I believe I’ve been to Ulfric’s throne room few times, but can’t remember why, probably some sidequests take you there as well? I do think I’ve done the war-quest but for the life of me I can’t recall which side I was on, or if it was good/bad/meh.

Usually in this kind of games I tend to do few runs to see each side of mutually exclusive paths, but… well, it’s been a while, like a decade according to steam.

could be, honestly not even sure - it’s been a while since last visit to Skyrim, and even then it likely was just random exploration and sidequests! :P

heh, it happens.

Frankly, I didn’t even regognize Ulfric either once I got to meet him later in the game. Sidequests for days until progressing anything main plot related, heh.

Admittedly I haven’t played Skyrim in ages, but surely Ralof doesn’t die during the intro? One of the prisoners does die when they try to escape but not Ralof.

according to hastily googled 'scrolls wiki: https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Ralof

… However, Alduin attacks Helgen, and Ralof is able to escape. After reaching shelter, Ralof frees the Dragonborn from their bindings and asks for help against the Imperial soldiers. Later, the Dragonborn has the opportunity to rejoin Ralof and escape from Helgen. …

he’s part of few quest lines later on as well.

edit: but truth be told, even with name, I wouldn’t have regognized him after helgen anyway.

For novelty I do install msedit, because nostalgia is rose tinted. But for realsies it’s vim, not because I’m good at using it, but I’m familiar enough.

Just a hunch, but it’s not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

It’s been a minute since I last tried it, but: Forge: The Magic: The Gathering Rules Engine https://card-forge.github.io/forge/ & https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge

It’s essentially MTG: Shandalar - but free & opensource. So basically you start with some starter deck, roam the lands to defeat color-coded wizards and dungeons for ante-cards and money (which you use to just buy cards from vendors), build deck, and ultimately defeat the elemental gods etc. Shandalar. :)

The game has actual MTG cards (can be downloaded via the game’s menus).

I kinda wish the game would detect modding, or the easymode at minimum, and hold the achievements. I don’t particularly care one way or the other, but some soulslike-folks probably will get their panties in a twist for dilluting the global achievement-stats… maybe? But oh well.

The exploration aspect is pretty cool, there’s hidden tomb-dungeons etc everywhere. Other games where I’ve felt exploration was fun were Skyrim, Cyberpunk and (similarly to you) Subnautica.

I dunno, 80’s glamrock church could be dope, but it wouldn’t be dark souls anymore

Been chipping away with Elden Ring, but I do use seamless coop for the off chance my friends want to join, and some easymode mod because I am so unbelievably bad at these games.

Having fun, but it’s funny when every time I think I could do with less easymode, some enemy absolutely curbstomps me. Maybe one day I can manage without:P

I do like how there’s very little waypoint-guidance, but some todo-list for things I have agreed to would be nice. But that’s the style, I guess.

you think you’re getting off the call if it isn’t?

so human of it!

find / -type f -name windows

as root? see where it nests?

it’ll probably be back running once you reboot. better find out where on your storage it is, why is it starting and where did it come from.

SDV felt quite hectic when I tried to do everything the game told me about, but once I let go and didn’t worry about the upcoming evaluation, everything became nicer.

But if you can’t shake the need to do everything ASAP, can’t help you there. But the game has very few (if any?) missable things, no need to do everything NOW NOW NOW, there’s always next year.

Though, yea, there’s quite a bit of work to do for eg. 100% community center or both dungeons. I suppose there’s mods to alleviate the “grind/difficulty”, but haven’t checked.

Probably the LJN’s entire NES-catalogue? IIRC they were pretty much all some media-property-license-schlock.

I’ve played very few movie-to-game adaptations, but one that I did play was Total Recall for NES. It’s fairly ass, imo.

The game does follow the movie fairly well, although I can’t say I recall Arnie pummeling dozens of hobos in a cement factory in the movie x)

The controls were fairly stiff and difficulty quite high up there, it was on NES after all.

I think that one option might be to have two lists of achievements.

And then we’d just replace one problem with another, some people care way too much about achievements and they’d be working even more to get ALL of them / both sets.

Friend of mine recommended it to me, and it was already on my radar as it did look very interesting. Bought it, played about an hour and proceeded to ask for a refund. It didn’t do it for me at all.

The funny thing is that on paper it should have been a slam dunk for me, but literally nothing in-game felt like I liked doing it. Weird.

Welp, not every game is for me, and in this case I know I’m a rare outlier. :P

Entirely up to the game & how interesting the post-game stuff is.

I have 100%'s eg. Batman: Arkham Asylum (on normal, not gonna try-hard it). The amount of collectibles was within the toleranse and it was fairly fun to hunt the items with the hints provided.

Now, few years forward with Arkham City and Arkham Knight? Hard nope. Too many collectibles/activities/timewasters, stupendously huge areas, too obscure hints, nah, nopety-nope-nope. And the good ending in AK was tied to finishing “optional activities” which I just could not be bothered with, watched the ending on youtube and uninstalled.

Diablo-likes I can grind for hundreds, if not thousands of hours, as the “click go brrrr, get item of +1 betterness” after campaign is fun for surprisingly long periods for me. But at the moment I have the problem that I have pretty much played all of the available ones (edit: ones that I’m willing to buy, that is).
