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

Pidesco please dont encourage bigotry, just say NO to ageism

But what did these Wagner soldiers expect, that a group of war criminals, mercenaries and convicts were going to run a country? Im sure they are angry but its better than being annihilated

Yes I doubt thats true

Do you have the link?

Im not surprised the Chinese are unhappy with Prigozhin's failed insurrection, that would be unthinkable in China and it also shatters the myth of Putins indomitable control of Russia and support for his leadership. Its difficult to believe in a BRICS led world order when your key partner is involved in a protracted war with no clear end in sight and then you see what Prigozhin did ....the Chinese like stability and consistency and the reality in Russia doesnt reflect that

I am interested, are these people that support Putin and the invasion?

Good to hear, that makes me feel better

When I ask a question its to everyone and the poster. So yes your opinion is always welcome

This Tweet makes some good points about the nature of the insurrection

Do you think this is credible, after the Ruskies blew up the dam anything is possible and it worries me immensely

But he wont let it go but Putin faced a serious problem with Wagner so they reached a backdoor agreement. He cant fight a war on 2 fronts but there will be consequence for Wagner

What a strange development, I wonder what really happened to the end the insurrection? I think Prigozhin assumed he would get more support and when that failed to materialize he was provided a lifeline and some backdoor agreement from Belarus But it was legitimate, Putins "1917 " speech and the obvious tension between Prigozhin and Shoigu is real. Putin will never let this go and as I mentioned earlier Prigozhin is on borrowed time

Putin doesnt accept that kind of disloyalty and embarrassment, Prigozhin is on borrowed time He better avoid windows and food

Im not remotely concerned about that because its getting ahead of ourselves If Wagner doesnt get support from other Russian military groups I think this rebellion will be over in 7 days

Not worried at all because its almost impossible to believe either side would use Nukes within Russia and its not like Wagner has any access to them

Small steps, any additional fraction and weakening of the Russian military is a good thing and thats what this development is at the moment

I am interested in the point you raised earlier, will Russian troops and Wagner mercenaries side with Prigozhin because now he has been declared a traitor I never thought I would I say this but this is the first time I have ever sided with Russians, the Prigozhin faction, in this war

Its quite strange and hilarious at the same time, Vatniks on Codex are saying this whole thing is just psyops to give the Ukrainians a false sense of confidence But I do think its legitimate, I dont like Prigozhin or trust him but this event and outcome is beneficial to Ukraine because it confirms the real fractures within the Russian military

It does seem to be legitimate anger from Prigozhin but I doubt he will be able to implement any kind of military coup, there are literally tens of thousands of loyal Russian forces within the country and Wagner numbers maybe 30k or so? But its nice to hear the truth from Prigozhin about the false narrative for the invasion. I wonder if his comments on this will have any public influence within Russia? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/prigozhin-says-putin-s-reason-for-invading-ukraine-was-a-lie/ar-AA1cWydW#:~:text=W agner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday,fed to him by the Kremlin's top brass.

Geez, no need for racism. Remember words can impact the dignity of people 🐲

Wormie I should we become space pirates, what do you think ☠️

But the referendum was a joke and a farce. Lets not pretend it was even remotely credible And thats normal for how the Ruskies do referendums, like the annexation of the 4 x Donbas regions

Here is another Starfields interview, it discusses some real features and mechanics. For those that dont want to watch the video here is a summary of the main points the game will include ( these aren't my summary points because its a 40 minute video and I havent watched it ) As predicted it will be a modders paradise and Wormie we dont have to worry, there will be Romance options Starfield direct took a lot of time to make Was pleased to be able to highlight so many people on the team There is a faction for being a space pirate There is a large font option Steam deck compatibility will be something they talk about later down the road When players compare character builds they will be unique and varied 10% of planets have life on them If you start to add to many things to a planet it starts to feel gamey The exploration is different than they than they have done before There are a lot of biomes with different temperatures / radiation etc. The players suit helps with these Some planets have multiple biomes some just have one If you survey everything on a planet that information is worth a lot of credits Will need to play the game to see if there are special creatures like how fallout has deathclaws and elder scrolls has dragons There will not be land vehicles or the ability to ride wildlife. Your boost pack will have skills There will be low gravity planets Companions are optional You can spend traits and skills for a more solo centric character Companions relationships can change Four companions have full questlines and romance options Music is one of the first things they start with along with concept art Said the music Inon Zur made for Starfield could be his favourite Music gives the feeling of what the world is like There is one small radio station for a certain location Has never had plans to be an in game radio host All ships are upgradeable wether you buy or steal it If you do steal a ship you have to spend credits to register it You dont start the game being able to afford ship building as it is more of a long term thing in the game The modules you attach to the ship effect the internal area of the ship as you walk around inside of it There is lore in the game to explain how travel works Very happy with current version of the creation engine. Loves the lighting model, volumetric fog, physics, happy with quest system Never looked at taking features, graphics away for frame rate sake as they want consistency over a performance mod Best feeling game to control they have had There will be one-off type sidequests and thats ok Will be a modders paradise Outpost is a deep system like ship building that requires a lot of resources. Going to need to develop character skills. Like ship building it is meant for longer term playing Outposts can be connected between planets. Outposts can be an income generator Worked really hard on Starfield. They put everything they learned from previous games into it. They love it and hope everyone else feels the same Xbox has been very supportive Will not answer if there are black holes Vosco (the robot) cant wear a hat like codsworth / mr handy Asked about why they don't make smaller projects and he pointed to fallout shelter and some unannounced mobile game but said as a player he likes big worlds
