Heya!
So, nothing going on smut-wise this week. Guess I needed a break; also, I've been dieting, and that may be affecting my libido. Down twelve pounds though!
So let's talk about video games. I've mostly been playing modded Skyrim recently - I tried out the Helgen Reborn mod, and the Rigmor of Bruma mod, and the Bruma mod, and a bunch of other stuff that adds sexy clothes and things. No catgirls yet.
The mods have been okay, although it always surprises me how much effort people will put into these things - voice acting, new character models and objects and skins, not to mention the dungeons and quests, etc - and yet the writing always seems, well, not great. I mean the quests in stock Skyrim are no Grapes of Wrath, but I'd just think, I dunno, that fan-made stuff would be better. Maybe I'm just entitled, I dunno.
Actually what I've enjoyed the most recently is doing some of the base game stuff that I'd never done before, namely to collect all the dragon masks. There were a bunch of large-ish dungeons which I'd never delved! So that was fun. But, of course, I'm done now.
I also picked up Cities: Skylines, because it was $5 on a Steam sale, but I just couldn't get into it. It seemed more like work than like fun. Maybe I'll try again later.
Just today I'm noticing all the sudden buzz around Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which was released today. Or last night at midnight, whatever. It's a somewhat Skyrim-style game only set in a realistic Bohemia of 1402, so no magic and you have to eat stuff or you get weak and die. Although you don't get to design your protagonist - it's always the same guy - I am a huge history buff so a realistic medieval Bohemia might be right up my alley.
Reports are it's pretty buggy, though, so for my $60 I'm gonna wait until they've worked more of that out. Maybe in a month I'll give it a shot.
Right, that's enough nattering for the moment! Have a nice three day weekend and I'll see you next week.
Currently playing Kingdom Come and I can say that you have the right idea. Its one of the most immersive, and enjoyable games that have come along for a long time and I can see it being nominated for awards but it is full of bugs and needs several patches in order to get it to be an experience without noticeable issues.
ReplyDelete$60 is too much for it right now even though the amount of content is justified for that price tag, but if it goes down into the $40 range, pick it up as it is completely worth it even with the bugs.
It is almost a historical life sim than an RPG at times and could not be further from Skyrim in its depiction of reality and combat. To give you an idea, in Skyrim you can easily fight three, four or five bandits at once, in Kingdom Come, like in reality, more than two soldiers or bandits will kill you in a short time.
If you enjoy history, political intrigue, and medieval settings I highly recommend it. It is also highly modifiable so in time there will be some great mods that will spice up the game.
Skyrim patched to heck and back is basically the only way to play! Bring on SkyUI, titplate, and whatever other silly things you can find that suit your current fancy. I quite liked having capes, myself. Hope that you enjoy your journey in the frozen land of Skyrim.
ReplyDeleteHopefully your horse doesn't run sideways into the distance like it's being pulled by an invisible, magical hand.
It makes sense that a game would end up having bugs not found/fixed before launch, but it is sadly reasonable to not jump on anything you aren't too attached to day 1. The last game I preordered because I adore the series ended up having one of the laziest translations--to the point where the Japanese original had better English names for some locations than the localization. It was... shameful, and sadly proved what I felt about the publisher in the first place.
Here's to you not running into those sorts of issues, and to your diet going exceptionally well. I could probably stand to try to take a page from you on that, but it's my birthday on Monday so that's increasingly unlikely until after then!
Thanks for the update! Still having fun going through #12!
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of Tabico's post, let's all take a break from porn.... Ahahahah... Of course I kid.
