Mamoulian War

OK. Now I am inside the cavern in the Cayron's Scar after few ridiculous pulls, one snow eating defeat and one Tentacle Cuddle Party... That was so ridiculous O.o

More Pillars of Eternity after few days of break. Went to Cayron's Scar and after few fights, I went met some crazy party, where Lagufaeths were together with Ondrite Fanatics... For some reason, three of my party members got some crazy AoE DoT ticking on them which did 40 damage to them... Of course there was no chance for my group staying alive... I tried to save at least Devil of Caroc, but the bubble spell which I use for situations like these completely failed. I need to recheck all of the Durance spells if he has some kind of DoT removal or at least supression for this kind of situation, because I completely forgot... So my party got obliterated, and my last save was more than half and hour back, soooo I kind of get annoyed and pissed off, that I rather turned off my game...

Then you are very close to finishing up PoE1. You should give it a try and import your party.

Again two more hours of Pillars of Eternity, and I was able to approach the Radiant Spore without being obliterated in few seconds! The big bad spore mind-controller fell after a glorious battle!

It's probably the quarantine 😛 Actually the OC was okayish in the first two acts. Beginning with the third, it went downhill

More Pillars of Eternity! And Kaoto from The Abbey of the Fallen Moon is no more! I got owned twice, before I was able to find a way how to get his party down. This fight would be impossible without Kana. His AoE paralyzing stun was the ability, which helped me to turn the tide of the battle on my side! I just had to be sure, to get into the cone the Cleric and as many monks as possible. And then slowly take them one by one slowly down. Very, very difficult fight.

That’s correct, I love to play sometimes fast paced shooters, like Doom or Hard Reset, but I hate them to watch. If you play the game, you feel the speed completely different than watching a stream or video.

Well, to me PoE was not tedious, I got asskicked in few fight for the same reason, as by Kangaxx, because I did not know the composition of the whole group waiting on me. Some of them were really hard, but I was able to survive the fight and even if I used most of the spells and consumables on it, I did not reload to try for better outcome, I just enjoyed it as it was offered. And if comparing it with BGs in my eyes, I enjoyed my first game of PoE more than BG, but on par with BG2. Maybe the story in PoE is for me better.

Well, it depends on the player. Even if developers do something to prevent savescumming, people find out how to do it. As best example are achievement runs in Paradox Grand Strategies, where it should save everytime you quit. If you fail in something, you drop the game and you can bypass that autosave. When I was younger, I have savescummed almost every game. Now I know, It's just waste of time. Even if I fail my rolls or dialog choices, I continue with the outcome. It brought me in PoE lot of interesting and surprising dialogue outcomes and consequences. *shrugs*

Moar PoE I have arrived into The Abbey of the Fallen Moon, and entered Halls of Silence. Exploring the surroundings, I have decided to click on a lever which I noticed on the wall, and The speed how fast that happened took me completely by surprise 😄

@melkathi ad 6. I care, and I enjoy it 😛 well with the exception of Durance. He is not as annoying to me, but from his whole spell pool I am using like 6 maybe 7 spells. Which is bad... Other spellcasters’ spell pools are little bit better balanced, but because it is not vancian type of casting, from in each spell level you Just pick the most powerful and cast them all the time. With Ciphers being the most extreme. As soon as I got access to level 6 spells, I am using 90% of the time one spell which spreads circle of water wave and knocks down all enemies in area. For me the most balanced spell pool is for the mage, followed close by druid spell pools. Unfortunatelly I was not able to find out a lot about chanter spells, so I will not comment on their spell pools. Being said all that, PoE is still one of the best wRPG games, I’ve played in last 10 years. Can’t wait to put my hands on PoE2...

After few days of break, I have again ventured into the world of Eora in Pillars of Eternity. I have finished the Iron Flail Fort and even though there was big slaughter, while getting to the leader of the camp, I was able to call for a truce, and we were able to finish the misunderstanding in a peaceful manner. Now I am back into the Durgan's Battery to prepare the cannons, for something, which might or might not come 😛 I let myself be surprised 😛

Unbelievable!

Well, IIRC, BG 2 had worse. I get sometimes pissed off, because of stupid pathfinding, but it is not every day, like it was with older infinities... Anyway, played more of PoE today as well, and hopefully I'll find few more hours in the evening. Main course of today's gameplay was Zahua's personal quest in Whitestone Hollow. If anyone is interested in seeing the whole Concelhaut affair, feel free to watch the video, which I had a time to finally publish it today 😛

And Concelhaut is no more in my world of Eora (Pillars of Eternity optional boss). My ass was AoEd to dust two times, before I finally kicked his 😛 A reward, two new spells for Aloth and new pet

It’s right about time 😛 I have started it in the middle of Act 2. And it was quite challenging. I was around level 7 or so...

More of Pillars of Eternity blind playthrough. I have just finished The Master Below quest and with for me unexpected outcome 😛 We'll see what I might get out of that later 😛

The reason might be most likely to much better testing of population in Germany. e.g. in Slovakia, you are not tested until you have 38 Celsius, even if you had every other symptom. Also it’s almost 1 week after 1st person was detected here, but only today the private labs started testing for Corona. Up until today, only two state labs had tests in stock.

Slovakia on complete lockdown for 14 days. Only groceries, pharmacists, banks, posts, gas station can serve their customers. Restaurants can only serve meals to customers one by one if they do not allow their customers inside the shop.

And I always thought it means Chav RPGs... 😮

Well some stuff I learned about my Bananistan country while in Quarantine. Somewehere in the end of January or politicians helped few of their business firends to buy ****loads of medicinal stuff needed for treating epidemies, they made ****loads of money, and now, our country has not enough stuff to supply the hospitals and police... we are in lockdown, no flights allowed in, no people without Slovak passport are allowed in by cars. People here are either in panic or are completely retarded idiots, who were going to ski two days after our government decided to go full quarantine on schools... currently around 40 infected people, but being able to be tested is almost impossible, if you have no fever over 38. So my statistical guess is around 300-500 infected, and most of them do not know about it and are spreading it, while trying to buy the last pack of flour or toilet paper. Just for a comparison. I was in Slovenia on business trip in a hospital, when 1st patient was tested. In a week, they got 140 infected people. When I get back, I put myself into voluntarily quarantine and asked for home-office without the need of government instructions, but when I tried to get me tested, I was denied despite haveing 7 out of 10 most common signs of the infection. I feel now completely fine, just getting bored a lot 😛 in Slovakia in 1 week, we had less than 20 confirmed cases, and this smells of incompetent handling of the situation... Thankfully, company for which I work has made a deal with one of the biggest laboratories in country, to get free testing for all of the employees, starting on Monday. My biggest fear now is my girlfriend, she still needs to go to work, because she is owner of restaurant, and people still need to eat, because now, for a lot of people it is safer to eat in restaurant where there is maximum 10 people at once, than going to some big mall, where still hundreds of people go each day. Still if our government does not make some kind of fiscal help to small and middle businesses, she will probably end up bankrupt in two to three months 😕 ****ty situation indeed. Thanks for reading my rant 😉 ps. Statistically, I think we will get in next two weeks crazy high numbers, and my guess will be very similar to the Italian progression of the disease, because people here are not disciplined, are selfish so a lot of them are still ignoring the precautions, and our politicians did funnelled billions of Euros from the hospitals to their own pockets in the last 25 years, and because of that our hospitals is on one of the lowest standards in EU... compared to Czechia, every year died up to 3000 people on curable diseases (5000compared to Austria)... and now imagine how the pandemics will **** with the people in these hospitals...

Hands down Alpha Protocol, because of it's uniqueness, c&c, and replayability.
