Original thread.

Title kinda says all.

I’ll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What are you most anticipating for 2024 in terms of games?

    Continuing with the single player story content of ESO in chronological order. Finished Summerset and about half way into Murkmire, which is a smaller Argonian themed zone. The writing quality was solid around this time in the game, apparently it took a dip later on. I’ve made Mirri (one of the companions) into a super-fast ninja by wearing a set on my character that decreases companion skill cooldowns by half and also giving her all quickened type gear to reduce it even further. Missing 4 purple pieces from having the max reduce % possible. I can just sit back and throw psjic heals at Mirri as she deals with the overland enemies, which is a fun gaming loop. Also freezing time (psjic skill) on enemies for a few seconds is fun.

    After finishing Murkmire I’m planning to go back to BG3, picking up at the beginning of Act 3. I saw the last big patch added access to companion inventories without asking them to join you so that will be really useful for inventory management. I’ve been away from the game for long enough that it will feel like coming back to a new expansion.

    A few other games I want to play eventually, but I’m not in a hurry: Midnight Suns (stopped around 25% into the story last year, it’s all right for a Marvel game, actually has some RPG-like vibes), Stray Gods, System Shock remake, MK 10/11/1 story modes, those Vampire the Masquerade visual novels, and eventually a second BG3 playthrough. Most likely a good tiefling bard for next time with Karlach, Wyll, Gale, current char is a mostly good drow arcane trickster with Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Minthara, and a bit of Astarion mixed in from time to time.
