D4 Paladin at last with the new expansion, and another class. 

 

Awesome cinematic as always.

Very sneaky from Blizzard, new D4 expansion has 2 new classes, but you get one immediately if you pre-purchase.

Built by the team who brought you Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios unchains its ambitions to bring you an RPG with greater breadth & depth than ever before.

At least, that’s the plan.

It's good to have some self-reflection. Or sarcasm, whichever it is.

Anyway, interesting that divinity.com was up for grabs. You'd think the Vatican owned it, or something.

This is probably my biggest hype trailer of the show. They went wild with the gameplay change. I sort of expected the brother to be the PC in the sequel, but not the gameplay shift.

Solasta2 Early Access in March 2026. Voice cast is quite stacked which makes me a bit sceptical. Unless the story telling gets much much better than the original higher production might not pens them the low budget charm the original had.

What I think happened is they went to a publisher, who said "Oh, you're making a BG3-like game? Have lots of money!"

All we can hope is they can use it effectively.

Not too surprising. That trailer didn't exactly show anything. I'm going to pretend I didn't watch it for a couple years.

[Mamoulian War]

Yeah, we'll see how they will fare with current not the most positive climate for gaming. Some good RPG Star Wars game is long overdue.

Heh, I doubt it. My guess is that they went through a list of common complaints (graphic is crap, VO amatourish, story crap) and attempt to address those 2nd time around. Let's be honest, is still doesn't look like a decent budget production. 

Still, I quite liked how "old school" Solasta1 felt, and I wonder how the sequel with end up. I really didn't care for the demo, while Solasta1 crowdfunding build made me a backer. I just hope that the more interesting aspects of Solasta won't get sanded off in pursuit of nicer presentation.

Disco E doc part 2.

Sadly, there isn't much of anything for me in these latest reveals from the Game Awards. Oh, well. Another year waiting on a good game for me. At least Solasta II is looking good, and I'll eventually get around to trying Avowed.

ToEE on steam is out. It's pretty cheap, base price 9,75€ for me.

Mortismal said they fixed most of the bugs. He think it's base game + mod fixes + some polish.

At first I just couldn't get past the 20+ years old look of the game, and especially how the UIs look and function, but then I learned that it uses 3.5e rules, so I've now added it to my Steam wishlist. For some reason I was certain it was a 2e game.
