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?

Playing Wasteland 3 and classic fallout a little. For wasteland I played closer to launch, before the DLC. Decided to play steeltown. bit of a mixed feeling. On the plus side, you get to make lots of decisions on how to deal with the issue. I'm not sure how different it would be with different choices. Seems you can avoid a lot of fights if you choose to cooperate/have appropriate skills. The downside would be the combat. It's fine, but it's so repetitive. All the disruption weapons make the battles very tedious. Low damage but if you get disrupted enough that character can't act for a turn. Every robot deploys endless robo dogs. My assault rifle guy still uses an early game weapon because i just never get assault rifle weapons. Also I much prefer having a main character. Creating a crew makes it less immersive imo. Who am I even? At a certain point you pass every skill check due to sharing skills. For fallout classic, I think its just too dated for me. I have visited every location and I'm level 5. NPCs don't acknowledge other NPCs being dead. Quests like saving tandi seem very anti climactic. I didn't play RPGs back then, so I think it's just hard to go back and play them. Maybe I'm just a hater

I have played for about 15 minutes so I pretty much know everything about the game. I remember everyone looking the same, and even though graphics aren't important, art style is, so I didn't get far. I believe the only thing I did was head to some outpost where I was killed very quickly. It seemed like one of those games that I was just too dumb (or lazy) to figure out.

Well I'm done with BG3. I'm sure it's a good game, there is just too much that bugs me. normal writing would be "i walked home" larian writing "my promenading jaunt cultuvated in my advent betwixt dwellings implanted upon the thoroughfare" Think I'll just stick to EU4 until broken roads comes out

I'm giving BG3 another go. Having trouble sticking with a main character class. I feel like you are kind of forced into having shadowheart around unless your MC can heal. She's my second least favorite companion so far... behind only Gale, who might be the most annoying video game character since claptrap from borderlands. Might just start over and leave him in that portal. From playing the first 45 minutes like 8 times I notice a lot of the interactions make you think your class matters but you get the same [class] dialogue option in all the conversations so far... it just changes what class it says before the dialogue.

I think that's when I stopped having fun. Early on I was being tactical and trying hard... then by the end I just ran up and smashed people with little effort.... when I had 20 cool points I could basically just sneak right passed people directly in their line of sight, and as long as I didn't stop there they wouldn't notice me (senpai)

Finished The game went with the new ending. Story wise the individual stories are great. There is just a bit of a disconnect (personally) with who V is. The new ending makes the most sense for how I'd imagine V would act. Vs objective has always been to find the cure. Anyway, I liked it. Around 50 hours and I was only getting bored for the last 5 or so.

Spoiler alert! Jk everyone sells you out in this game.

I'm enjoying the game, but I feel like I've been playing too much and I'm enjoying it less as I go. I'm almost level 50 and at this point I wish this was a hub based game. I enjoyed the open world for a while, but it's mostly just annoying traveling from gig to gig at this point. The only thing I outright don't like are those car stealing/delivery missions. Cars handle like ass (I only ever use motorcycles outside of missions where you have to drive a car/truck) and the combat in vehicles is just lock on and press fire. Also my computer is dying slowly ad I binge this game. Story and characters are very good though. Even throw away characters have more to them than some other games companion characters.... won't mention what game that is... for the sake of my self restriction on trolling

Ahh weird. I was using melee, so definitely a different situation

Are 1 and 2 purchasable digitally anywhere?

Might be hitting them 1 too many times... I believe if they are downed, and you hit them again it will kill them. Pretty sure it happened to me, and now I'm super careful when they are low on health

I stick to a simple 10/10 I liked it 0/10 I didn't like it formula

The dash is annoying me also... usually when I'm sneaking and I accidently dash out into everyone's line of sight... but also dashing to my death

Got to the phantom liberty part of the game... I am struggling hard with all the platforming at the start. I've died at least twice as much in the first 30 minutes of phantom liberty than I have the rest of the base game.... I am... so bad

Playing Trails of cold steel 2 and while I like the series, I can't explain why I like the series. It's very odd how forgiving I am of cheesy dialogue in jRPGs but when I play Starfield I'm like "this is trash writing" meanwhile, trails of cold steel has a deus ex machina every chance they get. I just finished act 1 and I think the party has been saved by a random hero like 5 times.

I beat sea of stars. It was good. I feel like 10/10s are so freely given with games. I'd give it a 7/10 maybe 8/10 if I was generous. Combat is good. A little easy though. I kind of suck at RPGs and I only died 3 times. Graphics and running around the environments was the best part. One of the prettiest pixel art games I can think of. The tools you unlock make traversing fun. Bunch of simple puzzles. only one I had to look up, because it had to do with colors and I'm colorblind... (at least I think it had to do with colors because I had no idea what to do... and the symbols had colors.) Fairly short, for a JRPG style game. Which is fine because the story was the worst part. It wasn't bad, there were some moments that made me laugh(ol). Just that the main narrative was a little bland. Special main characters save the world from an unbeatable foe. Not awful, just mostly forgettable.

I decided to just kill everyone on the crimson fleet base thing while working for them. I just wanted to see what would happen. There's about 6 people that can't die on that ship. I'm level 10 and I took out the whole ship. So 6 of them were hunched over in temporary death. It didn't give me a quest fail, still had a marker on the one I was supposed to be following. Decided to leave and come back. Half expecting them to resume with the quest. They were all waiting for me, right on the other side of the door. Death by firing squad. I think I will count that as the end of my journey.

I think they said it's going to be a new galaxy, so I don't think there will be much carry over from the previous game... that could have changed by now though

I've decided to (or at least try to) stop talking about starfield. I think I'm just annoying people at this point... but yeah 10+ hours I gave it, and I'm done now. Maybe I'll revist it eventually, but I kind of doubt it.

That would be pretty cool

Honestly I thought it was a Chinese game studio

Yes but I had seen all over reddit and YouTube people saying "the main quest is actually really good" or "you gotta complete so and so part of the main quest, then it gets really good"

I've been pretty critical of starfield. However, I gave up on the main quest and started doing some faction quests, and they are a lot more interesting. Still early but it seems as though there are actually some interesting choices in dealing with quests... but that main quest is dreadful (some people like it)
