melkathi Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'd have thought you would be more into Sid Meyer's Pirates, where you get to dance with governors' daughters in a Fable-like mini game. I hated that. May have to do with having had a huge fight with my dance partner just before I played that. 1 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Bartimaeus Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Outer Wilds. Finished it, kind of a lame ending, but I guess I'm not sure where they could've gone exactly that would've been better - pretty good game overall, exploring new stuff like that is fun. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

It did not run smoothly on Windows 10 for me, there was some weird graphical glitch, but I remember googling some workaround that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanisatha Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Okay, very helpful feedback guys. Going further, I have accounts in both Steam and GOG, but all my games are in Steam and none in GOG. And I like having everything in one place. So, what are the odds of either of those games coming to Steam in the foreseable future? In fact, anyone know why they are not currently in Steam? It would be especially awesome if someone from Obsidian happens to see this and provides a response re. NwN2 and Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
