I have spent the past couple days grinding up a character in the original Everquest (or what is as close as you can get), Project 1999. I love how they clearly tried very hard to make it feel like an authentic DnD world. I roll a halfling, and I start inside this quaint little halfling town...

I am waiting for the turn-based mode to be fully implemented to finish my first-ever complete run of PoE. It was announced when I was in the middle of it so I put it on hold. Turn-based mode is vastly preferable in this game, there is too much going on too fast for RTwP to be the default. So...

I decided to start Neverwinter Nights 2 again. Although the Enhanced Edition is coming out soon, I think the normal game is perfectly fine as-is. Especially with some minor mods to add more armor detail and an armor customization menu. I decided to make an evil character and go through the OC...

Found a 2nd edition Dragonlance boxed set at my local game store. It's quite interesting to go through.

Pickpocketing is fun, but educate me on something a little more barbaric. School me on the Throw metagame. I love this feature, both on tabletop and in BG3. Throw spears, throw random objects, throw your companions, it's always fun to get a little create with projectiles. How do you maximize...

Can't believe I bought this in early access and yet still haven't finished a full playthrough. I have no good reasons for why this is so, I enjoy the game well enough. but when you drop a game this heavy it's hard to pick up from where you left off.

The Warhammer games just keep coming. I like the franchise and especially the lore, so i'm not complaining, but I can't possibly try them all in time. My most recent warhammer games have been: Mechanicus, a tactics RPG using the coolest faction in the series, the Adeptus Mechanicus. Great...

Going through Drakengard will not reveal anything about Neir to you, so if you do so, do it for its own sake.

I haven't had the chance yet, and it's not entirely in my wheelhouse, but I do want to try Neir. I love the fact that the story is a continuation of the last Drakengard ending. I have always been in awe of that game for its blend of traditional fantasy outer skin and completely and utterly...

I lost my primary gaming PC sometime around two years ago, and with it, my ability to access most of my VR titles. Finally a decent program exists to make Steam Deck compatible with PC-VR games. I never believed the people who said the machine couldn't handle it because many VR games require...

That is the biggest strength of this game. Your choices have an observable impact, in the later stages of the game, the various post-game DLC's, and the sequels.

For my dual wielders, especially my more melee-focused rogues, I actually go for strength over cunning while making Dex my main stat, sort of balancing the two lesser stats but preferring strength. My goal is to get it to at least 22-26 as soon as possible. This gives you more variety in weapon...

Yeah, the vr port for most of these games (barring Asgard's Wrath) are PC-VR ports. I use a Quest 3, previously Quest 2. Both are compatible with Steam VR games and can be linked to the PC wirelessly or with a very long cable made for the purpose. I used the cable at first and had very little...

Subnautica fills me with total dread. My kids can't even play it, they get too nervous , but they always encourage me to play it. It's a fantastic sim. I do like to take a peak at my bases or certain underwater spots using my vr set, makes for great setpieces. In terms of gameplay, I find many...

Actually, it is mentioned in personal conversation by Alistair early on. You have to initiate dialogue with him though. Ask him "What happens if we just left?" and he mentions in passing that you are the only ones who can defeat it. He also mentions some other minor details, like how the Joining...

Well, you can't be a normal human hunting darkspawn because only a person who has undergone the gray warden ritual is capable of defeating the archdemon. If a normal human defeats the archdemon, any normal darkspawn can become a vessel for the archdemon to return. There's something about these...

Cunning is indeed boosting your skills like stealing, coercion, etc. It also has its other uses, like boosting certain class abilities (in the bard class especially) or acting as a replacement for strength if you take the perk. Stealing is fun because in this game there are a lot of very...

If you make it all the way in this playthrough, do share how this origin ties into later events in the game, using spoiler tags of course. I am curious and I doubt I will be playing this origin any time soon, my next one is definitely going to be a human noble

I completely agree. I liked my original dwarf character from DAO so much, thanks in large part to the origin and how it tied heavily into the story, that I wanted to play all the way through to Inquisition to see what the ultimate fate of this character was based on my choices. I was satisfied...

Don't underestimate dog. His fast running speed and ability to use Overwhelm makes him one of the best anti-mage tools you have. And some mages will absolutely wreck your party if you don't deal with them quick. He's not your tank, so if he gets caught up use his Howl to stun the group and run...
