I skimmed through the episode. The show is painful to watch because it's clearly aimed at younger people. Cirroc Lofton reprises his role as Jake (well, a holographic recreation of him anyways). Some half Cardassian half trill professor played by Tawny Newsome at the academy reveals she is...

WOTC owns the IP, so that is probably why Larian has no input on the show. As for Last of Us, they adapted a game which had that shit to begin with.

The boss fights in the new dungeons are a bit more traditional in terms of MMO-style boss fights. They have phases and mechanic and some will summon adds. The lightning boss guy kinda pisses me off, though. You can learn the rotating electricity patterns, but trying to reload or healing slows...

My predictions: 1) Enclave releases FEV in the vaults. Good chunk of the residents mutate, some escape. Enclave shows up and Norm, Stephanie, and maybe some others get taken to Colorado (Claudia, Chet, etc). Norm and Stephanie act as our POV at Enclave 2) House proposes a mutual deal with...

3mil it seems. Meh, I don’t play enough to make that worth it

Predator meets Metal Gear

They need to reveal the player wealth requirements and if they plan to address blueprints at all before i’d consider it

The last MMOs where I played mostly because of my guild was New World and Dune if you want to count that - both had core mechanics that required a coordinated group to do effectively. But that is also a double edged sword because if people stop playing, you’re bored because there isn’t a whole...

Did you forget Cassidy was pregnant with his kid? He does. I forget how long, but it’s like a decade tops later. I never read that particular novel, but I think it was referenced in a later novel I read. It’s been forever since I read them and I don’t recall much. Only plot points I...

You joke, but Avery Brooks was reportedly angry about how they ended Sisko’s story because he felt like it was inadvertently playing into negative stereotypes by effectively making him an absent father and is supposedly one of the reasons he never reprised the role

Early MMOs were basically proto-VR chat where you can fight orcs and dragons. That was a big part of their appeal. Then people realized hell is other people and wanted a more curated experience with endless content drip There is still a market for MMOs, but I do think they need to evolve...

The lansgrad revamp is good. The dungeons are a challenge in terms of the boss and melee is kinda fucked on bosses. Bosses don’t have shields so you mostly use guns to avoid aoe. Leveling specializations will take time, but there are some low hanging value picks you can get fast. Like...

So he never came back in 800 years? lul I'm slightly tempted to watch the episode to see how they decide to handle this

There isn't much of a risk of running out of lore/factions. I doubt we're going to get some 10+ season thing like Walking Dead. Besides, Bethesda isn't going to let them perma kill any given faction

Season 3' story is really going to hinge on if Purnell and Goggins are game for more than 3 seasons (their contract is only for 3). Season 3 is supposed to start filming soon. If one or both of them decide 3 is enough, then they'll need to completely wrap up Coop and Lucy's story by the end of...

Presumably Steph was told by Hank what phase 2 was and how it would shake down. Although unless there is an escape hatch in the overseer office, not sure what her plan is to actually escape or survive (since presumably phase 2 involves FEV) Season 2 was a continuation of season 1: Ghoul...

It was pretty clear they weren't going to wrap up the storylines this season and were going to finish them in S3. But ya, kind of a blueball way to end things lol Thoughts on some things

That’s what more or less killed JFK Jr and his wife decades ago - if I recall he wasn’t properly instrument rated and they tried flying at night/foggy conditions and ended up in the ocean

I watched an early access stream on Twitch about a month back or so - very Left4Dead like

Rapier changes take a lot of getting used to. You counter intuitively have to do a light attack timed just right to parry and r click and L click both do attacks but are different because they involve forward and backward motions

Beta WoW and early vanilla leaned more heavily into CC in group encounters. In beta, warlock banish worked on any NPC and cost a soul shard to cast. I remember using banish and fear juggling and succubus seduce to CC like 4 things at once in dungeons on my warlock

The carry trial is fucking dumb. I don’t even think the boxes respawn and they’re spread all over the map. Highest score I ever got on one was 2 handins on Dam

Slight fix there lol

Summed up: Good writing prioritizes story first and seamlessly weaves a moral or message into the story if needed Bad writing prioritizes a moral or message first and sloppily constructs a story around that Supergirl on CW was a prime example of the 2nd point during its later seasons - the...

More normies played FO3 and FO4 than FONV in the scheme of things

Rallos Zek was fine because it was a single server that offered PVP to people who wanted to engage with that type of content. PVP specific servers are a great idea The problem isn't that, it is some devs trying to make mandatory PVP with no opt-out their entire game

They're good in close quarters PVP, but they suck for most PVE situations vs. a regular anvil

PVP focused MMOs are basically the devs hoping players will make content. That's it. Just look at Dune. Sort of a MMO-lite, but they hoped players would PVP a bunch and it would take pressure off the devs to produce more PVE content

That car video has to be bait

MMOs aren't dead. Plenty coming out of China/Korea still and there are a lot of MMO-lite/hybrid type games like Where Winds Meet This always boils down to the eternal "what is a MMO?" question and you have people say only games like Everquest or WoW are MMOs, yet if you're objective, the...

I mean even Interplay fudged with the canon even back in Fallout 2. Ultimately they are games and games more often than not are going to "retcon" or tweak lore in order to fit the game mechanics and experience. Like in Fallout 1 fusion cores lasted more or less forever (in game I think they...

The games have had different strains of FEV that use different mechanisms of delivery. One thing they forget is the "dunk vats" are a primitive means of applying concentrated FEV to subjects that was primarily done post war by non-sophisticated factions. Pre-war and vault wise, FEV...

One issue is they're trying to compete with MMOs that have been out for decades, which is impossible from a scope of content perspective. You can't squeeze 10+ years of content into a game without putting in over 10+ years of effort and/or without a massive budget and development team...

I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen sooner. His game vision always was going to be DOA in the western market after a month or so

Wasn't that trialed during the Afghan war? Pretty sure I recall reading about that over a decade ago, they had planned to use it to help treat severe wounds in the field to stem bleeding until they could evac them for additional medical care

Interesting video - I wasn't aware of crop mimicry/accidental domestication of things like rye and oats

Huh? You're supposed to address the person you're talking to or look at them when using a translator.

Clarification for that post: The canon ending thing wasn't decided by the show runners, Bethesda/Todd made that requirement. The last Fallout game with a canon ending was Fallout 3
