    I actually haven't got to any real quests so far, all of this is just a prelude. I could have, but the game is brutal and I don't want to reload like crazy when a quest event proves to be very difficult for Mary. Yoko (and later Magnus) equips a guards' cuirass now, it provides a 27% reduction...

    Here are statistics of Mary's pirate activity so far (the last row shows sunken ships, the row before the last shows boarded ships): Mary tries to follow the steps of The Gentleman Pirate and doesn't attack civil ships without a reason. So she's hunting her fellow pirates generally. Mary...

    The Core of Diablo

    Ohhh, congrats! We now have another Guardian. I like how you tweaked the players' number based on the risks involved. Also, cool to get that screen with all the items. It's an especially rewarding feeling to see how a character with "just" rare items becomes a Guardian.

    Mary succeeded! Not only the Corvette is captured, it turns out to have very decent stats (ships' stats are randomized a bit, so the gameplay core is trying to find a ship of the type you want with really good stats for its type). It's even faster than the Brigantine. As always, a shot of...

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    About Obsidian games: Poor Obsidian, they got some real criticism in this thread ;) Probably, deserved. I definitely agree with the take on Outer Worlds from that video and I also see things that could be done in PoE differently and better. Both from the gameplay and storytelling perspectives...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Congrats! So what's your opinion on the Suicide mission? Some call it the best quest BioWare has ever done.

    Tyranny - General Discussion and No-reload/Ironman Thread

    Ohhhh, a nice one! Congratulations are in order. I really enjoy your showcases of getting these rarest achievements. But it's not only the result that matters, you always provide useful commentary and advice on the games you play. Bravo!

    Baldur's Gate Saga RP Playthrough - Lawful Neutral Half-Elf Cleric/Mage

    Ohhh, a Wizard -> Fighter dual, now that's non-meta! Fun background info as well. Looking forward to hearing more about Optimax Toehead. If that's his name, are his stats 18 all? ;)

    Look at this beauty Mary encounters. A light and fast Brigantine, my absolutely top favourite ship of Tier 4. It's very, very quick and manoeuvrable, it carries more troops than any Schooner can. Btw, ships of the same type can still differ a bit in this game in a few details visually - that is...

    Yes, you can use 2, 3 or even more ships! But of course, it's limited by the AI that controls your other ships. You can issue commands, such as: Attack X ship, Defend X ship, Flee, and control the type of cannons they use. But it's unreliable if the battle goes south (for example, your ally...

    Mary saved enough money and raised her reputation, so finally, she invites Yoko to her team. Yoko is an officer, which means her skills add to those Mary has AND she can also navigate a captured ship. This is a huge difference, and a big step up in power. Now, when Mary's troops win their...

    Mary Read arrived! Born in England in 1685, she began dressing as a boy at a young age, at first at her mother's urging in order to receive inheritance money and then as a teenager in order to join the British military. She then married and upon her husband's death moved to the West Indies...

    I watched Gamescom's Opening Night Live yesterday. The reaction is mixed, but I saw a few games that interested me personally: Under the Waves by Parallel Studio, a narrative-driven adventure game "about the engulfing power of grief. Set in the depths of the North Sea in a techno-futuristic...

    Bart started with a spyglass of bad quality. The better the spyglass is, the more information it reveals when you use it on an enemy ship. For now, it doesn't show much. But the player can also judge by the ship type about approximate numbers for its crew, ship integrity and sails. If it's a...
