It's all good, I was having trouble getting him out of the new post BB armour because I couldn't work out the code for it. But I've discovered that you can get him to equip other PA so I'll shove him in the T60 and follow the codes in the original walkthrough I used to get my handsome Danse back.

 

I thought he'd max out affinity wise after BB but apparently you still have to work on him, am I right? I've only had two flirt opton in all this time, no romance ones. Good lord this is a longwinded process. Good job I plan to build a post end game empire with him by my side, imagine if you went through all this and couldn't play on after endgame lol!

 

And I have finally tweaked Jayden's eyes and cheekbones to a place where I am actually happy with his face! Gave him a new haircut and colour to celebrate his gorgeousness. they'll be quite the power couple down the track lol!

 

 

And am I the only one that loves the Glowing Sea?

 

[Peregrinus]

@Lunafancy  You aren't the only one.  The Glowing Sea runs so smoothly for me so I like spending time there.. even with all the nasty critters there.    But that may have something to do with me now having a silenced gauss rifle fully modded on me.   :>  

 

Ya know it's a pain having to maintain 21 settlements especially when raiders hit your water purifiers and those are not cheap to fix.    

[LunaFancy]

Yes, the life of a slumlord is fraught with responsibilities Peregrinus lol!

 

I got my man! He's sweet as when you're an item too. Only done one romance dialogue and he's already talking about us being in love, what a teddy bear lol! Mind you that dialogue was really heart wrenching, I really felt for him. Nicely done Bethesda, nicely done.

Having a break from FO4, been playing too much. Will probably start a new game but I want to upgrade first.

 

BTW I just found out Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition is not only a release for consoles/controllers, but it features FULL voice acting now (~60k lines of voiced dialogue), and a new tactician difficulty mode, and it's for free for PC players who bought the original game. Don't worry it's not a console port, it's a PC port if anything.

 

This should keep me busy until I upgrade, also found out the processor I'm looking for is out of stock *sigh* will have to import.

D...no...T....he Witcher 3?    Ah yes, I still have to finish that. And play the first big DLC. And wait for the second!

 

Lately refreshed all the mods and added some new. FO4 is still strong & fun, but sooner or later I'll be yearning for a little swashbuckling with Geralt.

 

Dragons Dogma, yes, yeeeeees, I hear ya. Later. ^^

[Peregrinus]

@Jackal  I thought I had mentioned something about Original Sin?    sorry.      The upgrade is substantial and very welcome.     

[Jackal19851111]

I might have missed it! It's great so far, the ui also had an upgrade, theres a new crafting menu that is now seperate from the inventory menu, and backstab angles are now shown, also tactician difficulty is TOUGH! And unpredictable, like I was playing around with the new skills on character creation, fought one battle, then remade my characters, fought the same battle and the skeleton threw a gas grenade! Never seen that done before. New skills and spells too, and animations, dual-wielding!!!

 

With the full voice acting and a new challenge it's a good reason for another playthrough.

 

As for Dragon's Dogma, I'm watching

I'll wait for the reviews and try to get an idea whether the PC controls/ui are good or not.

 

Once February hits though, I'm going to be playing Xcom 2 like crazy.

[Peregrinus]

@Jackal  X-Com 2 should be pretty awesome!     

[Jackal19851111]

Whao DOS:EE is like a new experience! Its full voice acting makes the game so immersive now, I still prefered the old voices but oh well, perhaps thats just bias. The new crafting ui is also a very welcome addition, seems like they added quite alot of new stuff, tons of new skills I have never seen or used, new tactical challenges, its worth trying out if you guys enjoyed the original DOS or the genre.

 

And yeah Xcom 2 is going to be awesome, no doubt in my mind

[Peregrinus]

I moved ugrids back to 5.  It seems ugrids to 3 is somewhat unstable.  The game does run better by far but with crashes to desktop unfortunately.  It happens enough to be bothersome.  

 

I figured out where majority of the crashing is coming from.  It's from having too many save files in the directory..  I thought they had figured that issue out with Skyrim.. I guess not..  I'm also guessing that the save bloat issue will raise it's ugly head as well.   The solution was to delete 20 or so earlier auto saves and turn off the auto saving.   

[LunaFancy]

I'm pretty impressed you're running it on your laptop at all Peregrinus! My laptop ran DA:I in low at around 3fps, which was incentive enough to purchase my gaming rig lol! At least there have been other games that made the purchase worthwhile I guess haha!

