Thank you, sir. I'm ok. They mostly hit military targets but yeah, it was scary. It's over now. Let's hope it stays this way.

Im 180 hours into WoRT and Im busy with all the final quests and choices before I complete the last quest at Threshold As I have mentioned in previous posts this game is one of my favourite party based RPG of all time Its impossible to list everything I love about this game but in summary deep and complex main narrative with a myriad of different choices around what Mystic Path to take and how that influences dialogue options engaging and worthwhile companion side-quests, the best in any RPG I have ever played. I ended up finally Romancing Arueshalae and accepting Camellias murderous nature ....no ones perfect very complex character and class customization combat is the best part of the game with all different strategies I love the Crusader management and mini-battles. Its a nice break from the normal RPG progression lots to explore and many side-quests the length of the game, I appreciate how long it is What an RPG, I wish we had a commitment for Pathfinder 3 from Owlcat

Still Arcanum... The dungeons here are really bad, they make even Owlcat's look almost lovingly handcrafted pieces of tunnel crawling art. But yeah, one does not simply play Arcanum for the combats. It's for the setting, the concepts (both in systems and world design) and that unique soundtrack, though it gets a bit repetitive due to its lack in tracks.

James Bond to be directed by Denis Villeneuve I'm sure this will be a must see for @Bartimaeus

Speaking for myself .... because outside of game forums, I am extremely asocial?

That should be fairly easy to understand. He posts policy, updates, and actionable items there along with his usual slop so people have to pay attention.

I completed WoTR after 210 hours Its gets 89/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system " only BG2 ToB has ever received a higher score I mentioned several times what is fantastic about WoTR so I wont repeat that I had an interesting ending, I always wanted to close the Worldwound but not at the expense of sacrificing my own life and all my achievements and what I can still do So when I defeated Areelu I decided to NOT kill myself and Im fine with that We will continue to oppose Demons and the forces of Deskari and Baphomet who come through the Worldwound. I was sorry to have disappointed Nocticula but I am not going to sacrifice myself for her either I have decided to play the DLC that occur at the end of the main narrative, I still have a Pathfinder "fix" before I move onto another game The only real criticism of WoRT is it could have been longer, maybe 60-80 hours?

Hegseth's ranting about the Iran bombing is something else. Also, calling it the most complex operation in history is peak Trump administration.

War? What war? It’s a US “special military operation”

Funcom just announced that they are increasing the PvE sections of the deep desert, making the past tier of the game more friendly to solo and non pvp players.

Also - pretty much what I hear in my head every time I try to watch/read any news lately. Just saying.

https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/804 This should fix the bug described here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/227477-pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire/faqs/76599/bugs-and-oddities As I've understood it, this has been a pain point ever since patch 5.0 for many Credit to @ShadyDax for nudging me to check this bug out Note that this does not fix potions added by mods (I'm gonna have to patch Potion of Enlightenment later ) Going to sleep now

Completed the Brynlod bounty and the Adra Dragon. The Adra Dragon took many attempts. Finally managed it by swapping my monk tank for Eder who just had more tankyness and innate fear resist so he was better able to face tank the dragon for longer (he still dropped but by that time I'd killed all the other enemies and my Main-Character Paladin off-tank and a repeated weapon summons from my chanter were able to tank the dragon whilst everyone else pelted it from range. It was still one heck of a difficult fight (for me), but I'm so glad I finally got it down. Just got a few loose ends to wrap up and then I'm off to the burial ground to finish this, my first Pillars-1 POTD run

Seriously, Obsidian? Is this some kind of joke? You're releasing the second part of a game that had full Polish language support — a game my brother and I played for over a thousand hours — and now you're just dropping the Polish localization altogether? That is a blatant slap in the face to a community that supported you from day one. We bought the game, the expansions, we recommended it to others — and now we’re treated like second-class players? This isn't about entitlement — it's about basic respect and consistency. If you could provide full Polish localization in the first game, then cutting it in the sequel is just lazy cost-cutting at the expense of your loyal fans. Spare us the weak excuses about "priorities" or "resources" — we’re not buying it. Honestly, this is incredibly disappointing. The game looks great, but it’s getting harder and harder to support a studio that’s so willing to turn its back on its player base.

