azarhal I turned up at Riverwood and had some how accrued a 20,000 gold bounty, god knows how or one of them does!!!!! Are you on PC?? If this happens you can just type in to the Console: player.paycrimegold 20000 or whatever amount you need to set it to zero. The amount you owe can be found in your journal under "Crimes" but you probably knew that anyway. I never had any issues with accumulating bounties in Skyrim. But 20k gold bounty, I really wonder how you managed that. Stealing is half the value of the object, murder/vampire/werewolf is 1k and the other crimes all under 100 golds. I had an Elk scare the population of Riverwood thought (when coming up the road from Helgen). It was kinda hilarious how scared they were of it. Than one of them shoot it before I could. It's a common bug I discovered when I was googling how to fix it. Just happens for some reason.

So 20 murders? Sounds about like an average Skyrim day. Probably 21. The last one can't report his.
But Skyrim can be really weird with bounties. I really tried hard not to do crimes with my Paladin and as far as I know I never did any. Dafinitely never murdered anyone (that is counted as well in the crime stats and it's 0). Still had about 2000 lifetime bounty somehow. None of the guards in any hold ever mentioned it though, maybe it's because I am Thane in every hold or something? No idea what's going on there. My usual crime is stealing a damn plate or cup or something next to an NPC you are trying to talk to, to the point I have a nervous twitch that make me hit F5 before I speak to just about anyone but especially any shop keep or Bar Person. What I find funny is I walk past 50 guards but the one I decide to talk says hey, I know you, you're wanted for crimes. Oh well I just pull the Thane card, bribe them or with one of the MODS I have "persuade" them and you don't want to know what that can entail.

I was once playing as a necromancer and was Thane of Falkreath. At midnight I was at the local graveyard digging up a corpse, and when I walk out of the cemetery I bump into a guard. I looked at him he looked at me and the corpse and just continued his patrol.

Fallout New Vegas
Boy continue to think this combat system is...erm...the shotgun is the funnest I have ever had with that kind of weapon. It actually helps mitigate the VATS stuff a little bit but is pretty fun to use. Also figured out how to use the ammo switching components which does bring up some thoughts on which guns I want to carry moving forward.
With that outo f the way made a beeline to the Lucky 38. I find it very curious that you can basically hi jack the main plot of the story by doing it this way. Because you are supposed to follow this involved path...next thing on me was the whole Boulder City part of it and getting the Khans. But you get to the Lucky 38 and House is like 'yeah here's Benny, go get him.' Which is kind of...weird. I get it that Open World games should have different ways of doing quests, this is kind of part of that honestly, but should'v just had House say 'I don't know where Benny is he has dissapeared.' Which would make a lot of sense given that Benny was trying to pull a fast one on him.
From there beginning to go through and get the rest of the companions is the next big plan for me. Found Veronica and Cass and added them to the list short off...working on finding Raul next I think. But made a stop over in the plant based Vault which is another pretty involved quest hunting through the guts. The spore carriers can really blend into the background.

SkyrimI went to do a bounty for Whiterun Jarl picked-up at the local Tavern, but I forgot I didn't trigger the main quest yet so it was annoying to turn it in at the Steward. Warl is now running away from Whiterun so they don't realize he's not interested in playing "fetch". I'm not sure where the sweetest bounties could be thought. Riften? Falkhearth? The Pale? Solitude? This is Warl the Bounty Hunter

I was wrong. You can get the Triss card when playing only the DLC. It's on Lambert's bed at Kaer Morhen. i.imgur.com/bYnjWa4.jpgMakes me wonder if the Dandelion and Milva cards aren't hidden somewhere too.

