The pirate dlc is nice as well, even if the titans in teeth of naros have a more original feel. (Autocorrect changed Naros to Maria...)

The other thing with choices that bothers me is that the games end and the choices are set. Time freezes and your character becomes irrelevant afterwards. Let's say you choose to help group a instead of group b when time constraints did not allow you to do both before whatever story event. The game ends and group be never received any help so... wait. After the story event, with the pressure taken off the character they could have gone and helped out. Yes, the help would be too late for the ideal outcome, but still it could have come. Spellforce 3: if I marry off npc a to npc b, merging the two noble houses under power hungry npc b, after the story ends, what stops my character from taking their army - which would still dwarf the army of npc b - and put pressure on him, if npc a told me he wasn't behaving? Imagine Mission were to get married and asked Revan to give her away at her wedding. After the game ends, Mission's husband turns out to be abusive. He'd get a knock at the door and find himself face to face with some very angry force users.

Silly thing is, it probably is the last decision before the final battle. If it weren't for it, it is a reasonable guess that I would have finished the game this evening.

Why do they have to put choices in my games? I keep taking breaks from Spellforce 3 because I can't make up my mind when faced with choices. Tell both noble houses to go to hell and ally with neither? Marry off the sister of one of my party members to the power hungry lord of one house, give him enough power to intimidate the other house into joining us? Or poison the guy's drink for the other lord to join?

Mutant Year Zero is not too long. It becomes more of a puzzle than tactics, as you try to figure out the optimal way of playing each map. Had fun with it.

I liked the story of the first one, but found the gameplay bland and uninspiring. As a KS backer I was very disappointed (was my first KS too). I enjoyed the second one a lot more. Very much improved in every way. Third game started promising but somehow lost me. Can't really put a finger on it why.

Not much of a fan, but Humble has a sale on the Shadowrun games people seem to enjoy. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/shadowrun-franchise-sale/

The DLCs are fun as well. I think I deleted my character and made a new one when I realised that Dispel could have saved the fae in that quest

Steam has one big advantage. You might be able to grab me for co-op

Maybe you can get it on sale at some point. If you enjoyed the game and the setting, some of those DLCs are very good.

Possibly you are missing something. Other than the main story, there were the DLC stories, centered around a specific character, with a few more making guest appearances. So Oscar Mike has a DLC where he goes back to Mike training school. If you play the DLCs with the right characters they unlock bonus skins, but they also have some more story dialogue during that mission.

Oscar Mike wasn't for me. Alani was at least for a long time considered easy mode. I also played Ambra and Mellka a lot. Shayne and Aurox are the most fun dialogue wise. I enjoy Orendi for the sheer destructive power, but solo someone who can heal (Alani) has their advantages. For the mission pack obviously you should try to play them through once with each of the story characters. I got bored after the Oscar Mike story pack. It already had juvenile writing, and the Montana one after that felt rushed. The Attikus story pack was the best. The Toby one was still fun. If only they had made the game single player / co-op instead of a team arena thing.

That sounds like a lot of work.

You'd think a big, modern title like that would have screenshots...

Sometimes I connect an XBOX controller just to use the screenshot/video feature even while playing with mouse+keyboard.

You are all heretics. There is no CIV. There is only SMAC.

Finally two gates close enough to get a single screenshot of the party both entering and exiting gateways: Now at Normal difficulty my party feels more heroic (where heroic is measured by ability to butcher troops)
