Playing "Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning" and rocking the Longsword/Chakrams combo as a Might/Sorcery destiny. Love the whole: **out of mana** "Oh darn." **gets hit, now has mana** "Alright." **Mark of Flame on EVERYONE** -LEVEL UP- This is an underrated game; at least THQ has the IP, so fates crossed for a sequel. I love KoA, great game. I'm playing sorcery/rogue combo with chakrams and bow.

Anakin: Even with his 4 powers he comes off as being a lesser version of Luke...despite me doing REALLY well with him...wait he gets four powers and no one else does. saandrig explain. Because he is the karking Chosen one?
Its a balance thing, since one of his powers needs a long charge and he is a sitting duck taking damage while focusing it. Easily avoided in HvV. You should see the damn bots in Co Op too. Once, I swear, I was on a command node, charging this power in the middle of 10+ droids. Then when I released it, more than HALF of them combat rolled at the exact moment (this roll avoids Force powers effects) and took no damage while blasting Anakin in the face.
Even with the extra power, Anakin is below Fett and Vader. Might even throw Grievous and Kylo ahead of him.

huh. Just seems weird he is the only one. Imo Rey could use an extra power too in that case.

Rey is OP AF. She is probably the fastest of all saber Heroes, has a fast swing, pretty decent stamina pool (maybe Obi Wan is the only one noticeably better), good damage and a big saber hitbox. She doesn't even need abilities with all that As players say - Rey with all her abilities on CD is like Luke with all his abilities available. Her saber Rush is deadly in corridors and also can be used for a quick escape, especially with a damage reduction Star Card. Her Insight makes her have just about infinite stamina and big damage for a pretty long time. And her Mind Trick can be a death sentence even if you are an experienced player - it took me a while to figure it replaces the movement buttons, so if you want to move forward, you need to press backward

Yeah, I was like you when I started using her Thought she is pretty weak. It's the same with a bunch of other Heroes (except Leia, she sucks big time). But then you realize the strengths and the proper playstyle and start wrecking things. Saber heroes take a while to master because they differ from one another in many areas - speed, how fast they swing the saber, stamina pool, blaster deflection ability (basically Obi Wan and Vader are the ones to do it with, Anakin is slightly worse, rest are noticeably below and Grievous is useless in that area), saber hitbox, damage done, etc. And that is before you start messing with their Abilities and Star Cards.
I used to be fodder with Dooku and couldn't kill shit in the first 10 levels. I used to play as the speedster Maul before and the same style was terrible for the Count. But then I figured out his rhythm, stopped trying to use the pathetic Lightning and went for the Duelist ability plus healing cards. Dooku suddenly became a monster that can clear battlefields, all while sporting a pajama.
Yoda might also seem underpowered, but he can block stuff forever and is a pain to play against when he is on a "hit and run" tactic. Especially on Bespin - he is below the chest high walls around the place and for him half cover is full cover

Qunari is the only PT of DAI I couldn't complete, it just felt weird and I couldn't get immersed with the PC. I've finished one with a Qunari, though I admit he didn't make much sense to me either, especially in the way I role-played him (he was an Andrastian) To be honest it never even occurred to me. I don't really recognize the Qunari as one of the playable races. They're a gimmick to me. Xenophobia has always been a really distinctive part of the DA setting and I'm pretty resentful of the writers for trying to retcon that away at the expense of their worldbuilding, and for everything that happens to the Inquisitor in that game to randomly happen to a Tal-Vashoth just blows my suspension of disbelief to pieces. Playing the game as an elf feels implausible enough. Besides you don't get to roleplay an actual Qunari, which would have been the main attraction. Just a big dude or lady with horns and no place in society. Yay. An elf, a dwarf and two humans suits me fine. Qunari don't get representation on the continent they're hoping to conquer where they have no official presence. That'll have to wait until a game where it makes more sense. My original plan was to go elf, human and then hardass dwarven enforcer Inquisitor, but messing around in the Josephine thread made me want to romance her properly as a fellow human noble who would complement and not drag her down socially in their 'happily ever after'. A truly Andrestian Trevelyan templar warrior would seem most fitting. Besides, if the fourth game really does feature a lot of spycraft then a dwarven criminal might do better there. hm, I see
to be honest, I've so far only played Inquisition as an elf and Qunari...I've also done a few partial human ones though I might end up making a human female for my Female!Heroes world state, and I might give a try to a Dwarf Inky as well I've only ever finished one dwarf playthrough in Origins, and he wasn't even one of my favorites
atm. I have a female (human) mage as Warden, that world's Hawke(female) will be a rogue, so the Inky will also be a mage...in DA4 I think I'll grab another rogue...or another mage depending on the storyline and whether or not we'll have some sort of origin stories for them again (or like in Inquisition where it changes slightly on the race or class you select)

Continuing my replay of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The Tenebrous Depths are, unfortunately, underwhelming, and playing through this dungeon within the main campaign, I fubared its main quest because I didn't know you needed to have specific items in your inventory to make chapter bosses drop quest-important information. I usually go in and play a few levels, then go back and store all unused quest items in my chest at home, always prepared to go back and fetch them if I need them. But I'm not told I need them when I need them. The relevant fight just happens regardless, only the quest item doesn't drop and is lost forever.
I had to find this out through a forum post. Really bad design. The rest of the game is as good as ever, though, and in some aspects there are significant improvements. There's also some minor new content apart from the dungeon.

