I’ve been playing Soulmask and enjoying it, but I need a break as the building in that game leaves a lot to be desired. So I’m returning to Baldur’s Gate 3. I can never bring myself to play Durge or evil aligned characters, but I’m going to try a class and character I’ve never considered and see how it goes.
Manor Lords. Its got some annoying bugs in this EA version, but the developer should be really happy. Enjoying what is in front of me. Its beautiful, mind boggling at times, and fun.
So many story telling memories. ME is still a treasure to me despite its challenges and missteps. ME2 is among my favorite game of all time, right behind Dragon Age: Origins.
But ME3 has a scene that was so well executed that I don’t think anything has ever topped it, for me, in video gaming storytelling. From his decision to rectify what he now believes is a past wrong, do it alone, to his final remark about seashells.
It, to me, is extremely emotional and in the best way that a good story can be.
Dragon Age: Origins
What a great game and great memories for me. I remember, as a kid, building this huge coastal city and putting signs down to buildings I thought my grandmother would like and showing her. She loved architecture so it was always a nice experience for me.
Enshrouded and Valheim.
I want to go on an OG RPG run with KOTOR, KOTOR 2(I admit, never played 2), then DA:Origins. But I need time to loose since I get too lost in the story.
Except the Fade in DA:O. Skip the Fade mod all day every day.
No Man’s Sky is still, in my opinion, trying to make up for what it was on release. It’s a great game now. Not my jam as I find it far too expansive for my tastes, but I can’t knock it for what it is today. I think it’s a work of art and the seamless planet travel is pretty damn cool.
I tried that return to moria game and it wasn’t my style. Felt a little janky, but amazing concept.
I fired up Valheim again and decided to close my eyes, delete my old worlds, and just go for a new solo experience. Having fun.
Remaining glued to Baldurs Gate 3. Enjoying a playthrough as a battle bard.
Did fire up Foxhole again to get into some trench combat. Had a ton of fun doing mortar support.
Favorite game of the year? BG3, hands down.
I am enjoying BG3, still, and it definitely scratches the tabletop fix I haven’t been able to fulfill.
I also returned to No Man’s Sky for a hot minute, and also still play TIE Fighter via GoG. Gotta go with that classic Lucas Arts 90s Gold.
The epilogue is actually pretty damn good. Highly recommended.
