Currently Downloading the patches and main mods for Star Wars Battlefront II after years of vanilla.

Skyrim!

Trying to get all the Steam Achievements for it (for whatever reason) so this is my like, 4th play through.

It feels kinda weird knowing when and where enemies spawn and stuff like that. Hmmmmm...

Knights of the Old Republic.

One soldier and two scoundrels.

Mainly to look at saber customisation in preparation for my Kyberlight being delivered in September.

EU4, Hearts of iron 4, Starsector, Hearthstone, WoT.

All I've been playing lately is Overwatch. Cyborg ninjas are fun.

Also I finished Dark Souls 3 a while ago but I've been listening to the final bosses theme today.

The entire game was worth it JUST for that final boss. Probably my favourite fight in video game history. I don't know if I've cried during a boss before. Only so good if you've beaten the first game though.

I just picked up used copies of the first three Uncharted games for my PS3, so those may occupy me pretty well videogame-wise.

Stellaris... lots of Stellaris.

My game as the Unified Systems of Greater Britain is finally getting interesting, playing on a 5000 star galaxy has given me a lot of time to build up, now I am subjugating all the minor regional powers I've more or less surrounded with my aggressive expansionism.

Using a fair number of mods -
Downscaled ships
Galaxies Unlimited
More Spaceport Modules
New Ship Classes & More (escorts, carriers, battlecruisers, dreadnoughts)
No Clustered Starts

and like ten other ones that add flags/portraits/graphics.

I Am Setsuna, pretty delightful little JRPG in the vein of Chrono Trigger

Well had blood bowl 2 arrive from Amazon today so will give that a go tonight. Does anyone have any tips to start out with

Sure. Play Humans or Orcs first, as they're the most well rounded and least trick oriented. Always do your safe moves first (running, high passing, etc.), then do your risky moves.

Also, with Orcs and Humans, I usually go for score two or three times, then injure and stall the other team

Borderlands 2 - Return to an oldie, but goodie, game for me. I'm practicing my shooter skills on PS4 and this game is as good as any, as I know how it works and feels from the PC.

The Uncharted bundle has probably been my favorite buy for PS4 so far.

Probably not popular to discuss here, but I picked up MLB the Show 16 when it was on sale, and as far as sports games go, its pretty friggin awesome.

Finally settled on a Dagger mastering Kensai for my neutral/good Baldur's Gate 'trilogy' run. She rolls around chunking men and monster alike with her bitty pokey daggers, and if they don't wanna stick around she throws for more DPS than any of the archers Leaving the option open for dual classing to thief as Montaron is my favorite NPC to micromanage at the moment. I think I'll wind up trying to curtail any further characters to an "evil run" and if I need to play AGAIN after that... maybe a "Lawful Stupid" run, either with a Paladin protagonist or just a goody-two-shoes that sticks with the holy rollers and good guys. We'll see.

I guess I could pick up Pillars of Eternity but they're still pretty proud of it price-wise and I fear I'll be a little put off by it. In much the way I was with the Dragon age games, the spells and magic and just general fantasy tropes involved skewed too much with my brain which is Firmly Rooted within the D&D settings (for better or worse).

I've been playing some Ironclad Tactics and Game Dev Tycoon. Both are quite fun, and I'll try to finish the former during the weekend.

Got all the achievements for the new mission pack for Starcraft 2, time to beat the missions on brutal.

Not looking forward to the first of the new set, but I guess the theme of the campaign is spam nukes. At least, that's what it seems to be...

Been playing Overwatch. The game is having a "Summer Games" event, with special loot boxes that drop at least one item that's Olympic themed. There are new skins, victory poses, comments, sprays, and icons (not all characters have new skins and poses). However, the new items can't be purchased via in-game currency, and can only be obtained from the loot box. This is an intentional move on Blizzard's part, as the company wants to put some rarity on the items by making it so players don't obtain every single item in the event.

