Mamoulian War

Actually, that's what I call a good in-game shop. No need to buy anything from it to not spoil my game, but if there is anyone who for whatever reason wants to throw his money out of the window, who am I to judge, if it does not impair my experience from the game. Bamco has such microtransactions in som of their games as well. You could buy XP and money, but I have never ever felt in any of their Tales of games, that the balance of the game was skewed to force people to buy this ****

Well, looking at their current DLC policy, it is quite possible, that this possible outcome, would end as a positive thing for the fans

In what game? They had at some point inferior version of later Hitman, but after they found out how it sucks, theynremoved it from catalogue. Don’t remeber any other such case.

I have solved the "Mystery" in the Nashville station in Encased. The game has really a lot of text, but I got used to it. The story has taken a very interesting turn there. And I am now hyped, what to expect next. Even without the knowledge of the game, I am still able to move forward without attacking anyone. But it was already twice very close to fail at Nashville

A little bit more thoughts about the “theater incident” Budanov words, https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/27/7448459/ and William Spaniel explanation, who also suggest that Rosgvardia is to busy in and around UA as well.

If you start to think, Russia can’t provide more comedy, youtube recommends you this

Well they are still holding/fighting in Kozinka, Glotovo and Gorkovskyi villages. And Russian army destroyed almost every house in the Kozinka. And tens of thousands people had to be evacuated from Grayvoron and even Belgorod. So yes for some it might be considered as not much, but it has still shown a weakness at russian borders. If they cannot guard even borders with a state with which they are at war, how good do you think, will their other borders will be guarded? And as you have seen ISIS did not needed any artillery to get to Moscow, unlike Prigozhin

I was 100% sure you have been talking about Darkest Dungeons 2 until other people started to post again about Dragon's Dogma 2

Rosgvardia is currently also mostly in occupied territories going after partizans. And Russia is crazy big country. You can see once in a while how 20% for that big country is enough, whenever the "Russian Volunteer Corps" decide to heat up the pot a little bit Russia is currently all-in after Ukraine, hoping, that no one is brave enough to attack Russia. And this might have changed with the release of these videos Only time will tell...

The ISIS "officials" has already responded to the Russian videos of torture. They have announced they will avenge their "warriors" and will be going after Russian officials, as they view them as "anti-muslim nationalists". From the historic point of view, it will interesting to see how the Russia will fight against enemy, which has as much disregard for human life, as they do. Especially, when 80+% of their forces are currently in Ukraine and their borders have more holes than a collection of Swiss cheese.

If they want to form the two above mentioned armies, as Shoigu said, they need to mobilize people from original muscovite regions as well, as they are running out of non-slavic "economic slaves", and they do not want to risk revolt. Some dead "pure russians" would lean the population to be more acceptable to general mobilization. Similar thing happened in Beslan school very shortly before their previous SMO. The FSB rhetorics about the involvement of Ukraine in the attack is already pushed out hard.

Kind of goal nr 5 - March 23, 23:45 It did not took long, and I had a chance to see the second “ending” in Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG from GOG. It was much easier to spot than the first one, so the only reason, why I have went for it, was my curiosity, if there will be achievement for this demise as well. And there was .

Goal nr. 4/2025 - March 23, 16:00 I met the criteria for the first ending in my first GOG playthrough of Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG. Do not click, if you plan to play it with no walkthrough

When Paizo announced ORC license

Regarding the Belgorod incident, Russia in order to take out “insurgents” completely annihilated Russian village/town of Kozinka. It looks like, their army uses scorched earth tactics as only viable tactics, even while “defending” at home There are videos available from the village, if you want to see it, not gonna link them here, as they might breach the forum guidelines. and as soon as Putin has been “elected” things started to move at hypersonic speed in Russia, and most of the big western media has either missed it or ignores it, and it pretty much makes sense now, why Macron has be so adamant about western troops in Ukraine. Shoigu announced the creation of two more armies in Russia, along with 16 brigades and 14 divisions. If successful, Russian army will be bigger than French, Italian, British, Polish, German, Spanish, Netherlandese, Swedish and Danish combined! It is clear that Putin has been emboldened by the Republican actions. And Peskov has stated ofr the first time since the start of SMO, that Russia is in warstate. The Russian war against NATO is more likely than ever Edit: Russia already aired deepfake video in the TV, that the terrorist attack is linked to Ukraine. And FSB has detained 11 “terrorists linked to Ukraine” already. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/23/7447789/

Thank you for the advice, I have already seen it, but did not knew it was your guide The issue is, that I wanted to attempt pacifist run, right out of the bag, without the knowledge of these critical path, and didn’t knew I would get stuck so soon, because I thought, I will be able to talk out of everything, like in most of the different games And the battle simulator proved me wrong right at the start of the game. I do not want to restart the game, I never do this when I play my first playthrough, out of stubbornness to see how far I can get with suboptimal build. But I ma pretty sure my build is not trash this time, I just have not expected, that you will have to invest heavily into combat skills, if you want to go non-lethal way so it looks like, I have to find a way, how to skip the battle training altogether. Is that even possible?

Sigh, I am stuck at battle simulator. I would like to attempt a pacifist run, but I am unable to get over the battle simulator without killing the "images". Anyone has an advice how that can be done? Or to skip?

Have not rested yet, we’ll see how it plays out

I have today one day off at work, so just before my lunch, I have started to play Encased, which I have bought yesterday on sale on GOG. Got through the character creation and traveled by the lift It looks like it will be pretty text heavy game. For now, I have a guy with max Charisma and very high Psyche and Intellect and I am member of the Silver Wing. But I have a very big urge to restart the game with the Woodpecker pregen, which has 2 Intellect, despite being the member of the white wing

Hmm interesting, didn't knew that. So for a foreseeable future, a new entry into my blacklist has been made. Thank you.

Wow. I would expect something like that from Ubisoft. Not from Capcom...
