This game's plot is going places and I love it! Chapter 3 started off well enough with lots of political intrigue and you are asked to join one group or the other during a vote on the future of mankind, Illuminati style. Old World monarchy vs. New World all hail to America and democracy. Except it's all bullshit anyway and everyone is being played. And I don't think it matters in the end what you do because at some point you get the plot twist info dump on who's pulling the strings, and that's when the game decides to go full on over the top batshit crazy and I'm here for it, baby! BRING IT ON! Before that reveal however I failed to stop a suicide. I was so sure reminding them of their child that I just found out about it a letter I read going through their room uninvited would do the trick but somehow it didn't. Oh well, I kinda grew to like that character. Bummer. On the more fun side, Louis let himself be seduced by the Duchess because that needs to happen in every cheesy detective conspiracy story, right? I was fully expecting this to be a honey trap that would come to bite him in the ass later on, just like every other woman on this damn island has gotten him into trouble. But they have good chemistry, I dig them, so let's do it! No regrets! There's a real nerve wracking morning after that I was worried I'd completely fail and get the wrong person killed. But I managed to get it right. Although, now I wonder how THAT would have played out if Louis had refused the sexy duchess. Hm, interesting... I can't believe I'm only in the middle of the story because, fucking hell, everything's gone to shit already. Three people are dead and I seem to know who the bad guy is now. And it doesn't look like that's a secret one could hide. Gonna be interesting! This is such a fun game. Sure, it's all a mix of everything you've seen before, kinda like a parody almost. Except it's dead serious. But for some reason I'm enthralled. The voice acting is really good. Can't wait to get more people killed trying to do the right thing!

Dropped into Crusader Kings III. Started a new game since there were patches and the old saves are not recognised. I went again with the countess of Canossa (Italy). Went well in the beginning and then things started getting hectic; find a spouse, deciding where to strengthen the borders, find a physician, deciding on lifestyle. Money! I need money! The usual gripe. Always cash strap.

Started playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney- Dual Destinies and got through the first case and so far so good.
Feeling kinda confused on what the heck is going on, but seems like that's what the game is intending so that's fine.
Usually take a case or two to get properly invested, but so far it's interesting. The first case is usually pretty tutorial like, so that bit was a bit tedious, but the case was fun and the new mood gimmick doesn't seem too bad. Had a couple of moments where I knew the answer but had a hard time figuring out which option would express said answer, which was annoying. And also a couple of moments where I was actually wrong and that was kinda embarrassing.
Also found that Not Guilty game overs had Try again which brings you back with full health. Doesn't seem to be any penalty for using them, so it's just skipping going back to the title screen and loading the save from there. So it's nice and hopefully means I can't back myself into a corner.
There are also a bunch of cutscenes in this one, which is neat, but they are voiced and it feels kinda odd. But not bad, just need some time to get adjusted. So all in all, fun times, maybe a bit odd but I'm all for it.

Crusader Kings III So I couldn't build the overall defender option for a country because I kept getting the message the county didn't belong to the vassal. This sent me into confusion until I figured out the county was actually part of a Duchy and I didn't grant that title to anyone. The young Matilda was invited to parties and in one of these, horror of horrors, she became drunk, slept with her steward and became pregnant. eeewwww!!! She had just gotten married too. What to do? I opted to abort the baby. Thereafter, knights and courtiers would take opportunities to profess their love. If I were playing a lustful Matilda I would probably accept all the blandishments but I wasn't. All the suitors were sent away. I'll probably play a character that sleep with anyone they meet in future PTs. After hours of play, Matilda ended up with seven kids because I took the effort to have her woo and romance her husband. This has to be done because marriages are arranged. I find it tedious having to find guardians for all the kids. Matilda and her hubby could teach two each but the rest have to be left to courtiers, knights, etc. And even then, there's no gaurantee they'll turn out well.

