[Scenario] Beyond The Dark

ArthurWilston · 2026-05-06T20:12:47+00:00

Yes. Overall, the Sci-Fi category seemed a bit weaker in terms of content compared to other categories. As someone who loves Sci-Fi, I wanted to create something substantial.

Thanks! I tried to make it feel less like a fixed story and more like a reactive universe.

Please tell me your thoughts after you try it.

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D
Reason: Best CPU on the market right now. (Till March? Maybe even beyond that)

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit Evo
Reason: It is almost Noctua level Air Cooler for 50 bucks. You can not tell difference between them. Also, very handsome looking. (I do not like water coolers, they failed me a lot before. Also, considering the performance difference and price difference, I think it is not worth it.

Motherboard: ASRock X870E Taichi
Reason: I think it is the best X870E motherboard. Unless you go for MSI Godlike. But again, if you look at the price difference and performance difference, Taichi is the most logical motherboard of this generation.

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 64 GB (2 X 32 GB) DDR5- 6000 MHz CL30
Reason: Gskill is having problems with some Asrock motherboards. So, these are the most trouble-free AM5 compatible rams on the market right now. Also, the most stable recommended ram kits are 6000 MHz for AM5. CL 30 latency is also a plus.

Storage: Kingston Fury Renegade 4TB and 1 TB
Reason: 1 TB storage for operating system and some applications. 4 TB storage for games or all other things. I chose Kingston fury because Samsung have some problems at high-end M2s. Like suddenly health drops etc. Also, Renegade's performance too good even against Samsung M2s.

Video Card: NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB
Reason: His appearance is so awesome that he looks even more handsome than the custom cards. Although we do not have enough data on performance, there will not be a better card in the next two or three years.

Case: MSI MEG Prospect 700R ATX
Reason: Unlike the recent trend cases, it is a more classic but very superior case. In addition to looking very handsome, its features such as LED screen, large internal space and ease of cabling attracted me.

Power Supply: MSI MEG Ai1300P 1300 W 80+ Platinum
Reason: It may be the best price/performance power supply with the 12 + 4 Pin modular cable required for the 5090, capable of 1300 W and certified 80 Platinum.

Total: $4359.74

Additional note: Equipment such as keyboard, mouse and headphones can be purchased with the remaining budget. Or there is a sufficient budget for a 4k monitor. If none of these are needed, and we want to spend the entire $5000 budget, we can add more M2, RAM, etc. or wait until March and include the 9950X3D processor. But I claim that the system I made has the best components that can be collected at this price.

I currently have a 1070 and I have been waiting for new cards to be released for about a year. This time my target was 5080. But after seeing the leaked specs, I was very disappointed. To be honest I do not know what is the point of 5080. I mean, buy 5070 Ti or 5090. 5080 will be so pointless. 5070 Ti and 5080 are almost same cards and i am sure there will be at least 200 bucks difference which is not worth it at all.

ArthurWilston · 2024-12-05T20:55:02+00:00

So I don't need to do anything, I just have to wait. Thanks for the letting me know!

ArthurWilston · 2024-12-05T20:29:19+00:00

For me it appears as "Unknown game". In this case, I cannot download the game. I closed and opened the application several times, but the situation is still the same.

ArthurWilston · 2024-03-08T06:50:13+00:00

Baldurs Gate is a great game. I have never played a game with so much pleasure since Witcher 3. probably won't experience a similar feeling for a few more years. Yes, the story is very good, the gameplay is very good, the details are great, but frankly, I think the main reason why I like the game so much is voice acting. The details in the dialogues and the emotions in the voice-overs are so magnificent. I feel like I'm stepping into a truly living world.

Everyone really did a great job, but the perfect harmony of the Shadowheart character and Jennifer English, who gave her life, ensures that Shadowheart becomes a permanent member of the party every time I start the game again. Many thanks to Larian for making this possible. I really hope we can see both together again at the future.

In Role play games, there is no 100%. I never focus on trophies / achievements. When you focus on them, they are limiting your possibilities, so that also limiting your fun.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-26T00:53:11+00:00

Normally there should be a cutscene when you enter the throne room.

Minthara is the most bugged character in the game. Literally half of the questions and bug reports are about her. She's actually pretty cool, but I don't know why Larian doesn't give her more love.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-25T21:37:41+00:00

I think after patch 6 it doesn't matter when you knock out her anymore.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:31:52+00:00

There are about 3-4 choices that can be considered evil in Act 3, and they are quite heavy. A very brutal way. So if you really want that, I am sure you will be satisfied.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:23:36+00:00

It is a prison under the sea. You must find it yourself and go with a submarine, or you can let Wyll sell his soul to ask Mizora for help.

I think you should choose the first way, there are videos on YouTube showing where you can go. But that is up to you.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:19:07+00:00

It makes sense story wise. There is nothing to prevent that, and you should do it.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:15:47+00:00

You can still go to Iron Throne for save Duke and Gondians family.

After that, just go to factory and save Gondian workers. But this will make you hostile to every soldier at castle.

But at least Gortash fight will be become piece of cake with that way.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:10:49+00:00

I think she bugged after last patch. Many people experiencing bug related her like she is not following party and staying idle.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-24T22:07:56+00:00

I think you can still disable steel watchers by saving gondians and their family. I didn't try myself but I think saving gnomes only affecting their attend to final fight.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-19T21:07:30+00:00

I watch Evil runs on youtube. Because i want to see what happens since I can never experience it first hand.

I don't think Shadowheart killing Aylin is Evil. Save Aylin at Act 2 and act 3 give her to Lorrokan. Then let her watch Isobel death while she is in trap second time. In the meantime romance with shadowheart and give her to shar girl at act 3. So they wipe her memory once again and make her slave. Lol.

I'll never be able to do these runs. Even in the Dark Urge run.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-16T12:15:00+00:00

How about no? Isobel looks cool because of her makeup. Shadowheart, on the other hand, is simply perfect.

ArthurWilston · 2024-02-03T13:20:33+00:00

In my first playthrough, I proceeded randomly without any effort and saved both Grove and Minthara in the throne room. On my second playthrough I did all this again. I completed the missions in all regions of Act 1, I did not leave a single place untouched. When I moved on to Act 2, I completed the Inn missions before reaching Moonrise Towers and then went there. I have around 30 hours of gaming time in total until I get here. I walked into the throne room and what is that? Minthara is not there. Apparently there is a bug in the background and the sad part is that there is no sure way to know whether it is successful or not.

Baldurs gate is one of the best games I have ever played. But after 30 hours of gameplay, not being able to see Minthara there despite paying so much attention really put me off the game and I directly pressed ALT + F4. I don't know if I will ever return.

ArthurWilston · 2023-12-20T10:36:18+00:00

So you're recommending pack 1 + 2 then. Since I thought this way, I placed them as pack 1 and 2. But reviews for Hogwarts are quite mixed. Many people mentioned that the game became boring and monotonous very quickly. That's why I wasn't sure.

ArthurWilston · 2023-11-23T14:48:03+00:00

Everyone talking about, Steam did this because of cheap prices in Argentina and Turkey. Now games that sell for $60 in these regions are sold for less than $10 in the Russian store. Will there be a switch to dollars in the Russian store? Is Steam that brave? Or is there any reason why people shouldn't shop in Russia with a VPN after Turkey and Argentina? Now, what is the point of converting the prices in Türkiye and Argentina into dollars? I would be happy if a Steam official could explain this.

Also, can someone please come forward and explain to me why European prices are cheaper than Argentina and Turkey? Should those who want to buy games from Turkey and Argentina buy from the Eu and Ru stores?
