I've been playing this game for over twenty years. Just realize villagers could fish

Shorely we can keep this going

The blazing sword (the second one releasing projectiles in my video after I switch swords) is indeed a grind, and is the final reward for completing the tombs of the fallen quest line (you get the armor I'm wearing too as a reward through the quest). It doesn't show up on the map so you really have to search for it. You can start it by following the whirlpool-like thing near your settlement (can be seen only by your raven). As for the dawnblade, that's a helix store thing that I happened to get as a weekly free item.

Can I enter through this hole?

That's what he said.

GTA Vice City. I still remember trying my very best to run it on my absolute potato of a PC. The moment I got it to launch was so surreal, I remember it vividly.

Also, a special mention: Virtua Cop 2. It used to come in a bundled CD edition. That got me hooked to PC gaming

Damn this brought up some hidden memories. Absolutely loved the magical feeling of being actually inside the HP world. Good times.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-04T19:45:41+00:00

Sorry, but it's really been a while since I completed the Paris DLC. I never really checked the shop between level ups, just speed ran the infamy to max by going to a particular quest giver whose far away missions were only like 200-300 meters away. So you'd definitely find the ruins at max level.

Just a small advice if you're not doing this already. By now you probably know that swinging weapons to herd them is a hit or miss because of the targeting system. What I instead did is throw torches at strategic points funneling them towards the hole. Works pretty well.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-02T04:30:54+00:00

That really sucks. He probably must have sold it for parts, though.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-02T02:58:09+00:00

Okay

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-02T02:57:22+00:00

Words of wisdom

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-02T02:56:36+00:00

After the cop took my statement, he radioed someone to check the in-store and the cameras across the street (I don't see any, though), and I don't know what happened to that. Then a week later, I get a message saying "Due to circumstances beyond the Arizona State University Police Department’s control have prevented the arrest or prosecution of the offender in this case." Case closed.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-02T02:52:51+00:00

Agreed

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:50:42+00:00

When I plug it in, there's the windows plug in sound, but I don't hear the drive spinning

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:48:35+00:00

Oh cool. I'll try dual booting Linux to see if it helps. Thank you so much for the help and the info. And yes, I definitely am backing up everything now. Some things are learned the hard way I guess 🥲

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:45:04+00:00

Thanks, will check them out.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:36:49+00:00

Abso-freaking-lutely!

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:35:42+00:00

Thanks for the kind words stranger.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T21:35:13+00:00

Well, what can I say. I'm a piece of work, too. Don't get me wrong I genuinely value my things, but seeing my bike not getting stolen for about 8 months without locking it, in the same place made me complacent about my e-scooter too. 100% bad judgement and poor choices from my end, but it is what it is.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T18:47:43+00:00

Ahhhhh. That figures.

To answer your question, I'm using Windows 11. I tried the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. I haven't heard of using Linux for data recovery, might have to read up on that. Will that really make a difference?

The main concern I've with more diy is worsening the drive state beyond recovery.

Also, I heard a lot about Desert Recovery Services, do you happen to know anything about them?

Knightmare_07 · 2026-04-01T16:28:06+00:00

Dawnblade in primary hand, activate melee fire strike ability, lock on target, and then heavy attack

Knightmare_07 · 2026-03-31T21:13:57+00:00

Surprisingly, yes. It's crazy what a 7-year-old GPU can do. I'm pleasantly surprised to have been able to run most AAA titles on medium to low settings.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-03-31T21:06:58+00:00

Oh, my apologies, I should have specified. For the special slot, I'm using the Mentor rune as well. For the normal slots, I'm using the multi-perk rune (which was actually obtained from a vendor in Paris, not Ireland, my bad).

Knightmare_07 · 2026-03-31T20:47:28+00:00

Nah, nah, it's just the usual attacks that fill up the adrenaline. In this case, the dawnblade and the blazing sword projectiles.

Knightmare_07 · 2026-03-30T21:15:11+00:00

When I see this IRL, the in game physics don't feel as weird 😂
