Might consider replacing the Chanter (who I assume to be Kana?). They only get good in later levels when they can use the powerful chants and summoning invocations. Grab a solid frontline character like a Barbarian or Paladin (hire at adventurer at an inn if you can't find an NPC). I think your...

I enjoyed CK2 a lot. I still remembre my first game as a Danish king that became the hero of Christendom by smashing the heaten Slavs then stopping a Mongol horde, but my favorite was stating as some lowly Count in France and ending up Holy Roman Emperor in two generations thanks to some lucky...

I wonder what kind of ''evil'' this is. It's Obsidian, so I don't expect us to eat babies for the lulz of it, but from what I've it seems we can still be nice-ish and inspire loyalty, as the Steam page puts it, or we can rule with fear. So I expect we don't have to be evil with a capital E, more...

I recommend it myself. Very solid RPG, and my favorite game of 2015. Good graphics for its style, solid Obsidian writing as usual, decent amount of choices and reactivity (albeit the core story is mostly linear, yes), and most of all a pretty fantastic combat system that, as far as I'm...

I had the exact same reaction. I'm probably not going to buy it, but as far as cosmetic DLCs go 100 options for 5$ isn't abusive. Also, new patch is live, and Mimic Beacons are hit hard; they now cost 75 supplies, cannot take cover and will always be hit by enemies. I feel that's a fair...

Season 5 had a lot of mediocre content (Dorne was just absurdly bad) but was immensely propped up by episode 8 (Hardhome) which was basically amazing from beginning to end and easily among the serie's best. Now they will mosrly work with original material, since the events of the first 5 books...

Yeah, I'm anxious to see what the modders will cook up in the coming months/years. If the game is as moddable as the devs say it is, this game could have a very long life cycle. The Propaganda mod above is already pretty interesting in concept. Hopefully it translates into a solid mod. I've...

I loved the dialog where Central gets annoyed at finding wraps of those burgers all over the ship and wonders how in the blazes did the crew get their hands on them anyway. And then I pictured the squad stopping at a fast food joint and savoring those delicious burgers after a job well done...

Get out of jail free cards is exactly what makes them so powerful. Far more than, say, a grenade in most circumstances IMO. It's also why Stasis is easily one of the top Psi powers; taking an enemy out of the fight for a turn is a very useful effect. It gives you twice a much time to react to...

Lightning Hands is ridiculously versatile. Have an annoying 1 or 2 Hp enemy and don't want to waste a stock shot? Want to fire your pistol 3 or even 5 times in a turn with a gunslinger? Need to apply your poison/burning ammo effect on an enemy? The ability has got you covered. Deadshot is...

I'd ditch the unwieldy TU system for an action point one ALA Fallout (especially Tactics) or Divinity Original Sins personally. Action points work because you can make every single one feel meaningful when you have 10, maybe 12-13 maximum, thus design and balance the game accordingly. As I said...

Yeah, that's how I view it. I'm not against smaller DLCs, but Hearthfire was arguably worse than a few existing Skyrim housing mods, and if Bethesda charges 10$ for robot settlers, they better be great robot settlers. Then again, it's kinda obvious they inflate the price to encourage people to...

I actually had decent expectations, because with the exception of Hearthfire the DLCs for the last 2 Bethesda game were fairly heavy in content. Unfortunately this offer doesn't seem very worthy of the price tag. Workshop and Automatron are already mods, to an extent at least. Certainly doesn't...

Hey now, I only reload if some really bullshit RNG happens. If it's my fault I let it slide. For instance, there was that one time where I flashbanged a Sectoid and Lancer, and they proceeded to both crit 2 different soldiers in heavy cover with their guns, killing them. I just can't accept...

And campaign complete after 42 hours of play, albeit I rushed the late-game a bit. I usually don't devote so much time to games, but real life being slow at the moment + me loving this game helped. Anyhow, my impressions stand; the bugs and poor optimization are the only real black marks on a...

They don't do that much with it, to be quite honest. You got the standard trappings of oppressive government; propaganda, omnipresent surveillance raids on civilian dissenters, checkpoints with armed soldiers everywhere. The storyline reveals further similarities with some real-world...

Well, in the first few missions of the game you're going to kill psychic aliens with swords and destroy their robots by launching acid grenades at them. To say nothing of the endgame where you get very shiny toys to work with. So I wouldn't say it's grounded, no. Which is fine by me, XCOM has...

I'd say XCOM2 isn't that much more complex, but it gives you loads of options. The sheer number of utility items, abilities grenades, ammo types, special weapons and such means that you a lot of freedom to customize and min-max your soldiers. You can bring in 2 Sharpshooters, but one of them...

Even worse because sharpshooters get a very similar ability, Serial, that they can use halfway across the map and does more damage provided their weapons are properly upgraded. Reaper is a very cool ability but not that useful. In general the most powerful combos rely on Grenadiers +...

Defense missions are part of a Dark Event, SuAside. You get warned that a UFO is hunting down the Avenger, and if the event goes through you can see it on the map and can avoid it. It does seem it locks on to your position after a time regardless, forcing a Defense mission after a cool cutscene...