The Council
Stuff is getting wild! Chapter 4 is a game changer where you learn a new ability. Apparently the new turn in the story wasn't to every player's liking. I can understand why. Those looking for a more grounded detective story were probably shocked. Me, I'm laughing my ass off. This so much silly fun. I'm having a blast!
I'm not even really mad that I'm making a TOTAL mess of things, lol. I messed up one detail of a puzzle and Louis lost a hand as a result! Ughhhh. There's a cool ring alignment puzzle. And even though I totally understood what I needed to do I got the date wrong. I'm not even sure why. I found the correct bible passage and used that date but it was wrong. Must have been one of those instances where the date doesn't match the current calender. And I didn't get that.
The game has an autosave system, so you have to live with the consequences of your choices. Which is awesome! Because no matter what happens the game continues. In the case of the failed puzzle the person Louis is with does it for you in the end. And now my poor guy is running around with a stump... Sorry, buddy!
One thing that actually DID piss me off is that I failed to save yet another person because that event was on a timer I didn't know about and just talking to somebody too long seems to result in being too late to save that person. WTF, like, this is THE most important conversation of the entire game and of course I'm going to ask all the questions I can! What the hell?!
I went online and apparently nobody really knows what triggers the event. Some people could save the person's despite talking to two people. Others claimed you have to not ask too many questions and maybe punch another one to get past them quicker.
This is a weird one. Losing THAT person really bothers me... Especially because you are told to ask them a VERY important personal life changing question. UGH.
You can execute the murderer if you want. Which I didn't do because I may be getting people killed left and right but I won't commit deliberate murder on top of it, lol!
Can't wait to finish the story this weekend.
I'd love to replay since you inevitably miss out on a lot of stuff. But the game has one glaring design flaw: you cannot skip conversations! What is this?! How does one design a game around replaying for different choices without any means to speed up conversations or just observations on objects in the room??? It's already so annoying when I accidentally select something again and then have to sit through a minute of rambling...
So I'm not sure if I'm going to replay. Which is extremely unfortunate!

Fought four mythological monsters in AC Odyssey and got an idiotic cutscene that made me angry... Why they still include the modern day stuff I already don't understand. Nobody gave a shit about that since Desmond died. But showing me full on Kassandra kicking the bucket? What was that for? This felt so out of place.

Crusader Kings III Queen Matilda died at a grand old age of 71, outliving three of her seven children. A son died in battle, two daughters married to foreign princes inevitably run foul of politics in those countries. Matilda left the throne to her eldest son who, unfortunately, has a reputation. He loves to drink. I expect he'll die faster than his mother since he likes to feast and indulge. *sigh* It's beyond my control when certain traits take over. He has no luck in his wives. The first died after giving him two babies. The second has an affair; he got a divorce. The third died of illness. I'm incline to have him not marry any more and let him have his affairs. Due to his reputation, the citizens of the realm are not enthusiastic in acknowledging the call to the army when the time comes. The levies come inevitably because of his marriages. It's tedious when one after another daddy-in-law said; come join my war!! ugh. The liege is an AH btw. During Matilda's time, he offers her a position only to take it away later. Then he offers it again. I became annoyed and rejected his offers when they pop up. He, or rather his heir, is doing the same thing now. I decided to stop and poke around with playing a custom character. Yes, in CK III, players have the option to jump into historical eras and create their own kingdoms and play character. I've to say the CC is extensive and very good. Below is one sample. The only bad thing about it is I cannot turn the head so I don't have the center view. i.imgur.com/73HJuQv.pngThe finalised character. Queen of England. I popped into the game and regretted it because it was chaotic. Armies from Normandy and whatever else rampaged through England, intending to slice it up north, east and west. It's hardly worth trying to kick them out since the army is weak so I decided to just consolidate Adelaide's lands in the center.

CK III I started a PT with Vikings; Sigurd Snake-in-the-eye. I was having in mind of; affairs since Viking Princes could have many wives / concubines. I ended up having only one concubine because she was offered by a vassal. I was too busy with running the holdings to bother about concubines! I'll try again in another PT. After that I tried playing Duchess Matilda again because I had a nice PT with her before. This time, I applied what I've learned from other PTs. I chose another suitor for her and she ended up having seven sons. Ok, she's prolific. However, I kept losing counties here and there due to cultural differences. Cultural differences lead to little control over the provinces. To gain absolute control, I've to tell the marshal to exert it and this takes time. Another reason is when the vassal has a claim on another county / duchy elsewhere and inherits it, the county I gave him goes with him. Hence, I'll lose that county. All the sons turn out well. Mostly. Just had an outing where the fourth son invited Matilda to a party. By the by, they were drinking and swapping stories. Matilda then related a story of mournful lust for one's unreachable reflection and saw an untoward gleam in her son's eye. π± Nope! Snipe it in the bud before he starts developing deviant traits. Update. Oh noesssss. The son wrote a love poem to his mom!! Yikes! I should have made him take the vow of celibacy instead of marrying him off but I doubt it'll make any difference. What's with this fellow?!

