Have you considered talking to someone about that

It's 59,99 Euros on Steam which translates to 70USD

This may be the highest price tag I have seen on an early access game. Are they certain they know EA stands for early access in this instance and not EA?

Ghost Master was pretty awesome too though.

Though at least in Overlord 1 you were pretty much the good guy in the end.

I went to the movies yesterday and while I was queuing (wearing mask, keeping distances) the guy behind me struck up conversation. Which basically ended with him explaining to me that he is 27 years old, hasn't worked a day in his life and currently is just lazying about, waiting for his grandmother to die so he can rent out her apartment. But he really thinks young people should pay more attention at school, because waiting for your grandmother to die is boring. And oh, is that a poster of James Dean? He died in a car crash. A Porsche. It was a Porsche right? Of course it was a Porsche - Porsches are cursed after all. Obviously they are cursed, James Dean died in one!

Ok, this looks very interesting:

Troy. Things had been mostly balanced and then one turn AI troops in multiple battles suddenly became super elites. Not the first time, but when one infantry unit armed with clubs holds off three of my units and nearly routs them in the time my other 17 units take out 4 of his... Or when the AI melee units cross a third of the screen in the time it takes my archer hero to hit them once... Something is fishy.

Does the AI in all total war games cheat? Level 1 Tier 1 units suffer almost no damage against a fully buffed mixed army of level 4+ units

Soon our plan will become reality and this will be the unofficial Majesty forum. Then Majesty players far and wide will flock to this sanctuary of quality gaming.

Everyone's reaction to the expansion is "But I thought I knew how to play this game..."

If it is the ancient dragon quest where you have Solarii, if you manage to babysit a Solarii until she gets high level, then the ladies can solo dragons. The thing is getting one to live that long.

I know that feeling.

My old flatmate burns out of architecture once every two years for 18 years now.

Which seems very normal for any design profession. The abnormal thing is that they get paid for the extra day.

I think Atton was Obsidian trying to do something with the archetype that wasn't about licking lamp posts in winter (which would come later). But I feel KotoR tried too hard to be deep and meaningful and ended up on the edge of simple edgyness, with Atton being a good example of that: This is not Carth, it is a dark, gritty adult (Carth).

That can be a tough level. Especially as it can't be solved by spamming Paladins 😛

Does Carth play Majesty? Does Atton? Does Kaidan? Does any RPG companion? Have you considered that when evaluating them?

I also have a strong dislike for Mina Tang.

All of them are whiny because somehow that translates as endearing vulnerability to simulate an intimate relationship with the player.

Kaidan Alenko is a Bioware trope. Kaidan, Alistair, Atton*... all variations of the Carth Onasi pretty boy people wanted to have digital, pretend relationships with and that turned Bioware rpgs from heavily formulaic rpg romps into heavily formulaic dating sims with rpg features. * fully recognising that KotoR2 was Obsidian, not Bioware, but forced to follow the Bioware roadmap

My main problem with Total War: Troy is the reinforcement mechanic. Reinforcements appear immediately at the start of the battle. That's not reinforcements, that is simply two stacks. And garrisons reinforce friendly armies in their province, meaning defenders get free troops. It's a very clumsy way of handling it.

I need to check Star Citizen as well this year. Just seems like too much hassle to even try. Maybe we can get organised and take turns? This year was Raithe's. Next year I check. There probably is a person who could take 2022.

I just think that after Morrowind they realized modders would provide the most content and draw to their games anyway, so they just make a generic sandbox and let them do the rest of the work for free.

Could be worse. You could have been metadigital. Or any of the people who posted A LOT and left the forum before the system was implemented.
