I would be interested in not playing Ember, if it's still available.

Kingmaker has always intrigued me, to be honest.

It's RTwP, but you should play it anyway because it is cool.

Tyranny is extremely cool and was shaping up to be one of my favourite crpgs but then it just... ended... Like out of the blue, ended. Building up to something loving awesome, and then nope it's over.

Still really worth playing but it does feel unfinished, even in the gameplay in some ways. Crafting your own spells was really unique and fun though.

I did not play the DLC.

I believe the DLC is considered extremely bad, so it should be avoided anyway. I guess Tyranny is more of about the journey than the destination sort of deal.

I own Tyranny but have not yet played it even though I did pay for it, so I can't speak from personal experience. However, I've heard a few people call it a 'game that ran out of something'. What that something was... money, time, the effort of the creators, the support of a studio etc is up for debate, but it was a very good game idea that was let down by a lack of who-knows-what.

It doesn't feel unfinished, but it does feel like the first book in a series. One that may never get any sequels. Like if Star Wars ended on A New Hope.

a new hope has some pretty blatant sequel bait, including luke training with his lightsaber and then never actually using it

Sure, but you wouldn't call it unfinished, right? Or maybe you would, I dunno :shrug:

It felt unfinished in terms of gameplay rather than story. You're told about how different various factions are but then you fight them on any difficulty and they require the same tactics. You capture those spires that provide you with cool sounding facilities but you don't actually have to use them at all.

You do get to use them like 3 times, and then the story suddenly end at a to-be-continued spot. What a bummer. :(

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
The DLC isn't good as something you buy for $15 but it's ok as far as actual content. It's just about the same level of quality as the rest of the game except a bit buggier, which is a disappointment as Obsidian's DLC/expansions tend to improve on the base game a fair bit

This is up by the way. Far Cry 4 is auto-added to a Ubisoft Connect (aka Uplay) account without any key involved, everything else is Amazon's downloader.

I don't know if Chaos gate is any good, but there is an excellent 40k mod for Open Xcom with custom maps, marines, imperial guard, and tons of enemy factions. One of the more impressive mods for old xcom. I had some fun trying to make a run as the IG, but once I started facing Chaos space marines I was slaughtered like a lamb.

I liked it. Wrote a review after getting it last year. There's a supernatural aspect to it similar to LiS, but mostly it's a coming of age story that deals a lot with loneliness and how damaging it can get.

Thanks. It sounds like a more condensed game, but also with less puzzles or traditional gameplay.

Neat! (Another LiS fan here).

Too bad I’ve been getting the “OOPS, SORRY!” page from Steam every time I tried though. The last giveaway was like this too, so I’ll try again in a few days.

I got that a bunch of times but there are two identical links and clicking the bottom one worked. :shrug:

On the steam webpage in chrome it just flat out said I couldn't have it.

Apparently it's like ultra-porn and you have to be 160 to view it.

Ah, thanks! I had not noticed there were two links, and the second one worked. Must really be some porn in that first button.
