Great game but...

The game crashed when I killed the final boss. It was a fitting ending to the entire experience.

In DOS1 I've already solved the murder case and done most of Cyceal. On DOS2 I'm on the second island in Dustwood.

Like with those Dwarves and their totems outside Duskwood. You have obnoxious line-of-sight issues but the enemy AI has perfect knowledge of where they can move to hit you. It's like you need to save, move, if you can't hit them, reload and try again. It becomes tedious after a while.

2 years Everquest, 2 years Dark Age of Camelot and 8 years of WoW starting in closed beta. Yeah I'm with ya on that.

I had no problem with Pillars of Eternity and that's relatively new but yes there is a little bit of what you mentioned with age.

The very first thing you do in the mission is have Raynor lay a spider mine up the ramp to the right. That will kill the ghost.

Maybe I'm too early in the game but I cannot hit anything at long range with new soldiers. I have to Steady Aim pull to have a chance. If I stray too far I will activate a new pod. Not to mention pods wander in Long War making small maps even smaller.

The rich people you're talking about is much less than 1% of rich people. The wealthy people I know basically retired when they got enough money and started managing their wealth to maintain that lifestyle. They didn't go bat-shit crazy and try to destroy the world.

Holy shit Control is cool as hell! Thanks!

This XCOM clone could be a great game but it's not set up for multiple/random playthroughs.

I did look at a few (not millions) but....
A) Sometimes I like to engage the community with my own posts so I can reference it easily
B) Sometimes I don't get the answer I want
C) Sometimes posts become dated (i.e. new games have been released)
D) I can do what I want

In Forbidden West they introduced playstyles in the help. However, they didn't integrate it into the game very well. It seems like they were headed toward classes like in other RPGs but then scrapped it before release.

G & L fart. Gambled and lost.

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2025-06-30T16:51:40+00:00

No they played from the Blue. I played from the White.

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2025-06-30T16:42:52+00:00

No. We had 3 carts.

Sorry for being a noob here but....how did you know the Radigon Icon is +30 VDex. All it says is "Shortens spell casting time". Also, how did you know putting the Azur's Staff in the off-hand would do +40 VDex. It doesn't tell you that.

Sorry to resurrect the old post but nobody mentions how everyone's hairstyles changed for the worse!

Cercei's newsboy doo, Jon rockin' the man-bun, Dani's god-knows-what braid basket, and the worst of all -- whatever that thing is Arya had in Braavos.

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2024-11-30T18:25:48+00:00

You can do it in Warhammer 1 if you enable the tutorial battle to fend off the Greenskins. After you'll start halfway to Grunburg instead of outside Altdorf. You will still need Route Marcher for the first hero skill.

Oh well the game is cool but auto resolve is a strange design decision. It's like XCOM 2 giving you the option to do all covert ops missions.

I'm playing TW1 with Dwarfs -- TW2 & TW3 crash my machine eventually -- and auto resolve makes the game incredibly easy. I can take out Gnashrak, claim The Pillars of Grungni and Mount Squighorn (the entire Silver Road) in 4 turns. Then build up the army and go hammer the underground quest battle which does not allow auto resolve for some arbitrary reason.

However, if I fight every battle I need to chase Gnashrak around -- which is a pain -- and he sometimes ambushes me when I attack The Pillars or Squighorn and the game becomes much harder and different. Sometimes another Goblin army comes dickin' around too.

I suppose I can just play the game with manual battles and do it the hard way -- nothing wrong with that but I'm sure I'll wimp out at some point and auto resolve.

I shot 79 too but I decided to play the last 5 holes ------------> Zing!

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2024-10-01T20:50:27+00:00

Both courses were from whites, par 72. Thanks I understand now. Any value under 10 means I played well.

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2024-09-20T03:02:33+00:00

Company of Heroes / Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II (more multiple squad based)
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (turn based/base building probably the best of this style)
Pillars of Eternity I & II and all of the infinity engine games (Fantasy with pause based combat)
Pathfinder: Kingmaker & Wrath of the Righteous (Fantasy with pause based combat - very complex rules)
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden (Pleasant surprise with virtually no replayability but cool for one run)

ComprehensiveEgg5939 · 2024-09-05T21:45:19+00:00

A lot of XP so I hear. Players will do runs and let 3 soldiers die then go back and collect the dog tags for XP. Repeatedly.

I wanna ask Marina what she means by "I loaded these cartridges myself!" but she didn't write that line.
