gothic like Of Ash and Steel a go. vaguely stilted dialogue, somewhat odd voice acting, and got killed by an oversized rat immediately after leaving the tutorial area. 10/10 for being a gothic like experience so far.

If anyone still does not own Total War games, the first 4 have been released on GOG.

Tons of news clips re: this but I found this one the funniest. "Now the bear with the big butt has a friend." LOL At first I thought it was one of the tiny rectangular vent holes, but guess it's the main (human/worker) access "window/hole" which are larger - which based on the ones I've seen/owned, I *can* see a black bear fitting into, but the video is hilarious.

Apparently the problem isn't just the translation, some of the lore supposedly is obtuse to the Chinese players as well per this Reddit post of a Chinese player. The English voice acting has mostly been fine, at least with a female MC, I don't dare try Chinese since some of the text assumes Chinese, and things do get cut off occasionally, especially when it comes to on-screen tips. Though there's some weird issues sometimes like where the subtitle runs behind one step with the spoken dialogue, or the lines are assigned to the wrong person, which is hopefully less of an issue in Chinese. I've yesterday finished the final boss we have access to for now, which seems to wrap up the Kaifeng storyline and I did have some trouble, though I managed it in one try in the end. I guess one tip for combat is to use the Healing Fan as an offhand, as well as to look into the weapon combinations in general, I found this video helpful to explain how I picked wrong initially

I haven't had a significant bug yet in, uh, 90 minutes of play. It wouldn't be a gothic like if it didn't feel just the slightest, smallest smidge janky and have a plethora of minor bugs; they're part of the charm. Along with getting brutally murdered by the first bit of fauna you meet.

This could have just as easily be filed under Funny Stuff... Mike Lindell files paperwork to run for Minnesota governor I guess we'll see how well his weirdness fares against that 'seriously retarded' Tim Walz.

Only if it turns out his bank account is already empty.

Had to be careful to avoid spoilers, had some really nice screenshots from cutscenes, but alas, major spoilers in them. Starting the game off slowly... The environments are gorgeous Still does not do the location justice GOTY Cats, cats everywhere! The game sure has got the vibe down I'm sure she's angry for a reason Think I wandered into a Tomb Raider game Eeeeep Yeah...so I do happen to be colourblind Looks like I'm slightly more powerful than a single goose, go me!