Been getting back into my Ork campaignin Warhammer Total War. Also finally got around to completing Fallout 4

Playing Rainbow Six siege looking forward to the new DLC coming out next week, cant decide which of the new operators to unlock.

Season 7 on Diablo just started so, with the olympics and baseball season going on, I guess I'm playing Diablo

I highly advise you to buy Pillars Of Eternity if you enjoy Baldurs Gate. Even if it costs a bit, worth every penny, I have completed said game several times and enjoyed every moment of it. The magic system is good and well some tropes are hard to avoid when making a game like PoE. Alos congratzs on playing as a Kensai, sounds like a lot of fun.

Started a new party in Icewind Dale 2 and decided to go for a mixture of Durrogar and Drow members, noting like having a band made up some of the most feared and hated races doing good and saving the world. Even if you get quite a lot of abuse from NPCs and what not, but its all worth it when you can have a Drow sorceress curbstomp hordes of high level monsters with a single spell. Or watch as a Durrogar kill a giant with a few hammer blows

Age of Wonders III is really fun. I've playing as a Tigran Theocrat atm on an Island map, which led to some very interesting moments.

Probably get Pillars someday. Kensai is really amusing and with priority on rings/cloaks of protection and frequent use of the shield amulet she has reasonable defenses.

I want to play IWD2 again but I'm kinda hoping for an enhanced edition. I know t was newer and shinier to start with but I still want a much polish on the rough edges as one can get. I like the level adjustment races but it hurts my brain to ha e casters picking up spells on a delayed schedule. Had a deep gnome monk that was virtually untouchable but Tymora help him if someone rolls a 20

Starting the Witcher 2 until the final Fallout 4 DLC drops.

I finished Mad Max a week or so back, I'm just going after history relics, collecting enemy vehicles for my collection and so on - I was considering what to play next, and I realized that I'm probably not going to go back to Fallout 4 for the forseeable future.
After Mad Max's atmosphere, storyline, and gameplay, FO4 just seems so bland and uninteresting. Granted, that may be because Mad Max is still pretty new to me, but I don't remember FO4 being anything like as evocative. I actually cared about Chumbucket, hated Stank Gum and Scrotus, whereas in FO4... well, emotional investment in the main storyline 0%. I think the difference is in what I would call the "personality" of the games.

I may go back to the 360 and finish off The Witcher 2, then maybe do a pro-Scoia'Tel run, or I may even go back to Skyrim for a while, rather than buying something new on the XBONE.
Incidentally, has anyone played Overlord? I was recommended it by a friend as the kind of thing I might like - is it worth picking up?

Got a new controller, so back to ARMA 3 and put some more practice into flying.

Neverwinter Nights 2 and expansions at the moment. Am on a bit of a dnd kick. I hope they release a NWN or BG style game for fifth edition...

Oh, and occasionally, Kingdom: New Lands.

Waiting patiently for XCOM 2 and Darkest Dungeon in late September. THen gonna shut myself in for a month and play.

Been playing a couple of the "Choice of" style games. Choice of Robots right now.

Yeah 5th would be fun. Built in mini-kits for each class and really flexible skills. Sneaky fighter or mage? Sure just work it into your back story no reason you have to be half or more a thief or rogue. Plus warlocks. And Bards got a nice overhaul I think. And the stats are a whole new level of comprehensible and even more math friendly. Lota pluses really.

Xandria the dagger master has made it to baldurs gate finally, think I'm gonna rush a bit before I lose my focus. I've got two more charnames rolled up, one for evil and another to mash all the new NPCs into one party. And a custom elf-based party focused on ztealth and elf stuff...oi those games... One might say 'too much' replayability.

More me getting owned in xcom 2. Still a great game. A friend bought me the 'alien hunters' DLC (which i have yet to access). Sadly i can't play any more today as i have work tomorrow and i've been sleep deprived. Best to get one night of decent rest at least.
