What did you do today in any other game out there

Borderlands 3

So had two funny quick death stories to mention. First off the character I am playing, as Zane, jumped down from a ledge...I thought there would be solid ground underneath me, but then there was nothing and as my character hurtled to his death he let out a hearty 'Here I come!'. And then later on stood in the vehicle spawn point which I didn't realize what ragdoll the vehcile that the wife spawned right into another chasm.

Had a bit of a fun time other then that though. Ran around a quest area as we were hunting a lead to the Vault Key on Eden 6 on a crashed starship which in the distance looked vaguely like the ship from ME 2 with Jacob's father.

Trouble is we went off to do a mission on the way which I had flashbacks to the last time we got stuck on a side quest and it really dealayed us with the wtiches. It was nice setup for a good little side quest, but it did take awhile. Plus one of those puzzles which we solved but didn't take right so we spent a whole lot of time still trying to solve it. In the end though these outpost scientists were trying to 'uplift' the non Sentient animal life on the planet to try and do...actually I missed the why. Just to communicate I think. But even more ME vibes. So when they failed to uplift the Jabbers successfully and they 'betrayed' them...so they went to the Saurians to uplift them so they could get revenge on the Jabbers. Fun part here we had to pass a bunch of trials to prove ourselves and get a audience with the King. Including falling into a lava pit killing one of us (me) which put me out like 2 grand. So that was fun, amusing though. Eventually though we were able to go up and the Saurians were plugged into a collective consiousness which was...interesting. Anyways at the end though we both had to go off and fight the two of them who were fighting each other because a 'fail bot' was trying to prove his worth.

After all this we went to the Family Jewel and stumbled across a spat between quarelling AIs, ex lovers. One that got shoved into a bear of some sort and the other in charge of a warship. Well the Family Jewel and wanted to be put in charge of a warship. Not much to report here but then we got to the end and got into a mech battle, the wifey in the bear, and then the navigator in his own mech. We defeated her...or so we thought because then when we got back to the ship, Sanctuary, she hijacked it and then hijacked our bots and locked us down! Actually a very short battle but it was tense for a minute and well done because she piloted us to an asteroid field, rock hit the windhield, but all we had to do was yank her.

On the equipment front now I have an all legendary loadout. Picked up a legendary AR, a legendary Sniper rifle, then another regular AR that was a Vladaff but it was the closest I am to an LMG so far in this game. But then found another legendary and even though it had a lesser gear score, I flipped it out, because it is just a laser beam of corrosive damage. Actually pretty good, but the weird thing is it looks like it could replace my Legendary shotgun as a close up weapon...but that can still pop shields...and it still has some sort of mod that causes it to not actually drain ammo.

I finished Dawnguard (Vampire path) a couple days ago, but I'm still playing Skyrim despite finishing all three main quests (main story + DLCs), I just don't want it to end.

I cured my vampirism via lycantropy as I prefer the latter, fortunately Serana still talks to me normally unlike those stuck up idiots at the vampire keep.

Here's hoping TES 6 will be about the Dwemer invasion of Tamriel that Almalexia thought might happen (taking place in the Aldmeri Dominion/Summerset, always thought Skyrim was hinting at that with the whole Thalmor thing), when the game comes out fifty years from now.

Yeah I usually side with the vampires too.  Do you have access to any mods that improve the vampire gameplay?  I use the Better Vampires and Better Vampire Lords mod as well as a mod that makes the Vampire Lord more intimidation.  You can find all three on Nexus.  I've only done the Skyrim MQ and Dragonborn MQ once.  I find it annoying that we can't fully explore Solsteim without starting the Dragonborn dlc.  It was the same with the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind.  But we did not have to do the MQ to enjoy it.  Oblivion did it the best I can just go to the Shivering Isles anytime I want without being the Hero of Kvatch first.

At least we got to interact with Uncle Sheo in Skyrim.  Not the same as full on questline but it was still cool to see that old crazy bastard again.

SWTOR

Ah Suresh...
That stupid choice. Why does the light side is "I'm not like you", when she so totally deserve to be killed.
I punched her too. She deserved that too.
Even Theron enjoyed the whole thing.

Acina remains the coolest Sith Empress.

I think KOTET is more interesting than KOTFE storywise.

Stardew Valley

I'm already in the Fall. Summer went so fast.
I got a barn now, well almost, still one day of building left. Then I got to buy a resident for it.
I also finished cleaning my farm of crap since I upgraded both the mining pick and axe to iron level.
Also, now at level 65 in the mine.

I should probably upgrade my house and repair the bus. 

Sims 4

It's definitely lacking than its predecessors. The only interesting thing to happen is a neighbour kicking over the garbage bin in a hissy fit because he turned green after witnessing the Sim whom I named Arissa, kissing another guy.

Arissa is afraid of thunderstorms and hardly anything happens in her home besides the usual breakdown of items or water on the floor etc. Not a whiff of a ghost or funny stuff. The only creepy is three gnomes porting about the house.