I've definitely learned the importance of spare sets of equipment in this game. I used to just recycle everything, now I've got a couple sets of extra gear.

Satisfactory co-op with a 12-year-old: I'd love to say there's a hidden system in this chaos, but there isn't.

Well, I'd gotten to the Vermillius Gap, I was wearing a whole ton of unique schematic gear, decide to follow the next path that leads north.. The my sandbuggy jumped a dune, landed me in quicksand which I hadn't realised was a thing there, and as I'm trying to get the bike out a Sandworm eat me. Everything gone. Then spent a couple of hours doing the grind to re-equip myself and build a new Sandbike, decide to head in a slightly different direction, carefully avoid some drumsand.. and then 3 sandworms pretty much dogpile me. Found myself being chased by one, then a second emerged in the ground ahead of me, and as I start to turn to run for another area.. the third freaking sandworm crests a dune and landed on me. One more unto the re-equip grind. Solo play is definitely a touch longer...

Started rewatching Bleach, breddy gud Shonen stuff. Will skip the filler. Somehow I also missed the last one

I run across enough bleak landscapes in Starfield.

As someone who has watched a handful of James Bond films spread a number of decades and came away disliking or hating them all, I'm personally very happy to see this pairing - so long as nobody tries to convince me to watch the resulting garbage. Confining Dennis' talents to James Bond seems a small mercy on the part of the universe, honestly.

I picked up Dune Awakening to to a little bit of dabbling with when I get some gaming time. I spent a fair amount of hours with Conan after all and thought the PvE might be an enjoyable time sink. Didn't really think about whether PvP was a demand of the game or not. I shall continue puttering around and exploring it as is, and see where it takes me and what point I get to be blah over it...

Started a new game with the new new DLC and just got to the Rykad system.

Well a swift kick in the nether regions for implying the need for violence.

I bet every female staffer is required to call Drümp "daddy"

Repeated application of blunt force trauma to the head for liking Picard.

I'd rather they just let PvE people be able to turn PvP off entirely, like WoW did, or NMS does etc. Thus they could run around and people couldn't target them re: PvP but everyone could still mingle or observe that massive guild fight over yonder if they feel like it. Or perhaps ... where one has to be in a Guild or something of that nature, to be able to participate in PvP, and only other guilds are targetable. Thus people with no affiliation of any kind would be left alone. The dev's original objective however seems to be for trying/hoping more/most people would band together in guild/groups as the endgame. Which is fine. I'm simply not interested. EDIT: to be fair, if one goes in knowing all of this, 50-100hrs for the PvE focused beginning is a decent thing, even if one stops/considers that as "finished the game.", just like with any actual SP game.

To quote Mad Magazine, "What, me worry?" His mental health issues drive him to get attention, which he gains through persistent outrageous behavior. At this point I think it's a mistake to expect more logical, less foolish thinking; that just isn't in his mental state.

Seems overall favorable so far. Mostly the same, but with nice improvements. I watched some of jacksepticeyejack 1st video of it - skipping over all starting story/cutscenes, just wanted to see Sam gameplay mechanics - and looks great to me. *grits teeth* I will NOT buy a PS5. I will NOT buy a PS5. .... 6+ months. Sigh.

Glad he didn't hit the N key by accident. Considering who else is in commentary around Iran, they have decent credibility.

LOL

https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...-meet-sunday-over-us-strikes-iran-2025-06-22/ Russia, China and Pakistan are bringing a UNSC resolution forward for an immediate end to the Israeli and US military campaign on Iran This will be as successful as the numerous UNSC resolutions raised for Russia to end its war in Ukraine And it always cringe to hear Russia grandstanding about how " terrible invasions and wars are " Russia just needs to stay out of any commentary around Iran, they have ZERO credibility on this " concern "

You can turn the "bugs ignore player" option on in the custom game settings iirc

While I can't believe I'm saying it that article is actually a bit unfair in two ways to Trump. Once Israel attacked circumstances did change, and you don't really need intelligence- in either sense- to know it. The Iranian weapons programme restarted nine days ago, and that isn't a 'vibe'; it's obviously the only way they are going to be able to deter attacks when conventional means have failed. It's the circumstances leading to that decision which are the important bit. It's also pretty obvious that the Israeli calculus from the start would have been that them starting it would have to result in the US finishing it for those reasons, and that they would be incapable of actually finishing it, and that there could be no negotiations once bombing had started. Resulting in an open ended war against their main rival by their biggest sponsor, entirely to their benefit. And we got here, ultimately, due to the collective policy of appeasing Israel at every step. That's not just Trump's fault, every single western and world leader who ran interference for Israel's ongoing genocide were effectively giving Israel the green light to do whatever they want. If you're okay with genocide- and they've amply demonstrated that they are- would anyone believe that you'd draw the line at bombing Iran? No, you would label it as 'defensive' aggression, precisely as happened.

