Erwin van der Poel Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just replayed Tyranny, Pillars and a whole bunch of other epic games. But what I want to play the most for the is a new Forgotten Realms adventure! NWN 3 or a remake of NWN 2 would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Still mucking about in 7 Days. You can build a gyrocopter now ... which looks cool but is about as fly-controllable as the cars in Cyberpunk. Well, worse, actually, but...that 4x4 jeep/truck is the best thing in the game now, outside of walking, which as always I still generally prefer to do. I guess at this point, overall I'd say A19 is close to my fave version of the game. It used to be the one I started with years ago (A10) but now it's A19. At least for my admittedly not-normal, idiosyncratic use of the game. A10 to maybe A12 is still the times where I liked the zombie/combat action tho. Digging zombies turning my carefully cultivated yards and buildings into random swiss cheese is too aggravating and sleeper zombies are stupid. If you have the 7 Day horde on, ya gotta have two bases - your main "pretty" one, and the zombie-fightin' one. Edited February 23, 2021 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

MedicineDan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm early in my "hard" difficulty of Wasteland 3. Still easy, but there have been a couple of tough fights. I'm still more RPG centered rather than specced for combat. Great game, flaws and all. "Not for the sake of much time..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went Barbarian to start, but was looking at the White Knight Mastery Sets and they look pretty good. Edit: So far I will mention that my Barbarian builds usually when set to challenge mode go in, wipe a bunch of enemies out, then get downed ... trying to figure out how to make the build with better damage absorption, I mean the dancing clowns really did a number on it ... my Hero Irene the Martial Artist build still might be the best tank and heaviest damage dealer.

melkathi Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I am playing Barbarian for the laughs, but I think White Knight will be more survivable.

ComradeYellow Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Metro Last Light. They are a bit harsh on the Red's but all-in-all a great game. Metro series deserves far more credit than it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Raging Loop The best under the radar visual novel I've yet seen. At least under my radar. Maybe it's too recent compared to all the classics I'm still catching up to, but it's pretty great. It's about a guy who gets trapped in a time loop in a village that's playing a real life version of the Werewolf party game.

Also, try Exodus, it's really good! Perhaps not as good w/o Ray Tracing but the game itself is solid and purty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Advantage of a Lightening Draki: it is purple - also it unlocks Lightening Sac Mastery which I do not have (though do not intend to use). Advantage of Rock Draki: it unlocks Natural Recovery which Anne could use to auto-heal herself (though if she takes that much damage she usually just dies). Advantage of Venom Draki: it uses Water magic which I don't have. Advantage of Dark Draki: it causes Fear, which could lead opponents to run and trigger reaction attacks and traps. Also it unlocks Great Morale Mastery which I don't have (though probably wouldn't use). Disadvantage of all of them: I have gotten a couple of legendary beasts and White Cloud is nearing max level and so far has been super effective. So do I really need a dragon or four? (Obviously I'll get four. I have a second egg already).

LadyCrimson Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Was playing 7 Days for a few hours when my PC suddenly rebooted all on its own. Just, bam, everything goes black and reboots. Luckily the game is the type with no manual saving but autosaves (like it's "online") every few seconds or something. But now I'm paranoid. I've played it for 5ish hours in a row several times recently, nothing happened. Wasn't over-heating/no symptoms beforehand. I can only guess I hit some random game bug? Or because I hadn't rebooted the PC in a few weeks? Or... *scratches head* ... well I don't feel like troubleshooting. If it doesn't happen again I won't worry about it.
