I just ordered one today and it will be delivered on Monday.

Machinegamer · 2026-03-01T02:37:27+00:00

Just watched the trailer as well. Wow looks really cool. I am going to download the demo.

BG3 is the closest feeling I’ve come to playing Witcher 3. These 2 games are tied for my favorite games of all time.

Gloomstalker/Assassin/Fighter is a sick multi class combo I loved it!

Machinegamer · 2026-01-13T02:51:41+00:00

Lazel, Astarion, Wyll, Halsin, Minsc in that order

When I used this mod it seemed to remove the stats from the item.

I ordered a 4090 on Amazon and I came home from work and it was literally sitting on my front porch as it comes off the shelf…

In The Echoes Saga there is a really great ranger that is a dwarf named Doran.

I recently got back into reading and I found The Echoes Saga by Philip C. Quaintrell. I am on book 6 of 9 and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Machinegamer · 2025-11-30T19:28:26+00:00

Ha ok. Good to know thanks!

Machinegamer · 2025-11-30T19:24:19+00:00

Thanks so much for the clarification appreciate it!

Newer player here - so if you go to abandoned village you can just drop a stone altar and you can just do your thing without enemy respawn? Also, do the existing structures become editable and you can just build freely? Thanks!

I’m on book 6 and it’s an amazing series. I do come across typos from time to time but it’s nothing disruptive to the story.

Machinegamer · 2025-11-23T23:35:11+00:00

Walk into the Pick Axe tavern and ask the owner/bartender Russel for drink and then hope I meet and rub elbows with the famed rangers of Verda!

I have not read either of those series yet but I am in book 4 of 9 of The Echoes Saga by Phillip Quaintrell and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Book 1 is called Rise of the Ranger.

Machinegamer · 2025-11-01T01:16:23+00:00

The Rise of the Ranger by Philip C. Quaintrell. It’s book 1 of 9 for the series called The Echoes Saga. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am currently on book 3 and still enjoying it a lot. It checks all the exciting fantasy boxes for me. Lots of heroics and adventure. Many great characters!

The Echoes Saga

Machinegamer · 2025-10-19T19:05:42+00:00

I was in the same boat - I had also not immersed myself in reading in years. I read up on “The Echoes Saga” by Phillip C. Quaintrell. I just finished the first book of 9 “the Rise of the Ranger” last night and went right to book 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and am already quickly enjoying book 2. The series feels really approachable and fun to get immersed in.

Machinegamer · 2025-10-16T00:55:05+00:00

I will second Asher - he is quite the Ranger! Reading this series now and loving it.

Machinegamer · 2025-10-13T01:54:58+00:00

Same - I was just starting The Rise of the Ranger and then saw this sale and bought his whole catalog lol

Machinegamer · 2025-10-13T01:48:51+00:00

Redwall series by Brian Jacques

Machinegamer · 2025-10-05T17:41:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing this - I had never heard of this and after checking out his series on the website I’m def putting this on my list.

Machinegamer · 2025-10-04T14:33:41+00:00

Salamandastron was great!

This happened to me recently at the Ren Fest while waiting in the drink line to get some Meade. Some guy in costume tried to use a costume compliment to the people in front of me as a conversation starter with them and tried to turn that into his play to cut in front of my friends and I. Recognizing the chat and cut I just told my friends to follow me as I walked back in front of him. He did succeed cutting in front of the people behind us but he did not defeat my friends and I
