I’ve been playing the Cyberpunk DLC and just finished that last night. Aside from some annoying bugs that was pretty fun.
I’m nearing the end of my first BG 3 playthrough that I’ve been streaming with a friend. We decided to go Dark Urge and it’s made this kind of a weird first playthrough. It’s been fun but I think in hindsight it would have been better to have a more normal first run then go back for this. Also, found a kind of funny bug (?) in the vampire boss fight. The boss has some property that says he can’t be moved by physical or magical means. But when I threw that legendary spear that has a knock back AoE, it sent him off the cliff and that was the fight aside from mopping up the ads.
Aside from that I’m always playing TFT occasionally. I climbed higher than I ever did before: 200 LP masters before I hit another funk and started backsliding.
My first playthrough right now is also Dark Urge. I thought it would be especially hard as a good character (Paladin/Bard) but at the beginning of Act 2 I have to say: apart from an early Camp event there was nothing problematic Dark Urge related until now. Mostly murderous thoughts I could ignore without any dice rolls and a few more Camp events that only added some flavour.
I figured it just made sense to lean into it once I realized what it was. I didn’t go FULL murder hobo, but I ended up doing enough to trigger a bunch of special quest stuff unique to the Dark Urge. I still think this was probably better as a 2nd play through, but I was pretty satisfied with all the content the game had to fill the gaps caused by me… suddenly cutting off some quest lines.
Currently taking my sweet time playing No Man’s Sky. I bought it on release, never played until recently, and couldn’t be happier. Avoiding the story, building a massive base, and exploring the cosmos has never been so satisfying. Next up on my list of games to check out again is Cyberpunk. Everyone and their mother says it’s better now, so I figure it’s worth a shot.
I was playing the new DLC recently and I encountered some brand new bugs that I didn’t see on my first playthrough. Sometimes after completing a quest, the game would just lock me out of certain features like the map, journal, inventory, phone, etc. only way to fix it was to reload.
First thing that I did in the DLC was to start an original game mission that I hadn’t done on this character but I couldn’t complete it. I think that it was the one with Lizzy where you had to get into a nightclub and talk to someone. I couldn’t get past the bouncer even though I had max street cred and the two side entrances were also not active.
I’ve done the mission in another character with no issues.
I finally got around installing OpenMW and started playing.
Feels good to relive my first “serious” RPG experience.
BG3 still.
