AC Valhalla Played River raids and picked up all the St George armour. Now I'm told to go on more raids to get the next set of armour. Also played Crusader Kings 3 I started a custom ruler, a guy whom I called Juvi (his name is too long) of an island with four counties. Juvi owned a small portion of it until one of the eastern rulers of a different religion took the duchy. Juvi started a war and got that duchy. That left two counties. Years later, one of it fell to another eastern ruler. Juvi went to war again and got it. There's only one county left and Juvi given the option to offer the ruler vassalage which she accepted. Juvi ended ruling that island and became a Archon. He had four kids. I chose to get him a slightly older wife so as to not have a bunch of kids of which I don't know what to do with. I decided not to give away any of the counties to anyone. Despite notifications of powerful vassals expecting council positions, I put the four kids in those positions. Juvi eventually died and according to the will, the first three kids inherited the titles of the counties each. Juvi's heir is his daughter, Catelina, who then conquered the next island and became a great queen. I opted to give one of the counties to the youngest sister seeing that she's the only one not landed. After that, I muddled around for a while and decided to check on the grandkids. 😱😱😱😱 What? My niece is getting married to my nephew? What? This nephew is marrying that niece. aaargghh!! Once they're out of my court, the A.I. is in control. You stupid A.I. What're you doing making Juvi's grandkids intermarry one another??!! 🤣🤣🤣

Who in oblivion thought it was a good idea to tie all the face sliders to the neck colour! lighten your eyebrows and your neck turns green, raise your cheek bones and your neck turns grey. I hope breaking out of this cell is easier than matching body colours. i.imgur.com/SPhpmA4.jpgWait... I think I hear someone coming... Edit: It was just some bloke claiming to be the Emperor, he said I was the girl of his dreams. Yeah, dream on old man. I don't know how people can keep swapping from one game to the next. I keep pressing E and jumping on the spot when I'm trying to open things. On the plus side, my athletics skill is improving.

Been addicted to Spider Man: Miles Morales! Man this game is soooo good! From the web slinging, to the exploration, even the side questing is magnificent! Dare I say better than the Witcher 3! The game has done an awesome job of not only capturing the mechanics of Spider Man but also the essence of what defines Spider-Man. Once I played Spider-Man, It was hard to drop the game, a definite must play if you have a Playstation!

Far Cry 6Today was a bit of a day of discovery for me and well once more my 'good day bad day' seems to also apply. First off it seems like there is base building. After I finally solved my glitch from yesterday I met the Monteros and well they have a base. And well there is actual choices incolved in what to build in the bases because if you build one building, you can't seem to build another. And they actually seem to have an effect on gameplay. I choce the building that seems to give me the ability to have an seemingly DAI type resistance network with missions. Will warrant more experimentation. And well up next discovered with a unique weapon that the unique weapons have unique perks on them. got a pistol that gives me health back on damage, a chance of that. Bad news is you can't put your own attachments on them but it might be worth it. Finally apparently you can chain stealth kills. I don't actually know how to do it but the prompt did come up. Actually had a lot of fun being stealthy and ambushing random patrols with my rifle and also with pistol. Probably the coup was sent in my Guapo to kill one guy and then I got the back guy. Little NapoleanBegan taking out and going after the first Lt. Real piece of work as I am sure they all are. And well Carlos Montero is a...character. He is sick. And he is absolutley allergic to outside help. And also came across him wrestling a gator. And then later he chopped the gator's head clean off.
So yeah...we were hunting down a new lieutenant for Jose Castillo and that took us around to a few locations. Interestingly enough wound up on an island when I didn't remember I was on one so I was just circklign in...thought I ran into another hell of a weird glitch.

I keep pressing E and jumping on the spot when I'm trying to open things. On the plus side, my athletics skill is improving. I remap my controls so the same buttons does less or more the same thing between games. All games. Saying that, I don't have the same key for sneaking between Oblivion and Skyrim. I start to sprint instead of sneak in Skyrim now...

