I like it. Roll with the consequences of your actions, be they accidental or not, but I can see how that can be frustrating for some

As a Brit, the analogy I’ve always enjoyed is that living in Canada vs the USA is like owning a nice apartment above a crack den. Although, I can’t speak to the validity of said statement.

Yeah, tanking a district makes that area harder and doesnt feel great; however, if you don’t kill any of them, the combat is really hard because you’re under levelled. So you have to make moral judgements and choose who is “best” to kill.

I quite like that her romance story is an inversion of the typical typical Mass Effect, sex is the prize, type story. She’ll jump you with little effort. you get closer and she wants to fight you, but the real pay off is when she let’s her guard down and allows herself to be tender and be loved. It’s quite lovely.

That’s just the campaign. They’ll slap an 8/10 on the multiplayer and call it a day. It’ll sell gang busters again, then when they do the same thing again next year, no-one will bat an eye.

And yet here you are trying your hardest

That still can’t inform you properly on how a game ‘feels’ to play. I’m very tempted by Alan Wake 2, but having bounced off many other similar games because of how they control has me pining for a demo. I’ll not be dropping 50 quid without being able to try it first

That’s awesome. I’m at the tail end of my first playthrough, but I’m already thinking about and all druid run with Halsin, Jaheira, Tav, and a respecced origin. I think druid is flexible enough to pull it off. How are you finding system shock, then? I never played it originally but have played many of its ‘spiritual sequels’ in terms of immersive sims. I was tempted to harken back when the remake came out but never bit the bullet.

Baldur’s Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It’s quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I’ve got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it’s quite short so maybe I’ll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

I’ve just dipped my toes into Darktide on xbox gamepass. I love the visceral, impactful feel to melee combat so far. I have been playing with one friend so have come afoul of the lack of communication with others that don’t chat, but so far have found it to be acceptably stable in terms of gameplay

Very similar here. I’m also a druid and was partying with Karlach (barb/fighter), Astarion (rogue/ranger), and Gale (evocation). But i switched out Gale for Shadowheart (light cleric) at the same point as you and haven’t looked back. Having Wyll would’ve been better as I had noone with decent Charisma.

I really should respec out of Moon druid to land or something because its been incredibly disappointing and without Shadowheart I was just playing support and CC, but I just want to wild shape dammit!

Shovel. She’s chaotic evil through and through, and I love her. She just wants to murderize and is bored with anything else (except arson). Hearing her maniacally shout “it’s fisting time!” and “I’m gonna eat your babies!” Is still making me chuckle into act 3.

No. Shovel is only interested in murderizing, and I love her for it.

I enjoyed the demo but I do hope they tweaked a few things. I hear they made the dodge more viable which should make it a much smoother experience

It’s like reading dystopian sci-fi

Thanks!

And I believe there are more players than ever right now due to the event. P.s. is there a fedi Hunt community? I’ve not seen one yet
