BruceVC

I never heard of her but I looked her up, thats some serious chainmail bikini armor....no doubt But I wont sacrifice gameplay for that type of aesthetic, gameplay takes preference always

I hope that doesnt impact chainmail bikini armour I get so upset when I hear people criticizing a liberated women's choice of clothes. People mustn't be sexist and we must accept that a womens body is her own and if a women wants to wear revealing clothes, because she is confidant, we need to support this choice

Great choice, I love all the political intrigue of W2. And another thing I love about East European gaming studios is they not really concerned with wokeness so you find attractive women and interesting themes in the game Go Sorceresses

I remember you use to share with us your stories of your Skyrim kids, it was interesting and entertaining

But you dont care about innocent civilians who get killed, why would this bother you now?

I completed DFU last night, it was an excellent RPG experience with the mods I used and the game scores an 80/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system". I will summarize some of the shortfalls around the game at the end. I spent about 260-280 hours to complete it Its the largest RPG I have ever played, I must have completed about 25-30 dungeons outside the main quest dungeons. I joined various guilds that included the fighters, mages, knights of the dragon, dark brotherhood and temple of Kynareth. But I spend most my time doing quests of the Mages Guild and I got to rank 7 and even summoned a Daedra DFU is the quintessential open world and sandbox RPG, I have never played a game quite like it and I doubt I ever will. I also enjoyed learning about the various factions and history of the Iliac Bay and I ended up deciding to align with the Empire and the Emperor and gave the totem to him (King of Worms actually wanted it, imagine giving such a powerful artifact to a stinking, foul undead ). The Empire has the best overall approach to maintaining peace and stability in Tamriel so I decided to support them This game requires an understanding of the dungeon design and dungeon clearing strategy, I included my tips for this is a previous post but the 3D map also helps when you tracking where you have been and where you need to still go. Using the 3D map is essential actually And then some negatives about the game which dont detract from the overall positive experience but they include it has some bugs like invisible walls in main mission dungeons like the Direnni Tower and your quest to find Medora. There is a lever puzzle with 4 x levers and you need to only lower the Direnni levers and then a wall opens and you can proceed but in my game there was still an invisible wall. So I just used Console and the teleport command when this happened. I had to do this maybe 6-7 times in total so its not a big problem but its real even with mods there are limited monsters that spawn so you end up facing the same enemies in most dungeons the combat becomes very easy, I got to level 11 and I had an enchanted weapon and I was able to kill most enemies in 2-3 swings or kill them with 1-3 fireball or lighting based spells. There are some mods that address this but I dont think they change the fundamental combat design But in closing, a fantastic RPG and well worth playing. Now I have played ES 2,3 and 4 its time to play Skyrim AE. I have never played Skyrim

Come on Wormie, lets be fair. That bear sex scene is a tiny, optional part of the overall game with the gay Vampire as far as I remember. It really shouldn't be seen as a reflection of the other features like the monk class and other 2 new races and the character customization looks very impressive?

https://www.pcgamesn.com/baldurs-gate-3/dark-urge The Dark Urge option for BG3 has got huge potential and some exciting components like " You’ll be guided by Sceleritas Fel, your loyal but depraved servant who wants you to fulfil your darkest desires – but will you listen?" I am seriously considering this

But there are much less mods for Consoles and the mods dont have the same complexity or support and updates from the modding community. And its for obvious reasons like the whole SKSE

https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-07-05-zuma-to-represent-belarus-at-zimbabwe-conference-on-trade-in-african-carbon-credits/ I cant think of a more pointless and bizarre decision than this, Jacob Zuma our former disgraced corrupt president is representing Belarus in some sort of carbon credit conference in Zimbabwe. This was the president who was deeply complicate in State Capture from 2010-2017 that cost us hundreds of billions of rands and shattered most of our SOE due to corruption and general accountability and governance within the public sector Clearly Belarus is not taking this conference seriously

Its the huge casual gamer console market mostly, they have huge buying power. They not hardcore gamers like us but they make up a significant and important part of the customer base

