Wait till the first expansion or major DLC comes out, as it stands AOW3 is much like CIV5 at release; the potential for a good game exists but for now it is a flawed mess that focused more on making every race blandly equivalent to one another rather than fun. The first few hours are great...

Final 2 cents: I find that I enjoy the early game quite a bit as that is when tactics matter most, it is also fun to go item hunting in the "dungeons"... I really wish they were crawls with final bosses instead of just a room with the exact same mobs per difficulty level each time. Still it is...

Yeah the village strongman politics, which amounts to nothing much more than thoughtful stares then sudden violence is a lot less entertaining than the actual raiding. It would have been more interesting if Ragnar had actually decided to be true to his word to begin with (the pact) then we...

I did run into one city that had 4 trebuchets and a bunch of mages behind a stone wall that could have complicated things if my mage hero hadn't had Chaos Rift... it's pretty much GG once that thing is cast if your opponent can't dispel it. Funny thing was the AI cast it on me first but I had...

I really wish that they had preserved the chance to miss outright from the previous games... dealing with walled enemy cities is a joke when you can just mass fire on the 1 or 2 ranged units the AI seems to keep in there, once that dies everything else just pops out. It used to be that...

I really wish that they had devoted an episode to Lagertha in her new land, she has supposedly been there now for 5+ years and yet we know nothing about how that community views her or indeed anything about anyone there besides her husband. How did she organize a war band without her lords...

Recall Syiro Forel the First Sword of Braavos, Aryas fencing master, the playwright might be his brother the First Quill. George still has to confirm whether that cunning bugger escaped or not from Kings Landing; no death can be accepted in this story without a body... aside from Cat sadly.

That and it was implied that she would ditch the persona after her performance that night which means she was probably just there to learn a bit of mummery. I do wish that the chapter had dealt more with her mentors and their society instead of a highly unlikely chance encounter (though we...

If you mean the Bishop from the raid... no, I'd say the multiple arrows and the slit throat were pretty effective.

I played the pre release version for a few hours and I found it a bit dull, the fractured world while an interesting idea wasn't implemented very well; it creates choke points everywhere leading to near complete isolation of competing mages which means you (& the AI mages) end up fighting random...

Elantris is his first novel and it shows; it's not horrendous but you won't be missing anything if you never pick it up. If you loved Mistborn 1 then continue onwards.

Thank you good sir.

I for one would be glad to read the rest of the chapter if you feel like loading it up Dandai

I guess Captain Justice could be anyone now that I think on it, hopefully we will get an explanation of how he got the sword.

I'd hardly call Nightblood intelligent from what I read in Warbreaker, more like barely self aware. It has potential though since Sanderson can do anything he wants with it and Vasher; who knows how much time has passed and how much has changed, Vasher after all has seemingly turned into a...

The quality drops off quite a bit after book 2 in WoT; the things he does wrong with his characters only become more pronounced as the story goes on. Some books are better than others but I felt that he never recaptured the momentum he had in the first two books and instead went forward...

I imagine that it will be able to feed off of whatever powers shardblades and stormlight in general like it does breath from the wielder in Warbreaker. It still seems like it would be a downgrade from an honorblade though as the sword doesn't grant any abilities to its wilder or didn't in...

That multilingual version was beautiful. Check this out if you want a chuckle; the song redubs starting around 2:00 had me cracking up.

I wish Lynch had managed to bring the city of mages to life like he did Carmorr.

All logical explanations but it would have been more interesting and credible if we got to see into the mans mind a little bit to reach that judgement; as it is he like most of the other princes is a blank who is defined by simplistic motivations and who enters or exits the narrative at a whim...

That's how it's presented; that he thrives on being contrary and irksome to the other princes and that he also happens, quite fortuitously, to be a true patriot but it just doesn't sit right with me because he didn't know anything about her. Men in positions of power don't remain there by...

Quill18 has a series going on this in English. quill18 - YouTube It just looks like an updated version of the other games which is a good thing for most I suspect.

Yes once she meets her new "mentor" everything just starts clicking for her again for not entirely valid reasons. Her patron in the war camps is an especially prime example as he doesn't want anything from her; it's almost like she enchanted him into believing that he actually is her uncle...

He was the representative of a group of beggars in Elantris and he had about one line of dialogue; it was just a cameo, he had no actual role in that novel, I'm not sure about the others. Also to anyone considering a read of Elantris I would say don't as it only serves as an example of how much...

I despise this argument in defense of bad writing in fiction. For a story to have any sort of quality and impact on the viewer/reader there needs to be some level of plausibility and continuity (within the context of the narrative) to a characters motivations and actions or else the story will...

The sword has no information pertaining to it within this series as far as I know, that said, some of his other books tie into his Cosmere universe and some characters make crossovers (Wit) and now this sword which is presumably from his other novel Warbreaker. Other references to crossovers...

Look forward to Canada; they have wolves too but y'know... they're DIRE.

Thieves don't get any ae, their main draw is that they can pretty much 1 shot almost anything with backstab if it's stunned first. Which is kind of a bummer as you end up only using 2 abilities for most of the game until you just get bored and start using the others for flavor. But yes it...

The fights are just easier and thus more boring. Anyway this has been a great experience so far apart from some of the more anal quick time events. I especially loved Canada and the underpants gnome bedroom fight, just hilarious, I wish more games would push things beyond the usual boring game...

Managed it on a thief with mug (stun) x2 then critical backstabs x2 the next turn to kill off two of the goons. Kenny's unicorn charge managed the 3rd one and beat up gore a bit. Damn that stun grenade though.

I am about 150 pages in to WoR and so far so good, no real complaints at all, I also liked the acknowledgements section; its refreshing to see a successful author with such an apparent appreciation for a good editing team. My only gripe so far are the damn "journal" quotes before each chapter...

It feels like you are in an episode and great fun so far. My only complaints are that there is no sell all button and you cant rebind any keys as I'd rather attack/block with the keyboard. I went with a black thief to see if Cartman would say anything about it, no dicethough he does mention...

I thought 12 Years was well made but shallow as it had nothing going for it but a bald play on the viewers emotions; that and nothing that was done was particularly original compared to prior depictions in other films with richer characters.

People have been streaming it on Twitch the past couple of days at any rate.

Don't avoid everything hes written based on Mistborn; I know most people seem to rave about it but he lost me at book 2 (read 3rd anyway, it got worse) in that series also for similar and other reasons. The Way of Kings, Steelheart and a few others are quite enjoyable reads.

They are relying on this Pam/coke thing beyond excessively at this point. She was far better in small doses when she could transition from bit character to badass as the need arose.

Kellhus is the villain because he's an insufferable character that dominates everyone and everything flawlessly. But he is also the hero because without him all of mankind would be devoured by those goblin things (forget what they are called) and their master. I really liked Achamian before...

I enjoy the building and management but my issue is the fact that you can play for several hundred game years and nothing really ever changes beyond scale; you start with a small village and end with that and several other satellite villages scattered around it. In all that time you achieve no...

That missing "and" enrages you?

I thought the quality dropped off a bit once the Black Company returned to their "homeland"; it felt like there were more books than there strictly needed to be and the story got a bit convoluted, but that largely depends on how you feel about the usage of magic and its influence on...
