Playing Dragon Age Inquisition after Witcher 3 was a mistake. It's like owning a Toyota Camry after owning a BMW 3 series. But I guess every other RPG will become like this. Scheisse!
20200416212049_1.jpg


Shitty 30 fps cutscene, shitty voice acting, shitty combat mechanics - a trifecta. But I'm gonna trudge through cause I'm a sucker for good story and I don't have anything better to play atm.

BTW can anyone help me what I should be doing as an archer? The damage is so low and there are even enemies with long range attacks I can't dodge.

As an archer? You reroll into mage :D No seriously, it gets a little bit better when you get those new skill lines to pick from, then you can get some synergy. Until then, yeah, its lackluster.
Dodge mechanics in the game are pretty crappy. Its much more effective to use the temporary shields and armor buffs for defense.

Best part of that game IMO is still the title screen music. I think that part has highest playtime for me :p

BTW how dafuq is body paint such a good armor? It gives cold resistance too?!

I just used this instead cause it's classy-er:

Though in later cutscene the butler-esque gloves made me laugh.

I just can't see myself as a mage you know. I hate their staff and their long robes. *yuck* So uncool.

Warriors are not too bad either. But this problem will eventually go away; simply because your teammates are just as important as yourself so you will always have a mix and each class does have its unique little perks. Just grind up to the full team ASAP and get to your stronghold. If you want to make life easier, study the perks you can get within your own class and see if there is synergy to be had that suits your playstyle. You can always respec later on, too. Most of that is just playing along with the perk descriptions, focusing around one set of effects or modifiers is usually best. Any perks that give temporary or on-proc shielding or armor are best in slot really. Add some damage on top and you win the game ;)

Also, you have 3 trees don't ya? No need to stick to the archery one, because it really is the worst.

Very bad timing. After Witcher 3 action RPGs will never be the same

@Vayra86 or he can play on normal difficulty and then the class and skills don't matter. I 30 hours in i think and only died by mistake a few times.

Going on a 5th retry of a campaign mission in Mechwarrior 5... yep. Nostalgia, alright.

Its just like in the old days. 'Here, take this generic set of objectives stringed together for your campaign mission'. 'Here, deplete your ammo on these useless targets' And then when you think you're done 'Hey, another lance just dropped to kill you'. Boss fight. :p I'm now at the point where I can reach that fight without being half dead and empty... but still...

@Cvrk true but I believe that isn't @Khonjel s game :) And rightly so!

Been playing a little "Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD"

Not ground breaking or anything, but a fun little game. Too bad the expansion never came to pc. It runs on almost anything, my dual core, 4gb, gt430 1gb, old system ran it fine at 1600x900 max settings (but 2x aa, 4x af).

I bought a "new" pc the other day.
Athlon II X4 3Ghz, 8gb ddr3, and still using my old 240ssd and gt 430, but I have a 1050. Just waiting for the DP to VGA adapter to come in (hard finding anything in store... And stay at home orders). Only set me back 175.

And since I wanna share my disgust with ya peeps, that my friends is a picture of futuristic organ farm. Basically a pig that's being harvested for human organs. And a VR kit strapped on so the organs are cultivated in an ideal environment.

Thinking future is grim? Well it's happening. Google "Bovine Escapism"

I'm glad you described it, cause at first I didn't see a pig nor the headset.

Now I want to play it too. I know I have it somewhere.

On the whole its not a bad RPG, it not great but there are far worse. The DLC is far better then the vanilla game and often goes on sale on Origin.

I may pick it up at some point. I have sort of lost the lust for gaming again. I put about 150 hours into RDR2 in the first three chapters and just sort of burned out. Maybe I'll get Fallen Order going again or something. Honestly, I would play the crap out of Dying Light 2 right now.

The wife and I did that for years :) Got too much like a job to us, so we gave it up, but recently rolled into the Classic servers, and broke out the Hunter and 'Lock, enjoying the heck out of it :)

Still playing a lot of Grim Dawn, but WoW is a nice departure with some old friends every few days :)
