Trying to Clean Hands your way through Dishonoured 2 is frustrating as feth, as you can't be certain your unconscious enemies won't be devoured by wandering rats.

Has found a good way to deal with this?

I might be wrong but I think rats spawn less the higher above ground you are, so maybe try dragging the unconscious bodies to an upper story of a building? It's something my friend did when he played.

The unconscious people dying so easily (dumping the body from too high up is really risky in most difficulties if you're going for low chaos, and then there's the bodies getting eaten) is a bullgak mechanic though.

Alternatively, don't knock so many people out. Use your powers and distraction to get past without needing to neutralise them, if possible.

Both good suggestions, thanks. I am trying to get Clean Hands, Ghostly and Flesh and Steel in one go. It's tough

Flesh and Steel is certainly going to make it trickier by limiting your traversal capabilities.

FFXIV Stormblood expansion.

Same! Just hit 70 on my AST. I'm not sure I like it more than Heavensward but that's not a bit knock given how much I like the MSQ for that one. Honestly Raubahn EX aside I'm thoroughly impressed so far.

Might jump back into Mankind Divided tonight. First play through I managed the non lethal kills achievement. This time though I just want to pewpewpew.

It's a bunch of Switch games as they come out.

My current game is ARMS, this will probably alternate with Splatoon 2 when that's released.

I bring Mario Kart with me when I leave home.

I'm currently playing Friday the 13th: The Game. Despite some of the glitches I've seen, this game is a crap ton of fun.

Does anyone think Galactic Civilizations 3 is a good game? I'm thinking of buying the bundle for it during the Steam Summer Sale, and I'd like some opinions on how good it is and whether it would be worth dropping $30 for the game and all of its expansions.

Dawn of War II...I'm a little behind.

Picked up Shadow of Mordor. So far quite fun.

I ended up with the first DoW game at some point during a steam sale, so you aren't the most behind.

I just landed my ship on the coast of England in Expedition: Viking. Going to explore once I get home from work.

I got a pretty well rounded warband (hyrd I think they call it) 2 Sword and board warriors, 1 Spearman, 1 Archer, and 1 Healer. The last three can be changed out as a Beserker, Rogue and Skald, if I wanted too, but I'm so far pretty set in my ways and strategies.

I'm playing as a fairly reasonable dude, so I'm sure I'll be punished later for my early merciful decisions. One member of my group is already disgruntled. We'll see how far it goes after I hopefully strike a some sort of deal with whatever English faction I landed near.

My next play through I'm going to be a merciless bastard, and see what happens.

Also picked up Company of Heroes 1 in a sale! So that's next.

I picked up Prison Architect and started playing that. I'm in the middle of the prison riot mission, and the body count is growing rapidly.

Still playing Expedition: Viking.

Traveled across northern england on a quest to get some hot blonde's items from her former lovers. Had to kill two of them, the other one gave it up without a fight. Got the items. Magic happened.

My character now has an injury "Infection: Groin".

I'd do it again.

Also lost loyalty to the female member of my warband that I was romancing. Who'd of thunk it?

Console-wise, finally finishing Dark Souls after years of letting the game gather dust.

Hilariously it's pre-patched so I get perks like certain enemies respawning when they shouldn't be because it makes the game a bit too easy and I can only warp to three bonfires instead of every one that I've visited.

On mobile i'm horribly addicted to the Mordheim app. If you've been attacked by warbands called Bretonnian Questors, The Baron's Blades or Azyrheim Auxiliaries then know that they're mine.

No. If you play for the campaign super no (it's nearly non-existent). I don't have all the DLC which may have fixed it but if you're trying to scratch that 4X itch play Endless Space 2 or Endless Legend. I have all 3 of those games and the Endless series outdoes everything gal civ 3 tries to do. All the factions in the Endless Series play very differently. It's not a copy paste with little change. Hell if you play with or against a good drakken player in EL you'll find that diplomacy is more destructive than war. They can force diplomacy with you whether you want it or not. Want to fight me too bad we're at peace now? In fact let's be allies so i can win the diplomacy victory. Don't like it? I have far more influence points than you so what i want goes so sucks to be you.

I am revisiting my gaming childhood/adolescence recently. From Ebay over the past month or so, I have bought a SNES, N64 and Gamecube along with a bunch of games. Currently working my way through all those games I never got the chance to play properly or finish. As an aside, SNES games have rocketed in price. Trying to get a PAL Turtles in Time for a reasonable price is an exercise in frustration.

Currently playing through Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Waiting for Super Metroid and Super Castlevania to arrive - hopefully, this weekend!

I finished my Corvo, Low Chaos playthrough of Dishounoured 2 last night. Med difficulty, and I got the Flesh & Steel, Shadow and Clean Hands.

Now for the Emily, High Chaos, Very Hard murderfest!

In the first Dark Souls you couldn't warp to every bonfire, only to certain ones. That is somewhat countered by not having to return to the shrine to level up or upgrade your gear.

Really? Hmm, okay then. Heard people say you could warp to ones you visited like the crystal cave bonfire.

Hmm, off the top of my head the ones I remember that I think you can warp to are Firelink, Anar Londo (the first bonfire you find there), Bonfire in front of Gwynevere, Queelags sister (hidden behind an illusory wall between the Queelag bossfight and the Demon Ruins bonfire which is the closest to the Ceaseless Discharge fight), The Painted World of Ariamis, The Depths, Crystal Caves (bonfire after beating Seath).

Pretty sure there is more but cannot remember at the moment. And of course you can only warp after getting the Lordvessel from Gwynevere.

The crash bandicoot nsane trilogy. Got the second last copy in the shop too.

Well, I picked up Stardew Valley in the Steam Summer sale. I haven't played it too much yet, just getting started, but I can already tell that game is a massive "black hole for time". It's pretty interesting and different from games I've played before.

Abigail is best waifu!

Did you take my advice with the 'Endless' Series and skip gal civ 3?

I did pass on gal civ 3, and I just bought ES1. Sadly, the second one is not even on sale right now, so I'm gonna give it a miss for now.

Just got a copy of Fallout 4 on my PS4. Don't expect to play it at all, but a second hand copy of the Pip-boy edition for the cost of Deadpool (dreadful game), Uncharted 4 [which I will replace in a week or so.], a Red Dwarf bobblehead, and a Blade statue, plus £13, was too good to miss.

I can now add the hardware that I thought I would never get as the start of a costume - plus I can always use it for my PC version where I have a HUGE amount of time sunk into.

Result!

Now all I need is to get a bigger smartphone. My Galaxy 5s mini means the screen doesn't show properly. May pick up a second-hand S4 just for the pip-boy screen. Was thinking of upgrading, so may just go for an S7 first and see if that works.
