    Assassin's Creed games

    I'm not sure it was a paid promotion, there was no brand name or AC symbol visible or anything. The opening ceremony combined a wide variety of all kinds of cultural aspects around the city, from the Louvre pieces over Moulin Rouge dancers, opera singers and breakdancers, heavy metal band and...

    XCOM 2

    I have picked up where I left after coming back from vacation and finally built the communication center or whatever it is called that allows me more contact slots and makes it possible to build communication relays. It's probably going to bite me in the ass at some point that I didn't do this...

    Assassin's Creed games

    Assassin's Creed is officially an Olympic discipline now! ;-) No, but seriously, I'm watching the opening ceremony for the Olympic games in Paris right now, and it has several cool aspects I won't go into detail about now because they don't belong here, but what stands out for me in on-topic...

    XCOM 2

    That sounds reasonable. At least I knew what to expect and decided to take it easy :)

    XCOM 2

    If that was the first time you played, I'm going to cry. Only for a moment though. But yeah after getting the hang of some mechanics (just made the acquaintance of higher level vipers) it seems possible to avoid savescumming. There were only a few fights where I misjudged the situation in...

    Hi people

    I'm sorry. I'm not from Belgium, that is just my VPN. I also don't have a military wife, that was a bad excuse for high privacy. I didn't lie to harm anyone, only because I wanted to start over with a clean slate, but I feel bad about lying and the past has a tendency to catch up with us...

    XCOM 2

    It is not frustrating though, but interesting. It doesn't feel like a failure, but like a tricky puzzle waiting to be solved in multiple attempts, trying a few times which tactics and approaches work.

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I don't get it. What's the matter with them? I mean I completely understand why a no-reloader wouldn't risk going near a wild mage, but what's wrong with Rasaad?

    XCOM 2

    Indeed. It happened on one of the missions where the Chosen Assassin appeared out of the blue and reinforcements dropped from the air in all directions, which made it near impossible to stay covered. And our armor is still made of paper. I was sad but decided to roll with it. On an Advent...

    XCOM 2

    I only realized now that War of the Chosen is an expansion. It is a DLC but can't be deactivated on Android version. It would have been interesting to play the base game version first maybe, but it is what it is. It adds 3 factions and classes to the game with unique soldiers (I got one from...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I especially think you should not try to split hairs with a potential jury, because you don't need to explain yourself to anyone else. You need to be at peace with the solution. I know that losing a party member I intended to keep, a friend, to a bad combination of factors out of my control...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I would say re-adding Minsc at the cost of the scroll is the easier way out compared to uninstalling the Revised Death component and replaying the battle, because the challenge of how to otherwise handle the fight without the guaranteed insect plague spell failure is still there. Unless of...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    This may be a dumb question but are you sure the mage didn't simply have Stoneskin? Also, isn't there a component that gives a saving throw to the casting failure each round? Maybe you have that installed? With that said, such effects in a random encounter suck because there is no way back. In...

    XCOM 2

    Indeed, I have a feeling that's what's going to break my neck, because it's impossible to do everything and I have no idea which clocks are running where and what should be a priority, what is only for resources, or what isn't as urgent as the game makes it feel. But it is fun to figure it out...

    XCOM 2

    Indeed they're the best possible when available. I'm trying to pay attention to rotate soldiers so that I have a backup for every role. With infirmary ready and a med drone, I should have people back on duty faster but it still helps to have a full B-Team.

    XCOM 2

    Thank you. I already found that out but I'm not quite sure how to place them for best effect. I already see inventory management is an issue. I can only equip each soldier with one grenade before missions. I need frag grenade to blow cover, med kit to heal, and flashbang grenade against mind...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    I realize I am answering to a 3 years old post but I really want to say thank you for those videos, they are a treasure to dig through. I thought I will get Wrath of the Righteous because I have always preferred BG2 to BG1 too, but now I think Kingmaker is worth playing too. The only thing for...

    The "Let's complain about our jobs" Thread

    It speaks for this community that you are so comfortable sharing. I prefer to share as little personal information as possible, it is job related as well. The wife is military, there are so many pitfalls, what is not safe, what is not allowed, what can be tracked. VPN is easy as breathing...

    Should we arrange subcategories for bigger game franchises

    On mobile the overview of the site is completely different. I was shocked when I first saw it on PC.

    XCOM 2

    One of the 3 Chosen. And the aliens use subtle biological warfare, putting cactus plants in Africa that are found only in Southern US and Mexico :)
