  1. The Elder Scrolls Thread

    Well it doesn't hold much water because I originally played it a year or two after release. Also you make it sound like I am some punk kid that doesn't get 'real games'. :) It must have been around 2013 I first played Skyrim because looking on the Requiem mod history the other day it's first...
  2. Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    I just can't find myself getting into Wrath solely due to the silly cartoon graphics. I find it super immersion breaking. I did get through the whole of the first one and did enjoy it solely for the oldschool dnd ruleset but the graphics bugged me through that as well. I just hate that bright...
  3. The Elder Scrolls Thread

    Hey guys. I spent probably about 2 months getting Skyrim running with all the mods I want - most of that time, with breaks due to frustration/exasperation, were trying to make Requiem work on Linux/wine, which I finally did by a really tricky method but did it. Anyway, after all that work I...
  4. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    Lol defeats the purpose of buying a handheld? I was playing in bed this morning. I do not mind less efficiency a little bit. Doesn't detract from enjoying the game to any considerable degree.
  5. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    Went with the ROG Ally and just started playing POE2. The controls take a little getting used to but not as bad at all as I thought they would be. Just takes a little longer to get the analog sticks to click on things on the small screen due to size and high sensitivity.
  6. Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    The graphics of the Pathfinder games really bug me. I just don't like those cartoony bright graphics. I did enjoy Kingmaker quite a bit but no where near as much as Pillars 1 and that tells me that the atmosphere is more important than story or combat for me. The combat of Pathfinder was of...
  7. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    Oh I would plan to run a native linux in either case so I could get usual control of files and such. BazziteOS looks good as an alternative to SteamOS. EDIT: last comment here looks promising: https://steamcommunity.com/app/560130/discussions/0/4141690481117803718/
  8. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    Oh I see now from your reply it was not clear. I am most interested in how one navigates the controls for such RTWP/turn based games? How would you control the cursor efficiently and make all your strings of orders and constantly switching between characters to issue commands? Is playing with...
  9. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    Thanks. Actually, following some very helpful advice elsewhere I have changed course and see it would be much better to get a 2nd hand gaming laptop instead, to give more bang for the buck plus negating the issues I had initially highlighted with a handheld device. Since I would be running...
  10. Can you comfortably play 2d iso games on a handheld gaming system such as steamdeck or other similar clones?

    I am considering getting one of these handhelds, probably one with native linux, be it out of the box or tinkered to make how I want as I don' mind DIYing at all. My goal ideally would be able to have a machine capable of running open world games that would otherwise off limits due to my usual...
  11. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    It sounded good but then I looked up the graphics and see it is 3d or whatever it may be properly called. I would have a hard time getting into that. I find even things like Neverwinter Nights I would struggle to get into now. 3d games imo have not aged well as goes for most 3d games of any...
  12. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Hi guys, long time no see. :) This one never got off the ground as I suddenly was informed Black Geyser would not work on my machine since the laptop is from 2013 and the game requires something like 2gb ram graphics which this one certainly doesn't have, being only intel integrated graphics...
  13. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Yes I initially passed it over as I thought it was a planescape torment remake and I know people will probably get made at me for this but I didn't get into torment. Not for any reason about the game being bad but I didn't like the grotesque setting and just gave me the creeps! Probably could...
  14. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    You can just do what I did, which is what caused the error since I had the details for this one saved in a file but used the other way, and put in 'rpg pub' in the search engine. :) I'm not sure how I got the two mixed up in the first place since I searched them through the search engine with...
  15. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    I don't think I will be bothered about the ending. I don't like most endings. When I get the feeling things are winding to a close with a game it feels like 'oh I know what is coming some huge battle to save the world between good and evil'. On that note it would be good to play an rpg where...
  16. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Thanks for the detailed reply. Closest to BG1 sounds great. While BG2 was amazing for many different reasons BG1 I felt was darker and my preference for feel. Ah yes I remember just after writing the OP that I saw it is on 50% off on gog. How is the world building? You say the game generally...
  17. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    As above, I don't want to risk wasting money on a game I would not like. One man's mountain is another man's molehill. :) I just have a good sense of what I like and don't like in an rpg. Also like mentioned I don't want to spend money on a game I wouldn't like. If all games were free then...
  18. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Thanks, it's strange. I was unable to login yesterday and my post was gone. I thought I might have been erroneously tagged as a bot and had my account deleted. Seems people are more trigger happy with false positives these days in the age of AI. I thought I would try one last time and I could...
  19. Anyone played black geyser or other pillars of eternity/badur's gate alike recommendations?

    Well met fellow rpg fans. Black geyser looks very nice stylistically. I haven't bought a game in years. I would have to really be into a game to put down money for it. I would have maybe bought it if it was around £15 max but due to the mixed reviews the asking price of £30 seems too much for...
