Oh yea. I remember now. I patched up No Man's Sky and tried it. It does objectively look better, but I'm not sure I appreciate the graphical sleekness since I have a strong affinity with the original. I'm also not sure base-building is the cure for this game's ailments but I suppose if I get tired of making sacks of nails for my home in Skyrim, I can always get eyestrain by building a base on a puke-green-and-purple planet with otherwise no interesting features.

Taking a break from DOTA2. Partially for my sanity and partially because WTF IS THIS UPDATE. I kind of want to let things get sorted out and possibly have a damn always visible CS count and KDA before I give it a real shot. Small or big break; I don't know. Well, I should qualify, bot games may be played but they don't count.  Dragon's Dogma is starting to grow on me a little. Picking it back up while I take my hiatus. Game is really ponderous to play though. I wish there were some more accessible quick travel. Getting anywhere takes forever. The whole Pawn thing is pretty nifty. |

There are "teleport crystals" (Portcrystals) but they aren't that easy to use either.

Back in SWTOR. Hate to admit how much I actually like it (as a single player game, of course). Just cruising the Jedi Knight story missions.

Did you resubscribe or is playing free an acceptable alternative these days?

Free seems fine with the right unlocks. I just sub because it's easier and the xp buff helps me stick to story-only stuff when I just want to do that (as I am currently).

Playing POE still.
I went into the game blind and having fun discovering the game for myself. I know there are pages of documents with math for build efficiency. I'm ignoring that for now. Haven't done that with a game in a while.

I'm playing this off and on, too. I only got three hours in to it the first time around. It's fun. No math for me either! |

I was thinking about trying PoE, having not yet played it. Tried to play D3 again, and it seemed too similar to last season.
Almost "finished" with my priest in WoW-Legion and getting bored.

I almost feel like dropping 30 on POE for the different stash tabs.

Currency tab is certainly worth it.

Damnit, we need a way to distinguish 'Pillars of Eternity' from 'Path of Exile'.
Or should I just assume everyone finished Pillars a while back and motor on?

I feel it's safe to assume that PoE always means Path of Exile.

Got 200 days into a Prophecy of Pendor play through then realized there had been a major patch release since last I updated. Ugh. Tried to keep going but couldn't do it. #!$!!#$^%!.

The vast bulk of the money I spent on Path of Exile was for stash tabs. Currency tab is a must-buy. I think the only decoration I bought was the neck-stump one, which I think is really neat and hasn't been available for a long time now. Lots of people go for the flashy shit, but I find a simple missing head with bloody neck stump to be very classy.
Uh...
Final Fantasy Fifteen. It's solid.
No Man's Sky. It's like an interactive screen-saver and more fun than mobile games.
Borderlands 2, just wrapping up Opportunity. If Krieg can close the gap on a badass constructor before dying, he wins. Mania tree with a Law pistol and Love Thumper shield. Delicious.
I also have The Bane and am keeping it, but... the curse.
The Telltale Batman game. Interesting story. Bad programming.
A little Elder Scrolls Online. Still should be called Inventory Management Online.

I have tried so hard to get into this game and I just can't. The builds are all fucked up; I have a DK that I want to be either a sword/board or 2hd soloer, but the optimal way to play solo DK is dual wield/bow. Most games I can just play how I want, but in TESO not being optimally built means spending a lot of time dead. I just can't figure it out. The core game is fun enough that I want to play, but I haven't figured out a build that I like enough to actually play. |

I don't even know what my character type is. Paladin? A Nord with plate armor, 2-hand sword, and healing skills.

In a real Elder Scrolls game, everyone is a stealth archer. So you're a stealth archer with a 2-handed sword and healing skills!

I've never played an archer or a character with stealth, let alone a stealth archer, in any Elder Scrolls game...what am I missing out on? |

I played a straight 2H Nord warrior first time though Skyrim. For the more Nord experience ever.
Second time around I played one of those Imperial stealth archers that was a Legion helper. I think that game took me half the time to do more stuff. It was like, dungeons? No problem. Boss guy? He's dead before he can talk to me about how cool he was.

Not much, outside of Skyrim. In Skyrim, the stacking damage bonus from sneak attacks meant you could usually one or two shot enemies from outside their detection range, and since nobody ever saw you, you could just keep doing that over and over. |

The fact that mobs had a hardcap on their detection range is really what made it broken. Although in Oblivion I had my stealth so high with magic items or something that I could just backstab dudes and they wouldn't aggro, just stand there, getting stabbed over and over to death.

It also works nearly as well, if not better, in Oblivion. In Morrowind it works too, but not until pretty high levels of Stealth, and not well even after that due to damage variance. |

I'm still playing some Civilization VI when I have time. I've been playing Civ since the beginning, and this one seems fine to me. Incidentally, I remembered I have an account here. It's been a while.

Played some Path of Exile this week. I eventually noticed that my item filter has disappeared, so I have to google that again. I didn't reset my skill points but my UI preferences are all undone! Again I am baffled by the choices for defaults.
Last night in Borderlands 2, I killed BNK-3R with the buzz axe. Delicious.

Received Hitman as an early Christmas present, and am having a ball. Also been playing Astroneer with my brother - it's surprisingly polished for an early access title, though you're still aware it's in pre-alpha at times.

Got the family the VR deal for the playstation. So far I've done the special Battlefront mission a few times and really dig it, but think I'm about done with it. They need to put in some new content or come out with a dedicated SW game (which I'm sure they will). We have the Eagle game, which is pretty cool, reminds me of Flower, and some robot battle thing that I haven't done yet. The only issue with the VR for me is that it makes me motion sick. I hope that gets better with time.
Also got a few other titles for PS- Madden 2017, Battlefield 1, Titans 2 and FF XV.
