I’m about to finish Phoenix Wright 1 and with it the whole saga (I started my replay with 2), and I’m playing Breath Of Fire IV. The first time was 2 years ago and my phone died mid-playthrough, hopefully this time there will be no issues. I’m playing it on an RG Cube for the portability, the only downside is I can’t fully appreciate the gorgeous sprite work in such a small screen.
Alan Wake 2 is an amazing game, glad I got it. Visually it’s stunning, storytelling is amazing and on all aspects just wow. Never thought they do make a sequel out of Alan Wake.
Replaying Last of us and still loving it. Not much else to say about it.
Unfortunately I’m not that happy about Hogwarts legacy. The beginning was great but after 3 hours, I find the gameplay and story very dull and close to dropping it. It makes me a bit sad, I like Harry Potter in general and was hoping for a great magical game. However, they did the whole world building of Hogwarts very well.
Hogwarts Legacy is very repetitive. I wasn’t able to stick with the witcher-lite combat until the end, although a few in-game seasons passed and I felt pretty close. They did a good job on the school but the grounds and wider landscape are barren.
Finally got into Baldur’s Gate 3, and oh boy! I get what people were saying. I’m INVESTED. I’m going Dark Urge and currently trying to figure out if I wanna be with Karlach or Shadowheart.
I got Far Cry 5 for like $7.50 on sale and have been playing it with a friend, and it’s actually been pretty fun, mostly driving around blowing stuff up with a rocket launcher.
I also got Doom Eternal, which has been more interesting than I expected; I thought it would be mostly just hold-left-click kind of gameplay, but you actually really need to think about managing ammo and positioning and cooldowns and tons of stuff like that. I feel really bad at it but it’s been lots of fun.
I’ve started Celeste last week and damn that game get difficult quick (at least if you try to get all the strawberries^^). Also the Pico8 version is a whole other beast o.O
Also the usual TF2 for me, which now miraculously works on Linux again…
All the deck modding guides make me anxious messing about with the game filesystem. But I would like a decent inventory manager. How easy is it to restore the game and saves if you cock up?
I already downloaded a couple code fixes to reduce crashing, Solstheim rumour fix, DB attack fix, and gender neutral dialogue. Any other must-have mods I can install on an in-progress save?
Morrowind is one of my favorites! Graphic Herbalism is nice, but the DB and Sosltheim fixes are the only necessary ones, atleast for OpenMW.
Have fun! You’ve probably already heard this if you’re aware of the bug fix mods, but if it seems like you’re missing every other attack, check your stamina and make sure you’re using a weapon you’re character has the skills in. A low stamina bar affects every skill check, and that iron dagger in the census office often trips people up if they try using it without taking short blade as a major skill, as an example.
I love Morrowind, but it doesn’t do the best job of walking you through how combat works unless you read the manual, so I thought I’d mention it just in case :).
I’m using a bound spear. I have skills in conjuration and spear. I still miss most attacks though. How am I supposed to have high stamina when I reach enemies if getting to enemies requires walking and thus expending stamina? Should I be taking a rest break every ten steps or guzzling potions?
I just got back from the first difficult Mages Guild duty. I had to recruit a new member and gather dues from some people who live in bumfuck volcanic nowhere. I now hate cliff racers with a passion. On the other hand, I’m level 5 and I’m starting to kill scribs in one hit. I also can’t believe I cleared that entire dwemer dungeon just to find the puzzle box right near the entrance. Plus side, now I’m loaded on dwemer coins. And playing a conjurer was definitely the right move when it came to those ghosts. I’d have been fucked if I were using mundane weapons.
One thing I’m disappointed by is that a minion-based build seems much less viable in Morrowind than Skyrim. Seems you can’t just go all in on conjuration in this one. One thing I like is spears! Spears are the best weapon!
Yeah, resting whenever the stamina bar hits half is generally what I do lol. The Mages Guild definitely throws you to the wolves with that quest, when I did it I failed the speech check and had to fight her.
I’ve never tried a conjuration build, but I definitely remember falling back on my dagger regularly when I played a Dunmer mage. The Mages Guild has an item chest with magika potions you can use freely.
You can also enchant a ring or amulet to conjure, so even if your magic/Intelligence is low you can consistently summon minions if you can afford the cost of the enchantment. A big difference from Skyrim is that enchanted items recharge automatically when you rest.
This makes a build where you carry around summoning rings/amulets to use before every fight not only possible, but incredibly strong from what I’ve heard.
I got P5R on steam sale at lowest price and found out with a jail broken PS4 (which i have) you can convert your save to PC so you don’t have to start over (completed first dungeon on PS4 and dropped it a few years ago)
Can’t stop playing it now, especially with mods that mix up the battle music and one ones that restore the oddly cut content shown in the recently leaked 2015 beta build. (More hangouts and more “M” rated language present)
Sadly, I‘ve been sick, so I couldn’t play for more than a couple minutes at a time AND my Steam Deck decided to go into a boot loop for no reason, black screen, fans spinning, no BIOS access; had to let it run itself dry in the boot loop for 6 hours and when I connected the AC adapter it booted normally as if nothing happened, crazy!
Anyway, I played a little of Frog Detective 2, it‘s a silly, very short, and simple game series that was perfectly suited for my current state of mind.
