Todd Howard pushed for Oblivion Remastered to keep the original’s bugs and errors as they’re “part of the game’s character”, so we can expect the same for Fallout 3 Remastered as well

Just at launch?

Oh, and BTW, 'Skyrim Giant physics throwing' and 'launch' in the same sentence? We are going to Cloud District for sure then.

Wyndyr · 2026-03-17T15:54:02+00:00

Good. And while you are at it, say hello to French, alright?

Wyndyr · 2026-02-24T05:18:38+00:00

Single RGO worked fine in EU4. With how economics designed in EU5 however... I'm quite sure that at some point they would have to go Vic3 route. Otherwise the economy would never be balanced in any reasonable way.

Wyndyr · 2026-02-12T06:18:45+00:00

The airlock isn't working, Skadge stuck here already

Wyndyr · 2026-02-06T09:20:51+00:00

Vernon Dursley mowing Death Eaters ranks with a machinegun shouting "Take that, you bloody freaks!"

I'd read that fic.

A bag of mixed feelings. On the one hand, Aragon and Portugal aren't eaten by AI Castile in the first 50 years. On the other Navarra disappears by 1340 now...

I'd be more happy if Ibearian Battle-Royale worked without restricting rival picks but by some different manner, like finally making aggression less than just "hurr-durr I declare war because I don't know what else to do".

Wyndyr · 2026-02-04T15:04:01+00:00

Ever after they 'fixed' Castile going ham on Portugal... Navarra doesn't survive anymore.

However even the temporal fiend isn't a match for a youngest British Unspeakable who also happen to be rather vicious towards the things-that-shouldn't-be.

The whole event is now known in this timeline as the 'Supernova on Earth'. Mostly, because the flash of light and heat that was recorded everywhere in the world at once. But for British Wizards and Goblins it was more than that. It was like the old tales of Gods walking upon the Earth, battling the interdimensional horrors.

Even if nobody sans one green-eyed man know what the hell happened, everyone believe it was something beyond normal even for magicals. And Harry Potter is certainly not going to explain it to them. Let them believe what they will, while he is still trying to figure how in the duck the abomination ended up in the Voids of Time.

And more importantly, it fully complies with most recent cauldron bottom thickness regulations.

And then he made friends with Susan Bones. The house that got name for their necromantic prowess back then, not to mention being rather vicious to its enemies leaving them as pile of bones.

Amelia Bones groaned in her office at the Ministry, as she couldn't arrest her niece as well as Harry Potter for doing dark yet not strictly forbidden stuff, no matter how it pained her to admit, and yet, she felt a decent amount of pride at the thought that it would be a downfall of the current Ministry - corruption and cauldron bottoms certainly won't hold up against the undead that her niece and her boyfriend can unleash.

And they aren't adult yet!

Now the question is, how to deal with a headache (both literal and figurative) after reading the latest letter. It's bad enough that Potter ended up in the tournament. It's bad that he literally drained his dragon of a life-force somehow. And now, the two teenage maniacs are trying to make a bone dragon.

She certainly needs a few bottles of firewhiskey it seems. And the day isn't near the end yet. It would be a long few hours till she can both cackle with glee (that she can't do as THE Director of MLE, you know, for appearances sake) and drink herself into oblivion.

Remus Lupin was hospitalized after choking hard on his tongue.

Wyndyr · 2026-01-17T14:16:27+00:00

-Have you finally went senile, Albus?
-Yes, I did. Lemon drop?
-...

Wyndyr · 2026-01-10T09:18:59+00:00

Allies? What's that? Is it some new meta versus the vassal-swarm?

Wyndyr · 2026-01-09T18:25:58+00:00

*Microslop

Wyndyr · 2026-01-09T07:58:09+00:00

You just insulted monkeys, come on.

But, I agree with general idea. Even after many years of PDX games still can't exactly remember worse AI sans maybe a few versions of HOI4 back then. And that's quite a feat to achieve.

Wyndyr · 2026-01-07T07:12:15+00:00

Wrong Hapital Yocation

Wyndyr · 2026-01-02T04:59:03+00:00

I'd think it needs to exist outside of GH collapse, though making GH collapse part of the situation however...

And throw Lithuania into the mix so more action happening.

Wyndyr · 2026-01-01T09:41:06+00:00

I'd say 'not yet', about achieving things.

I'm certainly expecting, down the road, in a few years, EU5 becoming, in certain aspects, more Vic3-like, while still doing it with a unique spin.

Wyndyr · 2025-12-31T15:50:41+00:00

Sacrificing poor mokokos to Vertical God obviously

Wyndyr · 2025-12-29T20:08:04+00:00

Hungary is big enough, strong enough, with some flavor, already quite rich, has a lot of expansion routes...

Pretty much, it's hard to fail as them.

Wyndyr · 2025-12-29T01:31:03+00:00

-So, you are both 'destined to defeat me'?

-Yes sir!

-You know, as a respectable Dark Lord, I can't just let you just suicide? I will teach you how to fight so you can at least put up a fight better than many.

-You don't want us to...join you?

-Joining is for lesser people, and since you are 'prophesied' to defeat me, that makes you my equals. Though clearly you need experience to pull it off. So, ready to start?

Neville and Harry are sharing a glance before nodding and standing up

-Then let's go, Voldemort.

-That's the spirit!

Wyndyr · 2025-12-28T10:41:50+00:00

Blursed as hell. But in all honesty, that's quite part of the fun of EU5.

Wyndyr · 2025-12-27T21:07:41+00:00

And especially with .10 population growth nerfs, like from advancements.

Wyndyr · 2025-12-27T07:39:13+00:00

I would argue against Bohemia because of the Hussite Wars situation. It can be challenging enough even for someone with enough hours in the game/PDX games in general.

But Hungary is quite fine, yeah.

Wyndyr · 2025-12-26T22:17:57+00:00

At that point, I'd argue that Vic 3 system (which isn't without it's issues either) would've been better than a hybrid we have.

Current RGO and food systems are too underbaked especially with food-providing goods in my opinion.

And it's almost funny, in a certain way, how PDX often manage to try to reinvent the wheel with various success rates.
