    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This guarantees coop since Larian is huge on the coop thing. Also possibly a turn-based option? Turn-based is awesome in D:OS and the addition to POE2 was nice.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Game is incredible. They fixed the only real problems (beside bugs): (1) added the endless dungeon so you can hit 20 before end game without mods, (2) tweaked the difficulty of the end game. My suggestions first time through: - standard difficulty (easy if you have zero D&D experience) - turn...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Game is awesome. Highy suggest following mods. Both work in Definitive Edition. Party Size Evolved: six man party makes the game much better imho, can try many different builds, and travel with all 6 main characters: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1503849808 Enable...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Finally starting this after "finishing" Vermintide 2, which was surprisingly good. This and POE2 on deck. Will be up late on work nights for a while. :)

    Vermintide 2

    Yeah, just "finished" V2 by completing everything on Champion and 3 classes to 30 (legend too insane with PUGs to bother). Installed V1 (got both on that cheap sale recently) and my first few missions dropped gear for *other classes*. WTF. :NPC A:

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    Not sure why anyone is surprised this is beating Fortnite on Twitch. Respawn has always had the best weapon feel on PC or Console. They just make super satisfying gameplay. Removing wall running and double jump (as in Titanfall) was good decision since it lowered the skill floor / ceiling for...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    If this had double jump and wall running it would probably drive the skill floor/ceiling way too high for average players.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    WoW - Vanilla - Tauren Warrior - $350 - when you could still sell on Ebay Wow - Burning Crusade - Gnome Rogue - $250 - PlayerAuctions Came back for later expansions but never hardcore enough to sell characters.

    The reason for DMCA takedown seems frivolous. They are claiming "ownership" of a color, 2D camera view, 2D coordinate system, and autopilot? Lol?

    Star Control RETURNS?!

    Finally started on this and about 20 hours in. Fairly worthy successor to Star Control. - Ship battles are cool. - They definitely get the "atmosphere" of Star Control with humor, weirdness, mystery, etc. - Graphics kinda mediocre. - Races and plot mostly well done. - The "MenkMack" dialogue I...

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Finished on Normal. Party was 2 Sword/Shield Fighters, 2 Sword Rogues, Practioner, Bard. Pretty much plowed through the game easily. Don't think I lost a single fight after around level 10. Not even boss fights. Way better game than I expected. That ending is great.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Finally finished Pathfinder (120+ hours) and moved on to this. Up to level 15 now. Damn this game is really well done. Only thing to complain about is it needs a real beefy system and the characters are kinda ugly. I'm really liking the combat system. Fairly unique.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Endless dungeon will kinda fix a lot since you'll be able to XP and gold grind. Anyway just finished on Normal. Took 130 hours. First game I've played that legit took over 100 hours with no DLC or expansions. Non-spoiler things that would make the game better: - increase or remove most of the...
