Playing dragon age inquisition. Decided to go with a human rouge but may re roll.

I grabbed 'Never Alone'. Haven't played more than the first couple of levels, though, which are focused on getting you used to the game and the controls.

You've got a narrator speaking in his native tongue (one of the Alaskan native tribes; I don't think any of the info I've seen has specified which one) with subtitles, providing the narrative to the story while you work your way through the level. Play is divided between two characters - the heroine, and her arctic fox companion. You can either switch between the characters as needed, or play with two people. The game appears to be a platform/puzzle game. The fox can enter tight spaces, climb better than the girl, wall jump, and cause spirits to appear that work as platforms. It's unclear what the girl does better than the fox, though I'll probably figure that out very soon as I play more of the game.

Sounds amusing and booooooo! Down with Nilfgard

I'm one of those guys who thinks Nilfgaard's a pretty good place

You dont say Nilfgard seems as decent to me as a Gulag camp seemed to freeethinkers in the USSR to me

I'm NOT playing Dragon Age 3.

I have had a very badly timed holiday. - For oh so many reasons.

Really enjoying dragon age 3 so far. Vast improvement over 2

I just started metro 2033. My laptop is having a bit of trouble, it's very warm, but it's rather nice on this cold winter day.

There is no such thing as DA;3. It's the third installment. But it's DA:I.

Imo, that's just being picky. It's not like there are loads of spin-offs and standalones; there are only 3 DA titles, so saying DA3 is perfectly okay. It's not difficult to tell which game they mean.

Currently getting fed up of Iron Banner in Destiny...

At least there's not a lot of crime and corruption, and there 's racial equality!

Currently playing DA:I, too.

playing This War of Mine. Only just started, looking interesting so far

Same thing, I am sure you knew what I meant.

Just going through the God of War collection (HD remakes of the PS2 games), forgotten how much fun those games were!

Would be interested to hear what you think of that, seems a rather original looking game.

Whilst it may be picky, and there may be three Dragon Age titles, there is no such thing as DA:3. It is the third in the series, but it is called DA:I. I am a stickler for detail

Looking into a game called 7 Days to Die. Waiting for a Steam sale, but it should be interesting.

For now, defaulting to Blood Bowl.

Been playing Farcry 4, and enjoying it so far. Will report further when I have sowed more mayhem in Kyrat

I'm really interested in hearing about this as well. It looks like something I would really like, but I haven't got the time or the money to spend right now.

I'm really enjoying Metro 2033, although I have done my usual thing of coping accents. Talking with a bad Russian accent is entertaining.

I haven't gotten very far yet, only a couple of in-game days. I'm liking it though, it's got a dark atmosphere going.

It's a bit like Lost In Blue on the DS, gameplay-wise.

As I'm on holiday away from my proper PC, I've been playing The Last Court in preparation for Dragon Age 3 when my holiday finishes. I dont think I'm doing particularly good at it but I think no I can't lose the game until the time runs out

I'm interested to hear your take on this (maybe start a thread when you play it?) because I am really on the fence. OTOH it looks like it creates some realistic moral delimmas. But OTOH I wonder if that is just designed to sort force you to do terrible things as part of a prepackaged point.

Currently engaging in what appears to be my last 6 days of MMO gameplay. Those types of game remind me of why I hate people.

This is hearsay but I've heard that the moral dilemmas, from what I've experienced at least combined with what others have mentioned, seem rather organic. They are coded but there's those tense moments where you'll do a variable amount of things.

Past that it has randomly procedure events where you can chose to do things or not but I haven't had anything like Spec ops where it really just forces you in a more inorganic way. I'll agree on interest.

As per myself mostly been playing Dragon Age Origins, Pokemon, and mixing it up with Shadowrun. A bit of The War of Mine but not enough just because I've been wanting to play these other games for a long while now and a combination of suddenly time being available and the new Pokemon releases just swamped it. Bought it to support it and play a bit and will return later for sure. (Also just reroll if you start in winter. That is the most difficult start)

Viscera Cleanup Detail, which I finally got around to buying. It's fun, but nowhere near as fun when you start playing it in coop. It makes flipping your gak over a tipped bucket or a body exploding into meaty chunks and ruining a freshly cleaned section all the more delightful.

Finished the original campaign for NWN, my increasingly half dragon gnome just didn't seem to give a crap about impending world domination/destruction, and the baddies all fell to his fancy magical katana. If anything, it started getting a bit easy at the end, but I did try to soak up as much xp as possible while going thru the game and I layered and stacked my magic items for maximum effectiveness.

I thought the plot ended up better than I gave it credit for. Not sure I'd want to play through it over and over, but that's why there are multiple modules.

Now I shall start the high/epic level expansion and maybe the alternate campaign with a new hero.

The expansions for NWN (i.e. Undrentide and Hordes) both officially have a new protagonist who starts his career in Undrentide, and finishes it in Hordes. Just an FYI. There are various comments and bits of dialogue regarding that in the second expansion.

Doesn't mean you're forced to play it that way, of course.

Huh, well I designed the little gnome to be a persuasive sort, and there seems to be a lot more 'talk your way out of or into stuff' options in the second one, so I could just as well play the same guy again.

Thanks for the tip though, it would suck to miss out on all of the references =/

Undrentide is supposed to be one of the best bioware games, everything bioware is known for was supposed to be perfectly in balance there.

Of course, dumb me just did the minimum to get through the game as what I really wanted to know was what happened to Aribeth.
