It is concerning that no one has bothered to respond.

I'm still around. In fact, this forum is the only game developer forum I still frequent.

So I finally got around to viewing several gameplay YouTube streams of Starfield, and determined that it is way too much a shooter game with its combat for me to be able to handle. Even worse, the ship combat is also very shooter-ish. Now I'm wondering if this is also going to be the case with The Outer Worlds 2. Does TOW2 also feature very shooter-style combat? Is its combat accessible for someone like me who's never ever played a shooter game and has no interest in shooter games?

The only thing that would make a BG1&2 remake exciting and attractive to me is the one thing they can't/won't do to those games, which is ditch 2e mechanics. Without that, I just don't see the point.

Maybe that's because the kitty is the guy's summoned familiar! 😸

Thanks you guys!!

As much as I loved TW3, I'll end up passing on this DLC. I have the the first two DLCs but I quit playing in the middle of the first DLC because I couldn't get past the boss in that quest with the burning mansion/estate. That combat proved too difficult and frustrating for me even on the lowest settings. I need a mod that allows for insta-kills of enemies so I can proceed with my game.

Perhaps I'll wait until the DLC is released and then decide.

Yes, this I agree with you. I also don't care for DnD mechanics, for me because I find that it relies too much on random chance and does not give the player's character creation and advancement choices the centrality they deserve in how characters function. And also interestingly, my favorite DnD character has always been the dual-wielding fighter/rogue multiclass. 😀 Solasta is okay. I played and then replayed it once, and got my money's worth from it (including the expansion). But I doubt I'll want to replay it again. Hopefully, Solasta II will be significantly improved, especially in its character development and roleplaying aspects.

My concern with this game is bugs, polish, and balance issues, as these are what typically get ironed out in patches delivered during the first several months after a game's release. And we don't have that with this game. 😟

Personally for you, sure. But I have no doubt whatsoever that BG3 being the huge financial success it was has everything to do with it being a DnD game (plus carrying the Baldur's Gate name). DnD is huge these days, and most casual gamers like playing games with familiar systems and mechanics.

Yeah, same for me. I always keep my Tdap vaccince up-to-date because I do a lot of gardening and constantly get scratches and bruises, especially now as I get older.

I removed Greedfall 2 from my Steam wishlist after Spiders was shut down by Nacon.

Just began playing Black Geyser: Courier of Darkness. Definitely very old-school, which I like very much. Poor graphics and character models are obviously a weak point of the game, which may turn off some contemporary gamers. But for me, I can live with it in exchange for all the positives of an old-school cRPG. Just finished the tutorial first chapter and am now in the second chapter. More details to follow as I progress. Any thoughts from those of you who've already finished the game?

Love Phil Collins and his drums riffs. This is one of his best. He was finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame recently.
