I am Moses, again.  (borked map generation water physics)

I bought an island and built a home on it.

The 2nd floor/roof are living and workshops. The ground floor is defensive space (even tho I have nothing to defend against - it's habitual - hey, maybe I'll feel like turning the z's on for kicks/to test...probably not).  Below ground, floor by floor, are various oddball rooms. And of course, unlike how most games ignore it, I am a human, so I need a bathroom.

Fashionrising: The Saga Continues

Eiyuden Chornicles: Rising. This game is beautiful.

It's time for my biennial attempt to play a MMO. Since this is a terrible idea, I figured I might as well double up on the bad ideas and play a MMO on a console. With that in mind I looked into what MMO I can play on xXxBOxXx that doesn't completely suck, which narrowed things down to 3 choices: 1) Black Desert 2) Elder Scrolls Online 3) Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis

Choice 1 is a no go, I may be crazy but I'm not crazy enough to try to get into a Korean grindfest MMO. That leaves choices 2 & 3. I decided to go with choice 3 since I loved the Phantasy Star games and SEGA will never make another single player PS game because we can't have nice things. So this is the closest I'll ever get to Phantasy Star 5.

I decided to go with a Bayonetta-esque sexy librarian look and I named her Eunice, because why wouldn't I?

For a 10 year old MMO it looks relatively good. I'm sure it's gotten several graphical upgrades along the way. Also, Eunice does not skip leg day, she throws some serious plates on the squat rack.

I'm playing a gunner so that I can live out my John Woo fantasies.

Already have. I did this exact experiment with LotRO a few years back.

But were you playing as a sexy librarian dwarf? Beards make great bookmarks.

Got a quest to capture a Sailor Moon wannabe that was terrorizing people in the mines. I think she got the wrong idea of how to be a magical girl.

 

Cyberpunk '77, street kid, Nomad Ending. Fun ride!
Looking forward to doing a psycho-Corpo run as female V, with the independent ending.

It's pretty much Eww: The Video Game.

I'm liking it so far.

I probably won't post any more images or videos so as not to spoil any more gross and weird stuff further into the game. It's not scary so far, but it's most certainly disturbing. I guess that's still Halloween appropriate (?)

I wanted to take some combat screen  shots from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Sadly, the newly patched in photo mode doesn't work in combat. For being an isometric, party based rpg, the small scale of figures etc. the graphics are actually pretty nice. No doubt that Ember (the elven witch in my party) is wielding a fire themed staff and Sosiel the cleric riding a boar is wielding a weapon with some side effects besides physical damage 😁  Only way later did I remember that I can switch between turn based and real time combat at any time. Maybe the photo mode works in real time 🤔

 

Maybe Hell isn't such a bad place to go...  I mean, it does seem to have its perks 😂

Edit: Using the new photo mode, you can move the camera around, hide the game UI, zoom in a lot closer and if feeling like it, add effects like frames, making it look like vintage photos or a painted canvas etc. I still need to play around with those

It does. If you press "esc" at the right time, you can get some pretty interesting results:

Poor Minagho. The Knight Commander can be such a headache!

Photo mode is weird.

...during chr. creation, you start with 1 pt in each attribute (re-assignable) and some extra - there are none for leveling up or (I think) on gear either. Choose wisely? Hm. So....strength? agility? I don't need any of that.

Not sure what max spell summon count is yet. I have two here early on. I think it might depend on mana available/skill pts + gear

Anyway, short take - Gedonia is not "deep" and its combat is clunky (if you're no agility/strength, bow seems better than melee early on by far) but I'm finding it light fun/absorbing enough. I could see getting rather absorbed with it once you get past any clunkiness.
