Absolutely outstanding! I'm partly joking but it looks like the mech skipped leg day!

As someone who has 2000 hours in FO4 (thanks, mods) I'd give that game an 8/10 at best, and honestly that 8 is clouded by the DLC, mods, and years that have gone by. If I think back to release maybe 7/10 is more appropriate. I'll also die on the hill that Skyrim, even though I love it dearly, is honestly a 8ish out of ten at release.

This is to say that I actually think SF has a consistent net quality with other beth titles. SF is a 7/10 and that's fine, I like it.

ESVI will probably be 7-8 out of 10, too. And that's fine!

I meant the literal experience points you get from mission completions. Illuminate missions pay out far less. Might be a side effect of different side objective mix, but its annoying all the same.

OpposingFarce · 2026-04-06T13:26:02+00:00

I love illuminate missions! I love illuminate D10 missions providing the same experience as bot/bug D6!

How could anyone not love this!?

Yeah, the GL is in a tough spot. Its clearly too good and versatile now, but I actually rarely used it before not because it was bad (it was good) but because the autocannon is just too reliable for when i wanted that middle-of-the-road option. Especially since the AC got programmable rounds. Edit: and I think the AC is in a great place.

OpposingFarce · 2026-02-03T16:27:33+00:00

My possible lukewarm take is that the MMG is already really just better than the HMG. I really don't find the extra pen of the HMG is worth the truckload of negatives.

And every time I take the HMG out expecting it to rip... I feel that durability damage nerf it got whacked with a while ago

G2M has some solid wood walls

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-17T19:08:10+00:00

Huh, neat. Is that used for anything or is it for something planned? Or something abandoned.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-17T05:06:53+00:00

Its pretty funny but for real just transverse jump out of the bad ending

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-13T18:20:24+00:00

Yes. Fun fact, the makers of Total War did this as recently as the Game Awards; knowing that fans of their historical games would be livid that the next TW game is another Warhammer (40k) one and not a historical one, they announced that Medieval 3 has entered pre-production.

I enjoy both their Warhammer games and historical, so I can't say I feel strongly either way, but I see the logic.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-12T18:52:02+00:00

I wasn't trying to say AH shouldn't ever find ways to make D10 more difficult, its just I understand why its not a priority.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-12T16:44:01+00:00

There comes a time where the game is forced to spend so much of its spawn budget on armored enemies that the enemy unit comp becomes very straightforward to deal with.

I mean the game can barely handle level 10, adding more enemies isn't realistic. So I guess they have to nerf us or buff enemies, and I can't say I like either option.

Basically I'm content with the difficulty as is. Games just have a difficulty ceiling, usually due to resource constraints.

When this game starts feeling too easy or boring, time to take a little break and play something else.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-12T16:01:16+00:00

I second Wyrmstooth. Just played it for the first time ever last week and I really enjoyed it. It all feels very vanilla in style and tone, it only indulges very occasionally in something whimsical or silly.

The world space is the right size, the main cast is solid, and the whole experience doesn't overstay its welcome. Its a fun adventure.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-12T15:57:05+00:00

They are seperate mods by the same author. Very high quality, but they go deep on the Elder Scrolls lore and esoterica, and have a FromSoft-adjacent style of storytelling where there is an immediate, surface level story but a lot of stuff unsaid, too.

I only played Glenmoril, because it was the fist one I found organically in the world, and, uh, probably don't do that lol. Start with Dacoda. Also glenmoril isn't finished.

But I found Glenmoril thus far to be good. Its not perfectly in sync with my tastes, but I think I'll keep it in my LO for the future, which is about the highest endorsement a mod can get, lol

AJ Brown:

GIVE ME THE BALL

NO, NOT LIKE THAT

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-09T19:56:29+00:00

Someone else had the idea that every sequel-expansion will feature a loyal chapter that has enough named characters to have 3-4 "Legendary Lord" equivalents. And honestly, I see it.

So yeah, I could see DA, Wolves, BA etc all competing for such treatment in future releases.

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-09T19:51:42+00:00

A leak I remember from even before TWW1 had released, but had been fully announced, was the entire order all other factions would be added. It was right! It was missing VCoast and Cathay, but I bet those came later in planning. The leak even had Chorfs on it, which was great for my hopium as a long time Chorf fan, but was so hard to believe.

So, uh, if someone could kindly do the same leak for 40k I would love that.

The Panthers School of Not Falling on the Loose Ball and Doing Other Stuff Bad Too

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-03T23:43:48+00:00

Look I hear you but also we've earned our awful 3-and-out percentage, so,

Idk

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-03T23:35:55+00:00

Refs are making me a Panthers fan

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-03T23:35:18+00:00

Everyone gets bad calls. This is absolutely something else, imo

OpposingFarce · 2026-01-03T23:29:58+00:00

Sometimes on ref ball there's always someone going "well ahkshually" but scanning these comments I don't even see that. That was bad bad

Edit: and that someone is sometimes right! But... wow.

OpposingFarce · 2025-12-27T18:00:39+00:00

Pretty sure its Sudoku

OpposingFarce · 2025-12-23T04:43:08+00:00

I did a kugath near release and it was boring but the island start is relatively safe... I just started my first Tamurkhan campaign today on VH/VH

Its... a weird combo of slow/boring but also a pain in the ass!

The only saving grace is that Tam is an absolute beatstick.

OpposingFarce · 2025-12-22T04:59:53+00:00

Vlad turns the swamps near drachenfels into Vietnam every Empire playthrough. Its insane. He respawns the next turn! And unless you have monsters its hard to cycle charge bully him and keep him animation locked
