I agree. I actually enjoy being over leveled for the main quest. It's the reward for diligence

Tried for the fifth time to give BG3 a chance. I need to stop giving it a chance. There is nothing I like about it. Closest thing would be the combat. I don't mind the combat but I absolutely hate the 3D enviroments for CRPGs. Constantly feel disoriented. Also everything tends to look the same from what I've seen. Some abandoned temple looks the same as a goblin fort. Which also looks exactly like every dungeon i saw in divinity Story wise there is just way too much going on. Squid people, demon people, every companion is a vampire, or a demon or some person who has a demon in their head or sold their soul to a demon. Dice rolls for dialogue is painful. It feels like they want you to save scum. Can you not? Sure but you will just die in that combat and end up redoing the dice roll anyway. I might be just dumb or not giving it as much attention as it needs, but I never know what the hell is going on. I'm going to save some druid leader but then he's working for the goblins and also some demon has a deal for me, but not yet he will be around later. And I guess I'm supposed to help squid people but also they are the enemies. I just... don't care. It's way too much stuff that is thrown at you with little context. Anyway I hate this game and hopefully I never try to play it again.

I think he worked as a contractor instead of as an employee. So... he's gone back full time i guess would be the difference. Maybe he gets benefits now. That would be nice

When i was very young clippy tried to correct something i spelt incorrectly to the "N" word. I didn't know what it meant but I knew it was bad and told my dad. Clippy is a racist

Finished all the KCD2 DLC. Warhorse definitely has a pattern with DLC (not great). Shield painting DLC. By far the worst, just quest pack essentially. The reward is being able to get your shield painted... I dont use shields so really doesn't matter. The KCD equivalent would be the "band of bastards" which was also a quest pack... although I found that one more interesting than this. Blacksmith DLC. Something to spend your money on. Tedious blacksmithing quests... upgrading blacksmith forge so you can upgrade it more. I enjoyed the blacksmithing so I like this one. KCD equivalent would be the rebuilding a town DLC. I like the blacksmithing so I prefer KCD2 DLC, but if you don't... the town was less hands on. Monestary DLC. It was fine. It's a whole new area to discover... lots of sneaking to find something, sneak back report, sneak to find new thing. The twist was fairly obvious from the start... was definitely not surprised. Basically there is a plague and you gotta find out where the plague started... except the monestary is locked down so you have to sneak. Felt a little dumb that you're working for the doctor but not allowed to investigate... the whole sneaking part seemed thrown in there so it's more difficult... otherwise it would be talk to this guy grab this thing talk to this guy rinse repeat. Also the DLC bugged so I had to sneak out of the monestary even though I saved everyone and got the best ending. If I get caught, failed DLC, if I didn't... im a hero! KCD equivalent would be "a woman's lot" which was much better in my opinion. You got to play as a new character (a woman) and it added context to the overall story. Just like the first game. The DLC was pretty hit and miss. So maybe there is a pattern for warhorse of good game, meh DLC. Now I am super overpowered for the main quest

Finished KCD2 forge DLC... still need to raise my blacksmith prestige before I can buy a pet raven... and I definitely want that dang raven, so it looks like I'll be grinding out tedious blacksmith quests for a while yet

Back to KCD2 for the DLC. I am doing the blacksmith DLC. Its fun even though it is pretty simple. I am at the most tedious stage of "gain blacksmith prestige" so i forge a thing every day, deliver it. Rinse repeat. I am glad my first playthrough i skipped many side quests. This time around i am going to be so overpowered by the time I do the main quests. It is a good game. The only thing I don't like is that there are only a few times where side questing feels somewhat natural. It's a weird pacing because if you start doing main quests you very quickly get to the point where everything feels urgent. With there being timed quests you never really know when you need to progress quickly. I would love for warhorse to make something new. A spy game, a post apocalyptic game, or something modern. They like making detective style missions so I could see them making a detective game of some sort.

When i replayed the original starcraft, I was surprised how many missions were just "destroy all enemy bases". Then trying to search everywhere for the final pylon. I tried to beat warcraft 2 campaign and I literally can't. There was an island level where most of the combat is ship related. Can't count how many tries I took to win, couldn't do it

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.

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.

I did walk around a little before heading to town. I think a big part of it is narrative baggage from being part of the earth directorate. Like I can be a criminal who doesn't like the earth directorate and takes nothing serious. yet they decided to make me captain? Just in my mind you have to be a leader of some sort for the story to make sense. If you had been just a regular soldier it would feel a lot more natural. Starting off important takes something away from these types of games imo

I think i have become a full hater. I just cannot get into outer worlds 2. I think its a me problem because I enjoyed the first one. If I had to justify it. I do not like when games throw you right into the world with no buildup. New Vegas you start in a small unimportant town. You wake up and talk to people in the town and you hear about the factions and political climate. Pillars your caravan gets attacked and you make your way to a small town. You get eased into the world. In outer worlds two you are an agent and you go on a mission. Thing happens. You are thrust into the world and factions with no time to ease into the world. Even the first outer worlds eased you into the world. You dealt with a minor dispute before seeing the wider picture. I probably will start to enjoy it eventually but it feels like too much too fast. I have a hard time caring about anything going on because it's thrown at you so quickly. Combat is good. Graphics are good.

Oh okay you mean it literally performs badly and lags? I'm kinda fine with that, I thought you meant it's a bad performance as far as content goes.

Worst performance how? I've been looking forward to this one but haven't followed development at all.

Played some of the outer worlds. Finished the intro section. I'm sure I'll come around to it but I don't like how it started. These sorts of games the more blank the slate for your character the better (imo). This one they really have a backstory and you start as the captain of a ship. Not a deal breaker but definitely making it harder for me to get into it.
