I dug out my old Icewind Dale 1&2 discs and installed both. Did a bit of modding, tweaks and bugfixes mostly. Then I did some job with paint.exe to import Baldur's Gate 2 portraits to the custom portrait gallery. Fast forward an hour or so and I had my BG2 party exploring the dales I am pretty sure that Sarevok has his own voice too.

That reminds me I still have to finish Rise Of The Tomb Raider... I liked the game but it didn't grip me like the previous and I found more engrossing things to play. Hm, now that I have set up a 5.1 home theater in my living room I'm conflicted about which games to buy for PC. When I tested the speakers, the sound in HZD just blew me away! How the speakers would track people passing by perfectly. The rumble of killing machines. Really impressive. It was a whole new level of awesome. I bet Tomb Raider would be fun too in surround... In any case, gotta finish FO3 in September, play Divinity OS2 in October and theeeeen MAYBE FO76 or NMS in co-op.

Did two puzzles and they're not too difficult. Maybe the head cracker comes later. Revisited Croft Manor in a flashback. Jonah and Lara have more to say other than the objectives they're facing so some of their backgrounds etc are getting filled in. I also found I forgot to adjust the graphic settings so everything thus far was under default settings. Imagine that.

Ok, it's like I hoped. Lara started out with more equipment and more abilities rather than she had in the previous games. She's got a knife, the weapons and she's able to do the rope arrow right off though I've to say I'm annoyed she has no lockpicks. She can rappel and run along the walls. Very happy to hear that!

Played a bit more Pillars of Eternity and got to Defiance Bay. I have five pets now (tiny dragon, tiny spider, two dogs and a cat), plus the dwarven ranger has her wolf, so we are starting to look like a wandering zoo

So finally got more progress done in FC 5.
First mission I tried to run I did with mixed results but then I forgot/ didn't realize that even if a mission requires you to have certain types of skins, it'll stilllll sell the skins if you let it, and I did, so I lost all the progress and since its one of THOSE without actual objective markers I moved on.
Second quest though was oodles of fun. Coincedentally I got it right from the area I made my mistake and since it sounded worth doing I decided to do it. It inolved basically luring the creator of the bliss out of hiding by liberating an outpost and burning a bunch of his plants. The outpost itself was one of the most nerve wracking close calls I've had in a long time. Two alarms, one was easy to shoot but the second was hidden. So I looked for a path and THOUGHT I could get on the top of the roof and snipe it from above. I got there, couldn't climb on the roof, went in the house killing as I went, and couldn't find anything. Jumped on a ledge outside the house, still couldn't find it. So I am basically in the middle of this base with no way of getting the final alarm surrounded by badguys. Finally just went around the corner, arrowed it...then it was hunting time. First guy was singing along to 'oh the bliss'. I cut him off as soon as he sang'oh the bliss will set me free'...no my arrow did that thank you very much. Then proceded down a back alley putting down two more in short order, final guy ran around looking for me and just as he was about to spot me I put an arrow through him. The base was liberated.
Then it seems I had to set theplants on fire but I did not notice that they were under a water suppressent system so had to shut that off...after wasting a lot of arrows.
Then the bliss creator came out of hiding but before I knew it he fled off and I had to chase him. Except he got away, but this can demonstrate one thing I do like about this game because even when a target gets away it is not always a 'mission fail' so I tracked him to his compound where...he was in the ground, so I started looking for him and sent Jen Frye to kill him, surprisingly she did so climbing down his entrance into the lair.
And now I am soooo close to getting Faith and putting this game to bed.

I discovered Disintegrate power on my wizard in Diablo 3. As if she wasn't OP before, that really makes her OP. It melts bosses (ok, still playing on Normal mode, but still, melts them).

As someone once said ,"that's not a bad ending. That's a spicy ending" But actually, I've wanted to be with Ray this whole time but the game decided I had more hearts with V :/. So I really have no idea what ending I'll get. I had to be careful on Jumin's route. And got a bad ending with 7 that I reloaded for because I was TOO FLIRTY.

Collectibles seem more simple this time. Probably too early to tell. At least there're no GPS caches, those things drove me crazy in RotTR. Jonah seems to have found a magnet. At least, that's my impression. Lara watched it happened and she's encouraging him. So if he decides he likes the magnet, I guess he wouldn't be Lara's sidekick in her future forays. I'm guessing btw. That pendant she's wearing has gotten bigger and it looks like a seahorse creature.

I cornered Ulfric Stormcloak in his palace, was asked to be the one to put him to the blade and I killed him in the most apropos way I could imagine; a full Fus Ro Dah at point-blank range.