Half-Life 2: EP.2What a treat! Despite being more than a decade old, it stills hold on with great gameplay, decent graphics (the source engine is from 2004 if i remember well), superb animations (second to LA Noire, at least in the face animations department) and an engaging story all the way through (never a dull moment). Quite the business in the Citadel - Unexpected companion - We did it, lads (don't mind the 2 mins after this scene)! Now i'm depressed by the cliff-hanging ending, and the fact that HL3 has been, and will be, on ice for eternity (Steam made Valve lazy, they get all their money from selling others games instead that from their own). Oh well, can't be helped. Now i got Black Mesa to finish...

GW2 I decided to make a new Necromancer. A female Asura this time. It's my 4th Necro. I decided to go a bit differently build-wise thought. I went full minion master + Blood Magic. It's technically less damage than my usual build, but the survivability is ridiculous. I rarely lose health in fight and I don't even try to avoid being hit. It all fall apart if the minions dies thought. I'm already in LS2 and looks like I'm going to be able to take my time because there is a two week gaps after the next episode which ends LS3. Two weeks instead of one is probably because the 17th is the week of the next expansion elite spec beta (for 3 of them). That should give me plenty of time to catch up to LS4 with my new character...and maybe the Guardian too.

CK III At the age of 60 plus, men are still trying to seduce Matilda. Her hubby died while she was in her late 50s but I was disincline to look for another husband for her. The eldest son is really bad. He tried to kill his younger brother, cope a sexual illness because he sleeps around so much and sired two bastards. I tried to disinherit him but Matilda has no total crown authority so she's stuck with him. It's annoying since the second son is the better fellow. The third son is quiet. The fourth son is nutty since he tried to bed his mother and then he too, sired two bastards. The rest of the sons are quiet normal fellows. It's frankly ridiculous when their affairs were discovered and the only option is to imprison their lovers, not them! ugh. I manage to grab some lands. This is what it looks like. Matilda is Queen of Sicily but on the map it says Di Canossa which is her family name. I went to war against the Pope to slice off his territory because he's an eyesore. I didn't want to grab everything because Matilda will end up be the Pope or Popess whatever. He excommunicate her. He ends up with a smaller territory as seen in the image. I finally imprison the eldest son for his attempt to kill his brother. I bet his conversations with his wife and lackeys went; nah, I'm not going to be in here long. Mom's old. Indeed she was. He was in prison for a year before she passed on at age 72. I when I saw the effect on the vassals. Everyone's opinion is in the red! Nobody likes him. I know the kingdom will erupt into chaos so I stopped play. Will play someone else for the next PT. Matilda's eldest in the first PT was better. This guy, wow, he's terrible.

CK3 Started Iberian Conflict and I chose to play Urraca Fernandez, age 33, since she holds a small territory smacked in the middle of her three brothers' kingdom. Ok, start small, easier to manage. First priority, build up the tiny county. Chose a nice husband for her. Husband has no ties to anyone. He's a nobody but he has good traits. She bore him twin sons. Then out of the blue, several months later, she's pregnant. Yay, you'd think. NOOOOO! I π± when I read the pop up. It's her brother's kid!!! What?!! Wait. What?! What?! There was no warning or any sign he approached her. I don't even get to say no? Opted to try to abort the child. No go. The medicine didn't work. . . . I'll see how this goes. π Update. Oh wait. I think I made a horrible error. There was an incident in which I thought a knight was attempting to seduce her so I decided to go positive since I was certain there's a second step. I wanted to see the process since I've been snipping the starters in other PTs. That knight which I thought belonged to her court may have been her brother. The second step popped up and I halted the seduction. I checked, the knight has the same name as her brother! so that makes it confusing. Don't suitors complete the seduction process before bedding? So now when her brother Alfonso msg her, there's an additional description next to his name; lover. . . . ugh She gave birth to a son btw. He's third so he's not going to inherit.

So now when her brother Alfonso msg her, there's an additional description next to his name; lover. . . . ugh She gave birth to a son btw. He's third so he's not going to inherit. Urraca starts with Alfonso as her lover. This arises from a likely spurious contemporary rumor that they were indeed dancing the horizontal tango, which in turn probably emerged from the more plausible rumor that they conspired to assassinate their brother King Sancho of Castile (also playable in CK3). The CK3 team seem to have gone for the most salacious interpretation of events, as is their wont Starting as Urraca a while back, I tried to take advantage of Alfonso being her lover to assassinate him... but I wasn't able to do it before she got pregnant and Alfonso decided to expose the child as his own, which is the height of stupidity. Probably should have broken up with him first chance.

