You can learn a foreign language and still play video games! Hobbies and productive activities are not mutually exclusive. In fact, you have to give yourself time to enjoy yourself if you are going to sustainably produce the motivation to pursue important things on your own time. At least, that...

I bought the first one recently for like 4$ or something insane. I will eventually try it. hearing what I have about the sequel, i won't touch it, but i've long accepted i'm not a modern video game enjoyer.

Have you considered throwing? You only need a handful of skillpoints to make it "good enough", and it's a decent support option for a tech melee build. Also, you're a dwarf, have you considered pumping your CON to 20? ;) it's a random bit of trivia, but a lot of the pre-generated classes end...

Do you have enough smithing to make all the charged equipment? ( sword, shield, etc.) It might come in handy. After that, i'd go into mechanical and just try to get the robots. Fitting for a dwarf imo

I created several characters and leveled them close to max. A sword and shield guy was my first.

This, and interacting with a million different menu systems that don't interest me, and the basic bare-bones gameplay and story, are what inevitably push me away. The one MMO that I liked, City of Heroes, I never had to buy an alternate currency, and I never had to grind, levels came with doing...

I don't like MMO's, period. Combat mechanics included. The sole exception to this, and I have tried many, is City of Heroes. But that does everything differently to every other MMO. It's a tragedy as a single-player RPG enthusiast to see every major franchise grind to a screeching halt because...

This is the correct way to play, in my opinion. Tim Cain has mentioned that the only reason real-time exists at all is to make multiplayer viable.

The easiest and shortest route to fixing a glitch like this is just to cheat-in a resurrection item, there is a technological version. Quests can be taken out of the failed state if the person in question gets revived. Actually kind of cool, if you have the power naturally.

I am making slow but steady progress in Arcanum. I have just arrived at Quintarra, and set off on the first quest I was given. This led me to Waroman, and I instantly knew I was going to keep him until end game. He's none of the standard races, which is cool, he has magic which fits my team, and...

I always liked Electricity and Smithing as Dwarven technologies. Later on go into mechanical. Early on you can have charged rings and balanced sword, good enough. Later on you can craft robots to do your fighting for you, don a healing jacket, wear a helmet that reflects bullets, etc. The Tesla...

When you count the fact that you can convert Heroes to your army, and those Heroes have more diversity than just "more powerful type of your creature", and also you can transfer high level creatures between levels if you find the right secret items...there is actually quite a lot of diversity...

i havent used it and havent had any issues.

I will say that Dragon Age is really special in that you can get lost in the lore for ages, it is so dense. Especially if you are discovering everything for yourself via gameplay and not just reading it all online. Everytime you think you have a thorough understanding, a new layer reveals...

There are so many interesting ways to make a tech character. Throwing is a good choice. But there are also so many cool magic spells, I end up going magic every single time. One day I will make a Dwarven electric and smithing master like I keep telling myself.

Arcanum from GOG has always been plug-and-play for me, no issues. Am interested to see what build and character you go with!

I would say Arcanum solely on the basis that it is less of an investment. If you play DAO then you might be tempted to import your save into Dragon Age 2, Inquisition, and god forbid, you may even touch Veilguard. Arcanum is one and done.

It is a pre-gen that I added the "gifted" trait to and then changed the stat line and skills around a bit "Chitsa" was the name of the pre-gen I used as a template. I added "Chitsa Fairtrade" because it made me laugh

Tyranny has amazing lore, an amazing setting, one of the best conceptions about magic of any rpg, and it's one of my all time favorite games. Playing Good in a world dominated by Evil is possible, but expect it to be the path of greatest resistance. Indeed, it doesn't even appear to be totally...

To hold me over between bouts of Arcanum I have decided to try to beat another game that held me back for too long, Fallout 2. Using the same philosophy that worked so well in Arcanum, I went the Charisma route. Meet Chitsa Fairtrade. Master of speech, barter, and gambling. My goal is to make...
