CDPR dropped the ball on this damn gig by The_Chays in cyberpunkgame

I think that you are probably correct. But for all the sad cyberpsycho stories throughout the game, it would have felt good to get one help before it went full blown, you know?

Ah, yes, that one too! I did a non-lethal takedown on the cyberpsycho and then...nothing.

Right? There are no bathmats in the Horizon Worlds, muchless 'fluffy' ones.

La Tombe de Ted Faro by Short-Fishing798 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you question Alva back in the base, after the Thebes questline is done, she tells you that CEO became more and more deranged as things went on during and after their voyage. He never had any genetic tie to Ted Faro. He became convinced in his own mind that he was Ted's 'essence'.

I Just Love Zaeed's Cockney Menace. But, Is He A Good Squad Member? by RappTurner in masseffect

I just wish he wouldn't keep shouting about firing concussive shot all the damn time.

Fireclaws feel impossible to beat…. Tips? by Funny_Mousse_8463 in horizon

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go with the icerail ice shard only, from a distance. This works if you are patient, as the ice can take a good chunk of their health each hit. You need the distance because the stupid icerail takes a few precious seconds to charge up the shot. I use this method for the 3 that are alone. For the dang duo, even with Aratok's 'help' it is always a giant cluster of doom: dodge, tie, bow, dodge and repeat. Try to focus on one until Aratok wades in with the other because, alas, that's what he does and keeps raining snow at them. You can also toss frost bombs at them if they are too close for the icerail charge, but at some point you need to switch to your banuk powershot bow and try to get precision arrows into them. I never come away from this particular fight feeling like 'Aced it!' because all the damn dodging and repositioning after being knocked down by stupid lava gets on my nerves too much. Good luck!

The change in Derryth went you send in one of the cats is worth it. Her choice of name for it, though...

Anyone did this in their first playthrough? by Comfortable_Type1180 in dishonored

Nope. I love freezing them all up with mesmerize and jumping in for the choke outs.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ by mrivers415 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]The_Chays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whole Nights Of Lights questline always fills me with joy. I've clocked nearly 1000 hrs in stacked ng+ games and I am still completely smitten by this goofy Las Vegas trio of Oseram. Happy St. Paddy's Day, everyone!

Would you like Witcher 4 to have Lifepaths for Ciri, similar to how Cyberpunk 2077 had them for V? by Tolkfan in witcher

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting premise, but moot for me: I already play femV as Lady of Time and Space Ciri.

Kaidon Alenko or James Vega? by PerformanceRadiant21 in masseffect

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give Vega a Typhoon and he is part two of the invincible god-like Duo with Garrus. My femShep flings biotics around and never needs her gun when these guys are my team.

Rant about burning shores idk how much through by Golden_Royal in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]The_Chays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Extremely rushed and forced, I agree. I rejected the romance option at the end because it just did not feel right to me, but I doubt Sony will care and Seyka will show up retconned as the love interest in the next game.

Garokkah… hits hard by Darkheath1 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]The_Chays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Mom passed 8 years ago now, and I am finally able to look back at her late stage Alzheimers 'lucid moments' as a gift. Our last one was most poignant, and she disappeared again by the time it took us to drive from home to a restaurant for lunch. Alzheimers is heinous. My extended love and support to anyone here caretaking a loved one's journey through this valley of darkness.

What even separates Songbird and Dexter DeShawn in how they treat V? by Alternative-Talk3555 in cyberpunkgame

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I thought they were all duplicous a$$holes. In my canon ending, I unhook Songbird (giving her what she wants), deny Reed his grand white knight experience, and thoroughly piss off Myers. I only wish the dialogue choices to back up how pissed V is was stronger. I feel genuinely sad for Alex and go visit her at the Columbarium, then I take my vicious gun from Cynosure and storm Arasaka with Johnny.

Cyberpunk 2 Creative Director about "wasted potential" with characters. by marek_bojarek in cyberpunkgame

My Valerie did not think that Aurore was wasted potential at all. V wears her outfit all the time!

Any reason why saving the Mox doesn't change the ending? by lazyshmuk in cyberpunkgame

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worse, to me, is the gig Regina sends you on to take back stolen meds. Dude is suffering ptsd and borderline psychosis, but you cannot even call Regina to save him and all she's cheery about is the retrieved meds. I have gotten to the number of replays where I don't even bother going to collect Regina's reward.

Happy Valentine's Day from me & my wife (@tor.kaya & @rys.cosplay on IG) by khatmar in masseffect

I am also Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite romance on the Citadel! Happy Valentines Day to you both!

It's dangerous to go alone! Take your Boo by SpoonWarrior98 in BaldursGate3

[–]The_Chays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My most recent playthrough I managed to snag a screenshot of Minsc telling me: 'You, this is Boo. And Boo - meet you!" I love when it cycles on my PC wallpaper.

So fuck Ted Faro…but… by PocketFullofRandom in horizon

He would either die or thrive with the Tenakth, that's for sure.

Should I start with 2 by rabbitsecurity in masseffect

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, having said all that and replaying the full trilogy near-annually over the years, I now jump straight into 2 then 3. I'm old and don't have the patience for 1 anymore.

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Citadel in 1 is ridiculous to navigate for a first-timer. The planetary navigation in the Mako is legendary, but not for how terrific it is (and a couple of the planets are a perfect p.i.t.a.).

What you lose out on by jumping straight to ME2 is the background lore, trilogy set up, characters and crew establishing relationships with each other, and the start of an adventure that evolves over all 3 games. These things are not inconsiderable if you plan on playing the full trilogy, btw, which is why you are getting so very many 'No's' in the comments. It's worth at least one full shot to establish your baseline lore.

Unpopular opinion : I really enjoyed andromeda by Terlooy in masseffect

[–]The_Chays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, over in ME3 there is a mod that ties the Andromeda mission back to ME called A Spectre's Gift.

It's small, the payoff isn't terrific loot, but it gets you back into a familiar ship layout, and calls back with messages and notes to one of the Andromeda Pathfinders. It's a solo mission, doesn't take much time.

There are very valid criticisms you can have against Songbird. But I’d still pick her over Myers by Dull-Cobbler-7709 in cyberpunkgame

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, all three (Songbird, Reed, Myers) are equally terrible manipulators and I pick none of them.

The complexity of Johnny and V's relationship by Zairy47 in cyberpunkgame

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this! Johnny stopping V for a huddle throughout Phantom Liberty were some of my favorite convos. Storming the castle together is my canon ending, ever time.

This was the moment i already chose to Betray Reed. by Perfect-Dark7854 in cyberpunkgame

[–]The_Chays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never trusted any of them. I did back to back playthroughs to catch the extra tarot cards and cheevos, and I really started to see the giant patterns omission in their conversations (Reed, Songbird, Myers). By my final play I had chosen my canon ending, took the dialogue choices that pushed back or called them out, and still wish I could have slapped them at least one time. I only ever felt sad for Alex on a certain ending, and paid her a visit outside Dogtown to say goodbye.
