I stopped playing at entering Wyrm's Rock Fortress for now... I'm still a bit annoyed by how difficult it is to navigate through buildings with several floors and find people (or find the staircase for that matter), but I think I got used to no longer being in the wilderness, and after solving...

Another really cool detail of playing a bard is that if you come to a place and someone is performing a song on an instrument, you can join in. No matter the instrument, if you pick the same song, you will start performing in harmony with the NPC and it sounds really good. Now I'm dreaming of a...

Indeed. And people who are retired and loved their job often come back part-time (because if you want it instead if needing it it's different, and often work is where all your social contacts happen), people who have enough money still continue working, even if on a reduced schedule, and people...

Now THAT'S a unique take on "the machines are going to steal our jobs"

Thanks for the insights. I think I'll pass on Dark Urge for the moment :)

Well, now that I have been explained how to improve stealing, I find it quite useful, but sure, healing is important. I'm still staying away from multiclassing because the level cap is low anyway, I still have to figure out where it's worth it and where it leaves me gimped. I hope you have...

Oooh I wish I had thought about multiclassing earlier, it would be funny to roleplay a Bard-barian! Charms people with music and all that blade flourish but sometimes rages and hits them over the head with a spare lute. Also, if sharing trivial silliness is OK, once I'm back at the PC I can...

Very awkward indeed. Yesterday I talked to a colleague (I happened to admit to gaming on 24h shifts and we entered a discussion and he turned out to be a huge Skyrim fan) who is excitedly looking forward to Elder Scrolls 6, but not only Starfield itself, especially the way it is being advertised...

Thanks. It's just that I'm excited that my worry about Rivington and losing interest in the game was unfounded, and I'd like to share those "Hey look what happened to me today!" moments, discuss options and decisions, but then it hit me that it's probably insignificant and doesn't matter to...

Well, it's labeled "biggest emotional moments" so I thought it's for the really impactful stuff. Sometimes it's just a decision I took, a funny moment, or a nice picture I liked, not something big. But maybe it's better only to share more relevant things anyway and not just "hey look what...

I have to ask, is this the right thread to post snippets of a playthrough etc? I can open another one if it would be considered spam to share random postcards and comments on my run here.

Everyone in this establishment were so convinced they're the perfect answer to our most secret dreams, so I just couldn't resist turning the tables, getting on the stage and having them throw coins at me :)

I think it is sad indeed. I don't want to play 200 hours with one character and then another 200 with another to find out there are small varieties of outcomes. Also, when they were excitedly presenting us the game during development, we were skeptical about the 1000 planets they advertised...

That's a good thing. I guess it matters that the industry and its public appearance with stuff like the Game Awards is still very young compared to, say, cinema and the Oscar. So it's still a process to define what is what and how it should be handled. As long as resistance from people in the...

It seems I lacked creativity and imagination. It didn't occur to me to use spells like Darkness or Illusion or the cat, I only tried to engage people in conversation or lure them away with a bard performance, but my bard also had the highest slight-of-hand. Also, entering turn-based mode didn't...

I haven't been stealing and pickpocketing as much in this game as I used to in D:OS2. Somehow I found it less fun, maybe because I got caught repeatedly without being able to say why (nobody saw me) and therefore I couldn't really pull it off and got tired of reloading for too much aggro. I'm...

Yep. "We need a human jury to decide where the blurry lines that define an indie game apply" is not the same as "it is an indie game if the jury says so". But I'm not surprised the guy who earns a lot of money with these shows lacks objectivity here. The very idea of indie game awards used to...

hahaha... in Sharess' Caress I found a book that puts our old friend in a slightly different context

I have come to the conclusion for myself that I won't, with very rare and obvious exceptions where it's clear before going in that this is "character quest of person x" territory, try to see all content for all companions and keep swapping them out. I'm playing with my team, and unless I'm...
