Splattercat: I find it fundamentally impossible to do bad things in video games. I always feel guilty. Also Splattercat: I love MechWarrior and Brigador games because they basically are war crimes simulators.

@wilhelmschilling3105 6 месяцев назад

I have somehow the same problem. When I have the choice, I have to choose the "good" path most of the time. Therfore games that are designed for you to play bad guys are refreshing, because you don't really have the choice. GTA is like this as well. Also the witcher 3 was nice, because most of the choices were very grey area like and nuanced. No obvious good or bad path to walk on, but real choices. The struggle to choose "the lesser evil" and having the feeling of failing at it. This is the whole personality and curse of life of gerald in the books as well.

@suoquainen 2 месяца назад

You can be pretty bad in Divine Divinity up to the point sellers don't wanna sell to you or getting attacked by guardsmen when entering a village or town. Even animals will attack you forever if you do harm to them.

@rhel373 18 дней назад

@@wilhelmschilling3105 That's how it is for me too. If I'm just the villain by default I'm usually ok with that. Especially if it's either cartoonish evil or comically excessive. If I get to choose I'm a big softie.

Oh man this takes me back. Dungeon Siege 1 was my childhood game as well. I remember the first time I beat Gom as a kid, my heart was beating like crazy. haha Also that cursed church of azunai that was infested with crawling and headless zombies in the swamps. It took me so long to muster up the courage to get through this part of the game as a kid. I still get a little bit scared when I try to get through this part when replaying the game. Not because of the place itself but because of my memories as a kid of it. Those crawling zombies were just something else for me at the time. 😭 The amount of secrets this game had from the secret bear boss cave early on to the hidden switches that lead to secret rooms in the catacombs to the underground tunnel mazes that were infested with giant spiders, insect people, etc. The music composed by Jeremy Soule there since the start along the sweet looking environment. Game is truly a masterpiece. Good times.

This game is a freaking blast. It's super frustrating the first couple deaths (ironman mode) but once you get a few levels a bit of gear without dying it's off to the races. The devs are a lot of fun too these quests are great and there is a bit of humor mixed in. Damn enjoyable. I highly recommend it. I've put in about 8-9 hours. I'm about 20% through the game.

Divine Divinity is indeed nostalgic. I remember in my first playthrough that I didn't do at all the starting quest in the catacombs to give his sanity back to the old mage, and ended up confused at the end when he poped through a portal thanking me for helping him back then. x) These same catacombs had a funny scene with skeletons talking to each other about how bored they were to pull levers since eternity to end up questioning their own existence and how they could talk without vocal chords. That same question ended up breaking the spell maintaining them because logic won over magic on this one! XD Thanks for showcasing. ^^

@charlesballard5251 6 месяцев назад

You can, it's all about NOT rushing it. Compare your bows, choose the best one. GO HUNTING!!!! Just wandering the world hunting rabbits, deer, and boar you can level your character with virtually ZERO threat. I get my first bow skill leveled to 5 before moving on to the next one because that gives me an instant kill. Also in this video when he had to choose between the SPARE BOW and the 1000 or 1200 gold coins, if he'd have been an archer it would have been better to choose the bow. The bow given is a "Shadow Bow" which I have for my melee fighter (Jan). I have him hunt with it and it gets his dexterity raised regularly, as well as his piercing damage.

I like the vid. Apparently you are using the DARK theme for your user interface. I may have to change mine as I like the look of yours.

I'm over half-way there in just a few hours of gameplay. Are you going for the event as well? The game has been patched several times in the last few weeks. It's like every time I brought up STEAM it was wanting to dl a patch. I think I even saw a few differences. I don't think I've ever seen the Taskmaster mention christ. I think that may have been taken out for some reason. Who else here is going for the event?
