Wartales can apparently be very dark even in situations it doesn't actively try to

No mod. You can buy a barber set to give to prisoners to increase loyalty. It basically let's you alter their appearance a bit (hair, facial hair). The concept is that you have male prisoners and you let them shave, showing them you trust them with a small blade.

Seriously, you people could have warned me that this was THAT kind of game

I asked Duck Duck Go who Siruby is, and it replied she was the cyborg protagonist of this game: Transiruby, available on Steam, Switch, Xbox, Playstation But not GOG?

Let Paradox go into book publishing and you'll see the paragraphs added to pages as characters and locations in the story become DLC.

Yeah, that is the argument for buying it. The Avalanche team is not at fault and definitely poured a lot of love into it.

@Hawke64 Agreed on the IP owner. Definitely a good reason to avoid anything related to the IP. Fable... I played one of those games. It may have been 2. I finished it, but I played it the same way I played Skyrim - set up homes and adopt as many orphans as I could. Like Skyrim, I found the game had nothing else to offer.

I'm not a big HP fan. But I like the idea of an immersive magical world. It looks like great escapism.

I would like to play Hogwarts Legacy, but my PC can't really run it

And poor Chris does not have Juana Villalobbos doing News Flashes about his unhappy accidents?

From what I understand, you also missed the best gun in the game: the pinata launcher.

Saints Row side activities are hit and miss. Mind, I felt that way about side activities in previous games as well, and in other games of this type. I appreciate that in this game they tried to flesh them out. They did not do their best at integrating them. There is so much to do, and repeatedly, the main story is basically over, and you are still in the side activity drudgery. I completed my criminal empire, built the Saints Tower and uninstalled. Getting the skyscraper should feel awesome, not "good, I can uninstall now". It is unfortunate that the tedium resulting from "too much" side activity can overshadow the effort put in by the writing team to make the activities interesting compared to SR3 for example. Here rampages have a point - you demonstrate the destructive capability of weapons to buyers on the black market. Shady Oaks, the insurance scam, has well written dialogue which elevates is over the exact same activity in previous games. A couple of questlines, Eurekabator, Let's Pretend, Laundromat, are all well thought out. On the other hand, while I appreciate the Wages of Fear reference of Bright Future, doing that 12 times? Ugh. Similarly, grabbing things for Wuzyers Repo again and again is tedious and not that different from Choplifting - they could have cut half the missions from those two and merged them. And of course, by the time you get to Let's Pretend or First Strike Dojo, things like Pony Express and Wingsuit Saboteur may have tired you out. I 100%ed the base game. But in the end I looked up locations online.

The publisher should hire me as a consultant then. By having out-of-game mega-transactions, they can circumvent all the negative reviews over in-game micro-transactions. And by making it an elvish language course, they can probably get into a literacy program and have 0 expenses.

Does your character learn elvish at some point or do you as the player have to learn elvish, with Capcom offering two week intensive elvish language courses?

So will you share with the rest of us?

In school, when I was writing my own RPG setting (as one does as a 16 year old), I had a kingdom where they let the military bureaucracy run everything, and the first thing they did was rename all villages for efficiency. They would have approved of Checkpoint Rest Town.

Mind you, Malcador ignored you first. We may need to look into this. Stand against Wormy-bullying.

Got to let he die once, find out who her father is, then turn him against Halbeck for his daughter's death. I never find that dossier though.

I'll give people some time. Of some things are still left over after that, I'll grab a key of something.

So, the moral of the story: both Raithe and I ignore Wormy

Posted that yesterday in the GOG discussion. Let's see if people are more interested when you post it. We can make it a popularity contest!

Watching this:

Next in UN Security Council votes: The US votes in favour of a permanent ceasefire but claims the vote doesn't actually count because the ambassador had her fingers crossed behind her back.

You lasted the whole episode? I couldn't. I am weak It was my last attempt at watching anything Starwars.

Obviously feel free to ignore Malaka Miller, that man couldn't say an honest word to save his life. It is interesting to see the two juxtaposed like this.
