So, my own unanswered question at this point is "Whatever happened to that promise we got way back that there would be good aligned origin companions?" While I would enjoy seeing Jaheira and Minsc again, I feel strong distaste for the cast of companions introduced, and it looks to me like...

@Antimatter , since you brought up Might and Magic 7, I think it has the most nuanced version of evil alignment I've ever seen in a game in the form of Archibald. If you're on the Light path, there's a point he appears to you underground and offers you a blaster and a chance to switch sides. His...

Personally, I can't get into RTS because I don't like the time pressure that I would guess is precisely one of the main things its fans *do* like about it. I want to relax while I read tooltips and menus, and make decisions. Turn-based strategy gives me that. The thought that the computer is...

For me it goes back to my high school D&D group, or really much further back than that. I was raised by an alcoholic/heroin addicted mother, and without going into unwanted and overshared personal detail, I suffered from all the emotional problems and difficulties you might expect from that. So...

I'm revisiting Grim Dawn currently. I've never played a caster in that before (my last character was a sword and board tank type using Oathkeeper mastery), so this time I'm playing a wizard type using Arcanist mastery. I'm trying for a "Panetti's Replicating Missile" build. That spell seems to...

I experienced 4th edition in a video game when I played the Neverwinter MMO. I thought it was - just okay. I didn't hate it. But it was definitely my least favorite edition, with 5th coming in just ahead. Like a lot of people, I absolutely hated what they did to the lore (Spellplague? So many of...

I think this is especially true for MMO's, but it can be just as true for single player games paired with a good forum. I think most of us here have shared screenshots and stories from documented runs together before, and we've reacted, commented, and taken advice and encouragement from each...

Lately I've been really into MMO's. I took a break from Elder Scrolls: Online and gave Final Fantasy XIV another shot. Right now I'm still into that. I finally finished "A Realm Reborn" and was amazed at the quality of the story presented. It's not going to win any literary awards of course, but...

While I'll try to be more sensitive to this issue the next time I write a criticism of a gaming company or its product, I think you may be fighting a losing battle here, because of the nature of language. The government considers a corporation to be an independent collective entity, and taxes...

So, I stumbled across this video that perfectly makes the point about what I would consider "too much choice" in character building. It's hilarious and hits the nail right on the head.

So I was listening to this guy in ESO, and it was Minsc. I've thought I heard him before, but this time, Jim Cummings was pretty much just doing Minsc again. Who knew Minsc was a Nord? Now that I know he's in ESO, I'm hearing him all over the place, because he did a bunch of characters. He's...

I kept recognizing this guy's voice in Elder Scrolls Online. He plays various random quest NPC's, but I kept hearing Jowan from Dragon Age: Origins. Lo and behold, my ear was right, it was him. I confirmed the post below with Desmond Askew's Imdb and Wikipedia pages. I have to automatically...

If you like Skyrim, you should like the single player part of ESO, since it's very similar, and very deep in lore. If you're into the Skyrim lore, ESO would be like going back in time 1,000 years or so and learning about Tamriel as it used to be. There's all kinds of fascinating lore and history...

@Antimatter , I'm sorry to hear it looks like it will be a disappointment to you, after you were anticipating it for so long. I'm not into sci-fi themed games at all myself, unless it's Star Wars, so I don't have a dog in this race. I keep reading a lot of posts from Elder Scrolls fans...

So here's a screenshot of an Elder Scrolls Online locale that I found particularly striking. Maybe I should try posting more of these. I keep "planning ahead" thinking I'll get tired of ESO and want to move on the single player Elder Scrolls games, but there's *so* much content here. I'm still...

Thanks, those sound interesting, especially the UI, because I hate Skyrim's default UI. I'll definitely see if I can get that one installed and try it out.

Yeah, I've been having trouble getting that and other similar utilities to work, because I'm discovering that they don't play nice with my dual drive computer. They keep insisting on using my C: drive, and only my operating system is on that drive, nothing else. I put all my games on my D...

Heya, I've been researching mods to plan for future Elder Scrolls playthroughs, and I was wondering if you are using mods in your run that's posted here? To anyone who knows Skyrim, are there mods for it that you consider essential to getting a good experience? I already know I'm going to want a...

I was disappointed in my first short sampling of the tutorial that I couldn't play a healer like I wanted to. Healing isn't even a thing any more in DA:I as far as spellcasters go. They want you to spam potions like an action RPG, which I thought was a serious move away from the spirit of DA:O...

Thanks, I read your post from the old forum. That advice might be enough to incentivize me to keep trying. I'll keep it in mind.
