Wait, this is a thing? I've never encountered that before, and I've put 250+ hours into my Skyrim campaign

Well it is. I noticed because I never seen an Orc and Dark Elves as Imperial soldiers. Eventually I stumbled over the real soldiers dead bodies. I restarded the game as a mage and suddenly I encounter completely different things I never seen before. I never had the Thalmor come after me or had a Mage challenger.

I recall this as well.

I am playing Lightning Returns, ATM.

I think the Thalmor just dislike human mages, for some reason. I know I've never gotten so pissed at the elves as when I trued running a pure mage Imperial.

Also, how does the spellcheck not know what a Mage is- or the word "spellcheck" for that matter?

Picked up Space Engineers - if this game gets finished properly... it will be the best thing ever.

Holy feth, Last of Us is beyond infuriating. I'm about to put it on easy mode

World of tanks for the 360

not bad for free

I thought the headless horseman ghost horse was kind of spooky, but you can go to a particular place to find that. I've been held up by a single thief, had the mage challenger thing (ahh yeah, just had to add 'mage' to dictionary lol) happen, lots of assassins/thugs contracted after me for my petty theft.. The three heavily armored guys are my least favorite for certain characters, sometimes you just aren't ready for those.. Also.. surprise bears is no fun

Trying to decide between icewind dale/2, planescape torment, and the nwn2 mod that duplicates bg1. Playing a d3 barbarian of low levels when I can't concentrate enough on other things, and cause mighty thews.

Having a fair bit of fun with Loadout. Swapped 1 part on the basic gun and I love my new weapon When you can jump into a game and start losing then pull the team back to victory with 35 kills and under 10 deaths you know you have a good gun. Saying that it was collector so playing the objective helped more. The bad thing about loadout?? some of the store stuff is a bit out of whack with the prices, roughly £10 for a taunt is not good pricing.

When not killing on Loadout I can be found playing a bit of Euro Truck Sim 2, I use it to listen to music at the same time.

I ended up getting skyrim for my ps3 ans am about to start that. Even though I downloaded it from steam on my pc. I just prefer playing on the console to being hunched over a computer.

I have only recently returned to gaming and trying to make a list of all the games ever worth playing on ps3 before I sell it off and open up my ps4. So far I have finished mass effect 1 & 2, farcry 3 and last of us. Currently playing skyrim. Any other games that I must play, uncharted? Fallout? Red dead redemption? Cheers guys.

Just got done playing Catan against stupid cheating PS3 AI... dang you Magellan!!!!!

Actually really enjoying Dragon's Prophet, didn't not expect that.

Currently playing Don't Starve on PS4 for lack of any other games for the console (already beat Killzone and was quite disappointed). It's fun, but not sure what the overall point is. I'm also just about done with XCOM: Enemy Within for PC, and it was an excellent expansion to an already excellent game. I wish that the in-game narration could be done by randomly selected soldiers instead of the one omniscient commander, but that's just me. And lastly I'm chugging along on Mechwarrior Online and kicking a lot of ass with way too many autocannons. It's really a good game, but the devs could be doing a better job with it.

Presently installing Icewind Dale 2, couldn't stop myself. Already wishing it was an enhanced edition I could have gotten from steam instead of GoG... I can already detect the unmistakable odor of... issues... Oh well. It'll be nice to romp around in third edition rules for a change.

I just returned to SWTOR. I am finally going to finish leveling a Sith Juggernaut, goddamnit. The much-ballyhooed starfighter PVP is utter gak.

So, just finished two games of War thunder, first one was Britain on lone island. Went after a wellington in my heavy beaufighter X. Guy in a spitfire overshot the wellington, then rammed me on purpose.

He then machine gunned me in the back.

We lost the match because of that action (lost the last plane). Second match was better. Britain again, and won by the skin of our teeth in heavy fog

Gnomoria, basically Dwarf Fortress but with actual graphics. I also played a bit of Banished yesterday but I'm quite disappointed with it.

i've been goin throwback lately. Just finished up Red Dead Redemption not too long ago

But if my Xbox has a game in it .. it's usually Diablo 3. It;s no D2 mind you ... but it's still fun to decimate diablo's fiends!

^That's how I felt about diablo3. Its new, different, and maybe it doesn't hold up to D2... but it can still be fun given half a chance. Of course, your xbox version already has the less-lame loot system, so that helps.

Think I'm going to give in to my chronic alt-itis and start up IWD2, after I gave in and downloaded it from GoG's downloader, it installed properly and seems to play (for now). Time to come up with a themed (potentially to a fault) party and get stuck in.

GT5. Haven't bought 6 yet..

yeah Loot 2.0 is clearly the way to go .. if only they'd change it up on PC ... cuz on my Xbox version at Paragon 50 i hit a legendary atleast every 30
minutes on average ... Still hunting Zunnimassa tho

I think they're doing it for the expansion. I never really play enough for it to matter, but picking up non-useless gear may be fun for a change.

Diablo 3. I know, I'm way late to the game. It's fun though.

I'm not even vaguely interested in playing D3 until such time as I can play it offline.

Also waiting until the much vaunted offline mode to get and play the latest simcity.
(and cities of tmw)

It's supposed to be a pre-expansion patch for the PC players, killing off the real money auctionhouse at the same time.

Yeah that. May get me to play but I don't have time like I used to.

Finally got my new PC enabling me to play Lord of the Rings online (If anyone wants to play with me please send PM)
League of Legends (See above)
and Space Marine. My brother has ordered DoW 2 and I'm thinking on starting Mechwarrior Online sometime

Around 40% downloaded I was able to start playing it which was nice.

Loving it.

Full-priced AAA game releases, now with added microtransactions!

Which you don't have to utilize at all.

Also $39.99 is not "full price". The game is $37.99 preowned from GameStop and $59.99 new.

...Why? Even if it get's offline mode it's still a fundamentally flawed game. The simulation part of the game is non-existent. Don't waste time and money on this piece of crap.
