dazk DragonKingReborn After seeing the flashback at the end of chapter 1, I'm pretty sure I will have to play as Alexios to see how that scene and others differ from Kassandra's story.

I wish I could tell you - Team Kassandra through and through, here - but dazk has played both, so he'll know if there are differences.

dazk DragonKingReborn After seeing the flashback at the end of chapter 1, I'm pretty sure I will have to play as Alexios to see how that scene and others differ from Kassandra's story. Which ones in particular sorry my memory fails me? Is it the cliff scene, then just swap the roles. That is pretty much the same for all of the game IIRC, Kassandra's VA is better as the main character IMO and Alexios VA is better at Deimos but Kassandra's probably equally as good, again IMO.
EDIT: melbella I enjoy playing as Kassandra far more simply as I find Alexios VA's voice annoying, like he is over acting but others are of the opposite opinion like I believe like Kaidan Fan (all hail Sexios ) and Element Zero

Played a sorceress and finished pretty much all the major content in the beta. Played all story and side quests, did a number of dungeons., 2 of the three strongholds and defeated the world boss. I played this weekend too, though only the main story long enough to get my first character to level 20. The world appears to be huuuuge with lots of zones to explore within each major area. I got the rogue maxed at 20, then a barbarian and necromancer each to level 6. I didn't know what time it was ending, so I got up to take a bathroom break and when I came back was booted from the server. Thought maybe I just lost connection but when I got back to the main screen the only option was to 'uninstall' instead of 'play.' I'm wavering on whether to buy on release. I agree it does seem pretty stable. Seeing other player avatars in the game was weird but kinda fun when 2 or 3 would converge on a world event and just whack away at everything. The bosses seemed pretty tough though, even when supposedly the same level as my character. Not sure if they were meant to be taken on by a group of players but it just seemed like my one little toon would do minimal damage while getting the snot beat out of her and chugging health potions, hoping the next hit would cause more to drop. Can't even count how many times I died. I actually had to lower the difficulty from Tier II to Tier I to beat one boss, and it was still hard, and then I just left it at Tier I.
What did you think of the skill trees? I found myself pursuing a single line in each group, rather than spreading points over several options when you can only have one basic and one core active at once anyway.
Yeah, I agree. The difficulty seems a bit harder than D3 at the moment but then, D3 was a lot harder at release than it is now, so that kinda figures. Still, with the right build for my sorceress I was doing pretty good damage but I also read that sorc happened to be one of the stronger classes over all during the beta. As for the skill trees, well, I experimented a bit and some skill combinations definitely were a lot stronger than others. Fortunately, respec seems to be pretty cheap (at least at these lower levels) so one can experiment quite a bit. One thing that disappointed me a little were the legendaries I found. None of them seemed particularly useful and I certainly would like to see items again like in D3, where they encouraged you to use certain skills and really boosted them. I acknowledge that it got a little out of hand at some point in D3 but still, finding an item that would just enhance your damage with a skill by 400% or something was awesome. I hope at least the mythic items (of which I didn't see one in the beta, not sure if they were already around or if there is even a drop chance at this level) will have really strong effects. The legendaries so far were more of a nice-to-have than real game changers for me. Oh BTW, was gonna say this in regard to your ACO posts: On top of the Zeus statue, after synchronizing for the first time.
I hope you climed up the front of the statue and got "the comment".

Fallout 4 An ingrained habit is to build Sanctuary just (or close) to how it is shown in the final cutscene. So that when the game ends it makes sense. A strange habit perhaps, but there it is...

dazk DragonKingReborn After seeing the flashback at the end of chapter 1, I'm pretty sure I will have to play as Alexios to see how that scene and others differ from Kassandra's story. I wish I could tell you - Team Kassandra through and through, here - but dazk has played both, so he'll know if there are differences. There is barely any difference in cutscenes and dialogue. The delivery is quite different. Alexios is a Large Ham Deimos, boasting loudly with obvious overacting (as if deeply unsure of himself and tries to hide it) and wants to tell you that if he comes for you, you will hear it from a mile away. Nothing personal, just the job.
On the other hand Kass is a menacing quiet Deimos. She feels straight up evil in comparison. There is a lot of control in her, she is calculating and doesn't act rashly. To her you are filth and she doesn't hide it. Her words don't feel like a boast (as Alexios does it), but more like she informs you of facts. And if she comes for you, she will slaughter everything you love first and then quietly stab you in the back when you least expect. And yes, it will be personal.

SWTOR
My SI finished her Chapter 2 and started Chapter 3. That means she almost overloaded trying to take down Tanathon after eating a bunch of ghosts and she now has to do "mad sciences" to heal her body and mind. First stop: prison planet Belsavis for mad science. Next: Voss for mind healing.
I'm going to make it barely to Corellia before the double XP expires.

