    The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The amulet of chaos, PCG hasn't talked about it?

    That makes sense--although it does seem to introduce other perplexing issues if you don't know your battle order... it seems like you could save-scumm either way, just change the tactics of save-scumming. I think I read somewhere that there are interesting adjustments designers make to RNG so...

    The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The amulet of chaos, PCG hasn't talked about it?

    I'm digging the new updates--being able to randomise the RNG every load is a godsend. I wonder why they designed the system with a fixed RNG in the first place--would love to learn more about their game logic. The only thing a little bit frustrating is the endless wandering to find the...

    Wasteland 3

    I'm probably waiting for the Patch 1.3--I know it may be foolish to wait, but the amount of bugs still being reported for Patch 1.2 is giving me pause. I can't wait to play this! (And Cyberpunk!) (And so many other janky released, overly ambitious games!)

    Giveaway Win the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Collector's Edition From PC Gamer and Ubisoft!

    I would be a Viking stove, like many others have noted. Probably used, slightly banged up, and prone to flares if given too much oily meat.

    Question Which Game You're Playing Right Now?

    I'm kind of hitting the same issue at this point--half way through the game, and it's become more chore than fun--which is absolutely a first world problem--but I'm with you. Would much rather be able to pause, queue up a sequence, and then see how it goes. Like Frozen Synapse, maybe. The way...

    Question Which Game You're Playing Right Now?

    Ah! I just got this, and I want to get into it, but still fussing with Desperados 3. Which feels more and more like a puzzle game and less and less like tactics/strategy, in that there's a seeming sequence to knocking off the folks and maybe only a couple sequence options... so I may jet! How...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Thanks for the great recap - I'm kind of with you, even though I'm not even done with the second chapter. I'm kind of wandering/waiting for something to happen (an ancient curse three), as I turned kingdom management to auto. I like figuring out some of the mechanics, but for me, Divinity...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Out of curiosity, what level are your characters by the end the game typically?

    Desperados 3 - Love it/hate it/meh?

    I just got D3 - and same emotional journey happened as with Shadow Tactics. Super excited joyful exploration of the first few levels, followed by a sense of determined drudgery through the next few levels, followed by a sense of dread of more levels. I think I'm missing something--because...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Gotcha--thanks! It's very odd, this clock thing. But until BA3 gets its sealegs, this ain't bad! And there are moments of oddness that are really quite cool!

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    So my team is finally around level 7/8--and I turned on auto kingdom/no fail kingdom just after all the reviews/forum posts. So I think I'm just waiting until something happens and the story advances? I've pretty much explored everything I can in terms of sites. The game is definitely...

    Torchlight 3

    Ack--are you saying wait? Or don't get it even when it's patched? It's a bummer because I really liked Torchlight 2!

    Wasteland 3

    Thanks! I think that sells it for me -- good point around year 1 or year 2. Part of my worry is missing any major QoL updates that, as I recall, came in later patches for WL2, but if the gaming experience you had was pretty good, then less worried! Def want to scratch FO3 itch, so to speak...

    Wasteland 3

    Ok - I'm just gonna ask this - don't shoot me, but is anyone thinking about waiting for the inevitable "big patch" before playing? I didn't do this for Divinity Original Sin 2, and I regretted it, as I don't usually replay long CRPG's over. Wasteland 2 had a director's edition, and I wonder...

    The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The amulet of chaos, PCG hasn't talked about it?

    This caught my eye too! I read some of the Steam reviews re: the RNG nature - did you find that at all?
