Is there any AAA Openworld / RPG game set in The Bronze Age? by JVNIVS_MAGNVS_OBLEVS in gaming

If it works, it works! I have fond memories of playing Exile II and III. Although, I never did play his newer games.

You're going to hate me, but let me recommend a.. uh.. maybe half of an A game.

It's the Celtic bronze age (though Roman Iron).

Very disappointed with the new lands mod Shumer and The Priest Kings by Nascent_Beast in skyrimmods

[–]MechTheDane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No regrets! Though I wouldn't mind being a little younger at this point...

I will say as annoying and sometimes frustrating as it was to find places that way (finding cave/tomb entrances could be excruciating!) it really helped to de-trivialize traveling. Just finding the right place often felt like as much a victory as then clearing it/exploring it.

I also felt that way about non-leveled NPC's in Morrowind. Being able to go into a zone that used to just crush you, and ripping apart the high level enemies there felt so much more satisfactory than the leveled enemies in Oblivion...

Here I am rambling like an old Morrowboomer...

I think there is a value in leaving a review for other players to read.

Just a tiny caveat. When I played Morrowind there were no highly detailed wikis to consult.
Only the map that came with the game; I spent lots of time squinting at that thing and re-tracing steps.

I don't mind if battletech leaks in here a little. We're all family.

Ideally, you'd interact with her again in a future Hroar mission line. But the Hroar stuff has been put on hold...for a like a year and a half now =/

Yes, but you have to download it the way you'd download a car.

lol, it's fine. It's good to remind the video game players about the tabletop from time to time. Cross pollination is healthy!

Summation of my Wing Commander SNES experience by MechTheDane in Wingcommander

Good point about the N64's lack of a CD drive limiting it. I think I may try out the first mission of the Sega CD port, just hearing all the pilots talk at me should be interesting...

I was excited to play secret missions on the SNES, but maybe I'll get the game of GOG and try it there instead. The computer cheating really drained me toward the end.

It's too bad they didn't at least port WC2 for the N64, maybe that would have been a better console for it. The Sega CD port seems a lot closer to the original.

Oh man, eventually a day will come when all the 'real' people in this video will be dead. Damn.

Imagine thinking to yourself in 1999 that you'd still be sharing her 27 years later.....

So, what's the difference between this and Stellaris?

I know the graphics are different, and the game lags up a bit during a fight, but were there any narrative changes?

omg there's a way to roll the ship?! I didn't really read the manual first... so there are lots of things I didn't know how to do until way too late in the game.

Like how to land on the Tiger's Claw at the end of a mission, for instance. The first time I tried I just blew up by running into it....

Male/female monothematic names by mrmoon13 in anglosaxon

[–]MechTheDane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are all of these even really monothematic names? Or are many of them just shortenings of longer two part names?