Decided to give Pathfinder a shot. Skyrim's color palette was starting to grate on me a bit.
Pretty early; I'm just doing my first explorations on the overland map. So far the game seems to be doing a lot of things right. I fussed about builds upthread, but unless you're cranking the difficulty you don't need to worry about such shenanigans. (A lot of games seem to fall apart on higher difficulty levels, don't they? Whole systems in Civ VI stop being worth engaging with, for instance.)
In general, I'm not a huge fan of RPG designs where you're expected to reload a lot. In early Pathfinder you might not have any real scouting available, and will lack the magic abilities to hold off enemies while the party disengages.(Edit: of course, if you've got Linzi you can scout anything, right?) So if you blunder into something you can't handle, it's game over. I get the feeling I'm going to be doing that a lot, although I haven't seen anything unfair yet. You know something's going to happen at the Endless Plains, although I didn't expect a manticore.
Speaking of which, displaying a list of all the loot you could have picked up but didn't is convenient, but it sets up a really weird dynamic. You can loot the bodies in the Endless Plains without a fight by turning around and leaving the area. And you don't have to actually look for stuff that isn't explicitly hidden, since the game thinks you found all of it. I'm not sure this is great design. OTOH, nobody forces you to use an exploit.
One thing does bug me, though. Way too few character portraits. (Has there ever been a game with 2d character portraits that actually shipped with enough portraits?) I think Pathfinder might even be worse than BG2 in this regard.

My Sith sorceress Fylani finished her class story today - she defeated Thanatos not once, but twice and became Darth Imperius (hate that name btw).
I guess, I might doing Shadow of Revan with her. I'm not so much into Ilum and Makeb, so I might just leave that out.
My juggernaut Nerys finished the Tatooine storyline and learned a bit about the padawan, she is seeking. She secrectly is planning to ally with that padawan, if possible, and get rid of Barras. He annoys her.

Trying out God of War on PC and so far it's great. They did a solid job across the board - graphical improvements, optimization, unlocked framerate, rebinding keys etc. Trying to get my bearings with the combat, particularly with the zoomed in camera. I always prefer a higher camera for TP games, especially when you have group combat. With this you simply don't have the option to see all your enemies on the screen. Nonetheless it feels awesome and plays well with M&K. It seems very likely, given the effort put into this port, that PS exclusives may all be coming to PC in the future.

Remember, kids, PC is a dead platform. Which is exactly why we're getting Halo (Xbox exclusive until somewhat recently) and many PlayStation exclusives.
I might have to look into God of War later. It was nice to watch on YouTube back when it first released - perhaps it will be even better when played.

Are you using self-shadowing settings with stuff like character overhaul, body replacers or/and seamless? I have self-shadowing off. I vaguely remember trying both and thinking off was the lesser of two evils. I don't like character overhaul, it changes the whole look of the game, I like it to still look like oblivion. I do use an edited Roberts female body replacer, and seamless works on the assumption that the neck/body seam problem is in the meshes, which is only partly true. I keep my game pretty lightly modded because I can go 20 levels without a crash (something I could never do with all the usual favorites) i.imgur.com/DV0dDSU.jpgI find it best to not touch any of the color sliders outside "skin" and even then...sometimes that just change the face and not the rest of the body. Yes. Not touching any of the colour sliders does net the best match, but what sort of character creation is that? I've already been to Leyawin and picked up the Amelion armour (which doesn't show the neck) so I'm good. But have you seen the prices here in Cyrodil, compared to Skyrim! I fought off the invaders and claimed Battlehorn Castle, got two and a half grand for all the loot, and it was only enough to refurnish one bedroom. For that I could renovate the whole of Breezehome, and got a housecarl thrown in for free. I remap my controls so the same buttons does less or more the same thing between games. I was going to do that, but after a couple of hours I'm getting used to it.

Good job getting to level 20 without crashing. I don't think I even managed that on a no-mod Oblivion back in the days.

I thought you meant this seamless mod www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/44360?tab=description which is only meshes and an egt file. I removed a lot of the dark green from the Roberts footfemale textures (altered on the left) to match the natural face textures that I also edited with the same colour. i.imgur.com/VChP7kh.jpgAs long as I change no colours at character creation they match pretty well, but changing the colour of anything makes the green return. The more changes you make the dirtier the neck gets. And yes a completely un-modded oblivion will crash, but there are ini tweaks that improve things. A couple of vanilla crashes where addressed with the unofficial oblivion patch, but I just avoid opening those barrels, and the one door that always crashes in vanilla, I just save before opening it and it doesn't crash after reloading the save. I can't get 3 hours without a random crash with the unofficial oblivion patch mod installed.

