Burning Wheel’s Artha system has players create goals that are tied to their beliefs and related to their character’s relationships and back stories. When one of these goals are achieved in game the player gains a large chunck of progression.

Small chunks of progression in that game work similarly to Skyrim: when attempting an action a character moves closer to improving their ability with that skill.

It is an excellent system that my playgroup returns to every few years.

Definitely, even better if you can try during a free weekend or get it half price on a sale.

Amazing with friends, on your own or with randos.

So many organic ways to interact and communicate with other players. Seriously cool, unique and worthwhile experience.

Sea of Thieves.

There has never and will never be any pay to win. Everyone has access to all weapons at any time, no unlocking, just pure skill.

Up to 4 players on your team (ship) open servers with other players all sailing around all the time. You can get in an organic fight over treasure, or matchmake for ranked battles.

All of the progression is cosmetic based.

The devs have been adding content constantly since launch that fleshes out the game systems and makes for more interesting interaction.

I come back to this game all the time. Highly recommend.

I hear ya.

I wish we had more raids and they would finish the Skyline Valley content.

Single shot rifles are big winners on the PTS. All of the old damage bonuses from perks are built into the base weapons now. The damage perks you already have equipped will be renamed and help you do additional limb and weak point damage.

I play 76 all the time. I’ve been on and off it since beta.

I recommend joining the official discord group as well as AngryTurtle’s discord group for friendly people to play with.

The game is in a really really good place right now. Lots of storylines, lots of endgame content, and the same great community the game has always had.

They are currently in the middle of a yearlong combat/perk rebalance with the next change (affecting all rifle/SMG/shotgun perks) due out in June.

Some quick tips when levelling:

-Always join a casual team when first connecting to a server. There is no expectation that you group up with the people on your team and you will receive an INT bonus.

-When levelling up you can pick a different special point than the perk, and you can change the special point later at Perk Stations.

-Endgame crafting is dependent on learning plans and legendary affects. Learn all the cheap/free plans you can and SCRAP all legendary weapons and armor until you start getting level 50 gear.

-Join public events! They reward a lot of XP, unique plans and recipes, reputation (Eviction Notice and Moonshine Jamboree). If you see the Scorched Earth event you can avoid radiation using a hazmat suit.

-One of the best power armors in the game, Excavator is availability to craft very early, follow any guide online to learn the storyline.

Plug this puppy into the deck and have a massive virtual 1080p 120hz screen projected into your field of view.

I use it daily and couldn’t be happier with it.

Either ‘God of Gamblers’ or ‘Infernal Affairs’. Both are HK flicks.

First is an 80s comedy, second is what ‘The Departed’ is a remake of.

There was (is?) a pilot project including randomly selected taxpayers with extremely simple tax situations where they had autofiling.
