Oh it absolutely does. I just took the 7 day subscription thingy for SWTOR for the sole reason of buying the new stronghold and decorating the shoit out of it.

...you know, that's exactly why I dislike princess Leia, what with her always bossing people around like irritated, cranky, too demanding mum. And I am serious.

Well, Concelhaut as Watcher's pet skull seems to sustain himself on candied nuts, shark soup and booze, so mayhaps living soul essence is more a guideline rather than rule. Also, here's hoping we meet and turn him into pet skull again in PoE3.

Now when you can see reactions, it is indeed easy to game him into approval. Thing is...now I don't wanna to. So for any subsequent play-through I'll still stick with my easy going (and easy) dudes Serafen and Tekehu and let Rolleyes seethe in his own sour'n'dour marinate.

I don't normally play RPGs on launch preferring to wait for at least a wave or two of bugfixes so any comparison would be imprecise, but I'd say New Vegas is (still) buggier. But then, a) there are very few bugs that actually piss me off (e.g. CTDs) and I do not even notice cosmetic bugs like clipping and blurry textures unless someone draws my attention to them, b) if I find the game lacking in other departments I naturally notice more bugs about it (e.g. Skyrim) so all things considering Deadfire is fine by me.

One day I am totally going to do that all-sidekick run. Ooooone day. But first, I'll do the bomber run. I collected quite a lot of new shiny explosives throughout Beast of Winter, would be a damn shame for them to go waste.

Ooooh! A fashion show! Here's a few of mine: The Donkeyskin: The Arkemyr's Envy: The One Eyeroll Too Many:

It's still better than my reason of not entering it, which is "because I somehow failed to see it for some time". Clearly I need that third eye not just for perfect eye contact with Vatnir.

Makes sense. They're not some comic book shiny superheroes here to battle The Evil, they're quite realistic powers with political, economical and social interests, and the first thing those do is try kill competition -- like Vailians. Marauders like Principi are actually more useful alive and operating -- as a leverage, an excuse to invade, a bogeymen for the masses, etc.

And I want to take him home, make him a big bowl of chicken soup, top it with a pint of grog and tell him everything's gonna be alright. That idle pose of his is so pitiable; it would be in character for Rymrgand to give him perma-flu on top of everything else. Anyway, I loved this DLC quite a lot, unfortunately will have to postpone consequent play-throughs -- not only current weather is ruining muh immersion (except for that one level, you know which ), it is also not helping with my CPU overheating-by-Deadfire problem.

Working as intended. There is no such thing as "+2 conversation" with Aloth, because devs didn't even bother coding it in, knowing it's impossible to achieve max positive influence with Mr Rolleyes McSigh.

Pft, entitled Greenwich Meanies, thinking their bloody longitude is still as important in XXI century as it is used to be. Well not anymore, mate!

What about "Divine Divinity"? Swords, spells - check, isometric - check, single player - check. Scaling spells. No party though, and somewhat Diably-crawly, but the story is there, if a little forgettable.

Yeah, I found that funny too. As for cringy dialogue, nothing can beat "stunned tuna eyes" in Tekehu's romance stuff, but I'm pretty sure the writer sneaked that in on purpose.

I'm playing Tyranny. Love the setting, story and writing so far (started Chapter 2) more than PoE and kinda-sorta on par with Deadfire, although I can see how it's not for everyone (not only are you surrounded by as$holes, you are one too!). Also spell system is neat. But I cannot with combat. I play RTWOPs so obviously I don't need something awesome happen every time I push a button, but something...anything would be nice. Here I click and I don't know what's happening -- or rather why nothing is happening. Did I misclick? Was my action put on a queue? Did I click impatiently multiple times and now somehow locked or canceled that action? Is there even an auto-attack? Aaaanyway. After a few restarts I found out that electricity/frost mage works well enough, so for now the remaining major problem is me being piss poor all the time. Loot is such garbage that selling it just barely covers my expenses of tower upkeep and lore training.

You make excellent points. I don't want to open a can of worms here, but have you noticed that even in our very cosmopolitan, modern society, you'll often find people of the same race hanging out together? There really is a lot of truth to the old "birds of a feather flock together" thing. IMO that's because there are way more cultures in our society than races and there's a significant overlap between races and national states (culture). I doubt that in Eora Glanfathan elf will have more in common with Aedyre elf that with fellow Glanfathan Orlan.

Because we obviously do not have enough fantasy settings with insufferably arrogant, stuck up racist elves condescending to everyone else with smug superiority.

And Konstanten's big, big hands. At the same time.

Yeah, traveling to the Sunken City sometimes did that to me. But usually it would work OK after the reload, so there probably were some random numbers and luck involved. Anyway, I didn't really mind.

Fallout 1 with its worst timer ever lies forgotten? Gerroff my lawn, you Bieber-loving young'uns. Hunger meter in MotB was negligible if you always suppressed and sometimes tricky when overindulging, but I actually liked it. It wasn't a time limit per se but something similar to what you have in Sims games, and nobody ever accused these with being difficult.

Guys, guys!! Ydwin. Cranky, power hungry, can be mean. Magical experiment with interesting results. What if Ydwin IS Edwina?!?1?

I'm with him here. F‡ck the Campbellian Monomyth forever into Pet Sematary of Dead Horses.

Oh good, I was afraid I was going crazy (crazier?) when a whole page went by and everyone just glossed over this. That was my fault. For some reason I have trouble keeping Orwell, Orson Wells, and HG Wells separate in my head. I blame video games. ...Orson is actually Welles, if we're talking Orson of Rosebud fame, not some distant obscure cousin of Herbert. 'sfunny how fanboy No 1 compares the not-yet-released game's promo texts with a game that's already out and comes to conclusion that looks OK to him? Also, his obsession with validating his dislike for Deafire starts to look rather unhealthy. Dude, it's just a video game. It's not a big deal if you don't like it as much as some other games. No, really.

Found them on Skaenites on "Sacrifice your companion" island. Attacked the group that initiated the conversation.

Pffffft, ignoramus. It's Mowgli's panther buddy, copasheshy capisce?
