It does look good, I came across it several times when I was searching for " King Arthur RPG " I will definitely add it my list of next games. How did you find it compared to KA Wargame, I realize they different but Im still interested? What score out of 100 would you give it?

Good question, I dont think I am going to play the KA1 DLC because I have completed both main games now and I am happy with the amount of time I spent playing an RTS. I have that gaming rule where I select different types of genres every 2-3 games so I dont become bored And Im seriously considering Fallout 1, I have never played it. And that brings me to the next part of my post. I was doing some research around recommended mods for FO1 and I came across this link which shocked me @Lexx this is going to upset you but someone out there is copying your name and even your avatar picture. Its outrageous and you should sue or at the very least protest !!! https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fallout-et-tu-release-v1-8.218045/

I completed King Arthur Wargame 2 after 50 hours, I was surprised how much shorter the overall narrative was compared to KA1. I mentioned previously in KA2 they changed certain mechanics and I dont think some of them made the game better but things like artifact crafting is fun and useful and then you can train more units like monsters which adds variety to overall battles and your strategies KA2 gets a 60/100 on the " BruceVC game rating system" and in summary its not as good as KA1 but its still worth playing if you enjoy RTS and RPG hybrids

True but I doubt Trump understood why he appointed certain people to the SC, he was advised by well informed Conservatives who he should nominate The real understanding of the political and ideological views of that type of candidate is not Trumps strong point

Seriously, Putin has killed and assassinated political dissenters and Oligarchs for years. There is a long list. If Putin didnt authorize it then he isnt in control of the military or the FSB and I find that hard to believe. The sustainability of any autocracy requires control of the military and particularly around extra-judiciary killings if they practised by the state. If you look at NK or China nothing happens in those countries if the state isnt aware of it I am not saying its a missile or a bomb, Im saying Putin is behind it. Who else would have the ability or resources to do that within Russia?

Im about 30 hours into KA2 and its fun. They changed several of the mechanics from KA1 and I dont necessarily think they all create a better overall gaming experience but they not terrible changes The economic system is dumbed down and simpler and there is now a magic shield that you need to consider in every battle but I am now comfortable with that. And I am enjoying the lore and overall changes to the RPG elements around how your knights go on quests Also they added artifact crafting which is a good idea But its a good sequel, I will comment further once I have completed it

Why who specifically did you use to respect that since the war started you dont respect anymore? Im sorry to hear that, its terrible to be disappointed by people we admire and respect I accept commentators or institutions can make mistakes so Im more forgiving. But I dont support them if they make constant mistakes or push propaganda and I dont take state controlled media houses as seriously as private media houses in certain reporting

Im not surprised at all, if its true his time on this earth was always numbered Not that it bothers me in the slightest, Wagner is responsible for some of the worst cases of brutality in Ukraine

Yes during the Cold War we witnessed surreptitious regime change from all sides, Im not sure since then how much regime the US has secretly been involved in? But I am not talking about that, Im talking about the last 10-15 years in numerous places where there has been rejection of an autocracy or citizens unhappy with certain draconian developments and they protest then you have a group of people who are anti-US\anti-Western and suggest that the reason why people want leadership change is because the US\CIA is telling them or responsible for the protests. And often the governments themselves who face these protests claim the US is behind it as a form of cope and a way to handwave the legitimate grievances . And several examples come to mind that include the Arab Spring : allegations that the US was behind the widespread protests Iran hijab protests Zimbabwe protests Ukraine and the 2013 protests Venezuela with many citizens wanting a new political system And that doesnt mean the US\West doesn't support the idea of leadership change in many cases but they not the main reason citizens want to see a change

Post the link when you can, it sounds interesting? Vatniks on Codex will argue that the US was responsible for the "coup " in 2013 and it wasnt what the people of Ukraine wanted because it was the imperialist US and CIA that was behind the 2013 protests They will conveniently ignore the agency of the Ukrainians as if they cant possibly decide for themselves and how the majority of Ukrainians want to align with the EU and West and not be part of the Russian orbit