Yes Wormie I understand but why you overlooking the most important and influential 3rd party evaluation that the Internet has confirmed, through numerous metrics, has the most credibility and influence ? Didnt you know the " BruceVC this game is going to be excellent " analysis has been made several times. Its science and we all respect science and believe in science

Melkie as long as you continue to stand by me in our crusade against socialism I dont mind if you dont read my links

Okay but did you read the link I posted, they specifically mention working with Xbox to address console problems and optimization so this is another advantage with being part of Microsoft

, geez you guys are cynical. " Bethesda bashing " is so.....last decade They have addressed the problems with the older versions of this graphics engine. I think its best we just accept that Starfield is going to be real contender for RPG of the year. But it will lose to BG3

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/92159/starfields-new-creation-engine-took-so-long-to-do-bethesdas-todd-howard-happy-with-results/index.html Interesting update around Starfields new graphics engine, Creation Engine 2 Its going to be epic

Sounds absolutely fantastic, we have a braai culture in SA and thats similar to what you described as US barbeque culture. I love chicken hearts, vastly underrated

Gorth never apologize for caring about your country and doing your civic duty like military service or something similar We need more of that in all of societies

I really dont like to joke about things like this, if this invasion taught us anything its that you cant put anything past the Russians and what they may or may not do around military strategy or outcomes

Yes as Zora mentioned Sky News UK is completely different with how they discuss news, I watch some Sky News Oz and I would say Sky UK is more liberal\left but its probably centralist

https://news.sky.com/story/royal-air-force-illegally-discriminated-against-white-male-recruits-in-bid-to-boost-diversity-inquiry-finds-12911888 This is an outrageous story about senior and surreptitious discrimination around the hiring and retrenchment of white men in the UK RAF. A full report has been released about this appalling practice that occurred in 2020 and 2021 and the RAF has committed to " learn from their mistakes " The former head of the RAF hiring , a women, refused to agree to this and she resigned. To quote from the link below " The RAF's head of recruitment refused to follow an order to prioritise women and ethnic minority candidates over white men because she believed it was "unlawful", defence sources have claimed and a leaked email has revealed " https://news.sky.com/story/raf-recruitment-chief-refused-unlawful-order-to-prioritise-women-and-ethnic-minorities-over-white-men-leaked-email-reveals-12678612 @Gorth and @xzar_monty @Pidesco can you believe this type of discrimination occurred in the UK? At least its been resolved and its in the open

Lovely, purge competent generals and and senior military staff. It benefits Ukraine

And so the inevitable purge starts after the failed insurrection, quicker than I thought but completely expected

I about 90 hours into DFU and Im having an absolute blast, its one of the best RPG I have ever played because of the vastness of the game world and the myriad of choices and things to do I have completed about 10-12 dungeons and I now have a good strategy to complete quests in dungeons, I have created my own Dungeoneers Survival Guide which includes the following " must have " items to ensure success during long explorations underground recall spell cast at the entrance for quick exit and to access my wagon and go back into the dungeon extra oil for my lamp repair tools for various items like my sword and camping kit landmark journal so I can create specific teleport points healing and cure potions in case my magic runs out Locator Device : this can be used when you have explored a certain percentage of the dungeon and it creates a small dot on the HUD which shows you where your target is in a general direction. I have only used them twice and its handy when you very frustrated after seemingly exploring the whole dungeon but still cant find the target...and then it turns out you missed a secret door. Its a good last resort to help you without making it too easy I have done loads of fun quests like the Wild Hunt which was about finding a werewolf in 6 hours and then another one where I was teleported into the dungeon to kill someone and had to find my way out and then a prostitute was cursed by witches and I had to break the curse. But the quests are endless and vary from simple fetch or delivery to the complex so I never get bored I have to keep reminding myself to also go on the main quests which Im taking very slow and will focus on it once I start getting bored with the side quests Im a battlemage and I joined the Mages Guild and I love the various services like creating spells and magic items, it lets you become strategic about what effects and magic you decide to use But a fantastic game, further updates to follow

I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite, I liked the dystopian world and the overall narrative but I found parts of it confusing. When I finished it I did a narrative summary and then it made sense
