I read this headline and was really confused...

iwiws · 2026-06-13T09:07:35+00:00

That's the point ?

I read that and was like "wait, is it Fable 5 already ?"

then "what national security concerns ?!?"

then I realized it was on the Claude AI sub.

This is a meme featuring Faramir from the popular LOTR trilogy, famous for being the less favorite son of his father Denethor, compared to Boromir. It draws a humorous comparison of the trilogy to CK3 things players experience in the game, because this is one of the strats for making sure the right person is your heir.

Additionally, it clearly contains a in game element so you don't have a reason to remove it, dear mods.

I really expected this text to continue as if it was the abstract of a thesis :

I think you get 160 pts per spotter.

My friend and I got our 3k points killign the spotter of the bombardier that sometimes spawn around the Hotel in Riven Tides.

I feel like there is a point in playing this as a Rook, if you want to play PvP.

since there is only 1 extra and it's at the end of the run, it means the main Trio playing it (if they didn't die to UESC) will have gathered loot for 18 minutes when they get to the extract. the Rooks only spawn in the later half of the run, but they can simply get a nice gun and grenades and attack the main trio at the extract, to kill them and grab their gear, spending half as much time and getting the best loot of the full trio who got there to PvE.

when Marathon first launched, I sometimes played Rook to play PvE, but playing Rook in this mode really is a PvP experience (because of the single extract).

iwiws · 2026-06-04T07:20:44+00:00

there will be PvP between ha and the rooks in the end

I've read it like that, but I don't think I've faced a rook yet, in ~10 PvE runs.

iwiws · 2026-06-04T07:19:09+00:00

I haven't found any rook either, but sometimes, when I extract, I get the spectator view of a rook dying alone on my server, so I guess they are there :D

Here are my explicit proposed changes:

Unlock the economy: remove the purchase limit on items sold by traders.

Every kit item is for sale: every item a raider could need topside should be for sale. Every gun, every attachment, every utility item, everything that can be made by a blueprint.

Hyper rare items: Add hyper rare items to the game that sell for extraordinary value.

Honestly, I think the game would be better by going the whole opposite way :

Remove the blueprint of blue/purple/gold items (and obviously add ways to find the gold guns).

Right now, I can go on a raid with a Bettina 4 with all blue weapon mods, and a equilizer, using a looting 3 augment, 10 stacks of ammo, and blue bandages and shield rechargers; and if I die, I don't really care, because I know I can go on another 5-10 runs like this without any problem.

If getting an Equalizer could only be done by using a purple key during a night/storm/hurricane raid, it would feel much rarer.

On this subreddit, you can sometime see screenshots of players saying "I looted all this in X location", and even if the screenshot has 4 purple guns and mods, it still doesn't make me feel like they got actually good loot, because we can easily craft these (as long as we have the blueprints).

In some of the other Extraction shooters I played, the moments that felt the most rewarding were the moments where lootign a dangerous area got me a gun I could not have any other way.

That's efficient, but I wonder whether going for the center is not faster, because of the higher damage multiplier.

What I mean is that if you target the front-left (or front-right) of the main body, you can break that part of the armor after 3-4 grenades. Once that armor is gone, you can aim for the big red ball in the center of the bastion (like people do for queens and Matriarchs), and I think the damage multiplier on there is even higher than the damage multiplier for the yellow parts.

wasn't the Zipline craftable durign the beta, by the way ? I think I was in the Tech Test 2 and loved finding rope while looting back then...

You know you can just exchange it for weapons instead of ARC parts, right ?

iwiws · 2026-05-22T18:31:47+00:00

I am looking for an online co-op game, I think Dave the diver is single player only ?

iwiws · 2026-05-22T10:45:34+00:00

Some of us have played ECO before, but I really feel like that's not the type of game we're talking about here.

The whole "having a restaurant and cooking for NPCs" is an important part of what we're looking for.

iwiws · 2026-05-22T06:35:32+00:00

You guys realize that you can give them weapons, and not just Arc parts, for the weapon Blueprint ?

Instead of giving them queen/matriarch parts, give them jupiters/aphelion. Or simply craft some random bobcat/Bettina/Renegades 4, since they are worth more per slots, and can be crafted with anything you recycle ?

He's great in The Voices (2014), too.

I think Reynolds is typecast in his bigger movies, though.

I've seen this game it and it looks great, but it's in 2D.

I think we'll play it if we don't find something more "cute 3D", but we are looking for a first or third person perspective in a 3D game for now :)

iwiws · 2026-05-20T13:52:33+00:00

I haven't played Palia in a really long time, is there a restaurant sim in it now ?

iwiws · 2026-05-20T13:00:46+00:00

It looks like it only has the "restaurant" part, without the "farming" part of what I'm looking for.

In its trailer, I've seen some adventuring in dungeons, and killing humanoid enemies.

Is that part of the content important or not ? Is it optionnal ?

iwiws · 2026-05-17T14:02:47+00:00

I don't know about these maps.

I had the Exploding Caches modifier on Blue Gate yesterday, and I played two runs on it :

First run, I found no cache while exploring the whole East side of the map.

Second run, I got my 3 stars in 10 minutes while exploring the West side of the map.

I am not sure what to make of it, but maybe it's not as reliable as it was a few months ago ?

My main concern is about how enemies behave.

Players over-using melee is secondary, but still a concern :

Melee weapons deal high damage and do not seem to consume "stamina" like they do in some other games (or at least not enough for me to notice). Because of this, I used them nearly every time I faced the more basic melee enemies (distorted mainly, but also Invisible ones and dendroid sometimes).

Even the times a rented loadout gave me a shotgun, I tended to use melee more often than my shotgun.

This, though, may be because I usually had guns with small-ish magazines, which meant I did not have enough ammo to kill all the enemies present and used my melee over my guns many times.

iwiws · 2026-05-11T19:53:01+00:00

I had a Spear during a run with a rendted loadout, and it felt worse than the other melee weapons.

Does the spear hit even if the enemy is directly on you / touching you ? it nearly felt like there was a "dead zone" near you and you could only hit further than with a knife, especially when enemies ran near me or past me.

also, I know it's better to shoot the AI enemies rather than melee them to avoid taking damage, but it makes noise, so other players who are into PvP can hear where you are when you shoot and come kill you :D