I dont know, give me a couple of drinks...some good music...some good laughs...who can say how things will progress

Here is a really good video about what ordinary Russians think about the question " are we winning the war ". No Russian media propaganda or Vatnik grandstanding made by people living in Western, Capitalist countries with no skin in the game I like the guy that makes these videos, Daniil Orain, because he gets feedback from people on the streets in Russia

Not for me, I am very happy with the EE and old versions of BG Larian must focus on refining BG3 and maybe a definitive edition and then future development projects should be BG4 or D:OS3

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/3812913565885064204/ Here is a list of cut content from BG3, this contains spoilers so be cautious. Obviously I am not sure what is a spoiler and what isnt but those who have played the game will know what the points are I imagine most of this content will be included in a definitive edition so I will wait for that version to play BG3

I liked the way they did Romance in DA:I, you can clearly see the Romance options marked with a heart and if you dont pursue it you dont experience it And I really tried to Romance Josephine but I failed

Wormie you need to explain to your companions that " No means NO " !!! But maybe you made your character too hot, how hot are you?

Im not waiting that long, lets say 3-6 months I

Be strong, I am confident you can handle companions hitting on you. Your character is trying to save the world, consider this another challenge in your journey https://www.pcgamer.com/baldurs-gate-3-review/ BG3 got 97/100 from PC Gamer and the gaming journalist says its the best RPG he has ever played. GOTY for sure?

https://brics2023.gov.za/ Anyone following or care about the BRICS summit for 2023, it starts tomorrow in SA. What substantive policies do you think are going to come out of it? I have been following the hype for months but after listening to literally dozens of opinions of the creation of a new BRICS currency and then that being officially abandoned a few weeks ago Im not convinced anything substantial to the global south will change Anyway we will see in the next few days, excellent business for local hotels and tourism industry so thats a positive

I welcome all continued military aid to Ukraine and particularly F-16s but how are they going to help with clearing of minefields which are a reality and a continuous obstacle to the offensive? CNN currently has some excellent frontline reporting going on with Nick Paton Walsh and he is embedded with Ukrainians in parts of the frontline and the minefields are slowing down the offensive even though you see progress

Yes I am on that and I can guess how its going to unfold. I am seeing my well-meaning Romans descend into the dark side and I noticed this when I brought back the 9th legion from the dead and conquered the Sentinel lands Once I have completed the prologue I can confirm what I think is going to happen and if so its an excellent narrative around the prologue and who the " bad guys " are

I completed King Arthur Wargame after 100 hours and it was an excellent RTS\ RPG experience I was pleasantly surprised I did complete it because I read several comments on Steam about it being too hard or the mechanics being unbalanced. Overall I played the game with the following approach I played on beginner I chose Rightful, Old Faith and I aligned with the Seelie I used my knights and there spells effectively and I included Lancelot, Green Knight and Merlin in my group I learnt how the economy mechanics work because that makes a huge difference to stability and revenue generation in your provinces which is critical for having a well resourced army But once you understand the combat mechanics its really makes sense and the game is incredibly fun. It gets a solid 70/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system " I enjoyed it so much I started playing KA2 yesterday, its different in some ways and I will do an update later once I have completed more of the narrative

The reality is politics shouldn't have to divide us in the same way religion shouldn't have to divide us You can have different views and agree to disagree or respect peoples different views and not try to change them. But the last 5-7 years I have noticed a disappointing trend, particularly in the US, where tribal politics and views has become normal and people immediately have a negative opinion of you if you a liberal or Conservative. I dont think its the majority of people but it exists and it tends to be the most vociferous people and it gets lots of media and Internet attention so its easy to think its the norm I went out a few times with a really nice lady about 8 months ago, she was pro-life and that was fine. I didnt get into an argument with her or try to change her opinion but I told her Im pro-choice and both of us accepted we had different views on the subject of abortion. It wasnt a big deal

Yes I have followed some of the opinions and it does seem incriminating but I also believe nothing is certain and his lawyers will present a defense, thats why I will wait for the outcomes of the court cases before I really comment