Madden 22Oh boy. Something something, something Thanos, this puts a a smile on my face. And well of course through circumstances I have been playing a lot of games that will get flossed over but year 2 with the Bucs and I am up to 6-0 now. So there was a lot of crazy mumbo jumbo and I will unpack some of it before catching up with my week 7 game against the Panthers. -So amongst a few other things had a great TD catch against the Rams. Threw it to Godwin in the corner of the endzone and the Ram DB tipped it up but then Godwin adjusted and still caught it for the TD. -Cooks got his first score of the season finally for me, as good as he is I just can't score him a lot, I think that was in the week 5 game...against the Panthers. -I am pleased to report though that he is getting more overall attention then in the first version of reality. Already got 9 catches for 122 yards. -On the season so far, at least up until week 7, Godwin and Evans of course lead the pack seperated by one catch, 42-41, both had over 500 yards, though Evans of course had 14 TDs. I forgot the number of catches that Gronk has but he and Cooks both are on pace for 1000 yard seasons as well. White rounds out the notables with 18 catches going into the week 7. -Brady including the game has 35 TDs, 10 Ints, and 130.3 QBR with I think 2800 + yards. -And of course the game is doing the whole 'Chris Godwin needs a whole crap load of yards to unlock something special'...three times so far...and so far I am 3 for 3. -Oh before I forget I also have no clue on how one unlocks super star and the next progression for the tallents. I'll take it though since I unlocked Fornetts super star X factor but it just does not make sense because I do not think I came close to any of the metrics. So week 7 against the Panthers. Beat them 80-7. And well it was also the third of the 'get Godwin crap ton of catches so he can do good things.' Which explains a few things but here we are. Still Fornette despite limited work for those reasons but Fornetter had 16 carries, 160 yards, 3 TDs on the ground. Jones also added a rushing TD. Brady always loves throwing against the Panters...actually real fast though the start of the crazy plays despite all of the crazyness all over the tone was set instantly. I rushed 26 yards with Brady on the first play of the game, that is insane for Brady and well insane for everything else since Brady still went 40-50...two Ints...but 614 yards, 7 TDs, 140 QBR. Had to get Godwin his 150 yards. And he did. Godwin had 2 TDs, 11 catches, 162 yards. Evans had I think 7 catches, 2 TDs, as well, over 100 yards. Gronk had 6 catches over 100 yards and a TD. White had 6 catches for 83 yards and a TD. Pretty sure Howard also got a TD. Also really fun throwing to Fornette because his ability to just run through people works just as well when you throw to him then when you run with him, 3 catches, 48 yards. Plays of the game though. First off maybe the best throw I have ever done in Madden. Just beautiful. Maybe backed up a little too far, rolled away from preassure, apparently 70 air yards to Cooks. And not even my primary guy. Went empty with the two minute warning trying to get more points and my intended target was Evans going towards the side line, but he was well covered by one of the best corners in the league so just saw Cooks all alone beat his coverage so heaved it to him. Seveny air yards. Then hit White on one of these..ugh...out then in routs but had to wait for him to clear, he did. Forty three yards, TD.

Trying out God of War on PC and so far it's great. They did a solid job across the board - graphical improvements, optimization, unlocked framerate, rebinding keys etc. Trying to get my bearings with the combat, particularly with the zoomed in camera. I always prefer a higher camera for TP games, especially when you have group combat. With this you simply don't have the option to see all your enemies on the screen. Nonetheless it feels awesome and plays well with M&K. It seems very likely, given the effort put into this port, that PS exclusives may all be coming to PC in the future. It's good to hear. I plan to pick it up sooner or later, so it's very good news. Now if only they decided to bring Persona 5 to PC...

Watched a vid earlier about a Sony fanboy saying that GOW performs better on PS than on PC idiotic if you ask me. Everyone knows it's down to what hardware you hav in your system. I haven't got the game as it doesn't interest me only upcoming one tha that is tempting me is the Uncharted one that's supposedly coming soon as I am tempted by that. TBH Uncharted and Forspoken aer the only games in th short term that are on my radar atm.

Baldurs Gate 3 Fighter boy visited (and killed) the awful gnolls. For such horrid creatures their little yips are adorable. Like awwww so cute but you are absolutely vile in every, single other aspect.
Then Gale recooked his deer stew and tried to prod out another magic item. So got miffed and quit playing, but realized I can give him the awful iron bottle to munch on. Since fighter boy didn't really want it, I just can't resist bullying options with him.
Kinda crossing fingers that the Zhent was honest in "No hard feelings" and not just luring fighter boy in to kill him. Could also just try and grab that sword form the paladins of Tyr, since even if Karlach hasn't gotten a gnarly new model, she's still a tiefling. So got choices I guess. Or could just feed Gale the staff, since he spends most of the fights dead anyways, so what use is a stick to him?
Actually nvm we've got weaponized Salami, the staff can go.
Astral Chain Finally went back and did the sneaking section. Found two new quests while looking for it (so that's a win) and got ran over by the mascot while it was running (alas before I realized the mascot had a quest for me so missed that). Auto-Bind was absolutely useless for me, but aggressively using the regular Bind did pull me through. Then realized I had forgotten the key to attack with, so pretty much devoured my stock of healing items, pulled the camera out and in and got severely beaten until I realized I could just look up the key binding in the pause menu...
Then some more brainfarts a bit later when there was a timed clean up section and I got mad at a platform bit. So there are some platforms you need to jump with your legion and then you need to bind some portals with said legion. Except said portals don't want to be bound and fire blocks at you which can push you off the platforms and you need to jump it again. So got pushed off a lot. Getting angrier with every push. Until I realized you can go inside one of the legions like an armor and the blocks wont push you. The same legion which is ideal for moving the platforms...So bleh.
Took a break between chapters, which was good because the next session was fun. Things really picked up, there were boss fights, there was drama, there was cat saving, there was platforming, there was a toilet. Things got wild.
Figure I'm pretty close to the end, so that will be fun. Ended the session on a bit of a cliff hanger. Or a cliff dropper that is. Either way exciting stuff.

