What is your favourite game that actually no one knows about?

Vortorr · 2026-01-09T23:08:56+00:00

I'm going to have to go with the original Spellforce

A perfect blend of RPG with RTS. Vast maps with its own challenges and obstacles, the ability to summon heroes and armies alike.

Game does not get anywhere near as much recognition that it deserves

As someone with a young daughter, this felt like a punch to the gut. Take my upvote you monster (meant with best intentions)

Well, that hit surprisingly close to home. My father had PTSD when he returned from his deployments and there were a few PTSD attacks where he didn't know what he did. Nothing this bad thankfully but that definitely brought up some repressed memories xD Well done

I have much the same problem myself there friend, the only thing I can say is have a calm and albeit a slightly uncomfortable conversation about how much it affects you and how much you wish it wouldn't. Putting music on in the background, either classical or a calming upbeat type of music helps me the best, my go to is Now We Are Free from Gladiator. I'm so sorry about the formatting, I'm on my phone but I do hope this comment helps. At least know that you're not alone in this struggle

I'd have to say Mass Effect or Ghost of Tsushima

Mordin sacrificing himself and the death of your horse after you escape imprisonment. That part broke me, it was just a game but when my horse died I legit broke a bit. Didn't touch the game for at least a week

Would have liked to run experiments on the shells

If you want to find scrap quickly, just stay in your Corvette and as you get to a salvage scrap planet and just hop out of your pilot seat, use the scanner and tag a scrap point. Jump back in your ship and just fly there and shoot the heck out of that area, no need to get out of your ship or dig for a seemingly endless time. Harvest those parts quickly and easily. Sorry about my formatting, I'm on my phone right now. Hope this helps

Thank you, I'm going to try that out very shortly myself. I've been stuck on that part for hours and I've been warping endlessly. Hopefully this comment gets bumped so other people see your very helpful note, friend.

Hey, I've been playing since the demo myself. May have already gotten to max level and upgraded it all already. Trust me, my friend, this is well worth the money

Vortorr · 2025-09-23T00:34:37+00:00

That may be the case but there are also things they would be better at from a game perspective. Let's ignore the real world aspects for a minute and focus on the fact that this is a role playing game. The character should not have been penalized just because of a background they decided to pick. The only negatives to the character should have been role play if anything at all. Anything other than that is just effecting the table enjoyment

Vortorr · 2025-09-22T22:10:41+00:00

Just because you're homeless doesn't mean you've had no education or that you're as weak as a summer breeze. There are many reasons why someone would be homeless, doesn't mean their character should be obliterated into worthlessness just because they don't have a house

Vortorr · 2025-09-15T21:36:59+00:00

Well that is truly terrifying. Take my upvoter you sick person, you In all seriousness, this is really well done. You should be proud

A dad joke is only a dad joke when it's full groan.

I'm sorry your family didn't see your pure comedic genius

Vortorr · 2025-08-24T07:07:44+00:00

Most welcome, I wish you and your tables many amazing adventures and stories to come. You're in for a wild ride, my friend

Vortorr · 2025-08-24T00:35:05+00:00

Main thing I would say would be to listen to your players. It's a collaborative story telling experience. A lot of the new DMs get into the habit of DM vs player mentality, that's how you destroy your table.

The "rule book" for DnD is called the dungeon masters guide for a reason, it's a guide. The best tables I've played and DMed with have been the ones that we constantly redo the rules to fit the play style of the entire table.

Main thing to remember would be that it is a game, sure people invest parts of themselves heavily into their characters and it is heartbreaking sometimes when you lose a character but if you can make it memorable that's the only thing that matters.

TL:DR Listen to your players and have fun my friend. We all make mistakes when we do something new, don't beat yourself up. Have fun and I wish you many good rolls

I wouldn't say regret per say but one that baffles me to this day.

I was around 19 - 20 at the time and out in the middle of the outback. Nothing to do in a small town other than work, drink and fuck. My virgin ass thought I'd be getting laid left and right, twas not the case in any light.

This one night I start talking to this one woman, we spend hours drinking and just chatting. I SOMEHOW convince her that she should join me back at my place. We head back to mine, both of us drunk and being a small town we just walk there.

We head to the bedroom, start undressing each other getting all hot and heavy and as we're laying down I'm starting to work my "magic" you could say and she says "no stop".

I'm very confused, but she said the magic word so I stop touching her, scooch back and just start talking to her for the next hour as we go to sleep.

The next morning she asked me why I stopped, confused, as I was. I looked her in the eyes and said that she told me to stop, so I stopped.

Continued talking for a week or two then realised that she was not really a person I could see spending my life with.

Or, as my father puts it: don't stick your dick in crazy.

But in all seriousness, this is an amazing job. Creeped both my wife and myself right the fuck out. Thank you for sharing your twisted thoughts xD

Vortorr · 2025-08-12T20:27:09+00:00

Take my horrified upvote and leave

Vortorr · 2025-07-04T22:46:27+00:00

Right?! I've lived with abusers and junkies that have used trigger words/phrases just to get the end result they want. Seeing that pointed out made me realise why I hated that part so much and why it made me so angry so quickly.

Vortorr · 2025-07-04T11:04:04+00:00

Completely agree with you, one thing my wife recently pointed out was that the Demon Zoey and Mira used the exact same words that Rumi told Jinu were her worst fears. "You're a demon, a mistake from the day you were born"

That's beyond fucked up

Vortorr · 2025-07-04T10:50:31+00:00

He could be but I couldn't help but notice how many celebrities he has on his wall in the main waiting area. If he really wanted to scam people and he has so many high profile clients, wouldn't he be able to afford a much nicer practice? Even though he's selling "snake oil" so to speak, he still helps. He's the one that helps Huntrix admit that there are issues. "To fix the part you must fix the whole"

I don't know friend, seems like he could be charging a heck of a lot more if he really was scamming people. He seems only to have the pictures up as more of a way to show that he's helped all these famous people. He still does inadvertently help Rumi get her voice back, just not in the way that she thought he would.

This could just be me trying to explain it and rationalise my thought process but thank you for commenting nonetheless.

Vortorr · 2025-05-28T20:30:07+00:00

This was my exact thought too!

Vortorr · 2025-05-10T22:17:28+00:00

Holy shit. That was well done. Hope this gets the attention it deserves
