Another attempt at a Top 100 list, this time by Eurogamer. Double standards are strong in this one as well. Eurogamer gave BG3 a 4 (from 5) but this list shows it as the #6 overall... https://www.eurogamer.net/the-eurogamer-100 No Witcher 3 on the list. No TES or Fallout games... No D:OS 2. No...

Ouch, that sounds like playing with randoms is not advised for that kind of game. I only played DST with my friend, and we had a lot of fun together. But the game is not easy and requires 100% of my concentration. There is no way to pause it either, so playing it requires a lot of energy...

"It's not 100% clear why Larian didn't include these features in the toolkit to begin with, but it may be a case of protecting certain copyrighted assets being scraped easily from the game, or from being altered in a way that is unpleasing to DnD's intellectual property overlords." So maybe the...

Welcome, Affili! Hope you find this place your home! What are your favorite games? And yeah, we do have a section for RP: https://tavernrpg.com/forums/role-playing.15/ Looking forward to your contributions!

Congrats on beating the game and thanks a lot for sharing the story. I haven't played PoE 2 and haven't looked at your spoilers but read most of your texts. You make it sound as if PoE 2 is a smooth and rather short game (compared to, say, BG2). Is it so?

Honestly, I don't think the woke vs. anti-woke debate affected Concord player numbers on a large scale. I watched a few reviews of the game, including ones from the beta phase, and I can conclude the game's failure was due to many factors, such as price, slow combat, no variety in gameplay...

I'm serious when I say that there are more good games released with every year. And there are more opportunities to develop and publish them. For each Concord, there is Astro Bot. For each Starfield, there is No Man's Sky. For each Dragon Age, there is Baldur's Gate 3. Over the last 5 years I...

What you're saying is very close to my own RTS "history". AoE 1 and especially AoE 2 were tremendous for me. AoE 1 was one of my first games, and AoE 2 was probably the most played game until I switched to RPGs such as Diablo II and Baldur's Gate. And similarly to you, AoE 3 was somehow "wrong"...

Patch 7 is now out! And with it come new evil ending cinematics, along with Honour Mode improvements and new Legendary Actions, split screen improvements, a new way to mod your game, and a whole bunch of gameplay improvements and bug fixes. In-Game Mod Manager Browse Baldur’s Gate 3 mods...

AoM released, and is sitting on a 92% positive rating on Steam. That's probably the best choice to jump into RTS games if you haven't before.

Yeah, the game can be modified to look drastically different. The question is, whether it'll be Skyrim after that, or not.

I was hyped by those Endless Archive improvements and new features, and gave it a serious go with my Necromancer. These few weeks were a lot of fun: - completed all Endless Archive mini-games and got all appropriate achievements; I couldn't stand a chance in some of them before; - using the...

https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-one-year-later-larian-interview Popular games are released all the time, but it's not common for the actors behind video game characters to be thrust into the spotlight. While it wasn't Larian's suggestion that the cast begin engaging with memes on...

Ohhh, congrats! That's some achievement for sure. It was an exciting tale, with lots of side commentary that I enjoyed. Be careful in SoD: the difficulty increase (in terms of enemy AI and their abilities) is substantial.

Not to get a restartitis in Skyrim (or any other TES game), I'd recommend creating a concept of the character in mind. Create their story first (see https://tavernrpg.com/threads/the-elder-scrolls-roleplay-playthrough-thread.11/ for a few examples) and try to stick to it during your gameplay...

Ohhh, that's excellent news! Tagging @Xzarloxara here as well. I see a few positive factors already (and yes, the part about Ubisoft is true): It's Early Access, so they'll need to listen to what players say. The screenshots look very HoMM3-like, which is a big plus. Enroth! It's Unfrozen...

I've noticed a few previous partners are leaving Epic Games (or, at least, changing their deals). 1) https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/08/misplaced-hopes-why-borderlands-4-wont-be-another-epic-games-store-exclusive/ 2)...

That's really nice progress there. Yeah, as soon as you get 6 characters with ~35-60 HPs each, and a repertoire of disabling and buffing spells, Legacy of Bhaal becomes playable enough. Definitely agree with the zoom level of the portraits, I've always done the same thing, tweaking EE portraits...

I'm a football (soccer) fan. I've been watching it regularly since ~2007. Before that, I usually watched only the World Cup/Euros. The first tournament (that I still remember fondly) to watch for me was the 1998 WC in France. I don't follow other sports. Back in my college days, I played...

Necromancers now can receive Major Prophecy and Savagery from Shocking Siphon. They also get Major Brutality and Sorcery from the Skeletal Archer or Skeletal Mage. This is huge! Corpses can be made with Skeletal Archer/Mage. Unnerving Boneyard now gets Minor Vulnerability, and Summoner's Armor...
