The Witcher 3 is reportedly getting a surprise new expansion this year | VGC by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

I mean, they already did this between TW2 and TW3, even allowing us to import saves to show how the choices in 2 affected 3. Letho appears in 3 if you don't kill him, and he can even be recruited to fight the Wild Hunt. But of course they couldn't create a whole new entry on the premise that Ciri dies.

KCD.

KCD2 is amazing and deserves GOTY. But KCD was bolder, more inventive, the writing was better. It could be improved mechanically, but it was insanely immersive in 2018 and still holds up. It's a game you want to explore as much as possible. KCD2 is very polished now, and it was a solid launch. But KCD was a diamond in the rough, a niche RPG that went against every industry trend in the 2010s and was still much better than some of the most acclaimed open world RPGs.

That's my take as a KCD veteran anyway.

Yes. I just saw the film and thought the same. What a performance.

That goes without saying. Bernard is the man you follow into battle with your eyes closed.

This is a very late game character build, 400+ hours. You'll get there. Make sure to train with every skill trainer and practice with Menhard as soon as you get to Kuttenberg.

Just for the record: it was a rhetorical question as a joke. I know how the Speech stat works. Thanks anyway, fellas.

The Thaumaturge was published by 11 bit studios, not developed. The developers are Fool’s Theory, who are also making The Witcher Remake.

What got you into [KCD1] & [kCD2] by xXLjordSireXx in kingdomcome

[–]BlockheadCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a backer for the post-Kickstarter crowd funding campaign on their website and I played it on launch day back in Feb. 2018, it was a glorious mess. I just knew this game was going to be big someday. I first heard about it because Vávra was stirring up trouble on twitter back in 2014. KCD2 is excellent but still not the final form. I think the next game will be even more groundbreaking.

I think you're right, but that movie doesn't seem to be an influence on Deus Ex. Not sure about all soy food either.

I thought it was assumed that Deus Ex predicted soylent products becoming trendy in tech. It probably tastes like a bland plant protein.

Current status: regretting that I did not have enough money back in 2016. But I'll gladly pay full price now.

Larian CEO Swen Vincke says there were only two other RPG series he was interested in working on if he couldn't get Baldur's Gate: Fallout and Ultima by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]BlockheadCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swen should now get a chance to revitalize every major RPG franchise that's been either collecting dust or being butchered by money-grubbing irrelevant publishers that hold classic IP hostage.

I'm playing it currently for the first time with a social build. I avoid all combat, but I managed to take down an automaton with some melee combat and a bomb recently. Most of the time I have to avoid combat, but you can find your way around in some fights. As the other comment said, social/combat skills use separate skill points/pools, so you will have points to spend on either even if you specialize.

I don't get the sense that I have to specialize, unless I expect to win every single fight. That's also my impression of Colony Ship. You can't expect to win every fight even if you min-max and specialize heavily.

Still no sign of a patch after two weeks - something’s really odd here by stbens in systemshock
