They've recovered several so far, and they've done things like incite a political riot in a small city after revealing the magistrate was corrupt and threw him out of his mansion to the torches-and-pitchforks crowd outside

That sounds really awesome! How many sessions are you expecting it to run?

I think the VN has more stuff but it's a good enough story that whatever way you experience it is win.

We started last...August and run every other week via Discord since my players are everywhere. I would say it could last maybe through the rest of this year, depending on how they approach things. Sometimes they skip by things I planned and do other random poo poo that I gotta account for on the fly.

The worst part about the game is that all my players are already really good at roleplaying so I rarely get to do the most fun thing about being a GM in Fate, which is compelling them to do things that put them in a compromising spot lol

yah got the Legendary edition on sale. havent played them since release. am doing a full Insanity run of all three. real good so far! i forgot how much i liked ME1. combat was really trivialized because i ran as an adept but it's my favourite class in the first. i loaded up a shotgun with scram rails and explosive shells and i was melting enemies. even the final Reaper-Saren fight... once his shields were down I was able to ragdoll his body around the arena.

playinv a Vanguard for ME2 but i forgot there is no groundpound move in the second game... thats an ME3/Andromeda thing. so my strategy of just pinballing through all enemies isnt quite working out as i planned. it is still immensely satisfying sendinv a Krogan or Geth Prime flying with a charge when they are unshielded. makes up for all the times one of their rushes killed me.

on the Firewalker DLC atm... this part doesntt hold up. the ship is flimsy compared to the Mako and there are no areas you can quicksave once a mission starts. bit rough... still a blast combat feels so much snappier compared to ME1.

How does Okabe come across in the anime? He's a bit divisive as a character but he 100% worked for me largely due to having access to his internal thoughts and realizing what his deal was. I imagine he's a little more grating when you're just watching him

The VN absolutely rules and I can't imagine anything diminishing that, even knowing the story or character beats beforehand. It might also have the best VO of all time

OG, already had it
considered elite but apparently its just the original + the anime and I got nothing against regular static VNs so I'm not about to drop another 40 bucks on the same story

I vastly prefer the OG's art (I forget what else Elite changes) so that was imo the right move

Elite gets rid of a few bits, you wouldn't notice if you didn't play the original VN but the original is the way to go

the baby was pretty awful, but for some reason, the dolls were much worse for me.

currently playing through Pathfinder, Wrath of the Righteous, and really enjoying my angel MC. I wish there were like 50% as many loving loading screens in campaign management tho

It's super weird that they set up the dialog system such that a line can be lawful/chaotic OR good/evil, but not both. So you have the good option, the chaotic option, etc. It does weird things to the writing.

Good game, though

Maybe I was just bitter because when I got on my Veteran I realized I no longer had the shovel because Past Me had sold it or whatever.

There's something about the Darktides POV that just doesn't work for my eyes for some reason

There's certain first person games that give me nausea for some unknown reason. I know No Man's Sky isn't an FPS per se but I had the same issues

i'm doing a second playthrough of Disco Elysium. a hacked run, with sixes in all stats so i can see almost all the dialogue from my skills. putting most of my skill points into the thought cabinet, heading for the communist vision quest, getting basically completely different conversations out of every character i talk to despite playing it mostly the same as my first playthrough. unbelievable game.

outer wilds is on sale on steam rn, i should probably check that out next but returnal looks fairly epic....
