I remember I was so impressed in 2021 by the first trailer of IXION. That was how space sci-fi should feel like, to me: Now, this upcoming space station city builder from Bulwark Studios got an awesome demo on Steam Survival Fest (runs from August 1-8). This game is coming soon this year and...

David Sitar (a technical designer on Dragon Age: Origins), has shared this recently (a Baldur's Gate-related easter egg from DAO):

I briefly stumbled upon this honest and inspiring article. https://www.pcgamer.com/fixating-on-player-counts-and-dead-games-is-making-gaming-worse/ An excerpt from it: "How to lie with statistics “Over 30 million players,” touted Sea of Thieves in a recent E3 trailer. “Join 10 million...

My turn to take a small vacation in a parallel universe! See you in a bit! ~Antimatter out

I see. I've never tried the option without experience sharing, I guess. This report about my Thundercaller says I reached lvl 5 while in Chapter 1 (with experience sharing), but of course, we didn't succeed in the minimum required time for the extra sword reward. So I guess it's a compromise.

How does this part work and what is the effect of either setting? What's the preferred way to play for more challenge? Congrats! This sounds very nice.

Here is a video showing combat between Mara and the Ancients. The very fact she doesn't need any potions and drains Mana & Life straight from her enemies proves she's almost unkillable at this stage of the game. And here is Mara vs Baal. Again, no potions were consumed. Maybe the game got...

One of the aspects I like about Diablo 2 is that it's a game that you can enjoy at your own pace. For example, I could have just followed @O_Bruce's suggestion to continue into Act 5 as is. But I didn't feel secure enough doing that. After a dozen years of playing Hardcore characters in D2, I...

Act 4, while Mara was still lvl 26-27, had more threats than the whole previous game until this point, but she did well. Izual lasted for more than 15 seconds, that's for sure. The Hell Forge provided an Ort Rune and a Perfect Amethyst. Meh, but it still looked beautiful. Diablo was more...

Mephisto fell in less than 15 seconds. Mara spent ~250k gold on gambling a Scissors Katar, got one causing monsters to flee in 25% cases + more mana leech. At this stage, basically, mana never drains for Mara. 2 flawless topazes were put into a rare socketed helmet. Aliza (Mara's rogue...

Owlcat Games released a new video--which GameSpot exclusively revealed--that goes into even more detail about how players will seek glory and a whole lot of cash as the titular Rogue Trader. "As a Rogue Trader, you will be "unbound" by most common laws others must abide by, according to Owlcat...

Duriel was dealt with while Mara was at lvl 21 (again, quite early). Not many issues there, thanks to the items the actual damage she inflicts, and her health/resistances are quite impressive for this particular stage of the game. Mara now has new claws and blades, as well as a shiny new armour...

Ohhh, 500k is a pretty big number, that's huge! Siege of Dragonspear was over 500,000 words of dialogue, for example. Wasteland 3 featured fully voiced dialogues, comprising over 500,000 words worth of conversations as well. Additional credit should be given to you that you're releasing the...

Andariel was handled by Mara at lvl 14 (very early). The fight was very short, I barely managed to take a screenshot (the demon was at a 1/4 of her health seconds after saying "the greetings"). When Mara teleported back to the rogue's camp, her health was equal to 1 due to the deadly poison from...

I really appreciate the insights. I haven't played P:WotR since the first few weeks of September 2021, so don't know about the later threats in the game, but your explanations definitely help.

Well, I plan to invest more than 1 point into Burst of Speed (currently put 3 into it) - because that's the core concept of this run, and because getting Increased Attack Speed (IAS) is so important for breakpoints. I'm using this site to check my current frames per attack - https://d2.lc/IAS/...

Can you talk about your class (and decisions over levelling Eve) a bit more?

So happy for It Takes Two, Hazelight studio, and Josef Fares! I played It Takes Two about a year ago, and I still feel impressed by the experience. A good read on its success and lots of good points about great decisions regarding the games he created (innovations, in a way)...