So for the past few days have got quite a lot done in terms of character build and story advancement and The Cartel is about half dismantled in terms of the heads of the provinces and their various roles in the cartel. That said it really isn't resonating with me and the dialogue used in some of the interviews and videos etc, shows the games age. Still enjoying my wins in combat, doing some good stuff but everyday contains and lest one classic FUBAR. I also cannot count the number of times the protagonist gets stuck somehow and yesterday I had a Cartel head I had to extract walk into an area I couldn't grab them and walk out of. This after a good 30 minutes of being patient taking out generators, alarms, guards and then just having to grab the guy and walk to a chopper. Fortunately I was able to break out of the area using a grenade!!!! Then the shitty plot twist, OH he was just a decoy. Had fun when I captured a Unidad Attack Helicopter although some civilians found out the hard way that it fires missiles. Somme Unidad bases found out that missiles make their camps a walk in the park. Sadly after seeming to have mastered the plane landing with 3 in a row previously, yesterday I panicked and hit a wrong button and landed nose first which apparently because the plane explodes doesn't count. Tried to remember to take some pic's yesterday. How to land a plane How not to Went to capture this guy and found him just hanging around in his villa, bad taste? Gratuitous picture warning. Selfies

So for the past few days have got quite a lot done in terms of character build and story advancement and The Cartel is about half dismantled in terms of the heads of the provinces and their various roles in the cartel. That said it really isn't resonating with me and the dialogue used in some of the interviews and videos etc, shows the games age. Still enjoying my wins in combat, doing some good stuff but everyday contains and lest one classic FUBAR. I also cannot count the number of times the protagonist gets stuck somehow and yesterday I had a Cartel head I had to extract walk into an area I couldn't grab them and walk out of. This after a good 30 minutes of being patient taking out generators, alarms, guards and then just having to grab the guy and walk to a chopper.

Selfies God now I almost wanna play this game again. And yeah I was wondering what you would make of that...one guy that was the decoy whose name or area I cannot remember. Honestly that mission was one of the hardest in the entire game for me and is always such a trip every time I try and do it. Ugh just having trouble remembering any of their names. But glad you got through it at least? *thumbs up?*

But glad you got through it at least? *thumbs up?* It was El Cerebro and it took two attempts, the key I found second time was coming in the front gate taking out some guards there and shutting down the generator then the idiot other guards kept coming through the gate looking for me. I just lay there and shot them until there were only a group around his hut at the back and the drone/squad took care of all of them except one guy who was with him.

I rescued Martin Septim from Kvatch. The grandmaster of the blades would have done it, but he was in the middle of a good book and couldn't put it down, so why not leave the fate of the empire in the hands of an escaped convict. The rest of the blades are at cloudruler temple, training in case something more important than the end of the Septim bloodline, or an oblivion invasion comes along. In the afternoon I got rid of a few necromancers for the Daedric Prince Meridia. She repaid me with the ring of khajiit, which is already redundant as I finished up the day with a trip to Pale Pass for Countess Narina Carvain of Bruma. She traded me the draconian madstone I found there, for the ring of the vipereye, and I found the circlet of omnipotence in an old chest. The circlet of omnipotence is actually a ring and not a circlet. So now I have to decide what to do with the loot. Buy an unfurnished house in Bruma, or get two upgrades for Battlehorn Castle. Oh and I bought a spell from a mage at the mages guild in Bruma. Only to find I'm not experienced enough to use it. Yeah thanks for mentioning that Volanaro.
And who's writing this shit in my journal? "I've entered what appears to be a recently abandoned farmhouse. Perhaps if I search around, I may find a clue as to the owner's whereabouts." Yeah, well I looked around, and I couldn't find squat, so what does he know.

