So I just made past the entire intro and now with the miller. I see what you mean about fast travel, and even waiting/sleeping too. Good grief take a note from Bethesda games lol. But now I am deciding on whether to mainly stick with the main story, or try do everything. I'm thinking for $3.99, probably just the main quest with a few side quests here and there. But when KCD2 comes out next year, that I will probably grind it all out.

I don't think it's ever coming TBH, but I'll tell you that Jennifer Hale confirmed she was re-recording some of her dialogue, which could be to change it or just to create a digital version vs. what was recorded back in 2001/2002. Could be the original recordings don't exist, thus the need to re-record or perhaps to "improve" it. It's the improving that I fear.....

It's gotten to point with a lot of games nowadays, I dug up an old favorite of mine from 20 years ago, Rome Total War. Been trying some of my old favorite mods for it, couple of which were crashing a ton due to Windows 11 and whatnot lol, but got one mod to run pretty smooth finally. Graphics are awful, but the actual campaign map gameplay is still a blast. And those modders back then were beyond dedicated, as some of them mods took a ton of people to work together for free to make those, like 1000's of hours at minimum. Crazy dedication gamers had back in those years.

Yeah and they just raised the prices of all their controllers by 5$ too..
This generation is going the wrong direction
in other news it looks like the Crew and the Crew2 are getting offline modes. and the Crew2 is currently on sale for a dollar on xbox (not sure elsewhere)

Nothing beats a good PC for gaming.

I have one to work and another totally different to play with nothing else on it so the confusion is impossible and my mind switches to gaming immediatly.

I work almost exclusively on Linux or Unix so it completely changes the vibe with a window PC. Maybe that's why I can game on my PC and switch mind more easily.

Finished my first run of Baulder's Gate III. I'm not sure if I over leveled in Acts I and II but reaching the level cap shortly after reaching Act III was kind of a drag. Made combat feel more tedious and like a chore. Would have liked to see a level cap of 15 or so. Nevertheless, probably among the four or five games I've played that are an absolute 10/10 and I can't wait to dive back in for another playthrough.

You did it soldier !
If you went blind you'll find that the amount of content you missed is just astronomical.
There is a mod which allows to reach level 20 if you want but I think it is well balanced as it is with the 12 lvl cap. You can try it in honour or tactician to upgrade the difficulty.
The amount of details, lore and love in this game is just crazy. Best game I've ever played.

I am playing sam and max on steam deck, the remastered tell tale versions. I beat Full Throttle 1 month ago. I still have not beaten Zelda TOTK, I need to get on that quickly before that next Zelda comes out. I am over 500 Korok seeds on it, I think.
