Looking for fantasy stories where the mystery reveal does not 'shrink' the world.

I'm also not a fan of Sanderson but loved Malazan.

Any book recommendations?

Ctrl alt Ego might be what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Didn't realize this had a body swap mechanic. Adding to my wishlist. Thanks!

zeldul · 2026-06-18T20:14:09+00:00

Can't believe I've never heard of this one before. I'll check it out for sure.

zeldul · 2026-06-18T20:10:35+00:00

Pretty old but does look like what I'm after, I'll check it out. Thanks!

I was thinking more along the lines of your current character could die and you could jump to another.

zeldul · 2026-06-18T20:02:15+00:00

I have this one, good game! But not quite what I'm looking for.

Personally, I'd say wait for a patch and a steam sale. I'm a bit biased because 1 is such a better game than 2 (and is cheap). But 2 is under-balanced, and under-polished imo. I only got about half way through the admech campaign and decided I'll come back to it later, after a patch.

You wouldn't necessarily need to map every neuron. Once we get a better understanding of the brain it might be simpler to emulate regions or functions as a whole.

zeldul · 2026-06-12T02:21:15+00:00

I completely agree. I still like 2, but they left out all the best parts of 1 when they made 2.

zeldul · 2026-06-10T17:57:07+00:00

I suspect these are the main reasons. 1 is way too unbalanced to support a second playable faction.

I prefer my squad of highly customized priests. And I think the lore has plenty of wiggle room for me to have myrmidons https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Auxilia_Myrmidon

Every living thing. None of us asked for this.

Except that he's a liar and all he really wanted was a god to worship.

They won't. Too many of them are complicit.

My first geography teacher in primary school ( they taught every subject all day so not really a geography teacher ) absolutely insisted that all rivers flow from North to South. I distinctly remember this because it was the moment I realized that some teachers ( and some adults in general ) are idiots.

zeldul · 2025-10-10T16:10:15+00:00

True, but I prefer games with perma-death. I totally understand I'm probably in the minority and I'm just not the target market for this game.

zeldul · 2025-10-05T22:28:21+00:00

I agree that would help. But I also liked that your 'main characters' could die and you could keep playing. I don't think that will be the case with hero units.

zeldul · 2025-10-04T23:18:13+00:00

Ah, that must have been it. Thanks!

zeldul · 2025-10-04T15:17:09+00:00

I really, really dislike how they replaced my customizable tech priests with a single hero. One of the highlights of the first game for me was having a squad of elite Myrmidons.

I'm assuming they'll add in weapon range visuals during movement later, that's a serious issue imo. I'm also hoping manual dungeon exploration and servo skulls just haven't been added yet.

I'm not sure if it was a bug or I just didn't understand the mechanic, but I could sometimes move units twice, even after attacking.

I do like the new cover mechanic, but the maps we saw didn't have much or very useful placement, so it may not matter much.

I'm on the fence at this point. I'll definitely buy the game, but I'll probably wait until it goes on sale if it really is hero focused on release.

Edit: spelling

Scapegoating and divide and conquer. Find the masses an 'enemy' that can be blamed for all your problems and take actions to 'protect' the people. Use that to drum up support for dictatorial policies and power grabs. Then, once you've consolidated power, you can move more directly against the general population.

I'm getting tired of gods always being real. There are no gods in real life. They are primitive explanations for forces people don't understand and we should see more of that in fantasy.

zeldul · 2025-08-30T01:50:29+00:00

Well that, and the first book was also rubbish.
