  1. I was so excited until I saw that it likely won't be RTS and an open world shooter instead... lame
  2. My whole family, which usually votes NDP (far left, never gunna be in charge party), voted conservative this time around. So I am a little surprised conservatives didn't win. I still stuck to NDP because my riding is heavily liberal so it wouldn't matter. Im happy how the election went. I did not want conservatives but I also don't trust the liberal leader. Mostly due to him being a banker. Minority government will make him have to work with the other parties a little. Edit: also the Liberal party is actually the more "nationalistic" party in canada. Generally the conservatives want to be more like USA and Liberals cling to canadian national identity. However, if by nationalism you just mean ****ty to immigrants then yes... conservative is more nationalistic
  3. I will be playing detective dotson as my next game. It's a bollywood styled pixel detective game. Looks cute. Hopefully its actually good, either way, it will at least be somewhat original.
  4. Well if I hadn't just finished two first/3rd person RPG games back to back i might give it a shot, but i need a break so no Oblivion for me.
  5. It felt like each new area got progressively worse. That first map i was having so much fun. By the time I got to the 4th map it was so desolate I barely bothered to climb and find new things. Story wise it did that thing where the player knows the mystery way before any of the characters. I imagine it would be less obvious if I hadn't played previous games. "It was ok" sums it up pretty well
  6. Beat avowed. I enjoyed it. The worst part about is it that you are aedyran. Limits role playing. The best thing about the game is how they managed to make it feel like Eora. Don't want to go into particulars. Maybe I will write something in the avowed spoilers page. One thing is for sure. After playing kcd2 and avowed back to back, I am done with first person RPGs for a while.
  7. Im surprised how much I'm enjoying avowed. It might just be my strong bias towards obsidian games. I also wonder if I had played this before KCD2 if my thoughts would have changed. Main character has a set role. Choices are pretty basic. Missions are very repetitive and yet... I am really enjoying myself. It could be that Eora is doing the heavy lifting.
  8. I had high hopes for that game. I don't think I even made it 5 hours.
  9. I finally started playing avowed now that KCD2 is done. It's a nice shift from realism to pure fantasy. Mostly ive just been exploring and jumping. It's a lot less stressful so far.
  10. I should say that I like the game. Characters, dialogue and gameplay were all very good. I just have some issues with the pacing and overall narrative.
  11. The first map is almost perfect. It ends at a very satisfying place. Most of my problems are with the kuttenberg map. It starts with playing as father godwin. All the father Godwin sections feel unnecessary and mess with the flow of the game. Really feels like they could have just been cinematics. This includes playing the final siege 3 times as Godwin. Once at the start, once midway, and then a final time during the actual siege. This might be a little my fault for not role-playing enough, but I felt very disconnected from Henry once arriving in kuttenberg. How it might be my fault is that I accepted every side quest. Mostly all of the side quests are "go steal this thing". If you were playing as an honorable Henry it feels like you would be locked out of 3/4 of the side quests. Sneaking and stealing feel unavoidable, but maybe it is avoidable and I just didn't avoid well enough. Finally the ending of the game felt incredibly unsatisfying. There are some plot points left open, but it doesn't seem like enough to make a full game around them. Maybe they could do them in DLC, but then you aren't getting "the real ending" without buying DLC. KCD1s ending was anticlimactic but had me excited for a sequel. KCD2 ending just feels empty. Maybe that's on purpose, the pointlessness of war and all that. Maybe it's to do with it being somewhat historical, so they can't have you doing anything that rewrites history. My mind might change as time goes by. While I reflect on the story. This is just how I feel on completion of the game.
  12. I beat KCD2. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest. Right now I'm a lot less interested in a sequel than I was after the first game. I did enjoy the game. Just very odd pacing. Not sure i will do another full playthrough. Kind of hope warhorse make a non KCD for their next game
  13. One of the only things I like about the dragon age series, is that they always have a new protagonist. It just feels more natural to get a new character and start from scratch. Much preferred over "you hit your head now you are weak". It also has more variety in play. Maybe the first game you are evil, and then in the second you are a paragon and have to deal with the fallout of the first games evil choices. I suppose you could do this but it doesn't really make sense having the same character act completely different game to game
  14. Yeah im fairly sure it's not timed. Honestly, even if it is, at this point I'm screwed unless I want to lose like 8 hours of side questing. From what I remember in KCD1 there weren't that many timed main quests. Since Katherine is a main character I highly doubt she's going to die because I took too long
  15. Im really hoping the spot i chose to side quest isn't timed... it feels like it won't be because I keep getting side quests that are to be completed in the camp where I need to meet Katherine. I need to meet Katherine in a camp... if you know for sure it's not timed it would be helpful... if it is timed... whoops because I have taken a lot of time away from the main story.
  16. Most excited I've been for game since... ever maybe
  17. Mostly focused on combat, which is the thing I'm least interested in. It looks fine. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but nothing has made me more excited than I initially was. In conclusion I want poe3, but avowed still interests me.
  18. Is a melee build viable? I restarted with high endurance and strength. It's much easier but I feel like late game is going to be tough. It's nice being able to hold so many items, that's for sure.
  19. This holy detonation DLC final boss for wasteland 3, reminds me why i always play on normal... like 99% of the time I'm fine with harder difficulties... but then a boss like this comes around... good God is it painful.
  20. Whoops I meant ian... just thought his name was Alex haha. I just have Katya and dogmeat. Ian is the one stuck in a cave.
  21. I think I will go back to it. I might want to recreate my main character. Plus I think I'll need alex, and he's forever trapped in the scorpion cave currently. I went small guns, and low strength (4) which in retrospect seems like a dumb decision. I think I might have even boosted charisma over strength... and so far charisma seems pointless. And I can't imagine I'm taking down super mutants with a pistol. On the second DLC for wasteland. It's a lot goofier, but it's made me laugh out loud quite a few times. It also made me feel super guilty for I appreciate that they are switching up the combat, but I am getting a little annoyed by it. Both DLCs have very drawn out combat. It has kept my attention but it's also a time waster. It's kind of funny how DLCs tend to destroy any difficulty in the base game. You get all these advanced weapons and perks from the DLC that by the time you return to the base game you're very OP.
  22. Ive settled on playing Wasteland 3 over everything else. I love how the choices are I that game... I enjoy thinking I made the wrong decision everytime I make a decision. There either isn't an outright "good" choice to make... that or I always make bad decisions... either way I wish more games would follow the "road to hell is paved in good intentions" saying. New Vegas did this very well, wasteland 3 might even do it weller. More well... better
  23. One stupid thing I did early on, was take Alex (I think that's his name) to the scorpion cave. Then when I didn't need his help I told him we should part ways.... I kinda figured he'd return to his house in shady sands... now he's in that cave, and as far as I know I can't reenter that cave. So he's as good as dead me thinks
  24. I like the companions in wasteland 3 a lot. I just would prefer to have a main character instead of starting with 2 that you can switch out and replace. It's almost more like I'm a general giving direction than actually a part of the crew. Maybe I'm just not talking to the right people, but it feels like there aren't a lot if quests. Do I rely on random encounters to level up?