Military conflict tends to unify the country (USA), but I'm not sure that's possible under this President. I suppose it depends on how Iran retaliates.

Hi Everyone! I am new to this game, and so far I love it! its both insane and cosy at the same time :-) What I would love to see in the game would be, big humans coming in the backyard sometimes. Like maybe the owner of the house or something? Lets say the owner of the house comes out in the backyard and we have to be carefull for not getting stepped on by big feets etc. This indeed would maybe make the game feel more "Alive" ?

as childish as it may appear, am wondering how much the mockery trump endured for his reflexive "two weeks" announcement led to him moving quickly to end diplomatic efforts and instead resort to an overt display of military force. first, netanyahu maneuvers trump into helping him with attacks on iran that israel couldn't manage itself; donald didn't wanna look weak by admitting that israel had not only successful attacked numerous iranian sites, but that israel purposeful kept the US in the dark about the attacks. and trump, like a child, were jealous of the positive attention israel was getting on fox? then we get the "two week" jokes, which reveal just how often trump goes limp after making a bold pronouncement. trump didn't like that very much. am suspecting what the US needs most is a competent kindergarten teacher, somebody with experience keeping little kids in line, to handle trump. HA! Good Fun!

I think if we end up with a single source that supplies only what you want to watch, then we'll then have to worry about monopolistic tendencies from the supplier. I.e. sure we can watch anything, but at a higher cost. Also, with a monopoly, there's less incentive to release quality programming. I don't think there will be a net benefit for the consumer.

Been away from home since Monday but will give the Brynlod bounty and the Adra Dragon another go tomorrow. It felt like I nearly managed to win the fight but at the end there was still an illusionist and I think some illusionist doubles. I can't quite remember now.

I have the same issue. Spent collectively about 12 hours trying to troubleshoot it. I've always been able to eventually get a Dualsense controller to work (sometimes using DualsenseX or DS4Windows of course), but Avowed is the one game that beat me. I finally had to get an 8bitdo controller that just registers as an Xbox controller and that solved the issue. But yeah, specifically my problem was that all buttons worked fine unless I was in any sort of menu. In the pause menus, LB, RB, B, and X didn't work. The buttons were registered, because if I shook my mouse to switch the UI to PC controls, then pressed RB, it would switch back to Xbox controls, but the button press wouldn't move the menu. This happened across both Gamepass and Steam versions. Also, for me it has nothing to do with drift as that Reddit thread seems to suggest. I tried completely disabling the sticks in software and it did not help.

Even if not day 1. Would be amazing even if minor, a breeding system for mount friends. Will give the game a lot more risk to loose a trusted tame. to try and breed stronger friends (even if not stats, breed for better abilities like speed, better worker, or can carry more product). That path might be easier as you already had abilities in grounded 1.

Nice, I played Arcanum for the first time a few months ago Its the last CRPG from that era I hadnt played and I had a great time The combat mechanics weren't great but the overall narrative, side quests, class and skill choices and different ways of solving quests were brilliant. And the whole map exploration I really enjoyed Overall I had a very positive experience

I just hope @Katphood is okay

I noticed that both the itunes version of the soundtrack and the premium version of the soundtrack is missing the music from Fior mes Ivèrno settlement. Why is it not made available?

As there is still no word on this from @Obsidian, I'll repeat here what I've said in other similar threads about this game: will TOW2 have a third-person option like Avowed? Because not having it is a deal-breaker for me.

This sound more fair! but having big people walking around you is a really cool idea! But without them destroying our base ofc. But I really wish they add them into the game sometime in the future! Makes the feeling of being "Small like an ant" even more REAL!
