They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
Valheim was amazing. But it’s faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I’m just sad. Very sad.
So many amazing ideas in Arcanum. Time to finally check out the various modernization patches and mods and give it a spin.
My first CRPG was also from a pawnshop! Though it was the original Wizardry in 1982 ;)
There is no war in Ba Sing SE after all…
Are you me?!?!
I’ve been evangelizing about that game to any gamer I meet, especially old sk00l Fallout fans since… I bought it in 2001 ;)
Could we please focus on Rampart, I mean, Gaza…
You won’t get through to the Putin shills. No matter how much the ruble tanks, they’re in it for the long haul
‘A good republican body, rrrrridled with phlebitis!’
The word you’re looking for is ‘apropos’.
Not even the difficulty. Just the relentless pop-in of enemies. Endless and boring.
Yes, then I remember how much I dislike Ashlands…
I don’t remember that in my copy of The Anhkana…
You call the a pressed ham?!?!
So utterly grim that it perfectly explains the entire conservative movement.
“Life is bad. Anyone who isn’t miserable and angry like me is cheating and must be destroyed.”
Same here on both counts!
But in his case it damn well appears to be both, given his long history of drug abuse AND love for eating very questionable meat.
Ernst Rohm seems more fitting
I’m lucky to have both.
The pain gets worse every year, but I’ve been dealing with it for closing in on 50 years so… meh I’m mostly used to it.
The tinnitus has a similar timeframe but seems to be getting worse MUCH faster. And is so much more distracting and ruinous to quality of life.
Elderly old man with a resting bitch face here. People don’t say ‘cheer up’ to me, but have frequently asked my wife why I’m so angry.
Same boat here my friend.
1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.
With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.
