I'm not big on the homogenising into unreal 5 but if it works well for them I'm all for it.

Yeah I am hoping they overhaul or embrace a new engine because that is what apparently killed mutliplayer for Cyberpunk. I dream of playing as trauma team and extracting patients.

I am dying to see the Strogg again in all their glory, once of the coolest aliens ever in a video-game. I dream of a remake of Quake 4 because they really went batshit with Strogg designs in Quake 4.

Haven't yet, have a massive backlog of games plus over things to worry about but I will probably be getting it at release.

It's absolutely nothing like most CRPGS but play Disco Elysium if you get the opportunity. I've dabbled in plenty of CRPGS in my time but this one was a masterpiece and revitalised my love fo rthe genre.

Owlcat's works are also worth looking into. They are amongst the most honest adaptation of ttrpg system to a computer game. Bonus if you prefer Pathfinder to DnD. I am salivating over the 40k Rogue Trader they are making.

He's talking about Lemmy of Motorhead who is one of the reasons Lemmy is called Lemmy.

Honestly from the memorabilia I just think that was Lemmy's passion, I was never a big motorhead fan but I've seen more than enough instances of his political thoughts to not really look down on him for his collection. He was a dude really passionate about that part of history and loved collecting stuff from it because he thought that the Nazis "looked mean". By that he meant cool. He got rich and instantly started trying to pick stuff up.

I suppose you could say his collection and widespread appreciation for the aesthetic was a bit tone-deaf and strange but I never thought you could look at his work and his life and call him a Nazi. He clearly wasn't racist giving his romantic history and had a few interviews where he talked about his disdain for racism.

Fun fact Lemmy actually owned a german tank destroyer called the Hetzer, or the Jagdpanzer 38. His collection was extreme to be honest. He had artifacts from all the axis countries in Europe iirc. I often, when I was younger, wished I was so rich I could collection historical artifacts from ww2 like that. I was wanted a King Tiger, a Pershing and an IS-3, never actually saw service in WW2 in combat but was in the Soviet victory parade. I liked big tanks. Sadly I don't think I'll ever get any of those.

I use Kbin over Lemmy for the record.

I totally forgot that I got the Spoilers phasmid myself on my first run, that was another stand out to me. It's such a beautiful and strange moment, in any other game it would feel out of place but for me the phasmid is arguably the greatest part of the game for me. I felt like hope and a miracle that something like that could exist in the crapsack world of Elysium and Revachol. With the fear of the Pale overwhelming everything and a constant state of drudgery and decline of a failed revolution it was nice to see that there are still things worth finding in the world. Harry speaking with it is a great thing as it lets him understand and overcome his self-hatred and shame.

Loved having Kim there.

"I see it, too"

I actually have played Disco Elysium and agree that it's writing is consistently higher than Cyberpunk's but I remember doing the devil ending in Cyberpunk and hearing male V express his fear of death, and the desperation to escape it at all costs felt so real to me in a way I've never seen. I've dealt with terminally ill patients and idk I've never seen someone capture the denial and bargaining as well as I felt it myself playing the character.

My favourite moment of writing in Disco Elysium was probably speaking to the boat lady who spits out some very harsh truths and for sure represents best the idea of "absords all critiques into itself" idea.

I must play Planetscape Torment because it's the other big rpg that I've heard lots tell me is the pinnacle of writing in the genre.

Kbin already is, it was very much a side project by Ernest that was no where near as mature as Lemmy. As it stands it is growing extremely fast, proportionally it is way more active and grows faster than Lemmy itself. Kbin.social iirc is neck and neck with Lemmy World.

Es ist gut für mich. Ich muss mein deutsch auffrischen. Es ist ein problem fur anderen leute, weil Kbin kein spracheinstellung hat. Aber Sie können wählen nur deine "Magazines" sehen möchten.

CDPR did something nearly every RPG or Open world game does. They made the main quest have a time count down that overwhelms/looms of side quests.

Skyrim does it. Why am I helping this dude recover his friend's bodies from a cave if Alduin the World Eater has returned and I'm the only one that can stop him. Fallout 4, is go find your infant son. BOTW, wtf am I doing fucking about when Gannon is on the rise? RD2, Arthur is imminently dying from TB but yet here I am romping around with no problem at all as long as I ain't doing the main story.

V dying from the chip is just like that, it's a flaw that many of these games have. Few games try to fix it, FNV has it so that the main quest factions that drive the story could do with your help/freelancing to put them in the best position. Morrowind makes it so you need to ingratiate yourself among the houses so you can be in a powerful enough political situation to deal with Dagoth Ur. This encourages you to do side quests.

Are there any search plugins in particular or is it just grab first one you see?