I ended my play trough of Trails Of Cold Steel II. That was a hell of a ride with a few ugly twists I did not see coming. I can't wait until the English translation of Trails Of Cold Steel 3 (and hopefully 4) will be released for the PC. It will take some time I am afraid, but I will buy the games the moment they will be for sale.
For now - I am inclined to follow up with the (fan translated) Legend of Heroes - Trails of Zero, followed by Trails of Azure. However, I take a break for a while from the Legends Of Heroes series, and dive into another Falcom game, named Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (also for the PC). In stead of the turn based combat, this game has real time combat (although there are things like combat links and more). For what I understand the game has a far less deep story compared to the Legend Of Heroes series, but it's nevertheless fun. The game has no English voice actors (so you can choose silent or Japanese), but has a good English subtitle translation. It seems to be a mixture of Legend Of Heroes and Ys with a little flavor of Persona. Sounds good to me, so let's see.
I will jump in, and report what happens in the game here soon.

"Yup, gonna throw him over the railing now!" Actual in-game dialogue while viewing this: "This I like." "Yeah I know."

Another one bites the dust. And another one down another one down another one bites the dust. (I think that is how the song goes anyways).
So Faith is down. Which makes all of the Seed Siblings down, only Joseph 'the Father' is left. Ironically enough Faith was the easiest yet also the most boring of the big boss fights and fights d fights rough their bases. Though admittedly I supposse that could be because I was taking it slow. Also another 'plot twist' that was not as shocking, to me, as the first one. Only real wtf momentof the entire sequence was when, in the Bliss, Faith started levitating and firing energy blasts after me while I machine gunned her with an M-249. Then after that though entered her base where I had to blow her bliss pumps. I did so but with each pump bad guys came through a door and then over top,after each one, so I just set a proxmimity mine and waited in ambush for the rest of them...it worked. After I blew the pumps things began picking up as the base blew up around me. Put two arrows in two guys in short order as they came around the corner and had trouble with another flamee. Joseph is not happy what I have done to his 'family' either.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider I was bemused at first to hear the NPCs speak English. It's so disconcerting, given the setting. I then realised I should have toggled languages so the NPCs will speak in their native language. It's more immersive. I'm glad the devs provided the language options. I have to say I felt like a hunter. Slapping mud on Lara, then sneaking around, taking down the mobs one by one. I'm going all out stealth both on land and in water, avoiding a firefight if possible. I'm taking my time with the main story but sometimes I have to push it because MISSING GEAR means I cannot do some of the tombs. I tried to find a LP off a village vendor but he doesn't have it. sheesssh. Admittedly, I was taken aback at the immediate kill in the beginning. But then I remember that Lara is dealing with Trinity; they don't hesitate to kill and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people, the innocents. So ok, let's go. ... ok, Lara just got more Predator-like. Stringing corpses up in trees now? I like! And ugh...piranhas!

I started playing 'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter'. SO far, so mysterious. I did the first three areas (traps, railroad murder and spaceman) and it is very creepy and interesting so far. I love how beautiful the environment looks. It is an absolute fun to simply walk through those woods.
And I played VTMB with my Malkavian Hanna a bit more. She is in Chinatown now and did Mitnicks last sidequest and some quests for Mr. Ox. Then she saved Kiki and talked to Zhao, before he got shot and now she is a labrat for the Mandarin.

I did some more turning up and basically destroying other people's history, horrifically kill a lot of people, and generally being completely focused on her own goals rather than other people's suffering. Lara Croft is a bit of a sociopath. Damn I am really liking this game though.

This time in Mystic Messener: I'm bawling right now because... I don't even know how to explain like.. So I was tricked into being kidnapped to a mansion that belonged to a cult and... And the actual person who tricked me... he ended up making a connection with me and trying to cherish me even though we was...on so many drugs and had gone through so many years of torture and brain washing and... And I could see it. I could see he wanted out but just didn't have the strength and the clarity of mind to make it out and... and I got saved. I got saved and he was left behind. And... I wanted to save him so bad. Even after I left the mansion I always took his calls and answered his text messages. and I would tell him I still liked and missed him even though everything he was apart of was wrong and I told him the Cult was wrong. I kept having this hope that even though the game had put me on V's path that I could have a happy ending where he still got saved even though he wasn't romanced. And there was so much foreshadowing even days ago (literal days ago, as this game goes in real time.) that if we took the Cult down he was... he was going to take some sort of suicide pilll and... and I just didn't want that to be the case! surely, surely, I could save him. But... my group... We've gone to Plan B. the Cult is going to be infiltrated. Ray, poor sweet moderately insane Ray.... he's going to die. I failed. This game is going to tell me I got the Good Ending and I'm bawling. This is an awful awful ending. And the Party is tomorrow and all these characters are going to tell me what a success everything was. And for my character and me, we're just going to remember that Ray couldn't be there. We left him behind, in the darkness and despair. And he's dead. I haven't cried this much since I sacrificed Hawke in the Fade. There is no emoji to describe my sorrow. MarilynRobert

MarilynRobert Poor Ray (I watched some YouTubes and read some web pages to understand what was going on) So many people crying after Ray dies. As far as Hawke dying. I never kill Alistair so if the other person is Hawke, rather than Stroud, I make a Hawke that looks nothing like my "real" Hawkes and pretend I don't even know him or her...that's the only way I can let Hawke be killed.