 

Tell me about Xcom, I've looked at getting it before but it seems turn based, am I right? Is it isometric or ots? I have concluded after much trying that isometric games are not for me. Dragon's Dogma being OTS is right up my alley, even if the story isn't that well done. I will always wish DA:I had been done better because I still long for a worthy DAO successor with great graphics. :/

[Peregrinus]

@Lunafancy  Well, I'm impressed too! lol   It's this APU on the laptop that allows it to run better but the AMD Quad core doesn't hurt it either.  I ran DA:I on med/low at around 26-35 fps depending on the area I was in, Witcher 3 on low at around 24- 30 fps once again very dependent on location. Of course, I used .ini tweaks, some compromises and mods for both of those.  Another important thing is that the max resolution of the laptop is 1366x768.  I tend to run it either at native or at 1280x720.  

 

FO4 on med/low runs 30+ fps in most areas except Boston Commons and some of the heavier city areas where my fps take a nose dive. (currently using 28 mods in total) 

 

 I believe Jackal explained it best with what's going on with that..  I tend to think it's a combination of unoptimized textures, and also all of the 2048k textures they decided to use for nearly everything.  

 

The CPU rendering the shadows was a really bad choice also. They really need to allow the graphics card to do it.  It would benefit everyone with fps issues, even me.  

 

Unsure if you would like X-com.  It's a 3d isometric turn based strategy game with very little RPG elements.  

[Jackal19851111]

@Luna

 

Surprised Xcom caught your eye, you did mention you don't like turn-based

 

It's mainly isometric, but aiming is over the shoulder and there are cinematic sequences when performing actions. It's also turn-based tactics yes, though the new system makes it feel real-time while maintaining tactical depth.

 

Have a look at the gameplay, it could be the game that brings you into the realm of turn-based strategy games

 

(Tactical aspect of the game)

 

(Strategic aspect of the game)

 

Note: The E3 gameplay above is highly scripted as a demo, for actual gameplay:

 

(Beaglerush is really funny!)

It's tough though, guess you can play on easy but the Xcom experience is all about the challenge, for the player to feel the weight of command, tough decisions, sacrifices, loss of life, soldiering on after customising and training rookies to colonels for weeks, watching them perform ingame heroics, stories forged from the battlefield, only for them to die tragically in one of your missions due to one of your bad decisions (unless you reload of course - save-scumming) etc. Heh it's very intense

 

It's not a mainstream game by any means.

[Jackal19851111]

BTW folks... I'm getting total PAWNED in DOS:EE at the moment. Everything has changed, even the old skills rebalanced, many nerfed, I can't use my old exploits anymore (elemental shields + glass cannon perk = annihilation of everything), lots of new options to compensate sure, but still getting a handle on it.

 

Anyone else played the enhanced edition? Any tips for players of the original? I got the feeling I have to forget and relearn everything I know about the game's system it seems. Then again I am playing on tactician mode.

[Peregrinus]

@Jackal  I haven't gotten very far in EE but it felt different almost right away.  I'm sure they took some player feedback which would explain some things being nerfed.     

 

I'm really enjoying FO4 at the moment.. I was with Nick Valentine searching for one of the holotapes for his personal quest and I walked into a battle royale. A deathclaw fighting BOS knights while they were assaulting a raider owned gas station. Their chopper got shot down by a Raider Veteran on the roof with a rocket launcher which caught vehicles ablaze and sent body parts flying everywhere!   lol  

 

I also discovered a realistic blood mod which offers 1k tex which is beneficial memory wise and finally installed that better performance LOD mod which helped too. 

[LunaFancy]

See Jackal, that's not like any isometric or turn based game I've ever seen before- it looks awesome. You might just be right about it being the one. I love the cinematics throughout, it makes upo for the thing I didlike about iso games- a sense of separation between you and the world.

 

But I still have FO4 to finish (Peregrinus, you've reminded me that I've not done Valentine's personal quest- okay I haven't done anyone other than Danse's personal quest and I haven't even met Cait yet...but since I actually like Valetine I'll make an effort for him!) and then it's only 12 days til Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen goes live, so the Xcom experiment will have to wait.

 

Did anyone play Sword Coast Legends by the way?

 

And did I mention Dragon's Dogma is only 12 days away (and only $30 on Steam I might add)?

 

 

How can you not want it after that?

[Jackal19851111]

@Peregrinus

 

It feels like a new game! I think I bit off more than I can chew with tactician mode considering I was already prepping my characters for elemental shields and glass cannon - only to find out how nerfed they became (glass cannon is now a measly +4 action points per turn for -50% HP?!). Think summons will be my new tactic, what I need are tips to keep my characters alive. So hard now lol

 

And yeah the random battles in FO4 really lead to some very random, epic moments

 

@Luna

 

Ah I see what you mean now, I agree somewhat when it comes to iso games, like sometimes I just want to make the camera look forward. The camera switching to 3rd person when aiming/firing, and cinematic scenes were one of the major selling points of the Xcom reboot for me, I played alot of Xcom-type games over the years so I had my fix, but the Xcom reboot totally kills all of them for me - especially when the Long War mod came out. It provides a cinematic experience without losing tactical depth.

