Just started that:

So far enjoying it:

Spoiler

Thing are getting nasty with some tougher enemies and lantern stuff...

Exanima
It looks much better when playing...


I need to see what that armour is... Looks so cool...
Pollaxe is truly badass and polehammer too.

Spoiler

Terminus Est!Thrust is missing but it's a good weapon, hits hard, effective against armour, still balanced and reasonably fast with decent reach.







Some ordinary madness:

1 vs 1 isn't hard, if you don't screw things...


vs 2 is worse


vs 3 IS WORSE!


And the best if to go on dark when fleeing...
Now there are presets, still putting out torch and 1h sword is impossbile here...


I was able to flee to something worse.
At least he aided against skeletons...


That thing is really terrifying....

One of Hellfires? That looks awfully lot like one of Shadowman's trademark apartment maps.

 

[Astral Rag]

Riskbreaker
Yep, it's a Shadowman apartment alright

Of bears and twinks

Right in the feels brah

I shoulda kicked myself in the ass for even thinking about playing through this damn game

[Rahdulan]

The buildup in Of Orcs and Men is totally worth it, 4249. I just wish the ending was more fleshed out. Maybe they'll use Styx prequel games to gather money for a proper sequel.

 

[bozia2012]

4249 I got 100% completion

Rahdulan U wot m8. The writing is so fucking bad, all the tweeests just fall flat.



Ah, some content:

It's a cookbook!

The continuation and conclusion of Faery Tale Adventure II: Halls of the Dead (1997) (first part here).

Spoiler

A book helpfully contains hints on the locations of the Tapstones.

Underneath the city of Pentere is a large dungeon containing ogres and the like. A kitchen contains the cookbook seen above.

Making their way through the dungeon, the brothers reach the Tapstone of Pentere.

After removing the Tapstone, the Golden Tree springs back to life.

Exploring the northwestern peninsula yields little other than a lighthouse and a magic sword called Tempest.

Returning to the frozen wastes of Mons, the brothers find an impressive cave entrance.

Within is the Tekton Hammer, a unique item.

The Polar Sea.

Exploring the rest of Mons, a cave contains the Tapstone of Mons, encased in a block of ice that can be broken with the Tekton Hammer.

The jungle of Hatak seems to have been barely-implemented in the game, containing only a sizable ruin.

Venturing within the walls of the ruin, the brothers find Aztec-like structures and dangerous Plant Men.

A massive ziggurat stands at the far end of the ruin.

Within the ziggurat, the Tapstone of Hatak is guarded by a priest, who yields the sword Venom.

The elven city of Hethrallin lies in the treetops.

Elves are as snooty as ever.

Nearby caves are filled with Dark Elves.

Phillip macgyvers together a crystal, rod, wire, pliars, and fire-creature to create a flaming rod capable of burning through webs.

The Tapstone of Hethrallin is guarded by Kaidar, who also possesses one of the three Golden Apples.

The Dwarven Mines of Aroblin helpfully contains Dragonskin Boots which guard against heat and flame.

The Tapstone of Aroblin is surrounded by a lake of lava.

Amber Castle lies near the Dwarven Mines.

Within Amber Castle, the brothers must activate a series of teleporters.

The dragon Irastikaan possesses the final Golden Apple.

The dragon's hoard is impressive, but superfluous at this point.

Placing the three golden apples by the Spirit Steeds opens the passage to the Underworld.

Ruined columns denote routes through the Underworld.

The Rock of Despair can be shattered with the Shimmering Mace, revealing the Object of Hope.

This broken obelisk can be repaired using the Object of Hope.

The repaired obelisk leads to a hidden part of the Overworld, where Thorolis grants the Chaos Orb.

The brothers make the long and arduous journey to Sariloth's fortress.

With all seven Tapstones, the brothers have the option of joining Sariloth...

...but the triumph of Order over Chaos eventually leads to the entire world being turned to ice.

Without the Chaos Orb, there is still the option of defeating Sariloth in combat...

...but the triumph of Chaos over Order is less than palatable.

The best ending requires using the Chaos Orb on Sariloth to fuse Order and Chaos, in the style of Dungeon Master.

The three brothers are returned to their original world.

A slightly different ending occurs if one or two of the brothers is dead, acknowledging their sacrifice.

Halls of the Dead would have been a worthwhile game if it had been completed as planned, and they had improved the controls/interface and path-finding, which can be more than a little frustrating. Also, the music is not only worse in composition than the original The Faery Tale Adventure, but it is also noticeably worse in sound quality despite having the advantage of being on CD a decade later.

By trolls you nub...

 

[octavius]

Heh, even The Simpons did the cookbook variant before World of Warcraft.
But AFAIK it originated with Daemon Knight's short story from 1950.

 

[GrainWetski]

What does WoW have to do with anything?

 

[CryptRat]

I've finally played Wasteland. Amazing game, one of the best I've played.

Spoiler

Companion is stronger than my entire gathered team.

Killing nuns with anti-tank grenades, why not...

Yeah.

 

[Comte]

Wasteland is such a great game. I replayed it at some point in the last year for the first time since the 90's and I thought it held up quite well. I think it's one of the best Computer RPG games of all time.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Written by a Demon Knight?

I've seen the Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man (1962) and the Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror (1990) that spoofs it, but I've never read the original story by Damon Knight. I'll see if I can find it now...

While I love the look of it, not all of us speak Yin-Yang.

It's not really necessary, tbh. Pictures are informative enough, and there is a short overview of the story in English right here: http://retrogamedaisuki.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-26.html
The last pic is the Game Over screen, btw.

Finally got around to beating XCOM 2 last weekend.

Zombra was my first psi operative/magi (of two), and a proper badass. Mind-controlling Codices and shit.

The eponymous Kaivoks.

The team I ended up beating the game with. (The only custom nicknames are Neuromancer, and Zombra's character.)

Score screen.

Pretty fun, though mimic beacons + stacked health psi operatives make the game pretty hard to lose.
