Serious question: Do you remember if that also was the case before you had Game Pass? Because sometimes I wonder if the knowledge that there are so many competing games out there means they have to catch us early or we'll move on. Not necessarily a bad thing of course, because it won't make you...

One important thing I'd like to add is that I love discussing and sharing opinions, but we need to remember it's all subjective impressions. What's a very bad story is maybe easy to agree on, but we can't always quite put our finger on what exactly we like or expect from a good story. I know I...

(Someone posted while I wrote this. I don't want to go back and change and adjust everything, so bear with me if it seems a bit out of context) Disclaimer: I liked playing BG and especially BG2, they were my introduction into the world of computer RPGs and some of their NPCs have a fixed place...

The New Life Festival As I have mentioned before, I started playing Elder Scrolls Online in December, and from December 15th to January 3rd there was the New Life Festival, an in-game holiday event around the new year. In a wilderness area of Eastmarch, not far from Windhelm, there was a...

This morning I drove home after work, tired and a bit unhappy after finding my car frozen from the inside and also realizing I needed to pass by the gas station urgently. Then I thought, why let that spoil my mood, turned on the car radio, and when I left the still dark valley where my...

Raiders of the Serpent Sea is 5E and almost finished, looking good from the few glimpses I have taken at the Player's Handbook pages we have been allowed to see via Kickstarter. I'd still like to know, @Brent Knowles, how the new license idea that WotC have come up with looks from a creator's...

I have to admit my brain starts to tune out when reading through articles full of law and ecenomy speak. I fail to grasp the conclusion and what it practically means. What I have understood is this: WotC have realized that (probably mainly with BG3, the upcoming D&D movie and all that) D&D is...

Thanks for sharing the picture, that's really cool. And such a heartwarming gesture, also to personalize the gift exactly to you, very touching. You give much to people by teaching them to play instruments, and it's beautiful to see it's appreciated and you sometimes get something back besides...

I strongly disagree with a generalization of that conviction. First of all, define "evil". I like stealing and pickpocketing in games, lately it has become both a dexterity challenge and a role-playing element for me, but apart from the thrill of executing a good, sneaky plan, it's more like...

A very interesting article, I like and support both the view that video games sometimes help us learn lessons we can apply in real life situations (same as the ethics learned from books we have read in our youth can influence our personality, for example), and the one that video games can be a...

Welcome, great to have you here! I'm a bit too.... how to put it? my friends might say "passionate", my enemies "hot-headed"... to be called a stoic, but I admire the "old" philosophers and their wisdom, and really like it when games ask us or make us ask ourselves deep questions about life...

Longest streak, unsurprisingly, was during a sick leave :). No surprise that the majority of games I have played are 1-7 years old, but the percentage of new games surprised me quite a bit. Yay for statistics! I didn't know "cats" was its own category, but yeah that was because of...

I think it's important to remember we're looking at two different topics here. "voiced vs mute protagonist" and "pre-generated vs custom character". To me, they're not even remotely about the same thing. RPGs with a fixed protagonist, like The Witcher 3 or the Mass Effect series, don't leave...

Fascinating how different impressions can be. Mass Effect is exactly the example I personally would use for why a voiced protagonist can be great even without having 10 voices to pick from. I guess your opinion is similar to some people's aversion to playing Larian's origin characters instead of...

The vault may look old but is still quite frequented, as far as I know.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a good new year to you all (you humans have such odd traditions... but Krogans will take any excuse for a party, so why not celebrate the completion of a planetary orbital cycle...). May your roads be easy, your backpacks light, and may you always know where...

This is what a search turned up: Second link in the reply seems to be what you're looking for, but as for compatibility with EE, required stuff etc I have no idea as the Neverwinter Vault is unfamiliar ground for me, but maybe @Antimatter knows which one of our tavern patrons is at home...

I'm surprised to hear they didn't change that, because I'd have expected feedback about that, as it was already quite a bother in Divinity: Original Sin 2, where you had to reload and approach with the character who has the required attribute, sometimes even combined with the talent to speak to...

I'm all for realism and most people have genitals so it's great characters no longer look like Barbie and Ken in nude scenes. I'm also happy that some developers don't bow to all the cultural sensitivities that make natural human(oid) body parts and sex basically something inherently wrong...

Exactly. They confirmed that in the beginning, but since Early Access was rather long, some people forgot about it, or others who started looking more closely at the game and information at a later time simply didn't know (and trolls or haters conveniently ignored it). I had also forgotten...
