Yeah but it's hard to do if your a first time player and didn't know you had to talk to him a bunch (like I did when I first played the game.)

[Askold]

Unless you talked to him a lot anyway because it's an RPG and talking to the companions is usually useful.

EDIT: And now I am getting interested in two new games. Halcyon 6 which is a strategy game where human space empire/federation/whatever has been nearly destroyed and the player controls a small group of survivors on an ancient space station that they discovered (eerily similar to Citadel of Mass effect. Not in appearance but in function) trying to rebuild and reconquer the human regions.

And Aven colony which is city building game on an alien planet. The micromanagement level seems to be something that I like. Plenty of details available but the player does not have to focus on the truly minor stuff.

...Except that I am going to have to wait for Christmas before I'll have a computer that will run the latter and I'm skeptical about the former working either.

Beat (for now, til Act V comes out) Grim Dawn, yesterday.  Holy god damned hell, they're gonna need something unbelievable to cap the whole thing off, because that Ch'thonian thing was hardcore.  Maybe I'll be able to complete my genocide against the Aethereals when Act V rolls around...

Doom is pure joy.  That is all.

Played this pretty good freeware RPG Maker horror game called End Roll. I fell in love with it.

Nice. If there's one thing we need, it's more space games that understand that spacecraft are not planes.

On another note, I've finally gotten my hands on Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom. It's the last of the Impressions city builders and the only one I haven't played yet. So far, it seems pretty promising. The feng shui mechanic is a tad obnoxious, but overall, it seems to have all the quality of life improvements of Zeus with the complexity and challenge of Pharaoh.

I got a Xbox One (S). Rare Replay makes me a bit sad. Rare haven't made a non-kinect game since 2008. Jesus.

Sunset Overdrive is awesome, really enjoying it.

It's for the best. The folks who made Rare what it was have long since moved on.

Also, getting into Crusader Kings 2 again. The latest DLC I had previously was Rajas of India, so there's quite a bit of new stuff to play with. Conclave and Reaper's Due are both quite good. The new music, eh, it's hit and miss. The viking rock is a lot of fun, the techno remixes of the original soundtrack, not so much.

Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer is up.

[SCarpelan]

No PC version. Fuck. No surprise since the first one didn't have either but still a disappointment.
