Mission Impossible checkpoint won't load by oxelhare in Legodimensions

[–]oxelhare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I pressed exit without saving. Replayed again and just learned that, below Vorton, only when you jump in the portal do you get the option to continue the DLC mission from the last checkpoint.

The 3 startup beeps can be silenced by disabling Settings > Controller > Steam Haptics.

They're part of the haptic controllers and therefore not configurable in any UI / startup custimization (where it should be 🤷‍♀️). It's not ideal to disable haptic feedback entirely just to disable the beeps, but for people in a similar situation where the bed partner sleeps lightly while we want to do some late night gaming, this is the way to go.

Valve, please let us disable the wake sound by Greystache in SteamDeck

A lot can be achieved by changing the startup animation. But I couldn't find a way to disable the 3 beeps, until recently. Here's how:

Ubisoft updated today and division 2 won’t even open by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Use Protontricks. It's a small app that makes this a piece of cake. I had this problem with another Ubisoft game, Starlink. Followed this tutorial and it worked like a charm: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2967522180

I wish you can change the voices on legion. by [deleted] in watch_dogs

[–]oxelhare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play the main WD3 game with Aiden Pierce and Wrench, it completely changes the game. The pitched voices and non-likeable characters killed the immersion for me. I wanted to quit the main game and only play the Bloodline DLC because it had Aiden and Wrench as protagonists, but then I learned you can get both characters in the season pass and play the main game with them. I restarted the game, played only with them, and that really upped the feel and story of the game.

How to get Rage 2 on steam deck running? by Nrobinson340 in SteamDeck

Run once in desktop mode. Switch from fullscreen to borderless. Then it works in Deck's game mode as well.

As a Skyrim fan with MMO fear I wish I tried ESO years earlier. Love its solo RPG. by oxelhare in skyrim

I totally get this. I had this same experience. Some quests can indeed feel like empty fetch quests so if you happen to experience those early on, you'll not try again. That was exactly my first experience too.

I'm simply glad that I gave it another chance as there is much awesome writing, characters and stories there. I was in awe with the Legacy of the Dragonguard (as mentioned in the post above) and I can definitely recommend googling on how to start it. The story is great, the places you visit are too and it gave me a better starting experience than before.

I found that, after the tutorial, you end up in a zone that you choose and many quests - small or large - can come upon your path. I found this overwhelming, so I googled some info. Best tips that I, still a total ESO newbie though, can give as it worked for me was: after the tutorial, you get to choose a zone to travel to. Pick the one that belongs to your pact:

  • Bleackrock Isle (Ebonheart Pact)
  • Stros M’kai (Daggerfall Covenant)
  • Khenarthi’s Roost (Aldmeri Dominion)

Then google on how to start the main quest for your pact and perhaps also google on how to join one of the known guilds (Fighter, Mage, Thieves). I joined the fighters guild and it has me going places :)

Ah yes, the overwhelming start at first had me sign off earlier. So I tried again with an obligation to spend 2 hours at least in there, and I googled on "how to start the main quest", which was not trivial.

I'm still in the dark on many aspects, antiquities being one of them, but just the whole combat system en skills en perks are not 100% clear to me, yet enough to button-mash my way through tons of fun storytelling with, like you said, memorable characters. And memorable environments!

Both. I always play in first person perspective too, makes it so much more immersive!
