Finally getting back to this, with my main character as an Aedyrn rogue this time. I'm enjoying it a lot more this time for some reason than the first time I played. My character's background is as a mercenary and I'm playing as more of a hard ass than I usually do, which may account for some of the enjoyment. That, and my DPS is pretty wonderful...

I really enjoy the lore in this game. I'm kind of tired of the same old DnD style fantasy; it's nice to have the twists Bioware came up with for this.

I actually don't really like games.

I don't mind 'traditional' Tolkein/medieval fantasy, when it's done well.  It's just rarely done well is all

Den has played it and it's expansion a lot; she keeps saying she's going to get back into it at some point.

I still haven't given this one the playing time it deserves (along with so many other games :buck2: ).  It's still high on my to-do list, though. 


Anyone tried out Deadfire yet?

Not until I get through the first one and DLC, and there's a sale...

BTW - Darkest Dungeon is a gem of a game - frustrating but fun.

Darkest Dungeon is the first game to make me full-on rage quit in a long time.

Great game, but, oooooooh...

Bought DD this week since it was on sale, but no idea when I'll get around to playing it.

Yes, it can be a little......................frustrating ................at times.

I picked up the DLC in a sale, and so far I've sunk 186 hours into it and unlocked 64%. I'm giving it a rest for now though. :nerd:
