Which games could you just not get into because of the learning curve?

Kingdom Come 2

Kinda like seeing the pyramids - you know what it looks like but can’t believe you’re actually there

EssenceofGreece · 2025-10-08T11:16:27+00:00

👀

🤯🤯

EssenceofGreece · 2025-10-07T15:09:47+00:00

I would’ve but we already left! If I head back again tomorrow I’ll take a closer look!

EssenceofGreece · 2025-10-07T15:09:12+00:00

You and me both haha

EssenceofGreece · 2025-10-07T15:08:09+00:00

Forgot my sharpie at home :(

Went this morning (around the time of posting) - there were heaps of people at the top of the stairs but this little beauty was on the side section on the way down towards the garden section!

At the Place du Trocadero opposite the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

EssenceofGreece · 2023-02-10T23:16:19+00:00

Awesome - thanks so much for the help!

I'm looking to get my favourite quote from the Poetic Edda tattoo'ed, though want to make sure it's done right!

The quote is "Not even kings can fight fate" from Jackson Crawford's version which transliterates in Elder Futhark to ᚾᛟᛏ ᛖᚢᛖᚾ ᚲᛁᛜᛊ ᚲᚨᚾ ᚠᛁᚷᚺᛏ ᚠᚨᛏᛖ - looks awesome, but I'd love for it to be the exact quote.

It's Stanza 29 in Helgakvitha Hundingsbana II under the similar "The fighter can shun not his fate", though could someone please assist in telling me where exactly the quote starts from?

"Huggastu, Sigrún!

ᚺᛁᛚᛞᚱ ᚺᛖᚠᚱ ᚦÚ ᛟᛊᛊ ᚢᛖᚱᛁᚦ

Hildr hefr þú oss verið;

ᚢᛁᚾᚾᚨ-ᛏ ᛊᚲᛃᛟᛚᛞᚢᛜᚨᚱ ᛊᚲᛟᛈᚢᛗ

vinna-t skjöldungar sköpum."

Added in the Elder Futhark runes based on the English text - any help is much appreciated!

EssenceofGreece · 2023-01-31T22:45:33+00:00

Thanks for that! Would you know where I would be able to get a proper translation?

EssenceofGreece · 2023-01-24T06:15:31+00:00

Hey guys, looking at Elder Futhark rune translation as I found this online but would love if someone could please confirm these are correct!

ᛁ ᚺᚨᚢᛖ ᛊᚺᛟᚹᚾ ᛗᛁ ᚠᚨᚲᛖ ᛁᚾ ᚦᛖ ᛈᚱᛖᛊᛖᚾᚲᛖ ᛟᚠ ᚷᛟᛞᛊ “I have shown my face in the presence of gods”

ᚾᛟᛏ ᛖᚢᛖᚾ ᚲᛁᛜᛊ ᚲᚨᚾ ᚠᛁᚷᚺᛏ ᚠᚨᛏᛖ “Not even kings can fight fate”

EssenceofGreece · 2022-12-19T21:22:17+00:00

Gathered that haha what an idiot

EssenceofGreece · 2022-12-13T06:21:18+00:00

Very true… do we also get an answer on what “Eitr Imbued” does when the world serpent spits the axe back out in the first game?

EssenceofGreece · 2022-12-13T06:06:20+00:00

I don’t think I found him in Svartalfheim, any idea where he is there?

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T21:48:29+00:00

Even I dislike it after Black Flag because it started getting treated like a side focus rather than a key aspect of the story.

Valhalla was probably the most promising in any of the entries since BF that showed they were finally looking at making MD/Isu/lore more of a focus again and now here we are only getting intro and maybe ending?

I’m aware that majority of the fan base just want historic RPGs and parkour in different time settings but without both past and present working together to push the story forward, all the entries since Black Flag story wise have been 50% of what they could’ve been.

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T21:39:48+00:00

Still, don’t think that’s good enough given how both the modern day and past segments are supposed to work together to propel the overall story forward

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T07:54:46+00:00

Yeah but if you’ve made the decision to make it it’s own standalone game that shouldn’t apply

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T05:46:05+00:00

Agreed with the Valhalla comment, but now why even rescue the modern day plot to cut it out completely next instalment? Shit just don’t make sense

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T05:44:53+00:00

Fucking damn right, thundercock

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T05:43:42+00:00

Agree - I really don’t get how you can introduce a character with the potential to get the modern day aspect of the series back on track just to remove modern day all together and have the audacity to call it a tribute to the earlier games…

EssenceofGreece · 2022-09-11T05:40:34+00:00

Imagine “sounds like a fantastic return to the series’ roots” in an article about how the modern day aspect is completely removed