Finished The Council! Took about 15h. I was so hoping it would be the first puzzle game I can get through without looking stuff up. But no... There was one puzzle where you have to put people in a specific order in a line and I had zero action points left to get hints. Then I needed a little nudge with another puzzle. But overall the puzzles are mostly fair and some can be done with trial and error. But not all of them. I did like the puzzle aspect here. As for the story, crazy town but in a good way imo. The very ending is a bit rushed. Like, one minute after defeating the bad guy the camera pans out and you're sitting there thinking "OK, that was that." I believe there are three endings depending on who you side with, or neither. I choose to not support either of the parties. Major hilarious spoilers: So turns out the host of the council that was supposed to decide the future of humanity was... A demon! The Demon Illuminati! But it gets WAY better: you're a demon too. And the mother you were looking for is not your mother but in fact your demon sister! The other party supporting the continuation of the monarchy in Europe is your demon father's brother. And the council is their little game of wits to get humans on their side. But that isn't all of it. The best part was that after the fact you find out that the hot duchess you just banged is your demon sister. LOL. Or rather, her twin sister! The absolute best about this demon sibling incest storyline is that your sister(s) knew!!! Poor Louis didn't have a clue about anything and what mama's boy wouldn't say yes to a ridiculously hot woman throwing herself at him? I couldn't stop laughing. It sounds so trashy but I actually thought the game was great and everything was well acted. And despite everything I shipped Louis and the duchess hard. They have great chemistry. And the only funny banter is between them. Shipped them so much that when I decided to replay Louis banged her even sooner. Ahahaha. Don't kink shame me, BSN! They're demons and all messed up in the head! I would guess most people don't bang the duchess right away because it's a choice between following her to your room or helping a very distraught young woman. If you comfort the woman you're the suspect of her murder that night because Louis drinks with her until he passes out... No matter what you choose, she dies. So that's a scripted death. If he spends the night with the duchess who greets him literally lying on Louis' bed in sexy underwear, subtle as a sledgehammer, he gets to investigate the murder. Well, he can cross off one suspect right away, lololol. The lead-up to sleeping with one of the sisters is actually hilarious if you try to evesdrop on the host talking to his brother. On my first PT, I picked talking to president Washington and missed out on it. Second time around I had to go through the room of the duchess to listen to the conversation through the balcony window... The duchess is in her room sleeping in the same ridiculous underwear. You can then choose to linger and ogle the woman, loool. And surprise, she wasn't sleeping as it turns out and keeps reminding Louis that he's a pervert. Which is just the highlight of their relationship after their first meeting where she tells him they've met before. Louis doesn't remember and you can choose to avoid the question by saying how could a man forget a striking woman like her. And it's total cringe. And so funny that after such a disastrous start and then the sleep voyeurism she STILL was immediately attracted to him and decides to bang him. BEST GAME EVER!!! What's interesting is that I believe on the first opportunity Louis sleeps with the sister he's actually been talking to the whole time while on the second occasion it's the other sister. And it's that detail the sisters didn't share. And it's how I figured out who the real duchess was. At some point you'll decide which one gets killed trying to tell them apart... So I wonder how it's going to play out now. Can't wait! It's definitely worth replaying for all the crazy stuff that can happen. I've only replayed chapter 1 so far. The second time around I won't have Louis reject his family and side with one of the two brothers. One is clearly crazy but the other isn't that much better. They're not creatures of pure evil though it seems. And are descendants from Jesus Christ?!?! Most demons in this world don't even meddle in politics. Which is what I chose in the end. Fuck the family, I'm outta here choosing to let humanity ruin everything on their own, lol. As for the sibling romance, they seem to part on the uncomfortable note that they're into each other even now. I bet there's fanfiction! The irony of the story is that the future Louis' father wanted is actually pretty much the one we got. I like the irony of the entire conversation about humanity Louis has with his father. Yup, give people the illusion of freedom and they won't rebel against their invisible shackles. That's modern capitalism in a nutshell!

I played my baby sith inquisitor Miya Soral a bit. She is on Alderaan right now, chasing ghosts (yes, literally). She is also my only Cathar atm:
Other than that, I did some flashpoints. One of them Secret of the Enclave, one of the new ones. I only did it once before, but the other three players didn'tdo it at all, which made me the expert . We survived and had good fun.

Probably should have broken up with him first chance. Oh is it? I must have missed the tabloid news then. I realised I'm too honourable because I'm thinking of having marriage first before having playable character play around / affairs. However I'm unable to do so because marriage and spouse are stuck in my mind and I'm don't have any inclination to cheat or unless they're Vikings. So the only way to have affairs if I don't have the PC married. I think I'm going to have to do that. Another annoying aspect of CK3 is that the player cannot ransom a family member who's outside the court. It's stupid imo.
