I’m still playing the hell outta Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve played through so many times, have multiple multiplayer campaigns going on, and I’m just having a lot of fun with mods.
Also still playing but still on the first play through. Such a good game. I didn’t try any mods yet. Are there any you can recommend?
The Improved UI mods are definitely nice. Better Containers too. Uncomplicated mods that improve general usability. I also like the Pretty Font Project.
Achievement Enabler, the Mod Fixer, and the Native Mod Loader are all also helpful, though I’m not entirely sure they are needed for the UI mods, though it doesn’t hurt to have them. The Achievement Enabler allows you to still earn achievements with mods if that wasn’t obvious, and the native mod loader allows the game to load the achievement enabler.
Beyond that, I’d recommend just looking around on Nexus. There are thousands to look through, ranging from improving classes and races to adding spells to straight up making you a god.
I about 120 hours paly time and still on Act 1 in Baldur’s Gate 3. I have a problem. I want to pick up everything and sell it. That takes a lot of time. I also switch my party around all the time to try to work companions quests
I think most people pick a group and stick with that group. Also most people don’t need to pick up a fork and sell it. I may have to change my play style it i want to finish the game anytime soon.
Oh and I am loving this game. It plays very well with my Ubuntu/Nvidia/Steam PC.
I have a similar thing, but I got over it by committing to robbing every vendor of everything they have. Then there’s no one to buy the stupid fork.
In my case I’m finishing Sea of Stars, a very good old-school RPG. You get 22h+ of main story in easy mode, I think it is worth the price.
I’m looking forward to getting into it. It looks so good! Loved the demo
I finished that one up last week and loved it! Might be my GotY, honestly.
I gave in to the hype and bought BG3. And this is the first time in ages where I’ve bought a brand new AAA game and not been disappointed.
I have a brand new PC, so it’s about time I ran something more demanding than Factorio on it.
Factorio is a pretty demanding game as long as you play long enough
I know. I have an angelbob megabase save that clocks in at 788MB. To play it I need to add an additional 16GB of swap. I figured that it was about time the GPU did some heavy lifting too.
Completely in love with Starfield. Just finished a big storyline that had the feel of a good TV serial. The sort of self-directed epilogue of looking at my quest log and trying decide what I want to do next felt awesome and I’m going to be chasing that for while.
Same here, played the UC SysDef undercover questline yesterday and couldn’t stop playing, so i ended up playing until 3 am lol. The amount of stuff that’s in all those side quests is amazing.
That’s the one I was talking about! What did you do in the end? I stuck with space cops and regretted it until they gave me the reward. Big chunk of change.
I did the same, wouldn’t have fit my character to choose the pirates lol.
Might turn into a criminal in my NG+ run later on and choose the pirates instead haha
And yeah definitely worth the credits^^
Yeah I’m trying to play a sort of Picard paragon but I’m already thinking a sort of loveable scoundrel anti-hero for my next play through.
I’ve recently started playing deep rock galactic and it’s an amazing game.
Such a great game and community which I feel was enabled by the devs who has the forethought to make spamming a cheer button so enjoyable! End result: everyone cheers and the community gets just that little more happy.
Rock and stone!
Rock and Stone!
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Rock and Stone brother!
Rock and Stone!
Borderlands. Always thought it was an arcade/retro shooter, turns out it’s an rpg. It was exactly what I was looking for. Although I don’t really understand why some of my shots miss
Noita, kind of. It’s daunting knowing how much there’s to the game and I seldomly get past the first level
Great game I could never get past the bad generated items and associated stats. The effect it had on boss item drops reducing the value of them so much it became little reward to me.
I’ve been playing Cities Skylines a lot - got pulled back in with all the talk about the new one - and also Going Under.
Going Under is one of those games I bought a while ago because it seemed fun, played for a bit, got my ass kicked more than what I was used to with roguelites and stopped for a while. I started playing it again recently and think it finally made sense to me. Looking back, I probably wasn’t paying much attention to the game the first time I tried it because I didn’t understand there was an indication for weapon damage on different weapons - which made weapon choice feel random - and I also didn’t understand how the mentor system worked - which is a big part of the strategy of the game. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it now, though.
Metro Last Light, Lies of P and RDR2. Mid, fast and slow paced games lol.
Got Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale the other day on Steam and been pleasantly surprised with it. Sometimes I’ll blow the ship up for giggles and restart.