The Triss card from Lambert, Draug, from Crach en Craite, plus Milva and Dandelion from the Vegelbud tournament. You can get the Vampire Bruxa card from "Till Death Us Do Part" if you side with the woman. Strange that they made the other quest cards available but not those 4. You were able to get the Geralt card? If I recall Thaler is at the Seven Cats Inn, but normally you can no longer play him. I don't think I'd ever do a DLC start run, I would miss my stockpile, but it is cool how most of the little easily missed mini side quests are available. I'd played some ME3MP, I play a match or two every couple of years. I was a little surprised when the host messaged me in the lobby, wanting me to switch to a higher level character, no free riders apparently. I left the lobby after that, and had a little chuckle, you'd think for someone who's earned tens of thousands of challenge points, they'd have a better understanding of what certain classes can do. When I saw it was a gold lobby, I had switched to a level 12 Turian Ghost Infiltrator, because anyone can do well with this character. Hell, I suck and I soloed gold twice with this character back in the day. Apparently, I should've switched to literally any level 20 character and then be terrible. Haha. Anyway, I played a few matches and had some fun.

You were able to get the Geralt card? If I recall Thaler is at the Seven Cats Inn, but normally you can no longer play him. You start the Blood and Wine DLC with Geralt, Fringilla, & Isengrim Faoiltiarna in your starting decks. It seems you only miss Dandelion and Milva. (They may be in the game and I just haven't found them.) Ermion still tells you to play Crach, but of course he's dead by then, and the quest just jumps to playing Sjusta, without giving you the Draug card. i.imgur.com/o5Uh4C0.jpgInterestingly, if you start the Heart of Stone DLC instead, you don't get the extra cards. And since you get both DLC's in your journal from the start, you may as well start a new Blood and Wine game and do HOS first if you want to play HOS. Edit: Wrong again, It does give you the Draug card as well, after beating Ermion.

Also, makes you wonder how he got it. I mean, given how you acquired those cards in Witcher 1. There's a fan theory that when the Witchers are gathered at Kaer Mohren in the Witcher 3, and Geralt, Eskel, and Lambert are sitting and talking. They play a game where they talk about any regrets they had, and Lambert says his regret is sleeping with a woman who belonged to a good friend of his. Geralt or Eskel asks him who; and Lambert gets quiet and says something like it doesn't matter. Fans believe the woman was Triss and he did not want to let Geralt know he betrayed his trust.

Well, we already know they play "Have you ever....?" so that fits. Doesn't speak well of Triss though.

Skyrim
Warl ended up in Markarth and he's kinda regretting it. Not only was there a murder in front of him right when he entered the fortified town, but the first bounty he got was all the way out of The Reach near Whiterun land. It wasn't an easy climb either. Also, some dodgy dude was trying to get him involved in the murder.
The Reach is pretty, but some of those location aren't easy to access.

AC Odyssey
Yesterday I did the Lightbringer bounty which I think had been in my journal since near the beginning of the game. I bought it on the first attempt (and ran out of arrows ) but got the bugger on the second attempt (and ran out of arrows). There was lots of dodging, rolling, and running away involved. And lots of (cue Sera voice) arrows.
Then I went to Melos for a bounty on the leader there. Whittled a few guards out of the way but had to go to bed. Finished the bounty today, then headed for the Battle of One Hundred Hands. Had already met up with and sparred with Roxana so knew of course that she and Kass would be the last two standing. This 'fight' was weird because I wasn't always sure if people were participating in the fight or were just guards hanging out watching. Also killed 2 other mercs that were involved, though they may have been bounty hunting me for killing the leader guy. Anyway, everyone died, except Kass, and of course then the organizer revealed himself to be a double-crosser and he and his goons died too.
Kass was sad having to kill Roxana. Next sailed to Kythera where more fun awaits. There's a cultist hiding out here somewhere and I'ma gonna find her (I think it's a her) and kill her too.

What abilities are you using melbella ? Depending on earlier actions you can have the option to not kill Roxana. The Kythera cultist has a fun twist Plus you get to fight the worst (maybe 2nd worst) Legendary Animal there IIRC. You also need to do the optional quest "A God Among Men" on Kythera which ultimately leads to a necessary part of The Atlantis arc somewhere else.

