Your greetings inspired me. I hereby dub our favourite Obsidz devs, given the Microsoft acquisition of Obsidian, Microbes!

Sadly, this Fig quest failed, and the game wasn't funded. Hopefully, it will be made anyways.

As for difficulty: Even RPG/CRPG-veterans like you have had problems transitioning to PoE1, with a pretty different system in several ways (not radically, but still...). I still read complaints about certain ethereal monsters stun-locking the characters of eager PoE players so effectively that they say that story mode is too hard (not kidding here). Just go into it all being prepared to read the combat log after an encounter didn't go your way, and try to see how you can do the fight differently. May I humbly suggest slow mode and having lots of pause conditions under settings checked? If you really liked BGII and are just as seasoned as I hope you are, I'd say that you can safely pick normal and enjoy the game RPG-wise and combat-wise.

I updated my post above, just for our new Berserker-lad! Don't miss out on the great White March xps. However, don't play them too early, like level 8, would be great (but don't play them at the end!) Also, bear in mind that a few companions are available rather late, like Grieving Mother, so plan ahead a bit - just make sure that you have them all before White March (even though the reactivity there on their behalf is not stellar.

EDIT: A slight oops! I assumed that this was about a PoE2 Deadfire playthrough coming from PoE. This affects all of my replies. Sorry.

What I really liked was the new and fresh setting with Deadfire. And the art team, along with the fab music, shanties and sfx, made this world come alive like no other isometric party-based game. This often tropical archipelago, and all of the cultural elaborations and colonial intricacies actually turned into a really good CRPG. That's no mean feat! My only gripes, and they are rather minor, this being a CRPG, and not a tactical 4X game or an ARPG, is that I feel that the combat system isn't really perfect, it's even in a way inferior to that in PoE1, but most of the spells and talents and weapons are very neat indeed. And the other gripe is the great number of limited dungeons. Still, to compensate, we got a really meaty city with Neketaka. Deadfire is for sure the best pirate-themed CRPG I've ever played during my decades of playing, hands down.

EDIT: Removed, posted stuff in wrong thread.

Yeah, cloud saves have saved my behind many times, and several computer migrations have gone extremely smooth gaming-wise thanks to the Steam platform, in my case.

For the most part, I still like most of the stuff coming from PCGamer, so this is absolutely fantastic news! A huge congratz, dear Obsidz! What a X-Mas gift after all of your hard work.

In this case, exclaiming "Not even by a longshot" as a reply here would be an understatement.

Dishonored 2, just like Dishonored 1, is one of the best games I ever played. And this summer, having read books and comic books about the period between the two games, I appreciate the story in Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider even more. And yep, a few of the levels in Dishonored 2 are just insanely good. The time-warping level is perhaps the best in-game area + fresh mechanic, I've experienced. A true joy!

There actually isn’t. Like not even the little. We have isometrics to choose from for now, and phrase “Baldur’s Gate3” worries me. I got over it and got re-married couple times already. Not you are claiming to resurrect my first wife, but she is also not my first, and expect me to be excited about it. 18 years ago I would. Now I sit with a shotgun on my porch and suspiciously watch what this abomination will do. One second thought, this analogy doesn’t really work. For some morbid Ravenloft-y reason, I really think it works drowned-zombie-revenant swimmingly.

My preference would be isometric party-based CRPGs, but I have played Elder Scrolls games since Daggerfall, and I was really blown away at the scope of everything, the weather effects, etc. It's very relaxing. And yep, I play Skyrim just like Sawyer and Boeroer, and I really like it. It's relaxing. In one later playthrough of mine, I did it all over with a Dishonored powers mod installed. Great times!

We can nothing but wait, and all the while Xoti's losing her religion...

Whoomp, there it is!!!

"I killed Cosmo and I liked it! Then made a bird of that pig!" *Same melody as Katy Perry's megahit*

Another bump, as I have this crazy chick in my party now, and I need her to shine… ...properly, with her lantern, later...

The download for base game plus all DLCs except critical role on Steam was 25 GB. Now, let's see how big the game is unpacked and installed. The answer is... *drumroll* ...56.3 GB. I saved like 3GB on that Critical Role pack, at least something.

Thx for the heads (see what I did there?) up! I have never used them before.

I sure hope so, and some neat diskspace. I've downloaded like half of it all right now, and I prolly have like 20 min to go, but then again, I've loads of other tasks open at the same time on two screens.

Yeah, it does! Interesting to see how much dropping the CR pack will save me. Deadfire overall is bigger than several AAA titles I have installed. EDIT: Hmm, clarification, I started from Deadfire being uninstalled.

That's Blizzard's crappy optimization for ya, that's exactly why I'm more partial to just stick to exclusives on consoles. It shows how well the console can do with people who actually know what to do with given hardware instead of just releasing bad ports From what I've read, you're in for quite a treat and lotta action, having bagged those two games! Have fun over X-Mas and beyond!!

At least 58GB, it turned out to be, at least on Steam! So, the game being this huge, I had to uncheck the Critical Role pack, since all that VO surely must take up quite some space. This download will take quite some time. Can't wait! EDIT: Not Forgotten Sanctum alone. Don't get alarmed!!

I'm going for my second playthrough, and I will take on at least one of the Magran challenges. I haven't yet decided which. Also, since I did a very heavy Vailian run, I'll skip Pallegina entirely this time around.

What the title says. I'll have everything installed. Any word on the size of Forgotten Sanctum? Cheers! Indira
