MisterBibs posted:Another related TES lore thing I love was some in-game books discussing those things in the sky. I'm paraphrasing: The only downside to this is that whenever realms of oblivion actually show up in the game, they usually don't live up to what you were expecting. Hermaeus Mora's realm was pretty well done, but anything is an improvement over endless stretches of lava.

Captain Lavender posted:I picked up Saints Row 4 for $5 on Steam. I like how fun it tries to be. Like, no restrictions on character creation, super powers in the first few missions, etc. Speaking of making fun of Bioware, I love that in the cockpit they have a literal sex doll in the seat that EDI sits in in Mass Effect 3.

For reference, in Mass Effect 2 you get an AI for your ship that's basically a floating orb hologram:  In Mass Effect 3 that AI is turned into this:  Because fuckin' Bioware. Maybe you can gently caress it. No idea.

Mierenneuker posted:There's also Ben King in which case it looks like it is going to lead to sex, but then turns out to be The Boss being nervous about asking him to sign a copy of his book. The disappointed look on King's face tells him he was totally ready for sex. Pierce's romance is the best because regardless of the Boss' gender, he always responds with "I don't usually swing that way, but...".

The Shivering Isles had some effort put in, and they just got lazy with the Boethiah and Peryite quests.

One of the enemies from Persona Q (carrying over from 3 and 4) is a Hulk Hogan looking dude wearing nothing but a speedo. Sometimes when you enter combat with one Mitsuru will say "He's practically naked! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"

I had forgotten until right this second about (male) Shep sexually harassing the crew, specifically that assistant that's under his direct command. So uh, thanks for that I guess.

The writing was self-insert fanfic terrible (but goddamn, Jennifer Hale loving nailed the whole "minx on the prowl" bit). BEEP BOOP here is how you depict Jane Shepard winning over a potential mate BOOP: "Anyone waiting for you back home?" "Never settled down. Doesn't seem fair with this job. I guess you can't miss what you never had." "...so you're single?" and "Where are you going with this?" "Just making sure I won't get my rear end shot off if I make a move." "...Well, I wasn't expecting that...commander."

The only saving grace to that is that after one or two creepazoid convos you can make Shepard take the hint from Jacob and drop all the amorous advances. Then it's fistbumps all the way.

I love what they did with the shortcut indicators in Q versus the ones in Etrian Odyssey games. They're more visually distinctive, and have an audio queue that they're there as well if you're close enough to them. It makes them much easier to notice.

Then it's fistbumps all the way. Kaidan, meanwhile, will start picking out the drapes if you so much as say hello to him without adding on -alsoI'mnotinterestedinyouromanticallyatall! You generally got "pleasant/indifferent/hostile" responses to things other characters said in those games and had a bit of freedom to play around with them. But with Kaidan it was either be utterly indifferent in everything you said to him or just outright yell at him, because if you even said,"Nice space-weather we're having, huh?" he'd take it as announcing your engagement in the space-society papers.

Bussamove posted:Koromaru+Kanji buds for life. Plus, you can just place the shortcut on the map, and it will indicate what direction you can use it in. Also, if there's a location you can investigate, party members will pipe in with a "I think there's something there..." sort of comment. Despite the general lack of conversation in the dungeons, Atlus did a good job with making it feel like you're walking through with all these people, and not just keeping things morosely silent the whole way through like previous Etrian Odyssey games. Kind of disappointed how Teddy comes off like much more of a self-centered jerk a lot of the time though...

In Fallout: New Vegas, there's a holotape you can find in Boulder City near an NCR corpse that mentions several names of soldiers, like Jeffery Hui. If you look at the nearby memorial for NCR troops that died there, you can actually find their names on the memorial's model.

Pokemon ORAS lets you put 'Organise Boxes' at the top of the menu, so you don't have to scroll past the separate commands for 'Withdraw' and 'Deposit'. It's a very little thing. But convenient as hell.

I just finished playing the 2012 Syndicate and really liked how ambiguously your character was portrayed. Pretty much all of the missions put civilians or just non-combatants in your line of fire and there wasn't any negative or positive result from killing or sparing them, it was entirely at your discretion. I went out of my way to minimize civilian casualties by not using area of effect weapons or lethal abilities and it was curiously satisfying to do a DART scan after a fight and note that the only dead bodies on the ground were enemies with weapons. And after everything it just cuts to credits, no payoff at all for doing the right or wrong thing so it was super faithful to the world they built.

If you look at the nearby memorial for NCR troops that died there, you can actually find their names on the memorial's model. Most of the names on the memorial are also either the developers names or references to stuff (like one is a reference to Fallout 2). And if you attack the memorial, the NCR soldier looking at it will get pissed and you have to pass a speech check to calm him down (or leave town for a few days). I might have mentioned it before, but the Wrecked Highwayman is another nod to Fallout 2. It even plays specific songs from the old soundtrack when you get near it.

Playing Alien Isolation lately - one of the things I've really grown to appreciate later in the game is the controls for pulling levers / interacting with the world. I'm just now on the bit where you have to overload each reactor core and it feels oddly satisfying running towards a one-handed lever and quickly pressing the correct trigger-analogue combination (in this case L-trigger for the left hand, pulling it in a downward motion to activate it) quickly to activate the switch. It feels more dynamic than a simple "press X" prompt would be - making it feel that a lot more effort it required to flip the switch. The game is also scattered with some fantastic art-work - making the space-station its set on feel fleshed out and lived-in. Particularly the levels dealing with the (spoiled, incase anyone wants to go in blind) Synthetics Its available as the PS4 xmas deal atm too - well worth picking it up.

In Final Fantasy X just before you fight a boss monster attacking the airship, there's an item seller who will sell you restoratives. One of the characters asks why he's selling the items instead of giving them away as he'll die too if they lose. I thought it was nice comment on how that situation often arises in games.