 

Once I had a sniper score a headshot through 2 doors, through a whole UFO and hit her target on the other side of the map haha, saving her squadmates from certain death, or the tension of seeing your assault dodge fire from 5+ overwatching enemies to get to a new position. And these are events that happen in natural gameplay, hence the even though I found Xcom 1's story a little weak (I hope Xcom 2 does better), the stories that were forged on the battlefield more than made up for it.

 

Beaglerush's Xcom 2 previews really showcase how the stories are made, you can see how the player gets attached to their ingame characters too, and how sad it would be if you get them killed. He has 3 videos on Xcom 2, the 1st one I linked above, the 2nd one was his toughest, and the 3rd one showcases his "elite squad" with the game's customisation options (which are so awesome!)

 

Note: he's playing a beta build, most of the bugs should hopefully be squished on release.

 

As for Dragon's Dogma, it's the controls! JRPG is normally horrendous, so I'm waiting for PC control feedback first

[Peregrinus]

@Jackal  You might want to try my strategy for EE then.  Get really skilled in crafting and build weapons/armor. You only need to have one character be good at this but it saved my butt many number of times.  It'll take you a lot of experimenting to learn the recipes but it'll be worthwhile.  Also, have someone take the pet pal ability. That will give you more access to materials for crafting good stuff.    

 

@Lunafancy  I haven't really touched on many companions either.. I mostly used Nick and Danse so far.. I haven't really done anything with the other followers.  I feel somewhat bad for leaving Dogmeat in Sanctuary but I got tired of him stepping into my line of fire as I'm trying to snipe something 500+ meters away.  

[Jackal19851111]

I'm level 4 atm, I made a new two-handed sword but it requires 9 STR and my main warrior has 8 (I'm speccing him for warrior/mage style - maybe it's better to specialise now?). But yeah I'm looking for star dust and a mortar so I can get crafting asap with Jahan (his scientist perk is very useful). I'm unsure about pet pal, there's alot of XP in it, but I did a playthrough on the original edition with it and without it, I actually prefer without.

 

I played through the original 3x, my usual tactic was glass cannon with elemental specialisation in each of the characters, like pyro for my warrior, lightning for my rouge, water for Jahan, and earth for Madora.

I picked up Bairdotr and Jahan for this playthrough.

 

Any other tips? Any overpowered spells/skills that have yet to be nerfed?

[Peregrinus]

@Jackal  I felt that archers were fairly overpowered when I played thru the first time.  Maybe,  they nerfed that a bit too.  I'm not sure.  

 

btw, Deacon is a riot!    

[Jackal19851111]

Well it turns out they didn't nerf crowd control, so been crowd controlling like crazy

 

Got into the habit of saving AP for next turns due to the nerfing of glass cannon but making do

And my trusty summoned spider is also still as effective as cannon fodder I just can't go in via 'god mode' using elemental shields anymore.

 

And yeah Deacon is one of my fav companions in FO4, and he can actually shoot! Not as powerful as Danse but definitely not as useless as Preston (10 shots to kill a stationery ghoul on the floor!)

[LunaFancy]

Ahhh Deacon, he was good fun. He has some great lines, "when you're done corpse squatting" made me lol the first time I heard it. But the disguises! He did my nut in he did, every time I turned around he looked different.

 

I'm really looking forward to a multiple companion mod, would be fun to have Deacon, Danse and Codsworth all together- right up until the first time I need to stealth that is lol!

 

Oh and re Dragon's Dogma, I think I forgot to mention one of the coolest aspects of the combat- you can order your pawn (and they'll do it off their own bat sometimes and call you over too) to grab a hold of an enemy from behind so you can take care of them It's very cool indeed.

 

@Jackal, you'll have to give me a detailed list of your control requirements and I'll go in kb/m and check it out for you. Because everyone should play this game, it's that much fun.

[Jackal19851111]

Sometimes you turn around just when he's changing and he's naked though lol

 

As for Dragons Dogma, just play the game using KB/M and tell me what you reckon. Screenshots of the input menus/keymapping options would be good too. I can adapt for the most part, but if it's something like tapping W to 'limp' forward due to a lack of walk button then no thanks! Mouse buttons should be akin to an action game; left to attack, right to block etc. If RMB is used for something else and I can't remap the block key then yeah, going to be a problem.

 

Also UI!

 

Anyhow it should just feel right, like DAI it was just off, TW3/Skyrim/FO4 I just launched the game, mucked around with settings for 10 secs and played straight away.

[GODzilla]

Mhm...about Deacon: He doesn't change for me. I put him into the Silver Shroud Armor + bowler hat and he looks freaking amazing in that. Maybe that's why he doesn't change.

 

But apart from that his hilarious lies are just great. Such an insane idiot lol.
