What are you Playing Now? - Back to the Grind
kanisatha replied to majestic's topic in Computer and Console
I decided to change up from playing RPGs to playing city builder survival game: Patron. I had tried playing this game when it first came out, but found it not very interesting or fun. Now, more than a year later and with many changes and upgrades, the game is pretty good. I've been playing for a few days and have not yet lost interest. As always with this type of game, I know I will start losing interest once my city gets really big and exponentially harder to manage. But for now in its early stages, the game is pretty addictive and fun. -

But I'm not asking for them to be full-blown companions, as you suggest. I simply don't want to have to share them with/have them be used by some online stranger. -

One of my favorites from back in the eighties which I recently heard for the first time in 35 years! LOVE her voice! -
The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
kanisatha replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
Does anyone here still watch network TV? If so, any thoughts on the new CBS drama Tracker? It's my favorite new show (well, my *only* new show). I'm quite amazed there is even one new drama on TV these days that has me so hooked. -

But surely all of this is possible to do with companions without those companions having to be shared with other players. -

Did you mean Realms Beyond? Because Black Geyser is very much alive, and recently had a successful KS for its DLC due later this year. -

Sorry to disappoint, but this game is vaporware. The devs absconded with the KS funds, and with bankruptcy and a legal war between the two main devs. The project is dead and we won't be getting the finished product. If TB is acceptable, these are the current old-school indie cRPGs I would suggest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1159090/Zoria_Age_of_Shattering/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1478850/Vendir_Plague_of_Lies/ This one is RTwP, but not quite a cRPG; more a cross between cRPG and ARPG: https://store.steampowered.com/app/945770/Dark_Envoy/ -

Well, unless the soul happens to be that of Gen. Blunt, for whom I was not too sympathetic. Plus that halfling scholar-woman is going to be researching interplanar travel without gates, so there's my rationalization. Yeah, I even save-scummed to get the achievements for elevating each of the five clan leaders to Speaker. -

Haha. I saved and did both to get both achievements. For someone staying behind I also left my PC behind <sob> -

I think ( I may be wrong) the gap between you and Monty is that you are talking about all RPGs whereas Monty is being limited to classic, old-school cRPGs. I also used to limit myself that way, but eventually decided I wasn't going to get too many of those old-school cRPGs without TB combat nowadays. So now I have embraced ARPGs up to a point. I still won't do games that are pure dungeon-crawlers or pure hack-n-slash. They still have to be story-rich, character-development-rich, and roleplaying-rich. It is interesting that given the choice of expanding to ARPGs versus accepting cRPGs with TB combat, I am very much more accepting of the former over the latter. -

Finally completed my Solasta: Palace of Ice run. Overall I liked the game very much. The only issue was that because I was using the big UB mod for the game in which I had set allowing the XP cap to go above the game's 16 levels, I ended up being rather over-leveled at the end (level 18), which made the final battles a bit too easy. But that's my bad. The DLC had a very interesting story all the way through to the end, and I actually ended up caring about at least some of the NPCs I interacted with in the game. Now I have to figure out what to play next. I'm still waiting on a good sale price to buy my new gaming computer (with a 14th-gen i9 processor and the RTX 4090 GPU), so I cannot yet buy the "big" games like CP2077 or Starfield. -

I looked at this game, and do like a lot about it. But I draw a firm line against their pawns concept, specifically the idea of sharing pawns with other people. That is a very hard 'no' for me. -

I am completely in agreement with you on this question. Your game preferences are exactly mine as well, and I also am very unhappy, even angry, that I'm not getting any games that fit those preferences.
