Screenshot thread is only at 22 pages. But with the new Mordheim DLC I think I can get it to lockable length in no time

Dear obsidianites, obsididudes, obsididudettes and other denominations, today the following topics ran their allotted length and had to be locked: The RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS topic, in its 30th August iteration by Gorth reached an unwieldy length and was locked at 35 pages and re-opened and re-imagined by TrueNeutral in the 27th October version The The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt topic's 16th June edition by Rosbjerg reached a similar length (though not quite as far as the RVGN topic) and was locked at 34 pages. It too was re-launched by TrueNeutral with a 27th October interpretation. What do you think of the new version? Have they improved on the tried and true formula? Are they being innovative enough? Do they depart too much of what fans of the IPs have grown to expect? Discuss

*Funny detail: the thrall is wearing red, not black.

As promised: A forum post of The Wyrdstone Dead.

Expect screenshots here soon as Melkathi will resume standard screenshotting services.

Yeah, controller helps a lot. Still need to do the final battle again, since the game froze when I beat the boss :/

AI War II is on Kickstarter. Not really interested in the game, but ARCEN do deserve support: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcengames/ai-war-ii

Played the new update for Age of Barbarian. The new story content is brutal even for this game. I really did not expect it to end that way. So cudos to the devs for that. But they really need to hire someone who actually speaks English to rewrite that mess - I am half expecting the next enemy to inform me that "you have no chance to survive make your time".

Insomnia?

Was watching VGHS and had a great laugh when they did their rendition of collector's edition content NPCs: https://youtu.be/nhiRE2hfFJc?t=14m16s I think the first time I ran into something like that was Dragon Age: Origins

Though encouraged.

Vampires...

We want proper screenshots in the write up that illustrate the points made in the review or the sexist exploitation of women in the genre.

Yeah, I was tempted as well, but I tend not to be underwhelmed by Firaxis games.

Looking forward to the write up

If good gear has been dumped in a container within scan range, then AI will loot it. It will go for corpses and things that have been actively dropped, not things that only spawned there, as far as I know.

I'm backing this: Goblins of Elderstone - The Goblin Tribe Simulator http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=774042010 You know you want to back this project too. It is the goblin thing to do.

Or wait for a sale and play something from your backlog

GOG introduces Two-step login on all current accounts

Are you excited for Monday?

Civ6 or something like that. Some AAA release anyway.

That is DARK, a bloodlines wannabe. Fun art and music. Some nice abilities. At least in the beginning terrible writing.

I enjoyed unlocking all the heroes. Yes, it can be very punishing, and in multiplayer it can be frustrating when the other person runs and opens one more door when you told them that it would be best to just run for the exit And as with many good games, always worth pointing out that it was created by just a handful people (I think the DE team was 5 devs, with some people - like the writer - taking some little bits of time every now and then from Endless Legend to quickly help out when needed).

Man O War revamped the way factions control regions, and added faction relations. Since then basically everyone is at war with everyone - this is warhammer, I guess. Love the new system, since it actually means you do not have all the info every time you look at the map and the world does start coming alive. After a long stretch in Bretonnia, the independent galleon "The Insufferable" returns to the Sea of Claws (because we still needed to get paid for that job in Marienburg). Hearing rumours that Dietershafen had been razed, I decided to sail that way and see what was what. Past Manaan's Teeth things got ugly. And when we got to Hargendorf, the port was under attack by a large orc fleet Was that all of them?