Just started DA: Origins, with the intention of playing through the series again and hopefully being done at some point in 2022 in preparation for the fourth game. Went Dalish basically because I'm planning on playing a human in Inquisition and a dwarf in 4, and my gamer OCD demands elf representation in there somewhere. I really do like the origin though. In all the others, Duncan rescuing/conscripting you is mostly a good thing, pulling you out of a sticky situation and/or a dangerous or unworthy environment. But as a Dalish Elf you're completely surrounded by friends and family who are getting by and love and want nothing but the best for you, and you're forced to say goodbye and leave them for the greater good, and because someone you may not trust says that there might be something wrong with you. The farewell sequence reads like a community coming together to see a favored child go off to war, and it's an absolute gutpunch on top of the funeral of your best friend/crush whose hotheaded tendencies you failed to rein in. I absolutely get why the canon Ultimate Sacrifice playthrough is a Dalish. The daily existence of a Grey Warden doesn't have anything that obviously recommends itself to one of the People. Of all the origins they're the most likely to feel like they've lost all hope for a "proper" life and their connection to the world they grew up in, and don't really have much to loose by accepting death as their duty. Ostagar is also an especially surreal experience, not knowing how any of all these shemlen warriors gathered in one place are going to treat a lone hunter with Duncan's badge of approval as her only protection, and no idea how far that extends. Cailan is a ridiculous spectacle, of course, but still encouragingly respectful and welcoming. Alistair is annoyingly flippant and can be pretty insensitive, but also obviously harmless. But everyone else is offensively dismissive, and the flat ears working at the camp and running messages look at you either like an exotic animal or a myth come to life. It's disconcerting. This is why I like DAO. They really made an effort to make the world react plausibly to the character that came out of your choice of origin, at least in some parts of the game and significantly more often than in DAI. In no other DA game my characters feel so much at home in their setting as a general rule (though not all origins are equal), rather than like in DA2, only if you don't play a mage, or like in DAI, only if you play a human Andrastian.
My favorite character types in this setting tend to be mageborn, but I fondly recall my lost-in-the-world Dalish rogue Arvellen, my vengeful-fury City Elf Safira Tabris, and my stoic-but-determined Dwarf Noble warrior Marada Aeducan.

These days it feels like a bit of a waste to play a fantasy story without taking advantage of the opportunity to play other exotic but still sympathetic and relatable humanoids, as long as it's also plausible within the story. My dwarf playthrough of Origins was the last one I finished, and she was far and away my favorite. I'm actually loath to replace her as my canon warden, and still undecided about whether my current playthrough will even justify it.

Yeah DAO definitely did that well. I definitrely think the story and the origins and everything was very welltold in tha tgame and it was definitely the strongest thing about DAO for me.

I think for me its a bit the same as you, playing humans if I have to or more exotic races if they're available my canon protagonist from Origins is a human, but I've also made several elves
I've replaced my canon several times, but I always end up making the same character regardless

Lara is good with kids... ...and centuries old puzzles left behind by madmen. Just... ...don't... ...push her. Holy shit, Lara! What did you do now? It's ok. Rest a while. You deserve it after surviving that mess. Then return to the village... ...don't get eaten... ...and attend a coronation. A busy day for Ms. Croft to be sure!

I've replaced my canon several times, but I always end up making the same character regardless I tend to be the opposite in that I like to play as a human because then the reactions of the other species feel more immersed in the actual game environment and the reactions of the non-human NPC's feel more real and alien if that makes sense. Elves I don't mind playing but I am not sure why but Dwarves and Qunari I can't get in their headspace enough.

Well that's weird because I had his reputation high and had just found his sword and he was being really cranky about helping the villagers at Redcliffe???? Sigrun is one of my favourites and even playing as a Rogue I take her around with me and try to get her as soon as possible. Who do you think are the best companions to have in the group with her, I haven't played Awakenings for ages. Sten is always a bit cranky, when you do something, that hasn't anything to do with the Blight. I'm just playing DAA for the first time, but Sigrun and Nathaniel have a great chemistry. I really like Awakenings NPC's in particular, the story is a bit meh but the environments are just different enough from DAO to be good as well.

