It had been on my list for pretty much all of 2020, but the janky combat, coupled with the fact that I generally don't like gaming with a keyboard and mouse, kept turning me to other games instead. But today I finally fired up The Witcher 1 for a replay, almost 6 years to the day from when I started my one and only playthrough. Kinda excited to see what details I'll pick up now that I've read the books. Yeah redownloaded th eWitcher series myself recently to have a go at them hopefully I can get through th eseries this time without any damn computer viruses stopping me. As the first time I tried t op;la ythe witche rseries I go thal fway through Witcher 1 before getting stoppedb ya damn virus that forced me to abandon my playthrough. I suppose the good news is though that the half a playthrough I did get in befoer htings went belly up allowed me to get used to the mechanics of the game so as long as I remember what mistakes I made anddon't repeat them I should be fine. I enjoyed wha tI experienced of the firs tWitcher mayb enot as much as I do ME o rDA but I am lookin gforward to playin the games and carryin gm ychoices through each of the games. I twill b ea whil ebefor eI gett othem thoug has I'm busy in Thedas atm on a DA run trying to stop the Blight. I' m hoping to finish the main story tomorrow but I still have the expansions to work through..

Been fiddling around in Cities: Skylines. Restarting many times, trying layouts and different grids and whatnot and I think I've finally figured out how I would want the city to look. Big thanks to City Planner Playing City Builders for inspiration: link

They're not for everyone. What sucks about them for you?
I'm putting everything else aside to blitz through KotOR. Couldn't resist since it was $3.75 on GoG. Still holds up, but damn, the stealth mechanics are awful.

I continued my descent into madness and social exclusion with Crusader Kings 3.
Also, didn't do anything in this particular game, but since it had been on my radar for a long time, D:OS2 was only $25 on GoG, so picked that up. I will play it in approximately 2037, after I have become competent at CK3.

However from whaT I experienced o fthe first games story befoe rmy issues I was enjoying it. It's on eof the main reasons wh yI chose to try and give it another go.

Been playing Cyberpunk, second PT, using a cheat mod to kick the player up any levels and boost up all the attributes, sub-skills and sub-levels. After slogging for the first PT, I'm not incline to repeat it as the progress mechanics and economy are not fun at all compared to recently played games like AC Odyssey and Valhalla. I don't like the music either (I have a preference for orchestra) so that's another minus. I play without music.
I've taken to infecting mobs with malware and watch them reel over, unable to move. If they're mobs who've killed civilians, threatening them and in the process of shooting them, I shoot all mobs in the heads as they lay helpless and blow up their precious vehicles. If the gig is to steal something, I generally leave the mobs incapacitated. If a NPC requested nonviolence, I'll comply.
The next most annoying aspect in the game is when Act Two starts, the fixers threw a lot of car sales at V. This is ludicrous as the vehicles are expensive and returns from gigs / jobs are low. I defined this feature as a drive to fill up player time with extraneous grinding.

I caught up to the story in GW2. I replayed the part that had no V.O. when I played it last summer and did the new stuff that had dropped since. Jormag Rising story was overloaded with sarcasm, I think the Commander is done with this Jormag bullshit. There was some new stuff that dropped today (yes, I have great timing) and played a bit of it. Up to when you have to do special combat missions and I don't feel like doing them yet. ---------- Pillars of Eternity I cleared two and a half more floors of the "Endless" dungeon. The place is hard with a level 5-6 party, it's cakewalk so far at level 9. And by cakewalk, I mean getting swarmed by 20 skeletons (ranger, fighter, wizards) with darguls friends barely damage my party...unless paralyze safe fail on a character and they all attack said character.

Installed and played this "old" game on my current computer just to see how many people still play this game. And i was surprised that this game is still that popular ... it was busy. So i did a few missions quests with my heroes and had fun.

Forcibly opening GoG instead of Steam - in order to prevent myself from opening CK3 and losing 11 more hours of my life - I started in with Divinity: Original Sin 2. Got through creating a custom human female warrior character and played through the tutorial on the Merryweather and have made headway in Fort Joy. Enjoying it quite a bit, so far. It feels a bit like if Pillars of Eternity had a sense of humour without losing the "things are bad and someone should do something" feeling. In other news, I decided to clear out a few games I haven't played in a while and as a result, for the first time since March 2010, there is not a Dragon Age game installed on my PC. I have a feeling it won't be that way for too long, though. Obviously need to replay everything before DA4 comes out

Bought Baldur's Gate EE games on GoG and redeemed old games. Saves, characters and portraits from CD version work. Started EE and I can say, zoom, HUD scale, object highlights and ground fields for pick ups are nice additions.

Baldurs Gate 3
story spoilers - since the game is in early access, I'll put my adventures in spoiler tags.
Sigrun, my halfling ranger freed Halsin, defeated the Goblin cult and found an entrance to the underdark. She also started a romance with Shadowheart at the party, the Tieflings did throw for her.
Liral, my Githyanky wizard, defeated the spider matriarch and her nest in the Whispering Depths and therefore found another entrance to the Underdark. But she still has goblins to slay and druids to save and put a miserable old hag out of her misery, so she will go back up again.I'm planning to do the Gale romance with her - if I can get it to work, Gale is notoriously bugged. I only got the cutscene, that has to occur before certain events, procced once - and I didn't play that character to the end.
This is Liral, my Gith wizard

Added BG EE into PoE, BG mix. PoE: Still exploring caverns beneath my home, but fights are getting longer; maybe I should do some quests and level up a bit first. BG: Slapped ranged weapons on whole party; result - 90% of enemies die before they come to close, so I rarely switch to melee weapons. BG EE: Met first EE companion, Half Elf girl. I can see why people bashed EE, fully voiced characters feel out of place. I suppose DLC is fully voiced as well and was bashed for that reason as well. Personally, I don't mind it, more BG content is welcome.
