I'm not prepared to research and post the perfect announcement articles to go with the post like @Antimatter does, but for those interested, there are Titan Quest 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era games in the works to be released probably next year. Googling should turn up a bunch of...

I'm back to playing an old favorite for a few weeks - Titan Quest. I spent the last couple of weeks of summer break building a selection of new characters, and now that break is over and I'm back on a full teaching schedule, Titan Quest is great for after work when I want to just turn my brain...

I always just use the "What's New" tab to see what's been posted in the last 24 hours.

This summer I've been giving RuneScape a try. It's a very different and unique MMO from what I'm used to in other MMO's. There are two very divergent versions of the same game, "Old School Runescape", which is the game as it originally was before a massive graphics and gameplay overhaul (which...

During SoA, I think you'll need a mage to cast Lower Resistance and Breach during Imoen's down time, unless you choose your battles very carefully and/or rush getting her back. Keldorn can't get Carsomyr without beating Firkraag, remember. and personally, I always beat him with Lower Resistance...

Fun aside about the Quantic gaming psychology and research company - I once taught violin lessons to one of their employees. He wanted me to teach him a violin solo from a jrpg he loved playing on console. He only took lessons for a semester before saying he couldn't afford to continue, but he...

@JustKneller , thanks for your supportive posts; I appreciate it. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who likes original BG, and that I'm not the only one who thought the video that started all this was, well, maybe unnecessarily confrontational and dismissive of other people's tastes and...

Wow, that is some heavy duty "justice" there. Interesting take on your character's morality. I forget, is this character lawful neutral or lawful good? I usually refuse to take or associate with Neera with my lawful good characters, because of her recklessness and incompatible alignment, but...

Okay, I watched the video. The historical bit is well-researched, and I enjoyed the review of what happened, since it was so many years ago, I had forgotten a lot of that stuff. Like JustKneller, you also lose me on your "soapbox" portion of the video. You have no idea why those of us who...

Nice to see it all discussed with respect and civility here. I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, but I will. I gave you both my upvotes on your posts over there to counter the "dogpile" downvotes, but I'm just one person. :)

Don't feel bad about it, @JustKneller . I also started my share of journaled runs with big plans and wound up moving from big write-ups to brief summaries of main events after I got tired of how much work it was, between writing and also constantly taking and curating screen shots.

I know what you mean. I find myself moving that way, too. I prefer MMO's more and more, precisely because they're all sandboxes with the "create your own adventure" possibilities baked in.

@JustKneller , you and I seem pretty sympatico about a lot of things. You articulate very well why I still haven't bought BG3 and may never buy it. Concerning romance (and especially sex) in games becoming distasteful to me, that's a change in myself that has happened gradually over several...

Since my current game, Lord of the Rings Online is down indefinitely, reading that last post is tempting me to go back and work on my OG cleric-mage run today. It's a toss-up between that and giving Guild Wars 2 another chance to hook me. Regardless, great write-up. There's just some je ne sais...

All I can think is that you could go there intending to *ask* for a copy of the map, or to buy it. When you go in there, they attack on sight (iirc), and it becomes self-defense. I can't remember if the door to the place is locked. Do all these people ping evil with Detect Evil? I suppose Mendez...

Sounds a little like Percival de Rollo from Critical Role "Legend of Vox Machina". Although, I don't think that character was ever a religious, fight-for-justice type. There's also Pike, who lost her faith for a time due to her attraction for the mercenary-ish rogue-ish Vox Machina friends, with...

I'm sorry I missed this thread before. I caught up reading and will look forward to more. It looks like you left off on the run last September, so I'm glad you decided to come back to it. I'll be fascinated to read about your eventual switch to thief class if you follow through with that plan...

Not exactly on topic, but for anyone who can't find/can't afford old paper guidebooks and needs to use the "digital means", I know a website that's a treasure trove, and for some reason it doesn't come up high in search engine lists and thus is very hard to find if you don't already know about...

Okay, I'll jump on board with a vent. I secretly hate my job and wish more than anything I could completely retire and quit. I can't tell anybody in my real life that for lots of reasons. I'm a classical musician and teacher. I'm also severely hearing impaired, which remained untreated for far...
