Calling Lexx a spam bot was uncalled for. -

Remember the era when they would fill out all the fields in their profile and you'd recognise a spam bot by the fact they had three hobbies listed? -

Which story realm? Usually people have trouble with Grexolis from the base game. The archon orc beating them into a pulp. I found this mission hard the first try, as the Age of Wonders series usually favours aggressive play styles. Grexolis on the other hand I found it best to hang back and let other wizards draw the attention of eachother. Your AI allies can take a beating for a while. Then you help them against the other faction, and eventually you'll power through the orc. -

Nothing. My cat figured out the power button. -

Made some progress in Necromunda: Hired Gun. Didn't listen to people's advise to avoid an area where people disappear. Ran into a Genestealer nest. Kal Jericho and I agreed we'll continue our search in the opposite direction. Nice that neither the player character nor anyone they talk to know what a genestealer is, so your character just talks about monsters and then gets drunk to forget them. -

Nice. I found the rumour dudes annoying.

I used MO back then, and it was strange changing to Vortex for Skyrim. -

I am quite far along in Capes. Overall a very enjoyable turn based tactics game. It gets some flack for having specific characters, similar to Mutant Year Zero, Chimera Squad. There are no random missions. You can replay any mission at any time with a different configuration. The story is pretty dark. Years ago a group of villains killed the superheroes of the city and took over. Now the survivor sets op a team of young heroes to take revenge. It is interesting, because unlike many superhero games, there is no attempt to obfuscate the fact your team kills people. They pulled off the powers quite well. The team ups let characters enhance one of their powers with help of a nearby character. The speedster sets fire to where she runs with the help of the fire hero for example. The missions can be tough, but I enjoy figuring out how to best utilise every character to solve the problem at hand. There are people who complain the game is too puzzly. I feel there are a group of gamers strangely entitled. They believe that in a strategy game their strategy should win. In a tactics game their tactics should win. They don't want to work out a winning strategy, just to pretend they are good strategists. History is full of generals that lost battles. They had their strategies, just not winning ones. If they had access to steam forums, they'd have spammed that "Nerf the Roman legion. Slings are underpowered. These Devs know nothing of making a fun war. Why did my cavalry die charging fortified gun emplacements? This war sux"