Madden 22You know I thought I was fearing down and losing steam on this game? And for one reason or another just kept playing it this weekend and wanting to play it. Which of coursse is a complication since I generally want to finish Far Cry before Dawn of Ragnarok comes out. But yeah. So up next, much to my wife's chagrin, the Arizona Cardinals. And also much to her chagrin well I nailed them. One of my best sequences within year 2 of Madden maybe since the opening game. Brady had his first perfect passer rating of this season. Brady completed his first 20 ish passes in the game at least and was just taking shots down the field, not as much as against the Panthers but then again I pretty much got the running game going in this game to for once and Brady only had to throw it in the end about 33 times. 31 completions, 422 yards, 4 TDs. So first off Fornette had a pretty big game and a pretty big workload. 28 carries, little over 100 yards, didn't score, but then Ronald Jones added a TD later. Evans had 7 catches for 75 yards. OJ Howard has had 5 catches and a TD. Just a lot of people getting involved. Of course though my intention was to give Godwin a bit of an off day considering he didn't have to get that whole 'must get that whole 150 yards thing' but he just keeps getting opened and was a bit of a wrecking ball, finished with 10 catches, 132 yards, and 2 TDs. He already nearly has 1000 yards on the season and a lot of TDs. In more of a negative outlook James White only had a single catch for 48 yards and Gronk only had 1 catch for 18 yards. And well just so many weapons for Brady to throw to so many people to want to get involved and not all of them are always going to do it...unless people get hurt. Of some concern is Cooks has been having trouble for me in converting or dealing with high pressure situations throughout the season. Couldn't make a catch in traffic against the Cards on third down, now again was hit, and now I remember he has trouble with that kind of thing which was mentioned when the Pats got him way back in is he didn't do good in contested catch situations. Which then of course it was ironic when he was a second or third option on a third and short for me, but he got opened on a zig route and Brady, this time kept him in the pocket unlike that fifty yard bomb from yesterday fired it for the first down. But then somehow he is third on the team with catches with 32. Which means 3 WRs have the top three catches...which I like for symetry having a running back, TE, and WR each with the top three...but that is not happening. Gronk is fourth though with 28 and White is behind him at 25. Plays of the game. First one little sticks play with White lined up to Brady's left and well I was quite sure I could get him in him in isolation...just had a feeling. I was right and well he broke free for a huge game, didn't score, but huge gain. Then just one of those plays to Godwin that has become so expected. Wanted to just pick up I think a third down situation but then I saw Godwin was pretty much wide open all alone but the catch was one of those things where he adjusted to stay in bounds and then resulted in a score. Which last play 4th and 23, one of those high risk things but hate turning the ball over on a punt in these situations so went for it. One of my favorite big money plays that I have run before and described before here but again, Miller got open and he made the catch. Didn't get far as they did recover, but far enough to pick up the first down.

SWTOR
I was quite busy and am not sure, if I remember everything. I did conquest on a few characters, which mainly meant, that I played their class story (my agent, juggernaut, Togruta bounty hunter, Cathar smuggler, Twilek sage - to name a few). THen I helped a friend, who is new at SWTOR with some stuff like heroics, Esseles and explained a few things.
At the moment I'm trying out the Feast of Prosperity event with my Togruta juggernaut and found out, that I'm not really interested in the things you can buy for the tokens, so I stopped serving tables as a droid, cook and what else you have to do.

Astral Chain Played some more yesterday and went through yet another stealth section. But this one wasn't timed tailing mission, so it wasn't as bad as the other one. It was annoying for different reasons. But the bit after that more than made up for it. The session before that was more tragic drama and this was more "Yes!" drama. So that was nice. Then did the final section today. It was pretty neat. Had a cozy little bit in the front and then bonkers excitement in the back. Lots of utilizing the different legion you have, which was much appreciated. The boss fight had tons of action, tons of drama and lot of flashy stuff. So that was nice. Ended up chickening up at the end and kinda liked how that turned out. Not a happy ending but still fitting. There is one chapter more, but it's mostly just combat missions which are considerably harder than the main game and I kinda don't wanna tbh. Instead started a semi second run, aka redoing the chapters using the first save, playing a bloke this time around. Did prefer being female though, doubly because I found the male twins voice more pleasant and he's not saying much more than "Legion" and various grunts from now on. But the game is still nice. Upped the difficulty to standard and now I get ranked at the end of the mission. Been scoring solid "S" but S+ seems to evade me, unless there is combat with Legions involved. But still not too far into the game figure my rating will drop soon enough. But all in all, really enjoyed the game. Just the right amount of action and drama for me. Maybe not the most groundbreaking stuff, but it had some interesting ideas and was very good fun. A pic of my protag since top spot. And a tiny bonus Rune Factory protag and chicken pic.
