If you can even see anything in that dinky picture, It's supposed to be people walking into a room, in the predecessor to "Avowed" which jaded-gameplayers seem to dislike.
People recommend this game, pillars of eternity.
People who must've been in hospital waiting-rooms, IDK, it looks absolutely awful.

So what I read somewhere was some random diss, there are no girls to kiss (I guess)
Anything not soldiers bundled up with gigantic rifles must therefore be too gay,
And the story is generic monster fighting.
What makes a generic monster-killing, mountain-climbing game memorable anyway?
Everyone has their own idea.
I don't like cabins in the woods where the undead come to attack relentlessly unless you have a flame-torch to burn them away with, genre.
And if the highlight of the game is getting into a car or riding a horse, forget that too.
Do chatty people want to drag you into some piddly quest?
I literally ran away from these characters in (um) whatever I am playing now.
- Go get the milk for the old lady who can't go to the store
- Along the way, meet the homeless guy desperate for a hamburger
- (get the scratcher from the hamburger place)
- Miss your bus to go to the doctor, he's closed when you get there, and your life slowly ends (the end)
"
CRPG" is a word I need to look up, as well as the name of the game (Horizon forbidden-west) I'm playing now.
"!" is usually an indicator I avoid like the measles, and wifi messages to drop in on some town to try the meat.
Beeeecause, inevitably I'll get entangled in some piddly quest that forgets about the main quest (e.g., your doctor appointment)
What?
O!
"Avowed"
IDK. Maybe all the shills are betting on a discount or a sale, but since they already got the game free, I fail to see the point.
The reddit thread I linked to has a few posts who say they are anti-woke, and passes "Avowed" as OK for Anti-woke people.
As opposed to a game I never heard of, "Veilguard."
Int..eresting.
Is it cheaper than "Avowed"?
Are the characters teeny stick figures?
Wait, I gotta go look.

| Pink and purple, never a good sign |
The most bombastic blog-entry in the world, ever, for all time,
I'm avoiding my main quest, which is, picking a cheap game.
I should get back on track.
HOW MUCH is "Veilguard"?
If (for example) it is 59.95, I'll buy Avowed.
But if they discounted it to please Musk-fans, I'll try it (maybe)
 |
| What would (insert woke/anti-woke hero) buy? |
 |
"tenderqueer earnestness"
And how do you feel about that? |
I still don't know, even after the bombasts,what either game is about.
IDK... not enough B&W kill choices?
Since when does buying a fucking game declare your sexual proclivities?
I'm righteously pissed.
Fight the intolerant assholes!!
(And stuff)
vs
Canola Lore.
I like Canola (FOAD, Olive)
But maybe...I'll try "Avowed" first, since I can't get a straight answer about plots.
Can you kiss the princess or not!? (Geez)
 |
If you like Beets and Brussel sprouts,
you'll LOVE asparagus in Crawfish pie. |
I don't think I said that right.
"Kingdom-come" was awful. Period.
I still own it, I'll never play it.
Farmer's slowish kid rides to a castle (Why is this supposed to be good?)
"Wanted something more" are you kidding?
Squid-flavored popcorn.
Kimchi on liver.
Someone somewhere just loves those things.
Lancelot (senor Balles) falls in love with Princess Decollete
and slays mighty dragons to please her.
Does she get a clue or does she give him a limp hand to kiss and some ceremonial sword?
Decollete is under the spell of the mustachioed Fallas.
Lancelot is mortally wounded.
(O well) c'est la vie
So far, Avowed is OK.
Assuming I haven't forgotten some bill (it was a hefty $70),
or chosen the wrong character type,
or missed out on some attribute point (dexterity vs intelligence, etc)
I like it, kind of.
To write this I had to stop, which disables my cheat-trainer, and I'm not sure yet which cheats to train.
But I'm confused so far. Someone is trying to kill us?
(Everyone, yeah, but someone from the mainland sunk our ship)
My character *could* look vaguely like someone if I knew what the slide controllers did.
I think I messed up the cheeks.
I'm too tired to play, but so far It's OK.
Like many games of this genre, there is a lot of walking, and some dialogue choices, and moral issues. My waking dream today was being a well-respected colleague in some hospital, but the fleeting dream made little sense otherwise.
As the dream ended, someone was trying to tell me that they had assisted a suicide, and they were pretty broken up about it. They never used the actual word "Suicide," it was a code, similar to "? 07D"
So I googled "07d" (part of the code) and there are codes, but the implications of the dream were that this was an internal code only used by nurses, and not something they'd announce.
Anyway, my brain must've translated a game scene about a game-character's friend dying and how he dealt with it.
You get limited responses to what people tell you, things like "I'm so sorry," or "He was better off" (whatever,) and the exact thing you'd say isn't always listed.
These game characters have issues, I suppose, to flesh them out and make them more appealing.
It's unsettling, because what if you say the wrong thing?
The game results aren't in yet, but because I do what I want,
and I have not googled the exact correct responses (yet,)
My brain made up a dream about it, I guess.
The world might fail, because of something I said.

I almost get this.

Bad guys: Loedwyn and her Goddess Woedica
Good Guys: Ambassador what's his name.
Bad guys: The guy in Volcano-(Solace)-keep.
(less bad but hard to live with, his wife)
It's one of those extremely familiar (but hard to remember) games where a narrator reads a book at the end of the game, maybe like "Fallout" and a couple others.
Your choices matter, and some of the very limited choices (it is decreed) shall suck.
Someone somewhere will give you a severe tongue lashing, while you read answers from a script.
Act the fool
Be the asshole
Lord it over everyone
But the game is worth playing a couple of times (It had better be, for the price.)
In Scifi I'm thinking about, If you can't fake an accent you refer to stuff obliquely and shift verbs and pronouns.
Chauncey Gardiner ("Chance the Gardener") did this in the movie "Being there" and people thought he was very wise, only talking about plants.
The Gardener in the game does the exact same and you have to wonder if she is wise, or backwards somehow.
The letdowns are very few.
You're a daughter of a god, but it gets you no biggie powers (you get powers, if you can actually use them in the heat of battle)
And keys and secret buttons (for first-time-players) are tough without Google.
Cheating is good. Cheating works. But no one promotes you and you don't get much more than a cool sword,
No romancing, just a chatty tease here and there, And the most self-confident woman is Ryngrim, a minor character who pops up occasionally (like some guest star.)
She talks like some BDSM star but never does anything.
The tree (see picture) also makes cameo appearances, but the most bombastic people are the most minor.
But I enjoyed it anyway.
I await mods, and stuff.
The walking cat (elf, whatever) could be the most enticing. I'm undecided.
It's like most of the cast came from Egypt (or Mars.)
I have cool scars.
Independence, United EU, not bow to the oligarchs and evil minions (inquisition), I got it as right as I could have, the second time.
My only question is what the hell to do with all the crap they make you collect.
Also, I'm hiding behind being a fighter, bcuz being a mage sucks.
Couldn't I be a noble-born mage / soothsayer and still kick butt??
I walk around in a black jumper. I guess that's OK, hmm
