    Witcher 3

    It's self inflicted but I don't think you quite understand what I mean. I only enjoy difficult gameplay because it forces me to use all the available tools to beat a game. Witcher 3 has difficult gameplay, but I'm so tired of using the same old crafting tools to beat it. I could lower the...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I don't know. I just know that when I played last the best way to build up your forts was through online conquests where once you leveled up a bit you'd run into teams created with orcs that were probably better than the entirety of orcs you'd come across through the entire game. As in, after 60...

    Witcher 3

    Yeah fuck off with calling crafting in Witcher 3 "minimal". The last two times I loaded up my mid-game save I open up my inventory and see a collection of this shit: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/The_Witcher_3_alchemy_ingredients...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    It's best to sample all the many different ways the game provides you to farm orcs. "Creating" orcs by dying to them or finding new ones in the fighting pits and then carefully leveling them up is what the game is all about. Then when you want to scale up your orc pokemon, the best way is to...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Could be interested in Diablo 2 if they do a great job. But I can't imagine they can build something that stays true to Diablo 2 without creating something inferior to Path of Exile.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    No, you're right, it's all minimal. All the customization is wrapped up in the Orc system which I find to be totally refreshing because it's something no game has done before and I've done crafting in so many other games. These days I try to ignore crafting systems in games as much as possible...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Also @Sabbat @Kharzette I've found some of the UI guys like Sparxx, Zvenn, Syylke and Drakah are willing to give people a hand in making UIs if you reach out to them. I imagine they're more than happy to find new uses for their expertise on the worst UI system in computer history, especially if...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    It has crafting in the form of upgrades to your gear that you get either through gems you fuse together and upgrades based on beating challenges. And it has rudimentary base building in that you configure your fortress for different attributes. But really the base-building is centered around the...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I'm using Diplomacy Fixes and it makes kingdom management a bit easier if only because you can send messages to lords you want to poach. It has a significant influence cost (but why...) and takes three days, but it's a hell of a lot nicer than running around looking for a lord to poach only to...

    Did a "refresher" newbie run where I made a new cle/enc and sorted out their UIs. Got to level two by barely killing level 1 snakes in Nektulos and then meditating.... what the hell did I get myself into.

    @Sabbat I'm sure y'all have looked but I've seen quite a few requests for 4k UIs over the years. I'm surprised nobody has made one, but a lot have tried and talked about their results. Probably a few 4k options in eqinterface like EQInterface downloads : Player Window for UltraHD 4K...

    all right, sorry for belaboring this. I want to play a cle/enc duo on Aradune, does it matter that much what races I pick? If not I'm just picking dark elf for both for simplicity.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I never played AC Rogue but I feel like they trivialized climbing to where it's barely a gameplay element anymore. You can pretty much just tell Kassandra to run in one direction and she'll climb whatever is in her way to get there. In AC1 some of the towers were non-trivial to climb and AC2+...

    editing EQ's UI is a mess. I did it a little bit (from sparxx base) to get the red background on deplted health bars (which I'm surprised more people don't use) among other things, it's so painful. Related, this thread on the official forums was posted recently...

    Using fire arrows in a game or movie is basically letting everyone know you don't give a fuck about historical accuracy when you have to decide between it and what's cool. Anyone who sees that, ignores it and starts to weigh in on it in a judgmental way is foolish, or probably just an internet...

    It's been so long, how big of a deal is it on TLPs in classic eq to have a duo that has different faction? If i do dark elf cleric and high elf enchanter is that a nuisance or is it actually good because almost no matter where i go some character can run in and buy and sell goods?

    Yeah that's my biggest fear with doing enc/cle, that it's a lot of tedious and situational effort that is overshadowed by the reliability of an sk/sha or mnk/sha duo. But I've got a melee-focused six box and a 4xmage / enc / dru 6box on live so I'm looking to try something new. And maybe I'm...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    lol. In my game I went against the empire and have around 40% of the map. I've almost got the northern empire toasted and now that I've taken Epicrotea the game crashes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I have a save right before I took Epicrotea.

    Oh and back to menavliatons vs shield using troops, I've built up an army of Sturgian Veteran Warriors (axe/shield/throwing axe). One way I'm keeping things fresh is I added 4 more tiers of troops onto them that upgrade the armor slightly but add 30 skill points to their athletics/1h/throwing. I...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    One thing that's kind of missing from the game is huge sieges where an army will get rallied to help defend a city. This is a byproduct of troops getting "locked out" of a city during a siege which makes sense. I hope they add a way for NPC lords to quickly run to defend an area when it's being...

    One thing to keep in mind is that yours isn't the only retarded liege.

I'm trying to lower the peace price and despite...

    @Punko @Caliane is it possible to ever recruit a royal house into your kingdom? Like if I execute Monchug then farm rep with his descendents, will they ever join or will they always be considered the rulers of the Khuzait? What if I wipe out their faction?
