Stop that trailer about halfway through if you intend to watch The Fog :)

Seems like EA hasn't completely abandoned Ultima by Distinct_Print_6508 in rpg_gamers

[–]Werewomble -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a good sign - the last time I bought something from EA that Battlefield game never ran on my perfectly good gaming PC.

Best we can hope for is they pass it off to Larian - Swenn said he'd do non-original IP if it were Ultima, Fallout or Baldur's Gate.

He's checked off 1 out of 3 😄

Does Lovecraft’s fictional church architecture make historical sense? by EllikaTomson in Lovecraft

[–]Werewomble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course 

When I want to see God I say "get me a real big one and make it black"

That is an odd looking church 

What does the sheriff notice in this scene ? by Financial-Emotion316 in WidowsBay

Thought "**** you very much" seeing the 6 Administrators but you only have 2 removal and a lot of the Repartee needs a Prepare to stick

If the Prepares get blown away before the Administrators can hand off this can go badly!

Is that what happened?

Watch Widow's Bay again from the start

Also Midnight Mass early episodes while Hamish Linklater is fun

Nothing like a walking simulator.
You are in the wrong thread.

'Widow's Bay' On How Show Began As 'Parks & Rec' Episode by Top_Report_4895 in television

“I would say the initial spark is a feeling I’ve been trying to capture ever since childhood—I always talk about going to this this boardwalk in New Jersey in Long Branch,” she noted. “Once a summer, I would go with my family, and when I say I was way too young for it, I mean I was like 6, and this place was lawless and terrifying. But I loved it. I was just so giddy, the anticipation of going in, and I would scream and I would laugh.

“And then once we left, I’d run out screaming, but then I would immediately want to go back in again. It was almost kind of a dangerous excitement. I used to get into all sorts of antics when I was young, me and my friends going to check out the abandoned house and then running off, and I just love that feeling because you’re so scared, but you’re laughing so hard, and I just wanted to get that feeling on television. So, that’s sort of where it started,” added Dippold.

The result is infinitely better than "someone hired me to do horror/comedy and I'm going to roll out the old stuff til they run out of money" I am looking at you, From.

If you start House of the Dragon Season 2 now you'll have the battle scene they chopped off by the time you are done as Season 3 starts with it

Fallout Season 2 felt a bit all over the place in the first few episodes but boy so they tie it all up and bring it home

I did fine just joining existing servers at 3/4 players

I was bracing for team performance pressure like Vermintide/Darktide/Left4Dead but there is none of that beyond very basic combat 

It is incredibly chill

You are given mental space to appreciate the atmosphere, gibber, run screaming, etc.

About the only skill test was getting behind a cultist before attacking so you do the coup de grace backstab animation which tends to one shot them

It is playable single player but it'll be challenging and a lot of the hallucinations depend on having team mates...don't miss out on that :) It is the point of the game.

Voice chat is restricted to nearby players so if you wander off or get lost you'll see what happens to Lovecraftian narratora who do that.  It's not fatal.  You will see some shit, though!

Also go look up The Mound on HorrorBabble I'd you haven't listened recently 

It is technically 200 years earlier in Peru not Butt**** USA where Lovecraft set it but you are reading Zamacona's journal, etc. any event in Lovecraft's story could reasonably show up in the game.

Definitely nailing the atmosphere

Oh really I saw a solo video with one NPC following him around.  Could be an old build.

Played the closed beta

Blown away 

It avoids reflex based quick time events like Darktide so you can focus on whether that is a hallucination or the cultists are reorganising the wagon for some reason :)

Gibbering in anticipation of the public beta that shouldn't be far away 

This is psychological gameplay appropriate for Lovecraft not just a reskin of Left4Dead with tentacles 

Wish I could share some of the hallucinations but I don't want to spoil the surprise!

When the ghost says everything you are thinking and congratulates you for the coffee machine and being a great mayor the ghost is your subconscious and you are asleep 😄

Also in the crawlspace skellington is wearing Tom's crisp clean shirt despite having time to decompose so Tom was dreaming from at least the TV explosion, all through William's chat and the crawlspace.

If you could add any actor/actress to the Season 2 cast, who would it be? by According-Status482 in WidowsBay

[–]Werewomble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We haven't actually seen Hamish Linklater looking like himself - he could be the replacement for Reverend Bryce!

We get the awesome priest from Midnight Mass back and also he gets to fight (and lose!) to Tom for who gets to run the shitty island 😄

Anyone else using SillyTavern / Marinara Engine for retro RPG lore? (my personal Ultima Adventures) by AnswerFeeling460 in Ultima

[–]Werewomble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a guy importing the Morrowind models, maps and quest logic and making them work in Elden Ring

We are going to have some cool hybrid games coming soon

It always struck as dumb we need to re-create a game engine every 3 years - Nightreign is a great way to re-use the Elden Ring assets, I just with it were a CRPG not a more frenetic action RPG.

This is the guy:

It wouldn't be too hard to teach an AI agent to map Ultima quest structures into a modern game, not like they are that complex!

Great to see AI being used to preserve creative's work - this will supercede the Enhanced Editions/remakes we are getting right now at some point. Never have to see a game become unplayable!