Midnight Suns
Must admit I may do the DLC's in a different order next time because each of the 4 DLC's seem to be seperate stories that involve vampires rather than 1 longer story really. Bu tI'm thinking next time just do Storm's and Morbius's earlier maybe alongside Deadpool's and do Venom's once hi sunlocks even if it does end up making his last. Mainly becaus eStorm and Morbius unloc ka tthe same time as Deadpools really. Venom's is the onl yon ew ehav et owai tfor because of the whole Act 1 business. Either way I'l worry about it next time I play but it definitely feels like I can mix these DLC's about if I want to given it seems each DLC is it's own story. I did start Morbuis's las tnight but onl ydid the firs tpart but I'm closing in on the par twhere I'll be rescuing Scarlet Witch. Strange I haven't really fought her in any sidequests this run though I'v eonly ever fough tVenom o rCrossbones so far in the side missions. It is what it is though I know it's random as t owhic hFallen you fight when you do fight them. Jus tfeels a bit strange tha tneither Wanda or Sabretooth have shown up much in this run. Outside the missions they're scripted to that is. Still my next run might be different. I am enjoying the DLC's though so it's all still good and Venom's was easier to get through than Deadpool's Granted Dracula wasa challenge at the end but no more of a challenge really than most of the other bosses in the game to be fair.
Edit Just had Sabretooth show up in one for once

So wasn't feeling 100% yesterday so as I was at Kythera decided to clear the island of quests. Kassandra saved an idiot fisherman who decided to give Hunting Lynx's a try instead of fish. Killed the pesky Krokottas Hyena, it was the easiest of the Legendary Beasts so far. Killed another number 1 mercenary and Kass claimed her rightful place, looks like she at least died peacefully Rescued the God Empedokoles, yet to travel to meet his family Did the major quest on Kythera starting with "I Diona" by saving the priestess Diona. Kass Flirted outrageously and had her way with her even though she did feel something was a little bit "off" with the whole situation. Found a Photo Mode shot I took last time, why has no one liked it??? I thought it was a good one. Anyway took a screenshot this time replicating finding the cultist and dealing with them. Different time of the day same result. Kassandra Selfie Scenery using Photo Mode

Well, since I'm still parked in the harbor it will be easy enough to reload a previous save and go check it out. Since I know now that Kass is related to Spiderman as far as climbing ability, I won't be as worried about falling off.

I don't like those icons on my map. Is there a way to get rid of them permanently? I deleted a bunch but they came back.

Horizon Forbidden West I tried the last segment of the DLC, fighting the boss. It's exasperating because as I had mentioned I dislike the controller, secondly, there's no end to the Hit This Target! After I finish one, Aloy or that character Seka or whatever her name is would say, there's another blah blah, have to destroy it. So the sequences is Chase After the Boss. Once you caught up to it, it's; First it's hit the orange thing at the boss's backside!!! Next it's hit the orange at the boss's torso!!! Switch to hit the orange at the boss's chest!!! Then it's hit the oranges at the boss's arms!!!, one by one. All four of them. The boss is running away. Chase!! He's going into the water. I was going "Oh no, what am I suppose to do underwater?" I was told there's no underwater weapon but it turns out I have to climb into the boss machine, face the guy and hit more oranges after he shot the electrical waves etc because that's the only time the shield is down. I sweated bullets struggling and juggling with all the oranges and pressing the wrong lever and buttons at moments. As I was on story mode, I didn't die but there was a lot of hp damage. The precision bow is great for long distance but loads slowly. I kept to the bows as I wasn't familiar with the other weapons. When I was near enough the boss, I switch to the faster bows. Cool to face such a boss machine but tedious. At the last, Seka whatever her name wanted to talk to Aloy. I chose; sorry, have a lot of things to deal with, no time for this. Bye. π So apparently there is a rebellion forming in the Quen Empire. I hope it succeeds in toppling the Quen Regime because I was think they are bad news. Really bad news if they decide to invade and definitely they would be better at war since they know modern warfare tactics. CK3 Catherine II passed on at age 83. Rachel took the throne. At one point, there was a pop up that she was thinking of something vital as she lay dying. I was befuddled by this pop up because she wasn't ill nor dying. The kingdom of England is further consolidated with the option to vassalize one of the two remaining Gaelic rulers. That left Connacht in Ireland. The last piece of territory to acquire.

I don't like those icons on my map. Is there a way to get rid of them permanently? I deleted a bunch but they came back. Hit TAB when in the Map screen (I think) look down at the bottom right of the map and it should cycle through what is and isn't on the map. You'll get an ability (passive) at some stage where you can fall any amount of distance which is one thing that stops me having problems in this game with heights. It's great to make Kass jump off a 100 metre cliff. Hey another thought just in case you didn't realise the crates you burn to diminish power in a region you can loot first, it took me a while to realise. Same with arrow holders even if your arrows are full they'll give you resources, the wall around Athens is a great resource for that and for assassinating lone guards.

SWTORBelsavis is done. My SI got a rebuild body at the DNA level, also a super ancient sentient AI and the Dread Masters are free. I also got a special chip for a special project. I really like that quest, because the force persuade option is hilarious and you get a new cult members out of it. My charisma is just that powerful. Next Voss...and weird rituals with talking stones and stuff. Also, being accused of both causing the destruction of Voss and saving it depending if you are doing the SI storyline or the planet one. These things happens.

