I don’t think it’s a super common opinion, but I really liked Starfield’s main story. That said, it completely fails on the dynamic world front. You might be better off with Cyberpunk for now.

Western-style ones, yeah. High-effort side content is CD Projekt’s specialty at this point.

It’s like the super bowl champs giving the next decade to the Bears.

nowhere is safe 😫

Well…that’s better than the 20+ I needed for Crusader Kings 2.

Jumped into Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous a couple weeks ago. Was a bit concerned at first because I enjoyed Kingmaker and kept hearing this one was better, but I was not feeling it. Then the end of the first chapter hit and the hook set in deep. I’m not far in, but the scope of this story is already really impressive. I feel like this is the kind of thing that’s too ambitious for me to ever have a chance at playing in tabletop (not without a really experienced DM and group, anyway), so it’s cool that this story can be experienced in this way.

Terra Invicta has been on my wishlist for a while now but I’ve been holding off because a) I sometimes avoid early access and b) the learning curve sounds brutal. Sounds like it’d be right up my alley if I got into it, though.

Surviving Mars is delightfully chill. Amazing soundtrack, too.

Some of us have favorites that arrived well after starting the series.

That said, I feel the need to tap the sign: if anyone thinks mainline Final Fantasy games are bad, they need to play some genuinely bad games for perspective. There are plenty available even within the genre: Beyond the Beyond, Ancient Roman, Lunar Dragon Song, etc.

The series is constantly reinventing itself, and that’s going to leave people behind. SQEX still manages to retain consistently high production quality despite that.

My least favorite fight in the game. On my last honor mode run, Isobel started her turn by triggering Attacks of Opportunity from both Marcus and one of the undead. The second one paralyzed her, of course. She’s lucky I happened to have a cleric in that party that could Sanctuary right after, otherwise she would have been gone.
