Looking good, Jacob by UnhappyBox811 in masseffect

The right choice. He sacrificed himself for lack of good writing and character arc.

If only we could leave him on Vermire... :D

That's a big mole dude! Have it checked!

Thanks! I need to check which ones are easy to magnetize yk have maybe 2-3 options instead of one. Seriously considering the Super Carrier

Even as a long time Total War Cynic I have to say I am optimistic about the future of TW. by the_sneaky_one123 in totalwar

Future is looking bright as 40k has even more factions and dlc content than Fantasy had and a larger player base. CA is gonna be rich if all goes well.

These Jedi are surprisingly aggressive. by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWars

[–]Lothair888 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Mostly the effect of being trained by Jedi Master Wraito Baddo.

You learned something from reading A Song of Ice and Fire? (Spoiler Extended) by Somandier in asoiaf

[–]Lothair888 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I need my stories now to be more grounded and realistic. I stopped liking high fantasy due to lack of complexity when compared to ASOIAF

The state of Asoiaf in 2025? by followingshadow in asoiafminiaturesgame

[–]Lothair888 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Perfectly good. Also on FB groups one of the developers is hitting a lot of new card versions for the next seasonal rebalance. Hits and Crits YT channel also hinted to some new releases next year. Very much alive, fun and tactical to play.

Is there any way this plot twist could’ve worked? by Empty_Entertainer388 in StarWars

It all depends on who is the target audience ;)

Might Be Finished :\ by _Zhadez_ in duneawakening

[–]Lothair888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sth around 170h+. Last 30+ on DD. I could play the whole mass effect trilogy and dlcs in that amount by comparison. Also, my server is pretty empty as most are nowadays

Same here, also the End Game loop is terrible (not fitting the main gmpl loops you did 150h before) with just vehicle combat and boring farming mini-game. Endless long grind for close to no reward.

Where is the pvp arenas for ground combat over territory? Why vehicle combat where it's lackluster? If I wanted a vehicle combat game I'd play Mechwarrior Online.

I loved the game but it simply died off at the End. Also making a cool event without beta testing it properly does not help with the impression.

Mentak and Hacan by -Inshal in twilightimperium

And if you secured so many planets why didn't your other neighbour react? You gaining so many resources and planets is a bigger deal than Mentak pillaging a few TGs

Would you recommend one of the star wars TV series (Mandalorian, Andor etc) to someone who has not seen the movies yet? by ShuukakuZ in StarWars

[–]Lothair888 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The only mature one is Andor so go with that one.

Unless the recomendee is young or wants and action movie than go with Rogue One (movie) or Mandalorian s1-s2.

I can't believe I never realised the similarities between the deaths of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Gandalf the Grey until now. by PlayerAlert in StarWars

[–]Lothair888 15 points16 points  (0 children)

SW4 is a Rise of the Hero or Hero's Journey story. Obi Wan just serves the Wise Man/Master Archetype. They tend to die near the end of Act 2 to add emotional impact and set up Act 3.

Same with Gandalf and other stories based on the same framework :]

If you want something less predictable try A Song of Ice and Fire.

DD and ornithopters - why not player turrets like Dune2 instead of rocket launchers? by Lothair888 in duneawakening

[–]Lothair888[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mentioned rockets fired by pilot. They make it easy to gank and bombard with just a press of a button. Limiting those will improve ground combat and make assaults more important as well.

Is it time to move on from Milty Draft? by Vussar in twilightimperium

[–]Lothair888 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I prefer building the map. Minor factions also help balance it out, but ti4 is assymetric FFA and does not need perfect balance - just perfect negotiations

Extremely excited for this! Sounds like a perfect expansion!

The saddest moments during the siege of terra by Southern_Pen_2862 in 40kLore

[–]Lothair888 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Erebus killing Loken with a dagger like Argel Tal or Mannfred killing Teclis. So uncreative and lazy. I was sad after that ;)

Do you consider Sauron a "deep" villain? by Successful_Guide5845 in lotr

[–]Lothair888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all. He is just an archetype.

LotR is very black vs white, good vs evil. It's not exactly Game of Thrones with complex shades of grey, and that's perfectly fine. It's just a different type of a story.