I also just got it on sale. I told a friend my dream game was a sim where you scrap and dismantle different Star Wars ships and vessels - they pointed me towards this game right during the sale. It’s been a lot of fun!
Baldurs Gate 3 was released on Friday on Mac. I played the preview and some hours on parallels and am glad now I can play natively now.
My problem is, this world is to big. I like role playing my character, even if it is not optimal. I read every dialogue and think: “what would Hsslek (my Githyanki Dragonborn Wizard) do?”
The great thing is, after around 50 hours I now have a picture of my character. A curious mind, not always fitting into Githyanki society, but counting on the Githyanki Warrior who shares his fate and is becoming his lover.
Playing Starfield. I love exploring and I love the atmosphere. The least buggy launch I’ve seen from Bethesda. It’s great.
I wanna get back into AC6 and try my hand at pvp but every time I try I get nervous and chicken out. If anyone knows of a place for noobs to hangout, chat, and learn the game please let me know.
Cyberpunk baby!!! Spent 100 hours before the update, time to spent 100+ more again with the new content!!
I’ve always been a PC gamer but I just got a retroid pocket 3 plus so I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of old console games that I never played. I’m having tons of fun just building a rom collection and seeing what this thing can do. Best $150 I’ve spent this year, hands down.
Dynamite cop on the Dreamcast is awesome, soulcalibur is possibly the most enjoyable fighter I’ve ever tried, and all the Mario karts are great stupid fun. I really need to rebind my controls though, Mario kart is killing my thumb lol.
There’s also some great android games that are just so cool when played on the TV with a controller like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT Shredders revenge.
Those little handhelds look so cool! But I just got a Steam Deck a couple months ago, and I have a modded 3DS, and I work from home and don’t really have a legitimate use for another portable system haha
Maybe I’ll get it for myself for Christmas or something. What’s the OS situation? Or more to the point, is it easy enough to add roms and emulators and navigate to the game you want each time you turn it on?
It runs android and comes pretty bare. You have to install your own standalone emulators, set up retroarch, and supply all your own roms. I’m a bit of a tech dork so setting it up was part of the fun for me but if you want it ready to go out of the box this is not the device for you.
I use Daijisho as a front end to browse through all the games and platforms and its been working well for me. I followed the Retro Game Corps video on setting it all up, that guy knows his stuff.
I’ve been thinking about grabbing a steam deck for a while and I think a lot of those little handhelds would complement it pretty nicely as they’re actually pocketable, though your DS might fill that niche for you already. Steam deck for me would be just be chilling on the couch playing games but the rp3+ seems like it’s a lot easier to just throw in a bag and go.
How do you like the deck so far?
Cool, thanks. I’ll definitely look into the setup before I get one. I don’t mind fiddling to set it up, as long as once it’s set up, it’s quick and simple to use.
Yeah, between the 3DS and the Deck my portable needs are probably well covered. I have a Switch too, but I really only use that for Ring Fit Adventure anymore (the exercise game)
The Deck is a really nice piece of kit. It’s “portable” in a very different way than the 3DS though. I’m not putting the Deck in my pocket, and in its case it takes up a huge chunk of my backpack. Also it’s kinda tiring to play handheld, just because it’s so big and heavy. But for gaming for an hour or less, I really like it. Perfect for chillin on the couch while my wife watches her murder show
I’m looking forward to the ownership base growing—hopefully more games that don’t traditionally support controllers (like Civ and Cities Skylines, etc) will in the years to come. I’ve used the Deck trackpad in games a little, but it’s not an enjoyable experience.
Just switched from starfield back to cyberpunk for the 2.0 update. It’s consuming my life again. When I finish the dlc I’ll switch back to starfield and let that consume my life.
Same here dude haha. Starfield was fun, but man has Night City just sucked me back in. I love Cyberpunk so much. I am looking forward to going back to Starfield at some point, it is a great chill out and vibe kinda game.
I’m trying to figure out the riddle on Gerudo Desert in Zelda TotK.
May you put the last part into a spoiler tag? Thank you.
The syntax is::: spoiler Spoiler content :::No line embedded spoiler currently supported for now, unfortunately.
Weird, because that’s what I used and it shows as blocked for me.
Edit: I just deleted that line.
Some clients may support features that Lemmy doesn’t, especially if they are Reddit client ports. For now the only official way is the one I linked.
Good idea.
Still not the right spoiler tag.
