I was kind of wondering the same thing, considering that most video game shotguns have a range so hilariously and unrealistically awful that they're essentially melee weapons with a trigger.

The video game shotguns being melee weapons thing does annoy me a little, I admit it - I appreciated that in OG doom the regular shotgun could kill grunts across a room, well beyond what the same SSG shot could do

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Depending on how awful CoD shotguns are, I guess it's entirely possible that the only way you'd ever realistically tag someone with them would be by setting up ambushes.

You are yet to meet the worst rogue companion, if you haven't yet met HIM

Fortunately DAI is playable without rogues.

And the best companion by far is the wizard lady whose only purpose is to savagely insult all the other awful companions 24/7.

How many drat rogues do they give you

And yeah I just met Vivienne, and while I'm not entirely sold on her stuck-up noble persona, it's certainly better than Sera. I don't know if I'll swap Solas out for her, though. Actually what am I saying, she can take Varric's place. I don't mind him too much as a character, but this is a case of 2 Many Rogues

they give you a companion for every subclass, so 3 rogues, 3 fighters, 3 wizards.

I was thinking about WW2 games and just discovered that Steel Fury Kharkov 1942 released on Steam recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZE5JDeZKb8

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1351450/Steel_Fury_Kharkov_1942/

It's a fairly old game, it REALLY needs mods that add content and it has never heard the term "user-friendliness" but it's probably the best out of the "modern" WW2 tank simulators. For many years now it's been kind of a staple among grumbling grognards but it was a pain in the rear end to even find a copy. Not anymore.

I recommend it to anyone that wants a more serious tank sim but do know that it will be an old-school experience both in terms of the game and having to look around in remote forums of the internet to find the mods that really make the game tick.
Hell yeah I'm down with tank games. Which people would make more of them, and also do modern tanks (though I see the same devs also apparently made a game in the mid-east with M60A1s and T62s).

My impression of really high level FPS people is that really value being able snap their aim to a target super quickly and accurately. So a weapon where they don't really get to utilize those skills, or getting killed by someone who doesn't have to use those skills, maybe isn't as fun for them as it is for me, who needs to be in shotgun range to hit anyone in multiplayer regardless of what weapon I'm using

Sniper rifles annoy me on battlefield because they ruin the team dynamic. I never really die to them, the problem is half the team is staying in the back to try to get a few safe kills instead of actually playing the objective or giving health/ammo. It’s obnoxious.

If you look at the properties of a game in the library there's a button that says "move steam installation folder" or something like that. That works.

Generally speaking, you can also just drag it straight over into your new library folder. I mean, the Steam client won't be able to tell that you have the game installed until you actually try to run it, but it shouldn't cause any technical issues as such.

It's broken and glitchy as gently caress, the story is worse then GoT S8 and unless I was mistaken there's actual cutscenes missing it expected you to have seen because suddenly the NPCs are talking about major important details that were never mentioned.

I beat it by cheating and giving myself inf heal potions and even then the combat was a slog.

That's more or less it. Install Steam, point the library to the location of the folders, it'll find them either on boot of Steam or on first boot of the game, good to go.

I literally just did this for a fresh install. Be prepped for letting it run for a while as HDD read time is close to 100 MB/s. ~250 gigs took about 30 mins for me.

They have a guide that covers how you want to do it if you're talking about more than five games. Strix is right that you can do it all in Steam, but it's a lot of click through. I wouldn't recommend deleting as they said; I just moved over the folders listed. You should move this folder as well: <SteamInstallFolder>/steam/games. It has all of your desktop icons. If you didn't snag this folder, you can just "Verify Game Cache" to get them back, but that is very much a pain in the rear end to do for your entire library.

If this is for a fresh install, make sure you move your save games, too! There're not stored in the main Steam folder, but all over your user file. For example, I had games that saved in "My Games" and "Documents" and carried those over, but this didn't cover my Total Warhammer 2 saves, for some reason.

TWW2's saves live in your Appdata\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer folder, not in Documents or your user folder.
