RDR2's world interactions are definitely something you have to get used to because its easy to make mistakes and everyones super aggro and packing - the controls favoring realism over playability only compounds this, then you add Hitman-style action menu prompts for every single object in the damned world and yeah youre gonna make a lot of fatal or semi-fatal oopsies the corollary is that after playing a bunch of RDR2 i hopped into Witcher 3 and baby youve never seen a better behaved Geralt, i was giving every townsperson the kinda space buffer you reserve for highway traffic just in case someone called the eternal fire cops on me for stumbling into them or whatever

one thing RDR2 did very well that more games should have is a basic "say what's up" or "say gently caress you" system for interacting with random npcs.

also 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand's cursing system, which should be a dedicated system in every game

BG3 is at least more conducive to savescumming.

I had lots of issues early on with running into people while on horseback, but stopped making that mistake a while into the game.

the warhammer game is fun. a lot more combat focused than bg3 obviously but once you figure out how to build a team its ezpz unless your psyker summons an actual demon by accident

Epic High Five posted:I don't mind a lot of pain, the main reason it's got me so down on the game is because my favorite part of these games is exploring every little inch of the world. The rewards for doing so are good I admit but man every choice they made was something that made doing so more unpleasant. I already know what's in this or that room - 3+ enemies with an archer who is literally inaccessible. Don't forget to use the lifegems, DS2 is set up for a lot of chip damage from the enormous number of enemies, and lifegems are how you're supposed to mitigate it. Unfortunately, the base game is kind of a slog and it's only the DLCs that are incredible.

Series S is my primary console and it rules. It's a series X that cant do 4k or physical media, but costs half as much, is WAY smaller, and is whisper quiet. Great GamePass machine

All games should have this. I think it originated in Bully which I should replay sometime. I like to do the "horse whistle" in there too. So when people get real mad you just whistle loudly in their face.

"Howdy, partner." Right-click to greet My horse immediately steers into the stranger and flattens him. Once, an NPC got mad at me for "following him" when we both went up the same long staircase. I tried to run away shouting "I don't want to fight you", but he caught up to me and started punching, so I killed him with a single headbutt. Interestingly, I didn't get charged with murder, because the witnesses saw that it was self-defense. Another time, I killed a bandit in self-defense but got accused of murder because a witness ran up after hearing the shot and saw me holding a smoking gun over the mugger's body.

Yeah I barely touch buffs which tbh thank God because I just couldn't be bothered with all that in Pathfinder. I'll give some buffs out now and then but a lot of them are psychic and then you have to worry about the Monster Meter filling up

I've brute forced my way through two puzzles in Rogue Trader so far (electro-church and a planet with some laser podiums). Got some badass loot thanks to both so I guess I gotta say puzzles ftw

Great GamePass machine I also have an S that I got as a pure gamepass machine and I feel like I've gotten my money's worth from it. Even with only a Gamepass PC sub, it lets me play the stuff that's cross platform on it as well with cloud saving, and you can download VLC for it and stream files over your network with better support than any other app or method I've used. There's some things I watch with weird subtitling, like multiple subs at different places on the screen sometimes or different fonts in the same file, and VLC supports them perfectly whereas no other streaming app I've used does. I think I paid like $200 or $250 for mine or something back when I got it and I feel like it was decent value still even though I also have a PS5.

looked at the clan choices for bloodlines 2 which I think are complete now. much smaller pool and seem p pigeonholed by archetype Brujah (melee) Tremere (ranged) Banu Haqim aka Assamites (stealth) Ventrue (crowd control I guess?)