It was only 2 or 3 days into playing the game the first time that I didn't realise not "much later". I am sure I have jumped off way higher than 100 metres in almost 1,000 hours of playing it was just the first number that popped into my head.

ACVForgot to mention a couple of things from last time. One felt the need to at least dip my toes in the River Raids in order to get some Foreign Supplies to build the armory to have the option to play around with the load outs bit. And also leaning more and more to keeping two fairly normal weapons instead of the Greatsword/ any other weapon combo that I was thinking about as a way of distinguishing this Eivor from my first one. Also started the Randvi romance officially. Eivor was drunk, and bitter, and Randvi was being very flirty and well the voice actress is very good at being flirty...so why not steal Sigurd's woman? I was actually thinking that this would be one of those things, if it was done right, where it would be a one time fling and after they sobered up it would be like...we shouldn't do this should we? And then you get a chance to breaking it off or commiting and saying 'no these feelings were genuine.' So imagine my shock when the next time I see Randvi she greeted me as 'my love' and my options were to 'kiss her' or 'take her to bed.' I broke out into laughter and sort of fell across the couch for a moment. So much for keeping this on the down low. But at least they do make an...interesting couple. From here off to Scoripishire and the next bit of the arc with Ceolbert. And Ivarr fecking everything up. Now off to more RP stuff and much like with HL I am flying by the seat of my pants on this RP and the more things go along with things here. So more and more I think this Eivor is being defined around the tension of Honor whereas the last one, perhaps rhetroactively admittedly, became obssessed with the tension between conquest and duty to family. But this Eivor is fully into buying into his image and buying into slights of honor and other issues related to that. Though as things go on his issues with personal honor is interfering perhaps with the more general issues and principles of actual being honorable to society. People are pricking his pride, so he is going off on it. Heck trying to quantify this right now as I write this. So Sigurd insults him so he goes and steals his girl in perhaps a bit of a complex interplay of emotion and booze...which the game then ignores any of it. But here after talking to everyone once more Eivor is faced with an interesting choice. He gets bribe money from a Bishop. The two best candidates are the wife of the ruler who is the beligerant and the brother of the ruler. One who wants to put the money in the treassury, and the other who wants to use it to depose him so he can rule. Bribery is hardly honorable in either case but going with the brother's plan was more juicy and potentially interesting so I gave it to him despite any of the honor issues...and he promptly gets killed by Ivarr. And then to make matters worse I take the money from his dead corpse. Jedi Fallen OrderAnDromedary I forgot to mention my counter, but also thanks for the advice on it. Weirdly enough not sure how much it was needed since I am getting the feeling the game took extreme pity on me. Loaded it up and the next sphere was now spawned in the middle of the floor. Now I know I am blind but I am not that blind...so thank you game. Zeffo remains a nightmare though as I then got into the Ice Caves and got lost for... an indterminate amount of time...and then got out of it when I entered a lift that I could have sworn I had already entered and that took me back up to the Mantis. Which also took me into an ATST boss fight which kind of destroys the whole Dark Souls 'every time you meditate enemies respawn' gimmick. But less on that because it was off to... Kashyyk. Best planet of the game so far, easiest to navigate and most set piece heavy. Started by climbing on an ATAT and taking it from the inside and then turing its guns on all the Empire soldiers. Dealing with Saw Guerra. Freeing Wookies. Taking out a lot more Imperial Soldiers. Pretty neat. But then back to Zeffo and off to the Ice Caves for probably almost an hour which is a good time to talk about the holo map which I have so far found confusing as hell. Sure neat from an in universe perspective but hard to make heads or tails of it. But starting to figure things out more a little because my solution to getting lost was I noticed that the area I was supposed to go too was one that I had already explored so...I put two and two together and took off in the direction that I knew was where I had been, got lost for a bit again, was getting frustrated, then stumbled upon the solution as I do by stepping on an air vent. But at least I investigated the statue. Turned into an Imperial Base with the next upgrade for BD-1.

I didn't play much the last days, since I had a lot of real life stuff on my plate. But yesterday I did some world bosses again for a change - the Svanir shaman, Tequatl (with my favorite ankle biters - we have such a nice group doing that event), Drakkan, LeyLine Anomaly and Shadow Behemoth.
I'm playing my Asura mechanist for those events atm - I alternate between her and my Asura harbinger mostly, since my Sylvari Soulbeast is still in the Tangled Webs. There she is currently following Rox.
My Asura Lilia on her raptor - it's more raptor than Lilia tbh:

You'll get an ability (passive) at some stage where you can fall any amount of distance which is one thing that stops me having problems in this game with heights. It's great to make Kass jump off a 100 metre cliff.Β You can still die if you fall long enough without hitting a surface. Hard to pull off, but possible. It's a safety feature in case the game glitches and you fall under the world or something.

At this rate all future Bioware games will be half done and modders need to rescue it for free.

Ok, you might remember last video that was undergoing a boss battle to take over the shop, and that just a few days ago both me and poppy were surrounded by flames well, today we continue both of those events and behold, DRAGON!!!!