The things that should have been in the base game are behind expensive pay walls. I'm not buying. That $50 of an expansion can be spent on a few yummy meals.

AC Valhalla

So yeah dazk my other post and that is obviously this one.

First i had to talk to Randvi again because of the kissing (French of course not that kissing you see in most movies) the day before i completely forgot to get my assignment who can blame me.
So i did talk to her again and uh i slept with her i couldn't help myself and it was so steamy hot that when we finished and i talked to her after for my assignment there was still steam coming from her bedroom.

So let's move on with my assignment which led me to Oxenefordscire and i had to find my brother Sigurd and his companion Basim.
And when i found them we had to find a mysterious woman and her stone so we did.
I don't know what happened to my brother but he was so different and so focused on that woman Fulke and especially that stone.
So when we finally rescued her the only thing in his mind was finding that stone.
And all that resulted me punching Basim and i also punched my brother for being such an ass the whole time.

I wanted to punch Basim way before that so i was glad that that opportunity came eventually my only wish was that my punch would've bin as hard as that punch that i gave my brother because it sounded more like a slap.

After that i also did a quest with Fulke and we were victorious and when that was done i had to talk to Geadric.
So i went to that place my brother and Basim were already there and the only thing those two did was looking at the floor and they did that for hours and hours.

That talk resulted in me deactivating some things and by doing that weaken their defenses.
And when i got there i did what was asked of me so i deactivated everything and killed all the soldiers over there.

So i reported back and my brother and Basim were still looking at the floor same spot same place you guys think they're cuckoo anyone ?

Then the assault had to start and to my surprise and disappointment the place was packed with soldiers hundreds of them.
I mean i was just there 15 minutes ago and there was no one there when i left this is so unrealistic and such bad writing.
I should've stayed there and let my Raven do the reporting back it would've bin at least fair.
Or those hundreds of soldiers should've bin there when i deactivated those things and that would mean that it was impossible for me to do that quest in the first place.

So the actual assault started i did menage to lower the bridge which was pretty easy and when the bridge was down the soldiers went inside.

Then i thought why bother going inside i was so disappointed with those last two quests and the day before was also quite bad and there are other things in this game that bug the hell out of me so i decided that as of now i'm done with AC Valhalla.
I also have the feeling lately that the game gets more difficult every time i power up it's not that relaxed anymore.

Pathfinder:Kingmaker

Got stopped on the Blakemoor/Siroket fight last night. It's like Delgado all over again, except that this time most of the good stuff won't work. Siroket spawns in at full attack melee range with Blakemoor, you can't Stoneskin him because she's swinging an adamantine weapon and it wouldn't matter anyway since she hits for over 60 damage, Siroket hits on anything but a 1 until her fourth attack and hard enough to kill Blakemoor in maybe two hits, and most defensive spells can't work since Siroket spawns in with True Seeing on, unless you can hit Blakemoor with Mind Blank or hit Siroket with a successful dispel first. Eww. Thanks, RPGCodex.

I suddenly realized that I don't care about difficulty on this run and dropped it. So, on my next attempt Valerie gets initiative and takes Siroket out of the fight with a Cornugon Smash before Siroket even gets one attack off. From the die rolls it looks like that would have worked on Hard difficulty too, because of course it would have.

Surprisingly, turns out I'd never actually got that achievement before.

Finished the Starfield "Shattered Space" DLC, was OK but I finished the main story and left some stuff incomplete.

Was unsure what to do gaming wise so went the easy option and one I can stop if I have not finished to play Veilguard and that was of course to start another NG+ of MEA.

Poor Scott missed out again so Sara 14 was created. Last PT I intended playing as a Soldier as I had only played Sentinel for so long because it is OP'd and rocks. This time will attempt to play a full Solider PT, maybe with some Bot's included.

Got down to habitat 7, killed some Kett, then RL issues exploded and had to stop. Am trying to play as much as I can with my headphones as I have noticed the music more as well as the ambient dialogue is much easier to hear.

Sara 14

Postimages is having a drama will post shots a bit later.

Love the start of the game

I mentioned it before, but I finished a new game plus just for the achievements. You can really blast through it, depending on how many of the in-game achievements you have.

One thing, though, is that you have to get all in-game achievements except the one that have EX in front of them. There's a localization error where they forgot to add EX in front of the one to get the 5.0x experience boost, so no need to get that one! (4.0 was hard enough for me.)

Thronebreaker The Witcher Tales

I think this is probably my third PT of the game. The last two PTs was a few years back.

It's a breath of fresh air when I hear the dialogues. Ahhh, proper language set in the era of the game world. No modern phrases. Down to earth and to the point of the story.

I'm not going to bother much with the achievements. There's likely some that deals with bad stuff like; oh you killed a certain character or caused a character to die or some event to end badly. I always go for the good consequences and endings though I remember some events can be ambiguous when neither side is wrong or right. In such cases, it's always a headache.

I'm also likely to lose card battles though they don't affect the standing army but would affect faction strength / influence. I think.