Yeah it felt good to spend som emore time with Oghren given he does join my team quiet late most of the tim eas I tend t odo Orzammar last due to it's difficulty. So it's good we effectively get him pretty much from the start in Awakening gotta love this scene too so funny.

Pillars of Death.
First death was me being stupid and running off path to tick of a map enterence. Ran straight into a group of carnivorous children who ate my mook most gruesomely. Second was lack of skill in stealth pulling. Or too much skill as I lured in three hungry skeletons who whacked her to death with their ribby ribs. Third was pretty glorious, since I forgot to check for traps and got nuked. Nice. Took a break to walk the dog then got ripped apart when trying to stealth past some ghouls and skelling tons. Not nice. But good it happened after the walkies. Some lurkers got me on the next run. Big boys and I saw them coming. And there was nothing I could do. Did find out on the next run I can just move backwards and go outta sight outta mind. Final attempt and I got slimed to death by ooze. So there is a pretty tight spot where you need to squeeze between some oozes. And there are is lot of them. So of course when my mook is juuuust squeezing into the clear she gets the bright idea to slap some ooze. Who did not appreciate being slapped. So they killed her. And it was sad. Since it was the furthest point I'd gotten so far and the run had been so smooth.
So took a break and fiddled with some other toons, who also died. Good times.
Did one more run with that build and got to around the point where I meet them oozes. Then quit and moved my save file somewhere safe. At the same time I do want to get the achivo fair and square. But was planning to use the save to then practice stuff if I died. Then figured I'd better just get another toon who was not under a trial of iron and have them as a practice dummy.
Being the cheeky sort I made him a dude and called him Borealis, since the trial mook is a lady called Aurora. Eh?! Eh?! Since they are Moon Godlike and the northern lights are in the sky?! Granted naming them moon synonyms might have been more clever. Except I don't know any clever ones. Sooo.
Still did have a fair bit of fun today. Mostly due to the deaths. So that's good.

Soon I will have a Llama mount. Soon. They are adorable, I feel bad every time I kill one.
I'm tired of running everywhere around Portia. It's kinda a big map and I don't even have access to all of it yet.
My workshop is now rank C. Yeah, I can now do more profitable commissions. My money level isn't really moving right now. One commission per day that gives you 300 gold doesn't really go very far when you spend has much on a bunch of stuff. Fishing makes more money.
I also solved a bandits issues. Well Arlo, one of the Civil Corp member, solved it for me by saying "hello" to known troublemakers in town.

Does anyone have any experience with DAO just not wanting to start? For some reason today after weeks of DAO starting without any issue today it loads up and when you hit resume or try and load a save it just stops at the loading screen and then crashes to desktop.
After several attempts launching it in different ways, via the desktop icon which is set to run as administrator and all the security options are set to full control and using the DA Origins Mod Manager launcher and also running a repair I finally got it to load via an older save, then in Denerim it just crashed trying to enter "The Wonders of Thedas".
Now it will not launch again at all, just crashes after hitting resume or loading the last save.

dazk Maybe a mod issue or AV update?
In Witcher 3.... Decided to try something new this time - I'm gonna help the Whispering Hillock instead of kill it. Little did I know that agreeing to help would result in me having to run all over creation to find things for the release spell. Got two of them (one was in the same wyvern nest as where Jonny's voice is stolen away but I haven't met him yet) but now I've got to travel farther south in search of a special horse.
Found some of the Griffin diagrams but the last two are in places quite out of my way for now. After I'm done horse wrangling, I need to pay a visit to the soothsayer for yet another round of Gwent.

So, has anyone given Temtem a try? I'm curious whether it is or isn't the Pokémon online game everyone's been craving for

I had that a few times and had to go through my extensive mod file to find the culprit.

I really like Awakenings NPC's in particular, the story is a bit meh but the environments are just different enough from DAO to be good as well. Yeah it felt good to spend som emore time with Oghren given he does join my team quiet late most of the tim eas I tend t odo Orzammar last due to it's difficulty. So it's good we effectively get him pretty much from the start in Awakening gotta love this scene too so funny. It was the exact opposite for me, I was annoyed, that they would toss the stupid drunk at me again. Oghren stayed at camp in DAO and he will stay in the keep in DAA. As for races:I love playing different races. I play elves and dwarves often.

Thanks. The thing was I had been using the same mods for weeks. I found a solution on the net apparently it is a problem with Denerim itself and how it is coded apparently as it uses lots of RAM and the game .exe file only allocates 2GB. If you are using lots of mods like I am apparently it can cause the game to CTD. A guy wrote a program that changes the .exe to 4GB which you can use to update the .exe file and when I did that it fixed that and some texture problems as well.
