Congratulations, as always! Your party resembles my own favourite party, it was just that I used Kana for damage instead of Hiravias. I agree wholeheartedly the official companions can do quite well. It's more a question of metaknowledge, using the right items and spells. An off-topic (kinda)...

This is like clockwork now. Damage control already started, less than 24 hours after. https://www.eurogamer.net/mass-effect-5-wont-dabble-with-stylised-visuals-like-dragon-age-the-veilguard-director-says

I expected the worst from Mr Matty after his Todd Howard interview (to stay among "the good guys" for publishers etc), but he didn't disappoint and released an honest review. Also, can't NOT post this important video:

I like history and can probably point out Vikings and Mongolian invasions. As for sci-fi, my biggest dream is someone creates a book, a movie, or a game about invasion from a parallel universe using some good science theories, e.g. quantum entanglement or black holes. NOT some done-to-death...

Abubakar Salim, whom you might know as Father from Raised by Wolves, or Bayek from Assassins Creed Origins, has a gaming company Surgent Studios. He showed a pitch for the studio's next game, which it seeks funding for: an “Afro-Gothic RPG” inspired by games like Planescape: Torment. The game...

I keep enjoying your reports, they remind me of my own experience when I "mastered" PoE (not to complete the whole game without any reload, mind you). Once you manage to "perfect" your skill/spell choices, there is extra fun in winning encounters.

Well, unless the area is guild-specific, it's unlocked from the beginning. For example, to record the video in the main room of the College of Winterhold, you'd need to become an Archmage first. The main story quest will unlock dragons. If you're doing a kind of a no-reload run, unlocking them...

Over the last month, I built up a new character, a stamina Dragonknight nord. She even managed to get into the Top 100 Deathmatch table this week, which marked the last week in ESO with 4x4x4 Battlegrounds. A patch will be released soon that will change how Battlegrounds work, and there will be...

And hey, a Steam page for Subnautica 2 is now live! They also showed a teaser:

Sounds like a great run, @O_Bruce! It's a great feeling to get a fulfilling playthrough of BG from start to finish before moving on to other games. I also did that 3-4 years ago, I still remember that run fondly (even while I didn't beat Melissan) and still don't have the "what if" urge to...

Congrats on your victory! And yay for a run with companions instead of mercenaries. I've always been more a fan of BG than IWD, so customly created companions have seemed less interesting (and less challenging) to me, especially since you can set up their attributes etc.

You have light attacks (Left Mouse), heavy attacks (Right Mouse), bot (aka portable gun) shooting with another key, you have "special" ability by a bot (another key), also dashing and jumping. A lot of advanced combat tricks can be unlocked with weapon/bot upgrades and by using certain...

@JustKneller On your topic of a gameplay-focused game with an amazing story, you can't go wrong with Nier: Automata. And unlike your concerns re/FPS where you'll have to grind through shooting sections for the next dialogue, combat in Nier is amazingly simple and yet stylish and good-looking...

For gameplay-focused games, if you're into Dwarf Fortress, look into RimWorld as well. Or Kenshi. Have a look here (I wrote about the game). I can support what you say about Disco Elysium--it's not a big game either, around 20-30 hours. It has fun mechanics with the dice/exploration and the...

Hopefully, it won't affect it. The devs are working independently, and Ubisoft will be only a publisher—a bit like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which was released earlier this year. Btw, I really enjoy blog posts by Unfrozen, they are written by someone who is a big HoMM fan and player...

Thanks a lot for sharing your adventures. I tried playing Subnautica, but as you said, for me it was a horror game. But it was great to read and observe your adventure.

You can skip Bioshock 1&2 and just play Infinite (that's what I did and never regretted). It's one of those games that must be played. The FPS elements didn't bother me, I was impressed by world-building, story, mysteries, and VO (and of course, Elizabeth). You will also have magic there so it's...

The cloak of non-detection only protects stealth, not invisibility. If you're stealthed, you remain unseen even if an enemy's True Sight/Detect Illusions spells go off nearby. Note that powerful creatures can ignore your stealth, e.g., dragons or liches. The constant effect of non-detection...

Are you going for that special achievement (where you need to have every class in one character)? I'm unsure how I feel regarding barrels in this game. It was fun in D:OS 2, no question. But here, I still thought it was just something "alien" and brought from another game. It's the only aspect...

Such a shame she's not a real companion. I remember low I listened to her singing, many years ago in the Early Access, and thought, what a great a bard companion, following Lohse from D:OS 2...
