    The Witcher series

    I think that's a good point. I can only read English, but I've seen plenty of foreign movies and their American remakes. One in particular that comes to mind is "Låt den rätte komma in" (Swedish) versus "Let Me In" (American). Despite being American, I connected more with the Swedish one in that...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    August 13, 1885 I had a horrible dream that I finished our expedition to the mines and then went to Ashbury to find the Master of Firearms for training. While I did ultimately receive the training, I also came across the body of a dog that appeared to have been kicked to death. I felt pity for...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    I tried to grind on and play through, but my conscience got the better of me. Fortunately, a massive tech issue shut me down at work yesterday, so I started a new game to see how far I could get (no faffing around and just running through what I've run through already). I actually managed to get...

    Tres Generaciones: A Fallout Saga

    I'll have to watch this when I'm not on mobile. I keep meaning to get back to this run, too. I think I'll add this to the list after Arcanum, Dragon Age: Origins, and the first Witcher game.:)

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    I think it's definitely a meta thing, or just obscene luck to happen across that location (which is a little out of the way) first thing. I'm trying not to spoil myself with the wiki (just looking up things like basic mechanics, stats of crafted items, and only names/locations/alignment of...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    I am so pissed off at myself right now. Long story short, I went to Ashbury for the firearms master and figured I'd pick up Dogmeat Worthless Mutt while I was there. I'm not sure what happened. I think you need to make a beeline for the dog right when you get off the train because I wandered...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    January 9, 1886 I have finally found the owner of this blasted ring but this only marks the beginning of this business and not the end. The owner of the ring is none other than Gilbert Bates. Even more outlandish, the “gnome” who passed it to me was allegedly a Dwarf who shaved his beard as...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    October 24, 1885 It took longer than I thought to sort out the issues with the Shrouded Hills mine. However, it was worth the time to save such a valuable place. I can only hope the humans have learned from their mistakes and will treat it better in the future. While in Tarant, I met Magnus...

    What's the last game you've finished?

    This is also what I do for my play reports. I draft in CherryTree, copypaste, and then format.

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    March 9, 1885 I have cobbled together a rather unusual band of associates. Virgil, the human priest, is still in my company. In the village near the crash site, we picked up Sogg Mead Mug the half-ogre at the Shrouded Hills Inn. Then, in the dying city of Dernholm, Jayne the elf healer joined...

    Games you're looking forward to

    I almost went in for the first Underrail game. I like a rocky ride, but everything I've read indicated that it was absolutely brutal and unforgiving. More power to them, though. Even if it's too rich for my blood, we need more games like that to create an experience that's more than glorified IF.

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    January 7, 1885 I had barely pulled myself from the rubble of the crash when I was approached by a priest. This human, Virgil, seemed to believe I was the reincarnation of some holy elf. How preposterous! That alone made me doubt looking towards human ingenuity for my clan's salvation. He...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    Tiernon Thunder Struck Dwarf with Miracle Surgery Starting stats: (ST 6 CN 4 DX 4 BE 8 IN 11 WP 8 PE 13 CH 10) adding in Magnus' gauntlets, two charged rings, eye gear and gypsy's blessing: (ST 7 CN 5 DX 10 BE 8 IN 11 WP 8 PE 15 CH 11) still needs ST+4, IN+8, CH+9 by end game (21 CP total)...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    I sussed this out and also read some non-spoiler builds which gave me a good picture of the magic side of things. I have to laugh about how a starting spell for a magic user is the god move whereas tech really needs a lot of finesse. I'm less worried about XP since you can "get there" eventually...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    April 27, 1885 We have arrived in Tarant, but too late to meet Virgil's mentor, Joachim. I was in this city once as a small child, but I had not my sight at the time. By the sounds and smells, I imagined it was a much more developed place. However, it does have some rough edges and we must be...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    Thanks, but I actually think I've already screwed this one up. I'm mathing it out right now. I really think magic is easy mode and tech is hard mode. I'm not complaining, though. I'm just surprised at all the planning and preparation needed for a tech build. I underestimated this game by a fair...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    March 7, 1885 It seems I have found a home, of sorts, at least for now. I secured permanent lodgings in the province of Black Root in exchange for helping out the local innkeeper. The village is quaint and comfortable. I feel guilty to say my accommodations here are more comfortable than those...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    January 7, 1885 I am exhausted and my nerves are frayed from the crash. The addled priest, Virgil, who thinks I'm the reincarnation of some long dead elf, only makes the experience more surreal. Still, he's a formidable escort and I am in dangerous territory. Somehow, his church and the...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    Surely you know the Faraday name? As in "Farady's Life Restorative"? Invented by Sarah Faraday, of the Caladon Faradays, this revolutionary cure for death itself brought the family great fame and near unimaginable wealth. Tragedy later struck the family when their only child, Michelle...

    Thunderstruck! Blind playthrough of Arcanum

    Wait, a case can be made for a human PC. The Dwarf's tech bonus is not really that significant. Plus, their stat adjustments take two points from stats I need and gives only one point to a useful stat. Additionally, if I'm keeping Magnus and letting him keep his gauntlets, that's one less...
