Currently and over the past month or so, I've gotten pulled back into World of Warcraft. I wanted to try their new "Season of Discovery", which was interesting to me up to about level 20, but then I got more interested in re-doing Loremaster in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. I found a nice...

I could log into Steam and post mine, but it would be wildly misleading, because of massive hours I spend per year in World of Warcraft and Might and Magic 6-7-8. I've also spent a lot of time this year playing original Baldur's Gate 1 from GoG in offline-backup mode, i.e. directly downloaded...

Thank you all again for all the insightful feedback and suggestions. @Antimatter , I didn't mean to derail this thread topic with a BG3 discussion. I mean, it kind of fits "What I'm playing now" for a lot of people, but I'm not sure if it's really on-topic. Would it be good to maybe split out...

@Antimatter, thank you so much for taking the time to examine my source and to give such a detailed, fair, and balanced response. You've definitely started me on a path to being eventually willing to try the game for myself. It's still a bit pricey for my budget, but it won't always be. (Hello...

@Antimatter , Thank you for taking the time to watch and respond to the video's points. It sounds like a lot of the streamer's problems were bugs that have since been patched, as you say, and that his objections to the end of Act 2 may have come from misreading the situation, or from a...

@Antimatter and @Cahir , Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my concerns. I really appreciate it, and I will think about what you've both said. The source for my spoiler information was this video: He says he got this impossible "Sophie's Choice" at the end of act two, and that he...

Okay, so I recently got into a huge Star Wars mood, and into watching "Rebels" so I can better appreciate the new "Ashoka" series. I started watching Episode One, and almost immediately realized, "Oh, this whole series is a direct continuation of Rebels. I should go watch that first so I can...

If you own EE through GoG, you can play the original game that way without any troubleshooting. It works "right out of the box". The original is hidden behind some kind of code you have to input. Maybe someone more familiar with it can post the exact procedure to unlock it. I never had to do...

I've recently started giving Lord of the Rings Online a try. I've been pleasantly surprised. It has beautiful environments and engaging gameplay that includes a sliding difficulty option from 0-10. I've been trying my first experience at level 3. There's a bard class called the "minstrel", and...

The numbers from the roller program made me suspicious of the quality of the RNG, until I looked up that 3 6-sided dice can produce 216 outcomes. Only 1 out the 216 is an 18. Only 3 out of the 216 are 17's. The highest probabilities are in fact concentrated to the middle numbers. Check out a...

I don't know what European conventions are, but here in the Southeast U.S., a golf clap is usually used in a sarcastic context, such as after someone has a spectacular accident or pitfall. It says "Bravo, epic fail there." But when I see those hands on the forum, I just think it means...

@Urdnot_Wrex , I think your reply is beautifully put. I also thought of suggesting that a person shouldn't force him or herself to finish a game that's no fun or not being enjoyed, but I couldn't think of a way to say it that wouldn't come across as negative or not addressing the question that...

@Cahir I need to watch that show again. It was a favorite of mine during the '90's. The Centauri, the Narn, and the Minbari are truly fascinating sci-fi cultures, the characters are memorable, and the world-building is top notch. Walter Koenig as a corrupt psi-cop for the win. :)

I like a lot of the ones mentioned here, so I'll give a shout out to the world of Enroth, which hasn't been mentioned. It's got cool politics via the succession war between Roland and Archibald, and lots of faction interplay. A lot of it is to give story underpinnings to the strategy series...

@m7600 , I've seen that one. It made the rounds among my colleagues on Facebook a while back. It's a hilariously brilliant meme for musicians. Glad to see it posted here.

I mentioned it in another thread, but lately I've been really into Star Wars: The Old Republic. It is an MMO version of Star Wars that has origin stories like Dragon Age: Origins, and a very generous free-to-play option. Combat is near story-mode level of non-difficulty for the solo portion of...

I'm curious whether the blocking of the deal in the UK means it won't happen in the US either. Was it an all-or-nothing deal?

I almost never finish any game. I like games that feel completely open-ended, or at least so big that I can get my fill without ever reaching the actual end. That includes Baldur's Gate. I haven't fought Melissan in ToB for more than a decade now, yet I've started new characters in BG1...

I have another suggestion that will make this new thread much more readable as it lengthens. Please spoiler tag most of the screenshots. What is going to happen if you don't is that the thread will go nuts jumping around trying to download all the screenshots on the user end every time it's...

Is "Zork" by any chance a play on "Vork" from "The Guild"? (I highly recommend watching it to anybody who hasn't.)