Kass was sad having to kill Roxana. You do know you don't have to fight Roxana don't you? She is a gold class Lieutenant. And one of the romances that have a small continuation down the line. Plus a funny dialogue, like: Kass: Hmm, so what you've been up to on my ship, girlfriend? Rox: You kidding? Rowing, attacking other ships, rowing, pillaging, more rowing. Just look at these arms. Kas: Mmm, I am looking ❤️

Say what now?

Fallout New Vegas
Where was I?
Ah yes hunting down for companions. Up next recruiting Lilly essentially and Raul.
Not much to say with the Lily recruitment per se. But the struggle with Keene was acgtually a bit humurous because wifey suggested that there was a different possible solution to it so I reloaded out of pure curiosity and no different solution...but it was kind of funny because it went much better because I basically two shotted his head. Plus the moral decision on what to do with Lilly is the most powerful in the game so far and probably one of the better ones in RPG gaming. And its something that does not really sit too well with me in the end because taking advantage of a basically elderly disabled woman with psycho issues...but she does claim to want it and the hope for the needs of the many. Still not sure what I would do when faced with a situation like that nor Raylan...but in the end went with it.
Raul's quest meanwhile presents a rather nice setpiece fighting up to him from Black Mountain against a lot of super mutants. Bit of an interesting struggle too. Felt like Fallout Vietnam for a second since I plucked out the Service Rifle to use on them. Mind you I am somewhat eager to try and utilize the Assault Carbine and see how it works/ acts. Also got a .308 hunting rifle. Funny as it was it also came up on me as after I talked to Raul Tabitha actually came down to fight with me...so problem dealt with in that regard. I think i am hijacking things the game wants me to do.
Speaking of to before I got to Black Mountain got into a little bit of an odd sequence with the Legion. Ran into a rat Btard for an NCR officer who wanted me to sneak into a Legion Area to kill NCR hostages so the NCR soldiers would have no fears about going in there to kick some legion butt...hmm never did check in with him. Anyways I told him to kind of pound sand but little way down the path ran into an NCR soldier which was all like 'please save my friends'. So general assumption same group but I did...the funny part is that the Legion had no issue with me being there at all. But I hate the Legion so I slaughtered them to a man and a dog. But they just refused to go hostile even as I gained more and more infamy with them and became villified. I felt so bad basically attacking them without provocation as they were still in the 'green'. But...wonder what would happen if I tried freeing the prisoners without wiping them out...but in the end they are Legion.
Final Fantasy 7
So this game continues to be very frustrating in how it handles its quests, its side quests, and its map design. Just ugh. Today's example though was that the Corneo vault needs to be done by advancing the main story. It did not tell you that. So had to read it online...and I did it.
At least the main quest involved was kind of neat. Got more backstory on 'Leslie' the man who helped us against Corneo the first time. He had a fiancee that was chosen as Corneo's bride, she dissapeared, he swears revenge. A little 'abzu' stole a keep sake from her so we had to follow through the entire sewers to get it back. Ran into COrneo, he wanted to handle him by himself, and well didn't really. Corneo did a fraking call back to that dialogue choice I couldn't choose and I was hoping to get a second chance...BUT NO. Fought a giant boss battle, Corneo gets away after more villanous monologuing. Characters in this game are rather two dimensional aren't they?
Well from here...this game kind of has the same problem as Ragnarok based on how it does its chapters so several different mini 'points of no return'. I think the game is building up to a final one. Which is sad and makes me maybe want to do a replay because I do understand the game so much better then I did when I started...always a risk...but would've been able to get alternative materia and what not. But in this vein also understanding so much about the game in the eleventh hour. Chudley also has alternative materia you can aquire for the summons. In the virtual battle arena. The Ice lady and the Fat Chocobo...so that is very nice. Also picked up a new weapon for Cloud.
With that...off to save Aerith.
