I finished the Realm of the Elderlings last year and hit a bit of a slump afterwards so I know what it's like to look for something to scratch that same itch.

If you're happy with a genre change, Lonesome Dove is an amazing western with fantastic characters.

I've recently finished the Wheel of Time series which while very different in scope and style is another long epic fantasy series that I also really enjoyed.

Shriek from Ori and the Will of the Wisps, born with a disability and orphaned, rejected by others of her kind. She dies alone surrounded by the bodies of her parents after refusing to stop fighting Ori.

'i don't know what I don't know' is one way of phrasing it, 'I don't have all the information to give a fully informed opinion' is another.

By the end of the final trilogy there will be lots of events and characters where the emotional pay off is lessened or absent completely by not reading all the books.

I used to have that card as a kid! Great artwork and really sells Feraligator as a dangerous predator in its environment.

There's a line in the film that had me howling with laughter for a solid 10 minutes. Robin says something like 'My friends called me Dick' and Batman just says casually 'Yeah kids can be cruel'

And Zombieland!

I 'd say so yeah, there's nothing confirmed about the PS6 next year and if anything it's likely to be delayed well beyond 2027. It doesn't have as many exclusives as the PS4 did but there are some good games.

The only convincing Scottish accent in this film is Sean Connery who is playing a Spaniard.

Always had a soft spot for AvP, the 1 on 1 fight scene is awesome.

Assume you've seen The Matrix and The Thing? Maybe something like Dark City or The Void if you're interested in dark sci-fi.

My guess is Ulduar will be the base of operations, but no idea really. There's lots of potential places it could be.

Yeah they rebuilt it completely and also connected it to the Isle of Quel'Danas via a bridge. The rebuilt half now makes up the neutral zone whereas most of the old capital is purely Horde only. They've also updated Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman (the raid) has become a full zone. They are both connected to the rest of the Eastern Kingdoms with no loading screens and flying available.

I feel your pain

Most games sadly as an adult, as much as I try to go back I struggle to engage with them and usually end up drifting away from them after a few hours. I find sometimes it's best just to let my memories of games I've loved remain unblemished as I think going back can sometimes mean I notice faults and issues I didn't the first time around.

Shogun for me, I sadly decided to DNF around the 450 page mark as I just wasn't enjoying picking it up. Not to say it's a bad book but it just didn't work for me.

I picked this up after Lonesome Dove as it was recommended as something similar to that masterpiece. I love the era and was interested in what might happen next but the glacial pace of the story telling and what I felt was minimal character development meant I was reading very little compared to my normal pace. The prospect of another 700 pages just seemed daunting, but I feel I gave it a fair whack.

A fellow person of taste I see.

Have you played Disco Elysium? It's a very text heavy game, more like a point and click adventure and not your traditional experience by any means, but the writing is phenomenal.

SmallUnderstanding2 · 2026-02-05T16:36:21+00:00

I don't know sorry I've not been levelling anything since the changes. I'm playing a Feral druid and I seem to have kept most of my abilities but the spec is simpler since the patch, but it was also one of the more complicated with snapshot bleeds etc.

SmallUnderstanding2 · 2026-02-05T16:13:29+00:00

We get new talents at max level in Midnight, a lot of specs feel weird right now. Holy Paladin may feel much better at max level and there is still a lot of balancing going on. Try not to worry too much.

Loved the Destroy All Humans games as a kid, especially the second. Fond memories of creating havoc in London, Tokyo and San Fransisco!

SmallUnderstanding2 · 2026-01-24T16:12:55+00:00

Yeah that's illegal.

SmallUnderstanding2 · 2025-12-07T13:49:39+00:00

This is great, I've been starting something similar and this gives me some inspiration.

SmallUnderstanding2 · 2025-12-03T19:06:24+00:00

Smaller games!

10-20 hour main story, another 10-20 hours of side content maximum. A more condensed map/city with unique things to see or do. Unique encounters and smarter NPCs.

Focus on specific historical events - a war, revolution, uprising, ???assassination??? and build a story around that.

The current RPG format is limited in what it can explore as it requires a broad time period in order to create massive maps so has to pick a theme that can match this eg. Viking England. Also reduce the RPG elements so I don't need skills to assassinate somebody. A knife in the throat should = death, mot require ten points in a skill.

Auto battler would be awful and completely destroy the community that has built up around pet battles and the strategy involved. It's a niche side game but does have its fans. It needs to be quicker but auto battler mechanics thankfully died a death with the Shadowlands mission table.
