What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle

[LadyCrimson]

Enshrouded:  Well, I'll be dipped in .... I was making new chrs/saves/testing and realized that each save, even offline/SP, is still like creating a separate world "instance" of the game - which you can then enter/visit with any other character you create.  Meaning you could take chr. #2 and enter chr #1's save/world and grab anything out of chests. leave and go back into chr #2's world/save.  High level tools, gear, big storage boxes, working workstations, whatever.

Keeping that join-server-like feature as part of offline/SP is nuts. Talk about sandbox-replay shortcuts.  So that gives Enshrouded a few extra bonus points until a possible full creative mode.

I think I'm lacking the snow biome.  I'm not sure I care. I'm almost current max-clvl already, and the progression of shroud and dungeons are becoming more aggravating (platforming jumps, maze-likes, getting constantly lost/turned around, ugh). Plus I don't need snow-themed furniture, haha.   My fave biome so far is the 2nd one (kind of a redwood/forest rainy biome) and it's probably the only one I'd want to base in, anyway.

I assume snow is on the development plan, since the game isn't even officially version 1 yet. I haven't even reached the water biome yet.

It's already in the game. I've seen ppl on forums talk about it. It's mountains I guess.
I've been focusing on exploring and seeing what one can do with building blocks (no gravity/structural integrity considerations, can "float" bases, like in NMS).  I still haven't even tamed a cat/animal.  Just like in real life these days, I don't really want to take care of one.

Edit: I went without the larger backpacks for ages because that swamp FT spire annoyed me - I kept falling with those bouncy pads. Later I finally tried chopping a stairway into a tree and got to the top that way. I hated that swamp area.

My biggest issue is altitis and worlditis. Like, I keep starting new characters on new worlds with new server rules. I'm an expert on the first 10 hours of the game.

With the way melee animations work, I haven't had alt-itis like I do in some games. I've tried melee a few times and once I melee-thrust myself off a cliff. Technically I think using the staff to cast spells does the same forward/stuck in an elongated animation movement but since you cast it from afar it doesn't bother me.  I might try the bows later. Of course, I'm still using mostly the easy settings, because after the first 20 or so hours,  I'm just trying to rush to unlock stuff. Having to find/loot block varieties in "random" places is so annoying.  Loot a chest, bang, "true sandstone fancy block discovered."  Pffft.
