Melusina Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Which to play: Pathfinder Kingmaker - kingdom managment is yikes, but I think it's best option presented Baldur's Gate 2 - only finished SoA and want again Octopath Traveler - too much grind The Witcher 3 - recently reached Bloody Baron and tons of quests and feel like I'm jumping in too soon Drakensang the Dark Eye - run in windowed mode, but like to play charlatan Divinity OS 2 - same as witcher, recently almost finished the game and gave up everything I own on steam, only witcher 3 and Bg2 I own both steam and gog. I don't need purchase help. I need to concentrate on one or two, but I tend to play a little bit of everything, resulting in repeating the beginning over and over.

Melusina, if you're close to beating Divinity 2 and still consider it an option then I'd suggest just plowing through. You can cross it off your list, not feel like you've wasted all that time and also have bragging rights that you're in the top 10% of nerdkind. Also, if you go back to it much later you'll probably end up having to start over because it's hard to remember stratergies and character builds, not to mention the finer points of the story when you've let a year or two pass.

That doesn't sound crazy to me at all. I probably finish about 10% of the games I start in a year. Every once in awhile I'll go back and finish something, but usually I lose interest or get distracted by something else. It really only takes one busy week to completely derail a playthrough of a game for me. It's also why I tend to stick to easy difficulties on most types of games, because it is already hard enough to return to a game after a bit of time away without also having to relearn the best strategies. But yeah, life is too short to trudge through a game after I lose my enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, 10% of all gamers worldwide barely ever finish the games they buy? That blows my mind, and arguably what a waste of money the videogames industry is if they're constantly pouring millions and years of development into content most people will never even see.

My bad, I thought you were within touching distance of the end and since the game was on the list were just burned out or stuck or something. I hope you get more out of the next one.

Hurlshort Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 How many games are really designed to be finished, though? Sports games and online shooters might have a campaign, but it is secondary to the main reason people buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 4 hours ago, Serrano said: That said, 10% of all gamers worldwide barely ever finish the games they buy? These days all you have to do is look at the trophies listings of console or PC games. The ones that you tend to get just from going through the game/doing main quests, not the super hard optional ones. Like "reached chapt. 6" or "killed so and so boss." The farther into the questline you get, the more percentage completed drops, and drops, and drops. But yeah, I used to finish (or at least get 90% or so) most games I bought, but I don't buy many per year usually. Now I'm lucky if I get 25% in. “Things are as they are.

Which makes me wonder why should I continue DOS2 - I do not find combat particular good, so it's personally on my backlog. 1 https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33102093/ - Picky Gamer Girl!

Lorfean Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I am not familiar with Octopath Traveler but, from that list, if you hadn't already played it I would suggest BG2... Actually, I'll still suggest it since it seems you haven't played ToB yet and a full BG2 + ToB playthrough is IMO a must for any CRPG fan. I really liked the first chapter of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but ran completely out of steam after I unlocked the kingdom management system. I might come back to it later and get over the hump, so to speak, but IMO the game would've been better off without it and is therefore lower on my recommendations list. The Witcher 3 is beautiful and has some good side quests (The Bloody Baron is a great example) but IMO the combat is boring, the main story structure is weak, and the world design suffers from "clear all PoI's in this area, then move on to the next and repeat" syndrome -- the first treasure you find under a bridge, the first monster nest you blow up, the first prisoner you free, the first time a group of villagers show up to populate a location you've "cleaned up"... All very cool. The 10th time though? Not so much. And it makes exploring the world predictable, and ultimately boring.

Gizmo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Have you a BG1 save game to import into BG2? Black Isle has an interesting [possibly Fallout related] easter egg in the Baldur's series... but it's split across all three games; BG1, BG2, BG2:Throne of Bhaal. Spoiler You must have the Golden Pantaloons from BG1 when you reach Throne of Bhaal. Spoiler You must also have the Silver Pantaloons and Bronze Pantalettes Power armor, plus fire [rocket] launcher and energy weapon.https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Metal_Unit Edited January 9, 2020 by Gizmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. About that... "Smiling when threatened and downright ecstatic when punched, Khelgar is most at home in a storm of fists and insults. Khelgar’s weathered face, long dark beard and massive upper body would give would likely give him muscular good looks had he not built a collection of cuts, bruises and missing teeth on his face from countless brawls."
