If there's really a chemical imbalance contributing to your suffering, you may need medication to assist your treatment. That would mean you need a doctor's diagnosis, advice, and supervision to help you get onto a medication that can treat the neurochemical issues. Pharmaceutical treatment...

I've been through similar crises in my life. I got a bachelor of arts in music and a master's degree in divinity because I thought I was called to ministry, then realized I wasn't. That was five years of undergraduate and graduate school down the drain - "worthless education". I went back to...

I still play all of 1-6 from time to time. I never got into 7, though. I didn't think it was bad, necessarily, but it just didn't click with me at the time for whatever reason. I have huge nostalgia for 1 and 2, which unavoidably and powerfully affects how I feel about them and why I still play...

Overwhelmingly the most popular title in the series is "Heroes of Might and Magic 3". It's considered the pinnacle of the series, especially in Eastern Europe. If you want to give it a try to see for yourself what the big deal is, I'd recommend getting that one and leaving the rest on the table...

Here's the short "Heroes of Might and Magic" documentary video that was promoted in the anniversary video linked in the above post.

"Heroes of Might and Magic" fans will probably enjoy this 30th anniversary celebration video that the Ubisoft Channel on YouTube just released. Also, it mentions there is a documentary being released on the same channel this weekend on October 11.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, but the process you describe does go to my original point. We used to call what you're participating in "beta testing", and developers paid people to do it as their employees. Now they've convinced people to pay them to work for them as beta-testers. They're getting...

I know, right? I was somewhat excited before about the release of "Titan Quest 2". The original Titan Quest is a game I've replayed many times over through the years. Now, lo and behold, Titan Quest 2 has been released in beta form with the dreaded "early access" business model. That's a red...

My takeaway: For all that gamers complain about microtransactions in gaming, the only way that model will change is if gamers stop buying them. According to the report, microtransactions provide almost half of a game development company's revenue, so microtransactions aren't ever going away...

Nice to meet another MMO player in these parts. I'm probably going to play GW2 again eventually. I only ever went a little way into it. I tried three different classes and two races, and I started over several times. People that know me around here know I'm a chronic restarter. The personal...

Perhaps strangely, this is the first I'm hearing of this news. I did see one mention on the Associated Press about the new British law restricting minors from using Facebook and other similar social media, but I didn't make the connection to how it might affect gaming. I've been playing a lot...

I want to second O_Bruce 's recommendation above of the young lady talking about the Baldur's Gate games. I'm halfway through watching at this point, but it's really making me happy to see a young person getting excited about the old games we all love.

Oh well, sounds like you've got the mechanics down well enough. That is one of the hardest fights in the game you're describing, at the end of the Mage Circle scenario. The Mage Circle also has that tedious Sloth Demon sequence where you have to keep shape-shifting and solve puzzles by matching...

Hmm, well, I'm sorry that you're hitting that frustration. I remember getting the tactics to work well for me, after I started to think like a computer programmer. Each character's tactics screen is a series of if-then commands, and the order matters a lot, because the program is executing...

Morrigan and Dog can also be quite funny together, although you'll see some of that in camp whether you take them out in the field together or not, iirc. Also, I've always loved the character of Flemeth and wished they did even more with her. I don't want to go into spoiler territory with...

I glad you found one of the origin stories that connected for you. There should be good story opportunities later. I'm not sure how far you've been as far as areas of the map, but all the racial territories past Lothering have stories that I remember as connecting racially. At least I used to...

This post almost makes me want to play again sometime soon, so I can refresh my memory. I don't remember having nearly as much trouble with the combat as you're describing, although I do remember that ogre in the tower being a very, very hard fight at that level, and that I did a lot of kiting...

Sorry you're having that trouble. I had a feeling the tariffs were going to have a bad impact on gaming, especially on the hardware end of things.

I missed getting to know Jan Jansen on my first ever BG2 play because I was rp'ing lawful good, and I wouldn't lie for him to the "police" when I first met him. "Yes, officer, he did try to sell me a Flasher." That was the last I ever saw of Jan Jansen in that run. My loss. Now I rp with my...

So this is interesting. I wonder if there are internet algorithms in play that are connected to this forum, or if it's pure coincidence based on things I've watched on YouTube recently. Right after I posted here in this thread, I went to YouTube, and this video was in my suggested videos feed...
